And for the naming, here's how to do it :

damien wrote: 3. UV layers

the choosen material defines the UV layers requirements (and naming).
for most of the materials, you will need 2 UV layers.
- a layer named "Material" :base layer of the material, typically mapping your Diffuse texture)

- a layer named "Lightmap" :Mandatory, needed for lightmap calculus in editor.
WARNING 1: for this layer, the UV must not overlap, otherwise it will cause invalid lightmaps !
WARNING 2: if you have lods, the Lod0 and Lod1 for a mesh must "share" the same UVs in the lightmap (we store only lightmap for Lod0)

Note :
- in blender, it's easy to name your layers
- in 3dsMax (wich is classicaly index-based for layers), you can use the ChannelInfo utility to name your layers (comes with 3dsmax , available in panel Utility->More->Channel info)

Ok, buuut, when I do the 2nd Channel it gives me this:

[sarcasm on]
I have to say thanks to my 2nd screen that makes me forget to click pause while I'm doing the model... T^T
[sarcasm off]

Thanks to remember me that I've jumped literally like 2 mins of video.

So, your video has a for my part.b

And here is the result of my work:
SCREENSHOT

I only have to improve my work on modeling.

Here's an example because it's hard for me to explain in english : I'm talking of the green box



Because when we have 2 blocks that we want to put side-by-side, it's hard to put them exactly so that they work together.
