=FAQ=

* '''Q:''' Can you make polys go behind the player?
* '''A:''' No, this isn't possible in Soldat.

* '''Q:''' The Palette/Scenery/Display window doesn't show, and it's checked off in the Window Menu.
* '''A:''' NoTry Window -> Workspace -> Reset Window Locations.

* '''Q:''' Can you customize the controls like in MapMaker?
* '''A:''' NoNo. You'll get used to it.

* '''Q:''' How do I put multiple textures in my map?
* '''A:''' NoPut two or more textures into a bitmap and use the texture tool to manipulate the texture coordinates.

* '''Q:''' I get this error when I try to run PolyWorks: System Error &H8007007E (-2147024770). The specified module could not be found. (Or any 'missing file' type errors.)
* '''A:''' NoMake sure these files exist in your Windows\System32 folder: MBMouse.ocx, COMDLG32.OCX, mscomctl.ocx, msvbvm60.dll, dx8vb.dll, scrrun.dll. The first three are included in the PolyWorks zip, the others can be found with google. If putting them in the Windows\System32 folder doesn't work try resistering the missing files: start -> run, type in regsvr32 name_of_file.dll_or_ocx.

* '''Q:''' I get a runtime error when I start PolyWorks.
* '''A:''' NoTry changing the Dir entry in the Preferences section in polyworks.ini to your Soldat directory.

* '''Q:''' Are there poly bugs in maps made with PolyWorks?
In PolyWorks the "bouncy poly" bug has been eliminated (where polys would randomly turn bouncy along the edge after compiling). Poly bugs associated with vertices still occur, but they are easy to prevent with correct poly * '''A:''' Noplacement. Read the Map Maker Manual for more info.

* '''Q:''' I get a Direct3D initialization error when I start PolyWorks.
* '''A:''' NoMake sure your colour setting is either 16-bit or 32-bit (control panel -> display -> settings tab).

* '''Q:''' There is no scenery in my scenery window!
* '''A:''' NoRight click with the scenery tool to bring up the main scenery list.
