Hi. hlrad won't run on my map. It produces this error:

BuildFacelights:
10%...20%...30%...Malformed face (690) normal @
(775.00, -2136.00, -264.00)
(775.00, -2168.00, -264.00)
(776.00, -2168.00, -264.00)
(776.00, -2136.00, -264.00)
Error: Malformed face normal
Description: The texture alignment of a visible face is unusable
Howto Fix: If using Worldcraft, do a check for problems and fix any occurences of 'Texture axis perpindicular to face'

When I search for problems, none of these come up. However, there are several 'Solid Entity (func_wall) is empty' errors. When I click 'fix', there is no brush to delete/fix...

Happens somtimes, copy your whole map and paste it into a new one and save it with the same name. Then check for problems again. The blocks that didnt exists shouldnt show up as problems anymore.

Just select the error, then click 'Go to error' and press [DEL].
Next time visit tommy14's.

:D Thanks Coolfat, the errors aren't coming up in the Hammer menu now, but I haven't got on to hlrad again because I now have a leak :roll: By the way hazardous, I'm not a complete and utter nonce. I had already tried the rather obvious routine you describe :D

Okay I've fixed the leak but hlrad is still complaining about an unusable face:

BuildFacelights:
10%...20%...30%...40%...Malformed face (988) normal @
(-25.00, -1368.00, -424.00)
(-25.00, -1400.00, -424.00)
(-24.00, -1400.00, -424.00)
(-24.00, -1368.00, -424.00)
Error: Malformed face normal
Description: The texture alignment of a visible face is unusable
Howto Fix: If using Worldcraft, do a check for problems and fix any occurences of 'Texture axis perpindicular to face'

Can anyone help??? This error does not come up when I check for errors in WC, the 'empty entities' are all fixed since I copied & pasted my level.

No worries I've fixed it by tracking down the offending brushes using their coordinates. ;)
