Malformed faces? Created 15 years ago2009-04-07 16:39:38 UTC by Elementx8

Ok, so heres the problem. I used to be able to compile this map fine, but after i took out some stuff i started to get the error "Malformed Face Normal" or something, idk what that means but i can't seem to find the problem plus the pointfiles given to me don't work for some reason. The worldcraft error catcher thing doesn't catch it either. Help would be appreciated

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'

--- END hlrad ---

Alt-P while in hammer, click on the one or many "texture axis perpindicular to face" errors, and click the "fix all of type" button, and the error should disappear from your compile log. = )

it does not come up with any of those problems

mine only gives me 1 error; info_texlights has unused keyvalues

so i don't see any of those other errors it doesnt come up with them

I dunno try a newer fgd maybe?(i'm using this one) What version of hammer are you using? (i'm using 3.5 beta)

um i think i'm using 3.4, where can i get 3.5?

plus i still can't see the errors with your fgd, maybe if i got 3.5 it woul work...
