<div class="IPBDescription">To find a couple of bugs I can't squish</div> Okay... I have tried for a couple of weeks now to find and fix some bugs in my map (mainly invalid brushes and such... but 1 saw into leaf error and a bad surface extent)
I was wondering... would anyone be willing to take the time to go thru my .rmf and find it for me? I'll supply the .rmf, the compile log, and any other info they need... I just NEED to figure out WTH is going on... and I'm at the end of my rope... I can't think of anything else but to restart the ENTIRE map... and it's come such a long way too.... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It doesn't find two-dimensional solids though, maybe that's his problem?
I just can't see what the problem is with them... 0o' It's saying a square wall is invalid 0-o

send to me the map source.
send to me the rmf.
i wanna help u.
Open the map in hammer
Click on the menu "Map" then "Go to brush #"
Enter "Entity 0, Brush 695" into the form of the dialog box
click ok
look if the brush is damaged/fix it/rebuild it/delete it
This works in 90 % of all cases when i get invalid brush errors
And, even tho they show as the same colour in the 2d build views, they are NOT all tied together. I don't know why they have the same vis colour, but they shouldn't.
Also, for the last time
<span style='font-size:30pt;line-height:100%'> THERE IS NOTHING APPARENTLY WRONG WITH THE BRUSH- IT IS A 6 SIDED RECTANGLE!!!!!</span>
<span style='font-size:30pt;line-height:100%'> <span style='color:red'> IT ISN"T THE FLIPPING BRUSH! IT IS A DAMN RECTANGLE! I HAVE DELETED AND REBUILT IT NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK!!! AIGHT? UNLESS 6 SIDED FIGURES OF THE POLYGONAL NATURE ARE NOT ALLOWED...</span></span>
I'm sorry... just this is **** me off... I have MANY other rectangular brushes that pose NO problem... hell, even the brush on the opposite side (an EXACT mirror copy) doesn't bug... so why would this one?/?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->?
i always had terrible problems with 1 unit thick brushes, they never work right. try making it at least 8 or 16 units thick at the minimum.
if you still have problems i can take a gander at the rmf, just post it on my forums in the mapping section and ill take a look. link is in sig.
