Is there any way I can find them easily? I cant seem to find them...

Selection -> Edge? Then where? Sorry, I'm not so good at this..

In see no red lines. I get a grid or something. I keep on selecting it and I get this

Ew... Gmax :D Jk. You can't really find the errors. Except run stl check and convert to poly and select border and press cap.

How do I run stl check?

I heard someone once a long time ago say "select all the maps verticies and wield" not sure if that is good advice or not.

Weld. It removes most of the degen triangles.

vertex mode, select all the verticies, press little square next to where it says weld, set the threshold to 0.01, press ok

Not always. Also there's some errors you cannot find in 3ds or Gmax because Tool checks for stuff that you can't actually find automatically from these. The suggestion I have for you is get 3ds max.

Now I don't know if this method works on gmax but it's the best method


Go to Import-> Select type .WRL go to your Halo CE folder and there should be a file called beginner.wrl . Click import, uncheck all 3 boxes and it will create a erd triangle over your open edge. Go to polygon selection, delete all that's around, go to create and rebuild new faces without leaving any vertice open.

Finally got weld to work, it's wouldn't work the first few times for some reason. Onto guerilla xD

Thanks for the help guys, kudos to all who helped :D

Aren't I amazing =)

Yay for a sukky map that works! Huzzah! Now onto to making better weapons and skinnign things@@
