    So it crashes eh? Check if the bmps are indexed color(AKA 256)

    try using studiomdl rather than ms3d, as studiomdl wont crash, but tell you the error

    The milkshape website has some very useful troubleshooting stuff in their forums. When I had a problem like this it was because I had not indexed the bmp texture files as someone else suggested was your problem.

    99% of the time, when MS3D crashes when compiling, is that one or more of your .bmps are NOT 256 colors.
