BSP / related engine limits

Yes, it has reached the end a while ago.

Yes, it can be extended.

No, qbsp / tools people can't fix it, because there are no more tools people in the community (Bengt Jardrup was the last person to specialize in tools afaik). Tools code is apparently hard to understand.

Maps that use external BSP models, I'm not really sure but afair:

e1m2quoth (?)

e1m6rq

probably necros' maps (?)

Maybe ask at func_msgboard if someone can name maps that use external BSP models.

In ne_ruins, type r_drawentities 0.

As far as build tools, LH keeps hmap2 updated. Don't know if provides a solution. hmap2 and txbsp have -subdivide option to increase split polygon sizes and therefore reduce vertices. But requires engine support to know how lightmap scales to larger surfaces (I think that is the reason...).

Ajay, BSP2 will fix your issues with the limits.
