Ok, I'll ask "Merging Sectors"

Ling mentioned "merging sectors" in DWBS today... Am I missing something? Isn't that when 2 sectors share a common linedef?
Or when there is a sector in a sector? Perhaps I'm getting confused by the terminology.

Imagine you've got a room (sector 0) and there are two pedestals in the room. If both these pedestals have the same sector (sector 1) than that is an example of "merged sectors".

BTW, I don't think Fanatic will appreciate you using his face.

Many thanx my good man. Tis appriciated.

If you have two or more (hopefully more) sectors with the same floor, ceiling heights and attributes such as tag number, damage etc you can 'merge' these sectors. This just gives them the same sector number. They don't have to be adjacent, they can be at opposite ends of the level or wherever.

In DeepSea the 'Merge sectors' utility is under Misc (its number 8 in the list). I tried it on my new DM level, cut the number of sectors from 180+ to nearer 70 and the file size from 114kb to 85kb, pretty handy.
