Subject: Where New Fields Go

The entry is just added to the map file. The map files are simply text files
that describe all the objects within the Quake world. Use Notepad or some
such, and open a map file and take a look at it.

If you enter a value that is invalid, then you'll get an error message in
Quake. If an object has a property that doesn't show, use the New Field. It
will be added to the map file under that object property set. Qoole really
doesn't care. It just adds them to the map file.
