Looks like this has been answered, but I'll say something anyways.

As mentioned before, the UV (also known surface texture coordinate)
information needs to be specified in mesh2 before it can be used.  Most
modelers that support 3ds export should include uv vector information, which
can then be converted to mesh2 using Thomas Baier's 3ds2pov.
