Missing Shape Keys after export and material problems.

So I have a kirby mmd model with shape keys for his mouth but there is a problem. Every time I try to export as a SMD or DMX the shape keys would break and disappear. not only that but the model has a copy of the face materials and if I delete them, it would break the shape keys and show a black portion of the normal mouth. How do I fix?

What is the actual name of the missing shapekey in Blender?

Thats the thing, All of them. There is 30 in total I believe.
When i export they are all gone

The question then becomes, do ALL the names have an underscore in the names because if they do, they become corrective shapes in a DMX export and will disappear on compile.

If exporting SMD files are you defining the flexes, flex controllers and variables in the QC? If not, they won't be written into the model.

They did, But I renamed them so it wouldn't compile like that.

As for the SMD, I didnt try defining the flexes, I dont know how to do that. I want to stay with DMX but Idk why its gone after export.

Load blender and provide a screenshot showing the project and the shapekey names.

Other than the notes, I don't see anything wrong here, unless You haven't created the shapes on the model itself OR you have another DMX that you're accidentally compiling that doesn't have shapekeys in it.
