So, I have been getting this error which I can't seem to figure out I've been browsing the forums and really nothing has helped out. I took care of all the open edge error's in my geometry but when I finish A new error started.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool collision-geometry characters\reach_marine
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
### collision_model.jms

EXCEPTION halt in .\import_collision_bsp\build_collision_geometry.c,#944: !realpoint3dcmp(point1, point2)

That's an error I've never seen before.

I would .rar up the model and post it here. Others have gotten the same error but no answers as to what or why. Looking at the geometry I could probably guess at what Tool's complaining over.

You have 2 degenerate triangles in your model. It means that those triangles are specified in such a way that they have 0 area because all their points lie on the same line. Cant really calculate collisions with something that you cant touch now can you? This is what it looks like:



Here are other collision issues you could run into and what they look like(courtesy of sparky).

wait, hold up I think I probably found the problem. yup found it

I did not make that image, but I thank you for whatever other credit you recognized.

Pretty sure it was either slappythepirate or slaphappy that drew that
I always confused the two
