Hello guys, I am having a weird error in 3ds max 8 containing the UVW unwrap modifier...

When I am on this certain object, select a few faces I choose to unwrap, scroll to the UVW Unwrap modifier, and hit "Edit", 3ds max crashes. None of the other objects do this, and it also still does it when I merge/export it into an entirely new scene.

Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is that maybe there's some really weird geometry error on those faces?

I don't think so, the Unwrap modifier was working while I was unwrapping those exact faces, and then it closed. Now when I try to unwrap any part of the object, it closes. It seems to be the only modifier doing this.

E: I seem to have fixed it for the moment, I exported the geometry I previously unwrapped before this and replaced it with the old stuff in a older max file... Hopefully it wont come back.

one or some of these might fix the object:
meshop.removeIllegalFaces selection[1]
meshOps.removeIsolatedVerts selection[1]
meshop.removeDegenerateFaces selection[1]
meshop.deleteIsoMapVertsAll selection[1]
meshop.deleteIsoVerts selection[1]
(meshop and meshops are 2 different things, not a typo)
copy a line and execute it in the mini-listener, which is the white text box under the pink text box, in max's lower left corner, or run them all by pasting them into a new maxscript window and pressing ctr-e, with the object selected

Alright, got another friggin error

While exporting, max crashes and says application error...

Any ideas? I've tracked it down to the single BSP object.

I find that when exporting from max 8,all parts of the map must be of the same type.It's hard to explain.

Lets say you have scene in max made within 3ds itself,well if you were to import a .obj or something from another scene,the blizkrieg export will crash if you try to export the meshes because one mesh,the orginal is different from the other mesh in the scene.

I know this is confussing if your on xfire send me a message I can maybe explain better,that is if you havent fixed your issue already.

Make sure you haven't assigned too many materials to one face. Also make sure you have all of your materials labeled correctly. For example, make sure the "sky" material has +sky or whatever it is.
