To anyone who's collecting a list of doom error messages I got this one  
when triggering a GR SW1x with the chaingun: 

P_StartButton: no button slots left! 

If you've heard of it before, just ignore this message..

    I have a question. I looked all through the DOOM Specs 1.6, and 
I didn't find anything on Doom limits for vertices, linedefs, sidedefs, 
sectors, etc... I might have missed it, bit it wasn't in section  
A-2. I would like this info because DCK is crashing on a level I am 
making that has 8192 sidedefs. Is this just another stupid problem 
with DCK, or have I hit a WAD limit??? Thanks.

Yeah, but I do have a beef with its built-in BSP builder.  I use WARM  
myself, and it works well albeit slowly.  It does have one odd quirk that  
I can't quite understand. 

In my HIVE.WAD, I have 160-length lindefs with the METAL1 (hexagon, width  
64, appropriate for a beehive) texture.  When I align them, they work  
most of the time, but sometimes I get only some of the texture aligned.  The  
problem seems to be that the first instance of the texture (left to  
right) on the linedef is offset correctly, but later instances are not  
offset at all. 

Why is this so?  /:|
