Lame 3ds texture question

[Hair Pulling Noob]

I'm really sorry for a lame questino but....

How do i export a texture map from 3d max to use with the export 3ds function so i can import it with irrlicht to use a a terrain/world map?

Looked, ggoled and search everywhere i can think and i just cant get my head around it!!!

Can export a map as 3ds but it appears with out any textures, all the UVW stuff i've tried exports textures per item in the map.

Please help, i dont really want to use bsp levels.

Cheers in advance

the texture must have 8.3 name and be in the same directory with 3ds file when you load the mesh (.3ds)
