I've finally made an inside-out map! Actually the credit goes to Tool. It apparently didn't think my map was good enough the right way up and made a creative decision for me....make the map inside-out. which compiled fine and played like a dream minus spawning inside walls and falling off the map.
solution: flip all the normals and recompile. which actually fixed it but totally jacked my uvw's. this pretty much explains why my portals got errors like 'outside bsp'. what i'd really like to know is....wtf!? htf!? why? |

Sounds like you have quite the problem there. Did you make sure all your angles were closed up correctly?
I recommend re-starting the bsp model from scratch. But someone else might have a less time consuming solution. |

Just flip it before you export.

I got this a couple times. I think it's because you exported with editable poly. Try exporting with editable mesh next time.

i started the map in poly and closed off sections as i built them. got too many errors so i quit using poly and switched to mesh. i made roughly 90% of the level in mesh. in fact my hierarchy only has unwrap and edit mesh in it but i have a suspicion that some of the problems were 'burned' into the model early on.
i'm screwed now anyway because i used a max9 trial and it has run out. if there is a newer version i'll download it and try fixing it from there. but once again i'll be working in a hurry and i don't really want to do that since the model was far from being what i want it to be. i may just do it all over in gmax. |

Just flip the whole level inside out before you export.

whatever the problem is it seems to run fine once i flip the normals. if i were just going to fix the uvw's i'd delete the whole unwrap modifier and re-map the whole thing over. map it all to the 'outside' of the bsp as it appears in max and compile it normally. i'm guessing that since the geometry works that way so would the uvw's.
