should explain it right there, but it doesn't cause problems as far as I know. Too unrap uvw select the faces you want to edit go to modifier list, then down to unrap uvw. On the right click the edit button. A window should pop up you can edit it in there.

Go to the link i posted then go to level compilation then scroll down to common errors and solutions it says that same error there and tells you what you can do fix it. I don't think it does much I've had that error and not seen any problems in my maps.

Your 3ds crashes when you.......?

Make your plane, DONT NAME IT, just texture it, name the TEXTURE NAME to

water

and link it to the frame. Dont delete anything, just make it, texture it, and jms it.

Now it should work.

ABOUT "LEAVES" .... Ill check it out.
