QC: $keyvalues prop_data vs $surfaceprop

I'm a bit confused about when to use $surfaceprop QC command rather than the $keyvalue{prop_data ... QC command.

My propdata.txt includes the warning " // DON'T USE THIS FOR A PROP. USE THE NON.BASE ONES. " for each and every base class ...

Please could someone explain ?--Beeswax 08:11, 30 Mar 2008 (PDT)

Hmm, that's a good question. While both of them theoretically determine physics simulation, I think you'll find that prop_data provides models with additional and overriding information. Why not experiment? --TomEdwards 02:50, 31 Mar 2008 (PDT)
