Bad Surface Extent Created 18 years ago2006-09-13 22:03:17 UTC by happyman

Okay, so I have my map, and I compile, however, it has only one error: Bad Surface Extent

What are the causes of/ways to fix this error?

[EDIT] -- Here is my compile log, as well.

Look what pops up when you type "Bad Surface Extents" in the Forum Search bar

Oh, sorry, I didn't look there. Thanks.

Along the same note -- how can I prevent this from happening when I texture prefabs?

Avoid low/huge texture scales, like 0.1- or 10+
