Hey I keep getting this error saying "Number of window setups must be 4 (for now)". What does it mean?

Edit: I fixed the problem.

I m so confused by this crap. i fixed the part about the window setup numbers, but i cant understand how to make the maps. if you could see what you put down instead of some red and blue and purple lines that would be helpful...

Quick tip on VIS:

If you want to shave some time off of your VIS, and don't mind the r_speeds going up a bit, here is a tip.

For example, in my map I have lots of "rocks" scattered around. They are 7-sided polygons streached and edit in several ways. The VIS doesn't seem to like all of the angles and stuff.

To make VIS ignore them, just make it into a FUNC_WALL. Thats all. Don't set any spawnflags or target name, just bind it to a FUNC_WALL and thats it. It made vis go about 3 times faster, although my R_SPEEDS is up 40 polys.

Also, you can use FUNC_WALLS to make openings that open and shut instantly with triggers

Um... or set the 'Detail' flag.

Whoa whoa whoa, do NOT get rid of the grid.  That's the worst thing you can do and leads to horribly constructed maps and leaks.

Double posting bad. Also caps. Your babies are mine.

If you download the pball mapmaking pack and follow the readme(s) inside, you should be fine. If you're not, tell us specifically what your problem is. Not just 'IT DOESN'T WORK' please.
