OBD talk:AKEV

If we ever need to "versionize" AKEV as a whole (rather than its components), then the 12.0 float at the end is a good candidate for a version number, or flags, or whatever. It is not used by the current engine. The name "inchesPerPixel" seems to indicate that the float is a leftover from dynamic lightmapping, and that lightmaps were supposed to have a consistent resolution for all the geometry in a level, whether they were stored on disk or generated on-the-fly somehow. "Twelve inches per pixel" means that light/shadow pixels (texels) were once the size of a square foot (30.48 by 30.48 cm). This may seem coarse, but would have helped by blur/interpolation. --geyser (talk) 13:52, 23 June 2021 (CEST)
