I've been doing a lot of mapping, and frankly I'm confused on some points. I can't really understand why the engine does what it does sometimes. Sometimes, it seems, that it works one time but not others, doing the exact same thing.
I've made several maps now, and only a couple work. On the subject of 4.3, what's new?
