    I recently got Bad Surface Extents in my map (when loading it up in NS, the same as erendor). However, there were no errors shown in the log apart from 115% lightdata usage. I believe that it is a result of an under/overscaled texture, but I cannot of the life of me find out where.

    If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

    caused by textures scaled larger than 10x-100x and smaller than 0.1x

    Ooh, Fam's making a map?

    For some more info...

    "Bad surface extents"
    Caused by some dodgy texturing (either from scaling them up, or clipping) or an invalid solid
    » Check for errors; fix any occurrence of "texture axis perpendicular to face"
    » Scale down any textures that have been scaled up greater than 10 or so times
    » Use a lower -chop value (if you're not using the default value)
