Which blb exporter are you using? Badspot's converter is limited to only 500 quads maximum.

Also, it seems to me that only those faces are missing which have more than 4 vertices. Try converting those faces into quads instead.

the model has around 480
the converter wont even convert if there are too many quads

tried the tris to quads thing, didnt really affect the in-game outcome

You can't use ngons. Each face must have either 4 or 3 corner vertices.

how do you convert n-gons into quads?

how do you convert n-gons into quads?

Ctrl+T, Space > Tris to Quads, and then manually fix the rest of them.

So each face can only have a maximum of 4 vertices? Thats disappointing.

That's how practically every single game engine ever works. I've never read about a game engine that supports ngons but I'm sure some do. You should never rely on them for gaming purposes. 3D rendering is a whole another thing though.

Quads (4 verts) is a similar thing. Engines can only render triangles but there are a few engines that support quads.

Blockland supports quads, right?

Only BLBs (bricks).

Additionally to that, make sure that your normals are fine.
I had this problem a lot of times, and it always concluded into the normals being screwed over.
