i am trying to make a map but when i get to sapien it gives me an error. what do i do to fix it?

sapien can have many errors, you must be more specific. mby it would help if you went to your haloce folder and copped the last entry in the debug.txt file on to this thread.

this is what the debug says

A Degenerate Triangle is causing lightmap rendering errors. Import the BSP back into max and then import the .wrl, uncheck all three import options, and then fix the degenerate triangles.

is it to import the debug from the halo ce main directory?

I didn't really understand your question, so I'm assuming yes.
