Regarding the lightmaps, no flickering at 1024x768, but there is dithering.  EdT

:I'll need an explanation of what you mean by "dithering", ideally a screenshot. There's not supposed to be any dithering for either flavor. The 4-bit version will have [[wp:posterization|posterization]] a.k.a. [[wp:Colour_banding|banding]]. Is that what you mean? In any case, try and get the 8-bit version to work (you must byte-swap the BGRA channels to ARGB, if I remember correctly). [[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:05, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

::Sorry, the correct term was banding :-)  I will try swapping the channels, next time I have some free time.  EdT

:::No hurry for the 8-bit version, the only difference about it should be the lack of banding. Apparently we've established that the Z-fighting (flickering) is gone. Now we probably need to have OniSplit consolidate the mesh automatically upon import (e.g., snap vertex coordinates to the nearest sixteenth-of-an-integer, or something like that), so that the polygons and their lightmapped duplicates coincide exactly. We also need to disable collision for the lightmapped mesh. I will try to consolidate the arena manually ASAP, and upload a flawless lightmapped version for you guys to use in videos etc. Tutorials will come later.
