hey, this is my first post, but i've never been able to make a map correctly. ever.

from what i know, i've narrowed the problem to this:

building collision geometry...
### ERROR edge #0 is open (red).
### ERROR edge #2 is open (red).
### ERROR edge #5635 is open (red).
### ERROR failed to build collision geometry.
### ERROR failed to inport collision bsp.

after i make a shader environment in guerilla and use

tool structure levels\*mapname* *mapname*

in the command prompt. everything else seems to be fine. it exported correctly...

 Parsing Materials
  Material 1: +sky
  Material 2: beavercreek boulder
  Material 3: blood cliff rock
 Parsing Geometry
  Processing Object 'skybox' (F:3840 V:1922)
  Verts: 11520
  Faces: 3840
***** Begin Jms *****

and i still am not sure what this command is for, but it worked correctly

tool bitmaps levels\*mapname*\bitmaps

and the result was with no errors...

Couldn't read map file ' ./toolbeta.map
### beavercreek boulder.tif
bitmap created: #256x#256, compressed with color-key transparancy, 42K-bytes
### blood cliff rock.tif
bitmap created: #256x#512, compressed with color-key transparency, 85K-bytes

so i have no idea what's going wrong. any suggestions/help is taken openly and greatly appreciated. if you need any more info, i'll try to keep everything available.

Don't give us the things that worked, why would you need help for them?

You have open edges.

yeah, you need to close the selected edges, by using target weld or creating faces.
