Fixing open edges?

[JK-47]

How would I go about locating these open edges and fixing them?

[crackcocaine]

Open your map and go File - import then go to your Halo custom Edition folder and import "(mapname).wrl". Then uncheck "reset scene" so you can see your map too.

Isn't the wrl a gimp file? Cause I have 3ds max 7.

[crackcocaine]

I have 3ds Max 4.2 and it works for me. I think the importer comes with blitzkrieg.

Oh, well I don't have any wrl files, all I have is my .jms export and my origonal map model.

Nope its a type of 3d mesh file. With your maps loaded goto import> then the Halo CE root directory then its your map's name.wrl. To import you will have to change the file type at the bottom.

Ok I imported the file, now what?

This is all I see:

You have to load your level silly. then import the wrl file, make sure it doesn't do anything to the coordinates (from what I see I think it transformed them to max coordinates) and make sure it doesn't overwrite your scene.

Cool, thanks guys

One small question, how exactly would I fix these?

[a mammoth]

What I do is look at the verts, make sure they aren't duplicated for some reason, and weld them if there are two in a place that there is only supposed to be one. With open edge errors, well just close the edges.

[JK-47]

I hate being a noob but I'm still unclear, some of these are kind of invisible and I don't really know whats going on with them so I can't really fix them, in fact, theres only 1 open edge that I can clearly see that its there.

Thats the tricky part.
