I used the ghosts jms exporter, and when I got to the next step in tool it ended up saying:

Aka. Wtf?

Open your max file and look for vertex 1509. See if there's a mess around it, and weld the vertices close to it.

OK but two thigs,
1. How I do find that verticie
2. Doesn't it mean it found 1509 verties
that looked like garbage, not verticie no. 1059

Going to bed now. Night.

you may want too select the whole bsp and weld everything. that would fix it. and you may want too start over if tool said you map looked like garbage Lawl.

whoever programed tool had a sense of humor they always put weird stuff in the errors like for example.. when you get a certain error with animations it says "have tom push you around in a wheelchair for a while"

Refined the map a little bit and tried it again and ended up with this:

About 2 screens full of them

Import the (mapname).wrl thats in your CE folder and it will show you where they all are.

Lolagesheep · Post by **Lolagesheep** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:44 am

EDIT: Well I imported it and the wireframe now has some different coloured lines. What do they mean?

EDIT2: Well i tried deleting them, that crapped up my level...

EDIT3: Im just redesigning my level now

You don't delete the colored edges, those just point to where the errors are.

i made a new level and it worked, after running radiosity in tool, i opened up the scenerio in sapien, but the level was completey black

TomClancey · Post by **TomClancey** » Mon May 07, 2007 12:38 pm

Did you do:

Code: Select all

radiosity_save

Lolagesheep · Post by **Lolagesheep** » Mon May 07, 2007 12:47 pm

er? all i did was run radiosity in tool not sapien

TomClancey · Post by **TomClancey** » Mon May 07, 2007 3:01 pm

I know, but did you do radiosity_save in Sapien? (I've never done radiosity, so I'm just giving a suggestion).

What about doing radiosity in Sapien, not tool.

Lolagesheep · Post by **Lolagesheep** » Thu May 10, 2007 10:43 am

Well how do you do radiosity in sapien? lol.

TomClancey · Post by **TomClancey** » Thu May 10, 2007 1:16 pm

Press the Tilda key "~" Then enter the following:

Code: Select all

radiosity_quality 1

[enter]
[Tilda]

Code: Select all

radiosity_start

[enter]
Wait for numbers to be all zero's.
[Tilda]

Code: Select all

radiosity_save

That should about do it.
