I'm usually too busy to check this thread frequently since I work on two games & it's never active because hardly anyone is using deferred. "Sorry".

That's looking really cool Sandern, is there any noticeable impact on performance?

Steve you can't just come back out of no where and do this.

Do what?

Very awesome Sandern. Love deferred, but hated that it broke maps compiled for lightmapped engines.

One question, does it load & play normal lightmapped BSP's without you having to manually modify them?

Yes, but it's more less the same performance impact swarm-deferred has.

If no deferred global light exists, I spawn one based on the light_environment entity:

Won't give a good result on all maps, but most of the time it looks good enough.
