ProTip - Incremental Saves

So on save file 51 I tried to compile the map and I got some stupid error. I went back a couple saves and found out that 40 was the last one that was compiling. Then I tried to figure out what I did between 40 and 41 that made the map mess up. I finnaly figured out my problem, one of my faces that I had edited had too many vertices. It was a four sided figure with 5 vertices and hammer's brain exploded.

So I then deleted that box in save file 51 and tried to compile...
It didn't work. So I had another problem between save 41-51. I finally figured out, after going back and deleting the box in my other save files that at 46 I made a decal under a health box and for some reason this decal (which I copied on both sides of the symmetrical map by the way) was messing up the map somehow. I still don't know how, but the way i had to find it was by deleting half the map, trying to compile, if it worked i knew the problem was in the half i deleted so i then deleted half of that half until i did this like for 40 minutes and finaly found both of the problems.

Now it compiles, but dang Hammer can be annoying sometimes.
