The error you posted is simply telling you that there are 3d modles that aren\'t, erm, well, closed. I don\'t see why some missing polygons would halt the loading, as I think that is a message most people see.

Were you running it with -relight at the time? If so, there is a fairly good chance that it hasn\'t actualy stalled. When running with -relight, the client can sit for a looooooooooooong (especialy when loading the plaza area) while it does it\'s thing.

If you launch PS with -relight, it can take up to 45 minutes or more to relight the map. After relighting once, launch PS normally.

P.S. You can ignore Warnings in PS for the most part.

EDIT: Ahhhh, beaten. I type too slow.

Thanks for the quick response.

yes i was running with relight at the time. If i dont use relight certain places like the twisting path in teh dread realm, and the area around the magic hut some other places appear just black. When using relight i can see the textures.

so your probably right i just didnt wait long enough going back into the plaza. however. With out being able to see those textures its kind of a bummer..


Any other ideas on why i dont see them ? btw each time i run with relight it says it ddint find any light maps in teh cache. ( for what its worth).

You can try running it with \"-nolightmapping\" as an argument (and do this every time). This will mean that there will be no lighting, shadows, etc. Things will be very bright. There will still be some black textures due to other issues, but you be able to easily navigate all areas of the PS world.
