Modeled with errors...

[Cortexian]

So yea... How do I fix that? And how do I find the overlapping stuff in max?

Import the .wrl with the name of your map on it in the halo ce root directory. The orange faces are the ones over lapping. It's usually when people don't specifically triangulate something and a vertex is placed oddly, and it drags a face with it, almost "flipping" it because of things. What I do is check under the map for what looks like a polygon that is facing you, I then find the vertex pulling it, move it to a place where it no longer pulls it, and it is fixed. Or, if you have something like a ladder, or just another object in the map that is for some reason not physically attached (the bottom being deleted, the faces around it deleted, then recreated), then that object either needs to be attached, or it needs to be moved so it doesn't go through any faces.

Oh, okay, thanks , I've found the **********.wrl file, now what do I do with it exactly? I tried importing it into the scene but it's just a huge face that appears on the side of level...

look for a orage face error. it will be a overlapping face, move the verts or faces away from each other

When you import .wrl files, uncheck ALL of the boxes.

Alright I'll try that, I was leaving one of them checked I believe.

Quick question. How do you import .wrl into 3ds max. Just need to know for future reference.

[Roostervier]

Click on "Import..." and go down to "VRML (.wrl) Files" (or something like that). The beginning is VRML, file type is .wrl. You could also use chimp, by I wouldn't understand why you would (since the other way is better and is already in 3ds max).

Alright I've gotten past the model errors I think, now can anyone help with this:



Using my astute reasoning skills it would appear to be something to do with shaders or textures.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got past that, it was simply a mislabeled shader or something of the sort... Onwards to populating my test level!

Basically, tool hates it when you use a .shader_model in a bsp. Just change the shader name in 3ds to one that isn't a shader_model in your tags folder, re export and recompile.
