What you always wanted to know about the SDK but were afraid to ask

After almost 3 years of messing with the editor I still have so many noob-level questions that I just don't know the answer to and thought that asking them here would help everyone a little so here goes...



1. When saving your map, a dialog box pops up and usually shows at least 2 packages (your map package and "props_static mats"). Should you save both or just your map package?



2. When publishing a similar thing happens. Should you publish with or without saving packages?



3. When exporting a terrain which format should you use? (apologies to Wolverine because he already told me which to use but I've forgotten).



4. If, after importing the terrain, you get a long message saying it can't be saved because the grid references another package. what did you do wrong?



5. What is the right way to boost the overall ambient light on your map? I've been increasing the brightness of the DDL and I just know this isn't the right way to do it because the shady side of a building still looks like $h!t.



6. Under World Properties you can set the environment color. Some maps have it set to a color, some have it set to black. I don't understand how to choose which is right for my map.



I have dozens more questions like this but this is plenty for now. Thanks in advance for any help.
