static brush? its that bsp models? Sound like something a bsp engine will hate. Even more bsp models floating here and there? with more and more lightmaps? On the old quake codebase all instances of the same bsp model share the same lightmap. I guest that has been enhanced, but this mean more ram needed ( every instance of the model support his own lightmap texture!). Other difficulty related with bsp models on the old quake codebase whas origin. By default the origin of all bsp models whas '0 0 0'. Imagine how horrible whas to rotate or correctly iluminate that. Nowdays childrens life with Source its sooo easy... ;-) <font size=verysmall> Maybe you can make all bsp models fullbright or something, so the engine avoid all lighting related task. </font> _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
