Grid Step really isn't necessary until you start making doors and elevators.... what it does is allows you to make a cleave a certain size.. for example: if you wanted to put in a 6x6 door you would switch the grid step to .6, check the box labeled "Snap to Grid" and cleave... you'll notice JED will move your cleave line over a bit..... it'll make sure you cleave a distance of .6....

Just open up your .jk file and change it from
Type 1 #single-player
to.....
Type 2 #multi-player (I don't think you actually need to change the singleplayer/multiplayer since it comes after a # but better safe then sorry).... you'll also need to add some walkplayers to the level for multiplayer spawn points...
Gob your project and enjoy....
