I am using poly creator and am making really high poly pretty maps.
it says i keep making normal polygons but whenever i load one into soldat i just fall through them. whenever i make any kind of poly withs special attributes it dosnt work. like bloody death polygons i can pass right through same with damage and regen and every other kind. do i need to compile first? whats the deal?

You have to compile the map first.

MapMaker (Official) -> Click "Compile" button on top of window.

Polyworks -> Press F9
