What am I doing wrong (Custom map creation)

[LinkGray]

K. So I followed a tutorial and made a map. I skipped the bitmaps part because it wouldn't work for me, whenever I tried to put in the bitmap everything just turned gray, and when I compiled the map I got a bunch of errors like "Elite does not have a model. Chief does not have a model. No model found for blahblahblah, no blahblah found about blah blah, pretty much nothing was found by anything about nothing".

So I'm a little confused. And it obviously wouldn't load in h2sapien.

You have to have it textured with something. If you link it to a shader that does not exist, it gets replaced by some default rainbow texture. You also have to link it to the b_levelroot node for textureing to work too.
