Ok, first of all you need to have it linked to the frame in order for it be in the game, but I'm sure you know that. Secondly, the number one cause of crashes while exporting is the fact the new object in Max doesn't have any materials applied to it. It may show up in Max, but as far as the exporter is concerned, it's not there. To fix this, select the object and make sure the face/vertex selection is off. If it's on then there will be a yellow box around one of the vertex/face/polgon selectors in the right panel. Click it to turn it off. Then simply click the 'Apply To Selected Object' button in the Material Editor and try to export.

You're doing something wrong with the shaders. Make sure you understand what the different types of shaders are before making them. And be sure to fix that BSP error, that shouldn't be too hard. Just move a vertex slightly so the faces aren't completely planar.

if your not sure, just check kirks vid. its step 7 i think

Have you tried setting up your shaders again? I really gotta learn more about this..

Are you making a custom map, or like using kirks tutorial, making it the same as that?

Infern0 · Post by **Infern0** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 5:41 am

the same yes, i use that map for testing purposes...
