I get this when I build intermediate geometry, and it's my only idea of why my ground in sapien is all white, but there is a sky. I know it isnt my computer since I can see the tutorial map just fine in sapien. Here is the warning I get.

When you make shaders, don't leave them in the tags directory. Put them in your shaders folder in you map folder. As for this, you have two shaders named the samething or something. Try retexturing your map.

I really dont understand, I'm new to this.

You never named your shaders. Give them the right name in max. Also, delete the shaders tool made. You want to make your own or use the ones that came with HEK before you run structure.

Do you mean the material editor where I place the bitmap? Also, I only made a shader_enviroment in Guerilla cause yayap's tutorial said to make that one, and name it "Horrid_ground.shader_enviroment".

Yes. The material name in (g)max must be the exact same name as it is in your tags folder. It is helpful to create your shaders before you structure the map.
