There are a few ways to get info from the user. I try to avoid popups if possible, because if you want to batch process a set of files, you don't want the user being prompted for stuff for every single file in the batch if that can be avoided. That said, there is rapi.loadPairedFile (or rapi.loadPairedFileOptional if you don't want Noesis to raise an exception on failure) to prompt the user for a given file type and get back the raw data contents of the file they've selected. Typically when I use this, if possible, I'll try an automated solution for finding the data I need first. There's a good use of this in the Duke3D ART Python script. It tries to load the PALETTE.DAT on the same path as the input file, and if it can't find it there, it prompts the user for it with rapi.loadPairedFile.

The best way to allow the user to feed data in is via the noesis.addOption stuff. This allows you to add extra advanced/command line options, with arguments optional. If you want multiple arguments, you just have to parse them yourself out of the string it hands back. There's a good example of adding and checking command line options in fmt_sof1pc_m32.py. The reason this is a better idea than actually bringing up prompts to get optional data/parameters from the user is that it works out nicely with batch exports. They can set those options up in their batch generation if they want, so they can get that functionality without actually being bothered to manually enter data for each file.

Noesis has supported .3ds files since version 1. If you meant .max files, then no, probably not. That seems to be a continually-changing format, and it isn't worth supporting when there are already formats that are meant to be open and convey just as much data (that is, in terms of what Noesis would even care about), like COLLADA.

I've never supported .mtl files in Noesis. I just write obj files out with the diffuse texture name in the material entry, which most obj parsers (like the one in Max) handle fine. Probably wouldn't be a lot of work to handle .mtl files, but it's not a priority for me at the moment.

Edit: I just put 3.52 up, it has a good number of global Python refinements, but nothing that should break anything anyone might've already written. There's also a Quake 2 BSP script which is a good example of how to handle lightmaps or other multipass rendering needs in Python.

from inc_noesis import *

def aloExtractArc(fileName, fileLen, justChecking):

		if srcSize+36 != fileLen or hdrBytes[36] != 0x78:
			return 0
		if justChecking: #it's valid
			return 1
		f.seek(36, 0)
		srcBytes = f.read(srcSize)
		decompSize = rapi.getInflatedSize(srcBytes)
		decompData = rapi.decompInflate(srcBytes, decompSize)
		dstName = rapi.getExtensionlessName(rapi.getLocalFileName(rapi.getInputName())) + "_decomp.bin"
		print("Writing", dstName)
		rapi.exportArchiveFile(dstName, decompData)
	return 1
