I was just curious...what, according to SRB2 Doom Builder, defines an "unused sector"?[/b]

There is data in the SECTORS lump for that sector, but no sidedef references that sector. In other words, it has data for a sector that doesn't exist.

Oh.

Would that be because, for example, you had one big sector and two smaller included sectors that take up all of the big sector?

no, then that wouldn't happen since the sector would cease to exist.

This usually happens when the mapper frequently uses Merge Sectors or Join Sectors.

Basically, it's cleaning up the WAD by finding a sector that has a number and data in the WAD file, but doesn't actually exist, and then deleting it.

That's essentially what I thought. Thanks.
