any help would be appriciated, Thanks

EDIT: I tried to make water, is that the problem?
EDIT2: Oh wait, I forgot to flip all the surfaces, let's try again...
EDIT3: Didn't work


EDIT4!!!: Allright, I made the water with planes attached to each other, this was noticed by tool so I've redone the water; It compiles different now, but this is far away from the default, the following is in my cmd right now:

flipping the square works, it's only different than in other 3ds max version, to make is invisible use "hide"

The .wrl is the debug created by tool, open up your map withing 3ds max and import the .wrl; you will see that the big triangle is places on a specific face of your map

Halo CE Technical / Map Design » SAPIEN PROBLEMS :( HELP! Dec 13, 2008 03:26 PM (Total replies: 5)

Did you flip all the surfaces? If not, you won't see the textures or anything because it's sided the wrong way (tha back is always transparant)

Halo CE Technical / Map Design » Couldn't update edge... Dec 13, 2008 03:23 PM (Total replies: 2)

Hi,

I've made a new map with water and stuff, and I get the error, the problem is though that I thought the way to fix this error was to flip some surfaces, the weird thing is... the surfaces are flipped right and I still get the error... any help?

Thanks

degenerate triangles doesn't matter; to REALLY find the open edges, import the .wrl file into 3ds max, you can find this file withing your Hale CE rootdirectory, called: YOURMAP.wrl
