Model Texture Gets Weird Ingame [Solved]

I recently made a simple model and applied the texture and stuff. The texture looks good both in XSI and in Zero Editor, but ingame it looks like this:

Below is how the texture is supposed to look:

Here's a picture of the model's wireframe:

Only that face and another one on the other side have this problem.

Could someone help me with this?

Could you please do the following in XSI?

1. Press 8 to bring up the Explorer
2. Expand your object's tree by clicking the little plus icon
3. Expand the Poly Mesh tree
4. Expand the Clusters tree
5. Expand the Texture_Coordinates (or whatever) tree
6. Take a screenshot of the Explorer window and post it here

P.S. That texture looks really, REALLY good, by the way. :o

Here is the Explorer:

kth_bldg_rockwall is the object with the problem. This issue also occurs on kth_bldg_rockwall_lowrez which is basically a copy of the original object, with a lowrez texture.
I just didn't expand the Texture_Projection (Explicit UVWs) section because it had a really big bunch of MoveComponents, like, ranging from 1 to 551 (really). In the section there were also a few Dissolve Component thingies, two or three Quadrangulate thingies and one PolyPackUV.

You oughta freeze your UVs, to start with. I'd like to see a screenshot of your texture opened in the (XSI) UV editor as well (Alt-7).

I don't know how to freeze UVs. So far I've only found the button for freezing transforms. :cpu:

And here's a screenshot of the UV Editor:

Freeze is found in the lower right hand corner

You mean a small, slightly rounded, squared button with a lock icon?
I tried it. No difference.

It should be a button that says Freeze. Next to it is a button that says Freeze M. It is under the Edit section.

Sorry but I seemingly can't find it :oops: . Could you post a screenshot pinpointing the button's location?

Ohhh, your monitor's resolution is probably too small to display all of the buttons.

Oh yeah, that's problably the issue with the button.

Back to the topic, the link posted by Marth mentioned about Freezing the Operator Stack. I tried this as well, but the texture was still messed up ingame. :? :cpu: I feel like I'm running out of options...

EDIT: Tried a manual clean but no luck either.

I'm pretty sure your UVs are too far out-of-bounds. I see this error all the time when a UV map stretches too far from the origin (which is why you're seeing it on the extremities). It's not a model error, it's an issue with SWBF2 and how it reads UVs (for example, I don't think you'll see the error in simple mesh viewers).

Arrange your UVs something like this:

And I think you'll have better luck.

That solved the problem! Thanks a lot Mav. :thumbs:

EDIT: Just another little request. I'm still very clueless about many things, like materials, flags, what being a child of something means, what are clusters, etc. If someone could post a few links to pages where basics such as these are explained I'd be very thankful.
