I know thats how games are made but HL2 makes 10 rooms with the same amount of resources used as you do for 2 rooms with special lightmaps for each object. What escapes me exactly? If you have a level with a wall and that wall has a 512x512 texture which is tiled on it, say this wall stretches enough to have this texture repeated 5 times on it. If you have a bump map you are using one texture of approximate detail (say 512x512) but if you are using a static lightmap for that whole wall you will have to have a lightmap 5 times as big to achieve the same detail. Since 5 is greater than 1, my logic is perfectly sound.
"dumb assed guesses" is something i consider an insult :) and in true gentlemanly fashion i will simply ignore you for a very long time without even calling you rude names.
To read something like "your outlook on the world... and on life in general :)" makes me feel like a pathetic worthless geek when somebody like you thinks he can tell me this without ever seeing/meeting me. You do it because you don't know how to insult me better. It's an insult to my intelligence (which i inflict to myself) to ever get into any discussions. But this, like all so far, is a conclusion worthless to you. I insult myself to even talk to you.
Oh and (to further insult myself) i'll say you went fairly quickly from saying: (just having a lil fun... don't hit me now :) ) to plain, simple, halfwitted insults.
