Problem with compiling

[imkongkong]

When i use ZHLT Compile GUI to compile a map i made, it said

"Try 'Check for problems' in Worldcraft/Hammer. You should see an error named 'Texture axis perpindicular to face'; this brush(es) must be fixed."

When I do check for problems in worldcraft, it says there is no problem.

Can someone help me?

What's the name of the error? There's a few that are caused by this. Having "texture axis perpendicular to face" is usually caused by making an invalid brush through vertex manipulation or carving, or rotating complex brushes without texture lock on.
If the offending brush doesn't show up with Hammer's "Check for Problems," then you'll have to hunt for the brush yourself. Depending on the map, this could be quick and easy, or very time-consuming.

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'

 

[Cold Steel]

When you compile, you allways get a compile log file. Check that log file to find out where the invalid brush is located.

EDIT: found it =P could a mod close this please

 

[Cold Steel]

Was my post of any help ?

Oh, and there's no need for closing this. It'll fade in time.

 

[imkongkong]

actually i sort of did, but not to what you think... i saw the error and saw no cooridinates at the end.. but since you said that i checked over the entire log file and found coordinates in the middle so, yea thanks

Closed per starters request ~ShAdOw
