Help with CODUO Maker

I've been posting on lots of different places where people are knowledgeable about maps and no one has come to my aid, so I figured I'd aks where the thing was made. I have a map, I got all the problem-brushes fixed, but now it has some sort of "code bug," or so the batch file tells me. I'd be overly pleased if you would look at this compile and tell me what is wrong (the triangulation problem, as well as any other things you might see).

Thanks!

Well, let's see what I can do.

There are alot of problems still existing.

You need to delete and remake all of the brushes with these error:

Entity 0, Brush ###: duplicate plane
Entity 0, Brush 2143: degenerate plane

The following error is a real toughy to fix:

WARNING: node without a volume
node has 2 tiny portals
node reference point 544.07 -1606.00 -18.00

The thing to try with those is to zoom way out on your map and draw a brush over the top of your skybox but outside of it. This brush must be larger in the 2 axis above. DO NOT draw it over any part of your map. Then select: slet touching and then hit delete. Do again for one side. Hope fully this will get rid of those. If not they can be a real bear to find. You can also try to go to the location specified in the error and draw a brush around the area and select touching and delete.

You will need to go to the vert positions that are in this error:

Problem face verts:
( -991.5 4639.5 412.75) ( -977.25 4640 409) ( -979.25 4640.5 409) ( -982.25 4641
409) ( -977.25 4640 409) ( -977.25 4644.25 404.5)

It appears they are all in one area so it may be a bad brush.

Also, if you have really big brushes, try cutting them down in size. Huge brushes can cause the triangulation error.

I hope that helps you. I have not mapped in a couple of years so my memory may not be so good. lol

Good luck,
