Hey guys... Amateur modeler and first time poster here...
A fellow I know is building a custom level for Team Fortress 2, and asked me to model some scenery for him. I did so, and followed his directions to a site with a plugin that would enable Maya 8.5 to export a .smd model. The trouble is, it fails to export a texture map. If there is anyone who has encountered this problem, or knows what I'm doing wrong, please let me know.
Anyhow, here is the site where the plugin was found.

I tried searching around the site to see if there was any additional info to be found about exporting or troubleshooting, but it seems that every section was very helpful except the one for Maya.

Anyway, thanks for listening. I hope someone knows the answer!
