Sounds like 2.48 isn't compatible after all.

It works (I've just tested it).
They're just doing something stupid like trying to open an unsupported format such as BMP GUESS WHAT IF IT DOESN'T DISPLAY IN BLENDER FIRST IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL

Works for me as well. I have a player files in .max that has animations. I have saved all 142 frames into .3ds and imported them to Blender and exported to .mdl. My Troubles now are linking the 142 .3ds files into an animation for blender to write out a animated .mdl

Why are you even touching the .3ds format? There's some fine MD3 import scripts available for Blender, which can import md3 animations, and OMG?! EXPORT MDL!?! HOLY CRAP
as for md3 export 3dsmax plugins, theyre hard to find. the working ones that is. 3dsmax is so crap and isolated between versions it's hard for compatibility to be maintained

In 2.49 you seem to be able to assign textures like this: Load an image into the UV/Image editor F6 (Shading -> Texture Buttons) Add new textures, texture type "image". Select your image.
Now the model exports, but with no texture. Well, that is more than not exporting because there is no texture.
edit: It seems you also have to F9, UV Texture -> New, paste Tex string here.
edit2: This works well: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/UV_Map_Basics
Careful, the image in this tutorial is in a bad size. Resize it to 400x200 or you will end up with a bad model (crashing most engines).

that means DOSQuake sucks and rules Your texture exceeds 200 pixels in height, which DOSQuake refuses to load Try Winquake at least. _________________

YOUR TEXTURE IS TOO BIG Work with power-of-2 values like 32x32 64x32 64x64
128x64
128x128
256x128
256x256
