Liquids

Applying a water/lava/slime material to a brush will cause it to behave like a liquid.
Don't forget that you still need a floor to prevent players from falling out the bottom of the world.
Lightmap System

To build lightmaps type r_lm_build
Lightmaps are invalidated whenever the world is changed, so it's best to leave lighting until last.

Online

It's possible to jump around/edit online. Our netcode is currently very basic and quite buggy, so save often.
Server runs on UDP port 25787. If you want someone to connect to your game, you'll need to properly foward/firewall this port.
Current builds use Steam integration. You will need to forward 25797 for these features. Without a steam connection, your server will not appear in the master server list.
If you're running around a map, you're running a server. Anyone can connect to your IP and build/test maps.
Savemap is only available on the server.
