Alright, try and debug this puppy.

You open it, check out the error log -- nothing. Great!

Only, that's where the problem begins.

Save it as a MAP and try opening it. OH SHI- Hammer removes the brush because it thinks it is invalid.

Go back to the RMF and play around with the brush. Kudos to anyone that comes up with the solution. (This is an awesome puzzle, try figure it out!)

Goal: Get it working in a MAP format.

You may use vertex manipulation mode and the cutting tool. If necessary, you may create brushes. Remember that with vertex manipulation mode, if you select two vertexes, you can split that face or create a "line" between these two vertexes by pressing the CTRL+F hotkey (also, you might even be able to move selected vertexes around in the Camera O_o).

Good luck!

PS. This is a perfect single-brush example of how retarded and buggy Hammer is

That's something i did for a competition here a while back.
I'll take a look at the other files.

Ok what's so important about this specific shape

I want to know WHY and HOW this brush is invalid.

EDIT: Feel free to play with this, but my problem has been solved. From the front view, I had to split it in half, fix the vertex coordinates (because Hammer misaligned them), then spit both halves in halves as triangles. So far a total of 4 brushes. I feed the center two pieces into BrushGen to combine them. End result = 3 brushes.
