I am attempting to get a relatively simple BSP ingame. When I compile the geometry it gives me warnings about 2 degenerate triangles and a couple coplanar surfaces.

Deleting the entire area and remodeling did me no good. I figured that since they were warnings, they shouldn't matter, right? Well, when I open it in sapien and play it ingame none of the polygons show up.

The collision geometry is fine, and I can sort of figure out where I am on the BSP. I tried running lightmaps, but it gave me errors about both the degenerate triangles, and my HUD stencils (or something). This is bizarre, please help.

You almost have the right idea. But not really.
You probably have not run lightmaps. Even so, degenerates prevent light mapping 99% of the time. You gotta fix them.
EDIT: Oh, and coplanar surfaces don't show up in the .wrl. Somewhere in there you have faces popping out though another.

wrl doens't show verts, and It's not a good idea to weld unless you already fixed the coplanars first.
