Malformed face.

At the end of making my first map. Searched and had no luck. This would've been my final compile, BUT... things always go wrong right before the finish. Used Alt+P, nothing came up until the compile... says I have a 'malformed face normal'? Is it calling me ugly or what? haha Seriously though, any help is appreciated.

Fixed, thanks anyway. I made the clan logo in 3ds Max, converted through Milkshape to a .map file... Obviously somewhere in the conversion, the faces malformed. made a new logo in Hammer, and voila! Works like a charm!

Next time you suspect an invalid solid, try "Exporting to map> close map> load .map file."

Any invalid solid will be removed.
