W3D Import - Material Index OOB

[A1steaksa]

I just ran into an issue with material indices while importing a .w3d file for the Obelisk building interior from Command & Conquer: Renegade that I had exported from GMax (via the RenX plugin.)

I'm using Blender 4.5.0 and the v0.7.2 build of OpenSAGE.BlenderPlugin

The error I received was:

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/JSchneider/.config/blender/4.5/scripts/addons/io_mesh_w3d/__init__.py", line 205, in execute
    load(self)

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: material index outside of usable range (0 - 32766)

Attached are two .w3d files created by exporting them from GMax.
obelisk_campaign_exterior.w3d appears to load into Blender without throwing errors. (It may have some secret issues, I can't say for sure)
obelisk_campaign_interior.w3d is the file that produced the error for me.

Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide that would be helpful.
