This error, or a bad UV error always appear when I try to make a map now. How do I fix this? :S

you have bad UVs on 1 or more faces. did you uvw map your map? if it only has like 2 textures, select all faces > go to the modifier list > select UVWMapping > check box and set U, V, W to like 500 or something. But that means you have a bad UV when in sapien it says you cant run radiosity after entering the command.

When you get a bad UV error, you can import the debug.wrl and it will point you to the faces that are giving it trouble. Especially if you've got "hidden" faces that you don't think are there and end up being like .0001 units wide or something, just re-uving the entire map can miss spots.

Well, I used to get bad UV Errors. Right now, I'm using a custom texture I made in photoshop that I just UVW Mapped to be aligned with the map's walls. As for the other texture, the walls are just infinity cliffs and i've tried redoing the UV's. It says that it ran out of memory, does that mean maybe I need to extend the memory to use like you can do in maxscript (+=heapsize)?

I think if it's running out of memory then something's wrong with the map. Tool normally can't run out of memory, can it? How much memory do you have?

idk how much o.o but this always happens, regardless the detail or size of the map (btw, the map is over 32,000 faces :S)

I was testing out some snipers and their scopes, and when I tested one out, the scope couldn't zoom back in. First it scoped 2x (normal) and then it still scoped 2x but it said it was scoping 8x, then when I scoped more, it stayed at 2x and didn't show the multiplier and I kept scoping until I got exception data.

I've been screwing around with the scoping crap all day but idk how to fix it :gonk:, help?

You should always back up the tags. Check Halomaps for the sniper tag and start over is my advice.

No, I extracted some sniper tags to take a look at them.
They worked fine in the map i extracted from but when I put them in my test map the zoom is screwed

What map did you extract them from, and was it already modified somehow in that map (even if it was working)?
