I ran my map through chimp and about 3 minutes into it, it says:

Chimp Error: Object 'skybox' has an unknown material id. See Orange Error Geometry.

My skybox has a material id set to it... So what else does it need?

1) Use bluestreak; it is much better then chimp. http://ghost.halomaps.org/bluestreak/jms/ FYI, keep the grablistener.exe if you are using gmax.
2) The sky should have a material name of +sky
3) When you create your multi-material, sometimes max will assign the faces a material ID not currently used: (for example, you have 3 sub materials and max will give your faces an ID of 4) make sure all faces have the correct ID.

I found an error on one of the bridges on the map, It wasn't textured correctly or something...

Is there a program or w/e that I can use to "jump" my view so where other possible errors are?


My buildings are under the material ID of my ground texture... Is there a way I can select a texture alone, and turn that into a ID, I really don't want to select all the faces again...

Import the .wrl file created by tool. There is an explanation on how to do it in the HEK tutorial
32 bit system:
error fixing with the .wrl file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\HEK_Tutorial\references\level_design\mp_level_design\mp_ld_level_compilation.html
64 bit system:
error fixing with the .wrl file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\HEK_Tutorial\references\level_design\mp_level_design\mp_ld_level_compilation.html
copy and paste into address bar of web browser



See the other topic you created.
