But the open edge is the most easiest error to fix :(

Undo what ever you done, back to the file you exported (hope you have a backup file).
what i do i those cases is us editable mesh, select the edges dpendency and at the final theres an option called "select open edges". The you just fill that space with polys necesary.

I thought Flanker teached you well

maybe he did not provide enough nudes

It looks like you are using the worse way of modeling yet. Don't just create a box and tessellate. Gross.

But tesselation is how terrain sculpting starts~

This, oh my god, what are you even doing?

Alright so here's the rundown right now. Hitting backspace while in border mode will delete edges. You don't want to DELETE, you want to FILL. What you did was never going to help, instead it made it worse.

"Infected" seriously? Modeling isn't like working on a living creature, its not a matter of removing an issue by force. The fact that you even thought it was like that pretty much says that you need to sit down, back up, and start from the basics, because quite frankly you don't know what you're doing.

Before even looking up any tutorials on how to model, you should learn how to operate max properly, and from there learn what closed world rules are. From there its a matter of implementation but don't go through tutorials and think that small things are unimportant, because its those small things that make huge differences.

This is coming from a guy that's heading a project?

My recommendation is to scrap everything and just use a box as a BSP.
Keep things simple until they work. Then you can go and elaborate things.

What R93 said about deleting edges is correct. You've just made holes in your model.

Spend some time familiarizing yourself with what each button in max does. How to extrude, collapse, bridge, etc. Utilizing and understanding these is essential to making an interesting model.
You've got issues even exporting things so K.I.S.S.

I'm not going to offer any additional help other than video tuts and the occasional pictorial.

But since you are pulling on my heart strings, in edit poly mode hit "3" on your keyboard and show me the results in a captcha. (Take a few screens of different angles, 2 should be enough & post back here)

Yeah occasionally tool does that for me too. Initially I thought it was showing me the most severe errors and then once those were fixed it would then bring up the slightly less offending articles.

What I suggest you do from the pic is in edit poly mode hit "1" which should take you to vertex mode.

Once in vertex mode hit "ctrl+a" this will select all of your verts associated with your bsp and then hit weld at a threshold of
"0.01"

Whilst still in vertex mode you may use the cut tool to cut edges between non quads or you may want to take the quick and easy route which would be to just use the connect tool with all your verts selected. But remember that will triangulate your mesh which may make things a teeny bit harder to select.

Then convert your mesh to an "editible mesh" and try exporting once again.

If at any time you feel you are perhaps making an undesirable change to your scene and you are not sure if it will work out save your max file under a different title name.

Then if what you tried did not work out you may revert back to the previous file.

It's basic stuff but yeah.

I've covered the cut tool in a few of my videos so I suggest going back and watching them again.

But in a nut shell the cut tool allows you to independently cut edges from one vertex to another.

Well you still have NGONS.....select all your verts and hit "connect" in the edit mesh or poly rollout, if hitting connect doesn't seem to do anything then you may have duplicate faces.

Well it seems we are on the right road. To my knowledge degen tris never stopped a full compilation process for me but if you want to make sure all the errors are whipped out of your test bsp then I recommend doing this:










Remember to select only a group of vertices surrounded by a single wrl helper object.

Don't select every single vertex surrounded by every single helper you have in your scene otherwise you will end up collapsing vertices from different parts of your bsp which will look awful and ruin the compilation process.

Well what does it say in the debug window?

"overlapping faces" if you or anyone watched any of my videos specifically part 18 I do go into detail on why overlapping faces are bad and how to fix them. If it isn't in 18 it's probably in a previous video or you can use google:

Have you added player starting points or for that matter net game flags?

Go watch the second half of part 17.

That looks amazing just add some geometry to the cliffs and it may be considered decent as well as that smooth out the terrain so it is more natural.

I just don't understand why you don't go through flanker's tutorials, and then try these techniques on your own, or just do it at the same time as he does it in the tutorial... I'm sure he walks you through it if you're patient enough.

I know right !!!!

I still say you should use a box

Just go through the video slowly piece by piece then after each step do it your self if you get stuck with that part watch that bit again.

Are you purposefully trying to be unlikable because its working

Hey it worked in me

I'm going to administer some tough love here and agree with nicky. You will never evolve with an attitude which demands constant help and attention.

Follow what I have uploaded step by step. Then attempt to re-create it without watching the videos, if you have any trouble then by all means go back to what you had trouble with.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned in one video that you have to open up snapping settings, enable vertex snap only, and check axis constraints.

2 or so months later whut?
