I compiled the bsp and everything worked out except for 8 degenerate tri's and a few cyan error geometry errors.

BSP has 20549 nodes, 10176 leaves

0 portals, 1 clusters

I ran lightmaps (no errors) and opened the scenario file in Sapien and the entire bsp was flipped. What caused this error? How do I fix it?

Make a box in Max, attach the level to the box. Then just delete the box. Then re-exort and it should work.

If that doesn't work, flip the map inside out in Max and re-export, but that can cause some UVW errors.

I fixed all the errors the compiler told me to fix, and tried your box thing. Bsp is still flipped. Any other suggestions?

In sapien, it mensions a warning about a cluster in structure_bsp (directory) has no backg...

the no background sound is normal...it will always say that until you populate sound in sapien. don't worry about it...

as for the inside out bsp..i've only fixed this one way...turn it inside out and re-uvw. i don't know why this happens but i did notice that it happens more when you use "attach" alot. you'll catch it right away if, when you create, you have to go clockwise in order to create a face that is facing you.
