structure error with tool

Ok, I have modeled the bsp, textured and uvw mapped it, compiled the bitmaps, and made the shaders but when I compile the bsp I still get this error:

I'm not understanding why my material names are not being shown in the output. Help will be very much appreciated.ty
P.s. Would not having MultiMat and just having the Standard for each one of your textures affect this in anyway.

Yes, your entire BSP needs to have the Multi Sub-Object Material, with a different sub-material corresponding to each of the distinct textures in your BSP. The name of the sub-materials is the name of the shader.

I redid the materials and got rid of that error but now this is coming up:

I've encountered that before, I forgot how I fixed it. Try moving your level up so nothing is below the horizontal coordinate plane.

Sorry for all these errors but i fixed that one and now i have this:

I have been searching all around Gearbox but I can't find anything thats exactly like it.

delete the faces around that triangle and re make them

Tool for some reason isn't exporting a .wrl in the root directory so i can't find the triangle.

Not meaning to bump this (and this may be considered a little off topic) but when Ive been export one of my other maps, 3ds Max locks up and in the output box there is a Message saying "MXS gc".
Has anyone else had this before?

Just wait for a long time, it might take a while if you are using Bluestreak.
