Great, so I did something REALLY stupid. I decided after learning all these new things, elevators, platforms, jump pads, to just make some funcs, targets, and triggers to read what they do. However I did so without creating a backup (mistake 1). Now when I load my map it goes through step one but then kicks me back to the main menu! I tried saving the rooms where I did NOT create the entities (pretty much all but the only spawn room I have), however that did nothing. Is there something I can do, or will I have to re-create my map? (If I must re-create it, since I now know the outline, it should only take about 2 out of 5 or so hours to get back to where I was before my fatal mistake) :disgust: :disgust: :disgust:

Set com_hunkmegs to 1/3 of your physical memory. It defaults to 56mb from back in the day when most people had 128mb of RAM. If you've got 4GB or w/e, just set it to 512 and you should be fine.
