I dont think Alexey have time for this. You got everything right, but be more concrete with your questions. Tell me what you cant do and post your script. I try to correct it and send you working one back.
About blank map map AI: try delete everything from .lua except OnSave, OnLoad, OnInitialise and task scripts (not sure about last one).

I would need to know exactly what the game requirements for a valid room, or better, to have a 3DS Max 2009 sample file from one room of the game).

About "how to enable the plugins", I don't think it need a video. Basically, you just have to copy both plugins folder from the tools in 3DS Max 2009 folder and overwrite them, then start 3DS Max 2009 and now filetype will be added automatically in the "export" menu.

So how your progress goes?

Not retried yet, still trying to guess what the game need for a room. The rooms I made on 3DSMax doesn't import successfully in the game.

Each time I import them in the editor, it only import them as a quadtree, even though they seem to have textures in 3DSMax.

It's too bad we can't export rooms form the editor into 3DSMax, that would make pretty easy to see how they should be to work.

But I'll retry to do it a bit later.

Yes you can. I've been trying to create a test map from scratch and I've been cloning some stuff from Snake Born (I'm intending to make a Checkpoint Charlie mission - there's some assets like the famous sign and Soviet and (modern) German flags, from back when Snake Born was the first mission and set in early 60s Berlin rather than WWII-era Austria). I still can't figure out how to add the terrain textures used in Snake Born, however.

How do you do exactly? Because clone is CTRL-V (so "paste) but there's no "copy" (CTRL-C) so I can clone something in a level, but not paste it in another map. Or maybe you talk about scripts? Because I guess he meant rooms and objects.
