;Note on plane references | |||
:Planes are referenced by index from various other places. The high bit of a plane index is always used to indicate the direction of the plane's normal (or "which face of the plane is up"). That means that if the high bit is set all 4 float values need to be negated to get the referenced plane. | |||
