Somewhere in the map you have two polygones in the same place.
The way you fix this is Gmax run the chimp script and then use the wrl importer that can be found in the side menu. this will ask you to find the wrl file It should be in the halo ce root directory call nameofmap.wrl open it and it will show you where the error is just delete one of the faces that have been hightlighted and remake them. 3ds Max to ope the wrl file it FIle/import/ select wrl allmost at the bottom of the scroll list for type and just do the same as above |

Hmmm..nearly coplanar surfaces. I wonder if it has problems with perfectly coplanar surfaces.
Ya, as he said, tool or chimp will have made a file in the halo ce directoty which you can import and it will highlight all the areas with problems. Delet all the stuff around it and rebuild it. |

The wrl file is a file that is created by tool when it finds a error in the map.
It will be located in the halo ce root directrory. If you .jms file was call mylevel.jms the .wrl file will be called mylevel.wrl Here is a small video on how to import the wrl with gmax http://files.filefront.com/gmax+wrl+importrar/;11174062;/fileinfo.html Here is a small video on how to import the wrl with 3ds Max http://files.filefront.com/3ds+max+wrl+importrar/;11174276;/fileinfo.html I hope this helps |
