True, but I wouldn't bother with double-pass dynamic lights, really.

FBSP version of q3bsp format uses 512x512 lightmaps natively. and yes, high res lightmaps do help contrary to what mh says!

Too bad I've never actually ported tochris to using DDraw init code :/ Along with proper renderer separation a-la Quake2. Good job anyway!

Off-topic: Although I don't get this obsession with asm code removal, it still performs a ton better than the C version.

What you're trying to accomplish isn't quite possible without using a 3D texture for the lighting attenuation. You might look up qfusion/warsow source code to see how it's done there.

Btw, the thought of reviving ToChris keeps on popping up from time to time Maybe I should just proceed with it but there are higher priorities at the moment.

Look into ToChris source for asm implementation (along with C one of course) of quake models animation in the software renderer. Anyway, this was implemented like 7-8(?) years ago so I find it amazing this is still hot news over here.
