I've noticed something that might help: the wierd textures and especially the lighting problems seem to happen most when I change maps with the changelevel command or by beating a level. The next level ends up all screwed up. However, if I use a clean "map e2m3" command, for example, things look fine. Perhaps that will help in locating the problem; hopefully it won't complicate it further.
There's one other thing I've noticed. It's not necessarily a bug, just something interesting. When I quit DP and then run it again later, I usually get to see the last frame the game was on when I quit, while it loads. In other words, it's like the game took a screenshot when it quit, and then it shows it to me as it loads the map. Neat. Is that an intended feature or a "Microsoft feature"?

This doesn't have anything to do with the weird lighting bugs, but I did find a pretty funny bug in DarkPlaces.
Serious gibbage!
And inverted just for kicks:
No, I didn't run around shooting the ground. That's blood. You may be wondering how I was able to bloody the ground that badly. Apparently when I type 'restart' in the console, DP neglects to clear the stainmaps. So I just keep gibbing and gibbing and gibbing and eventually the ground (and walls) are covered in a bloody mess.
EDIT: This was during Wazat's Conquest, btw.

Actually, you can have it clear the stainmaps etc on map change somewhere in the options, I think in the effects submenu.
And oh, the bloody tales I could tell... Never make a box map filled with dogs and gib them all. And most certainly don't reload the map and do it again.
