Missing brushes

Hey,

I've got a problem exporting to TGEA, some of the faces dont show up...

I tried this: http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=67687

That made it worse :(

What it should be:

Try the 1.0.4 download here - there is some additional code to work around some common issues:

Note: this is a temporary update, people who are not experiencing disappearing polygon issues may want to wait until I can put up a real update.

@abydos:

That link I posted is a newer preview version that has additional code to work around some common issues that cause disappearing polygons. Since it is a prerelease, I have not incremented the version number. I will do so when the next version is due out (once I have figured out some problems with the Zones).

More likely it is something to do with HSR. If you turn of HSR, does it help?

One other thing - all the brushes are convex, right? (no red lines)

If you want to send the CSX to me, I could export it in the debugger, and see if I can figure out what is going on.

Abydos, could we see a wire frame view? Im expecting this could actually be a simple problem. Watching for where the brush 'cuts' the BSP, pick brush that are near where the missing face are located, and switch them to DETAIL BRUSH. I can see from the screen shot that the poly face that ARE staying behind that you have multiple angle brush cuts....

@abydos:

I've duplicated the error. What is happening is for some reason, the faces are being discarded because they have duplicate vertexes, and when the duplicates are removed, there are only two in the polygon. I'm trying to figure out how this went so wrong. Maybe I can figure something by the end of the weekend.

@Benjamin:

If you want to send me the map, I can see if I can figure it out as well. If it is the exact same problem, your map would definitely be easier to debug.

I don't really have anything that can help you, but I've got to say that is a gorgeous interior shape. Excellent job on it!
