I've made maps before and NEVER had this issue.
All i did was make a simple skybox, flipped the faces, linked it to 'frame' compiled shaders and such. Whenever i compile it my skybox gets open edge errors which is impossible since it's, well, A BOX! I'm using 3DS Max 9 with that blue exporter thing so maybe that's the issue.. As i said, i've made maps before but i was just refreshing my knowledge of compiling commands. I really don't know how an un-edited cube can possibly have open edges. Even the debug.wrl says that their are open edges but there just aren't any at all. Should i just revert back to Max 2008 or am i missing something here? Thanks  |

What are your material names? If you're using flagged shader names other than +sky, some faces may become special collision or render only, leaving a hole in the collision bsp

I'm using multi-sub object... The sky is called +Sky and the ground is called the exact same name as a pre-chosen Halo texture.
Well i downgraded to Max 8 and the Blitzkrieg just refuses to stop giving me that stupid ERROR 127 message. I did use the 3DS Max version of Blitzkrieg, put the DLL's into system 32 folder and the .DLE into the plugins folder.. Restarted 3 times now but still no luck.

You sure you flipped all the faces? You could check "show normals" and set the normal length to something visable, 100+

Yes i flipped them all...
Any way it turns out that Blitzkrieg is very picky between 3DS Max 8 and 3DS Max 2008. Works with the latter but not 2008 for some reason. Installed Max 8 and Blitzkrieg works now so i'm going to see if it is actually, in fact, the Bluestreak tool causing the problem. Oh well i guess this means i have Max 8 and 9 on my computer now but i'll be using Max 8 more for Halo CE as that is what i always used to use 6 years ago. ***EDIT*** Yep it's definately Bluestreak's tool that's causing the problem. Just made and compiled a simple map within the space of 5 minutes. Thanks for your replies  Edited by TacticalSiege on May 30, 2011 at 11:23 AM |
