Yeah, it's surprising, some of it is so wrong. Realistically the game needs remaking from the ground up.

Yes, DP has reported how the lightmaps in the original game are often a complete disaster. Honestly, I sometimes wonder - considering all the input from modders that delved into the game's resources - how the game could be kept together, let alone making it functional enough. 😅

I haven't had a close look at other areas of the game, Manaan definitely has some spectacular messes though. It's infuriating, so many vertices slightly out of line! It really is! I have also been looking into cleaning up excess geometry, deleting faces that cannot be seen and merging faces that can be one, like this. It seems somewhat pointless but I feel like making the changes while I am there. I haven't actually applied these changes to my fixes yet because I need to figure out how to properly adjust the lightmap in order for this to actually work, though there are countless problems with the lightmaps, I would rather not add more.
