This is because when you goto Export Bsp ... in qoole it generates a
.map and a .wad from all the USED textures in the map..This makes sense
to me becuase the smaller the wad is the easier it is for QBSP to open
it and read the textures from it. BUT your error is not about the WAD it
is apparently something to do with when qoole generated a .map
file...notice it checks the entity "worldspawn" and says it has "no
valid brushes" that implies that there was an error when generating the
.map.
