    Did you create this map in Constructor or another program to import into Constructor? One of the things that I'm wondering is how you created the curved steps as a single brush rather than it being split up. Did you, by chance, export it as a .map file from a 3D modeling package (Max, Maya, Blender, TrueSpace, Lightwave) or use something like unwrap3D to generate it from another package? Then loaded it into Constructor and saved the .csx file?

    Ah, that makes sense. .map exporters from polysoup applications generating interesting data are the first conclusion I jump to when I see geometry that doesn't necessarily look like it was created in a csg app.

    Did you check the console to see if there was something nasty in there. I didn't see anything the seemed amis upon scanning.

    I saved it as a .map file and then reloaded it. It seems that a *LOT* of brushes were malformed. Some of the ceiling segments were the biggest offenders. Did you do any vertex manipulations or anything when creating the brushes?

    Well if you put a texture on it, the texture must be a power of 2, here are some:

    2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024... Remember, it needs to be pixels in powers of 2.

    I retextured the entire map when I opened it since the texture wasn't included in the zip. The problem is the brushes, not the texture in this case.

    Malformed I'm not sure covers it.. seems there are many brushes... going to take another look.

    Geometry_scale non-power of two?

    edit: I think this is your problem.. check it.. yours is set inappropriately so after I changed it to 32.. exported fine.


    Good Luck,
