Select BSP surface > F5 > Pan, Rot, Scale > Lightmap

256 for surfaces with no real shadows, up to 4 for surfaces with real detailed shadows. Using 256 as much as you can will lower map size and reduce required video memory. Trick is balancing both so you don't increase or decrease map file size but gain tons of great shadows.

I think it needs pipes running through the ceiling and large rooms need the structure support mesh like in weapons cache. Of course these are all just cosmetics.

added some structure supports and got the lightmaping done. The pipes seem to be a bit of a challenge but i shall work on it :)

Even simple pipes can change a lot. When I added them to glass kill house I think it made a difference.

Yeah I'm definitely going to add them to the pump and storage rooms. I dont think pipes on the ceilings would fit well in the offices but i could continue with the air conditioner vents like i did in the main blue offices.

Ceiling fans of death would be nice in the offices. I know there's several here that have a special place in their heart for the one on Pipeline. It has a tendency to attract bunny hoppers.
