Ok, i was bored, so, i made this huge space station. its just a collection of premade models jumbled together. I also used selentics bases in the making of it, so, Now you know selentic.



Ive already tried putting it in-game and it doesn't work.

When compiling using Tool the following warning message appears:

### WARNING found # degenerate triangles.

Solution:

There is an error in the construction of the triangles that compose the level geometry.

Check for triangles that have had edges turned or have been modified such that 2 edges of the triangle now exist in the same space (share the same vertex coordinates).

These will often appear in 3ds Max as a single edge when in fact it is just the collapsed or malformed edges of a triangle all occupying the same space.

how do i do that?

EDIT: i figured out the problem. All the bridges have errors, so.... how do i fixed them?

I'm not entirely sure how to fix that error, all I know how to do is explain them. Basically it's saying that there are two triangles sharing two vertexes. Overlapping faces means there's two triangles sharing THREE vertexes. Basically let's say you have a triangle like this:

/|
¯

and another triangle like this

|\
 ¯

If they overlap to appear like this:

|V|
¯¯

then obviously something's wrong. XD

That's the best I can explain it. ><; I suck at explaining this error really, and I'm not entirely sure how you'd fix it without deleting/recreating faces or something.

Very nice diagram. Also no, you have to delete and recreate.
