Malformal face Created 19 years ago2005-07-07 07:56:20 UTC by Daubster

Ok, I wanted to compile my map and I got this err.

BuildFacelights:
10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...Malformed face (2747) normal @
(-2278.00, 1325.00, 90.00)
(-2278.00, 1328.00, 90.00)
(-2278.00, 1328.00, 90.67)
(-2278.00, 1324.96, 90.67)
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'
It says that I should check my map for errors. So how come, when i press ALt+P I get a dialog, saying "no errors were found"??
Maybe I should try finding the face manually. Any1 know any ways of doing that or any solutions for this problem??
All help would be apreciated...

Use the coordinates to find the problematic brushes.

How do I do that?
I don't know where the coordinates are shown...

At Tommy14 it says that I'll have to find the malformed face myself sometimes, but it doesn't say how...

The coordinates are the little numbers on the lower right of your Hammer screen. However, only 2 sets of coordinates show up at any given time, dependent on what which view window your mouse pointer is pointing in--xy, xz, yz.

(-2278.00, 1324.96, 90.67) Where:

x = -2278.00
y = 1324.96
z = 90.67

Firstly in the xy window, find the first 2 sets of coordinates, like looking straight down on a flat plane. Then use one of the other 2 windows, which include your third coordinate, to find how high/low your problem maker is on the z plane.

Hope helps.

Thx for explaining! I think I've found it!

w00t!!!! It compiled!!! It compiled!!! Thx, rowleybob!!
