When i use images made in 3DS the images are seen in Dark Basic without any color. I guess this could be any option in the export of 3ds that i use, or don't use. Does anyone knows anything about this?

Usually what you'll want to do is put the texture(s) you're using for the model in the same folder as the model itself. If that doesn't work then load the texture using the "LOAD IMAGE" function and then apply the texture to the model using "TEXTURE OBJECT".

Here's a quick example:

+ Code Snippet

load object "media/myModel.3ds",1
load image "media/myModelTexture.jpg",1
texture object 1,1

I'd recommmend using only one texture per model as it can get VERY complicated otherwise, and the above example code will only work with one texture per model. If you're new to 3DS take some time to learn different modelling techniques and UV texture mapping to get things going.
