The temporary workaround i found is to change the external lightmap paths (e.g. to /textures/lightmaps/) in the shader and move the lightmaps there. Now it behaves like a normal shader...

My suggested solution (q3map2 method) already satisfies all mappers. A 3rd renderer wouldn't fix the mentioned issues.

only if q3e devs agree to revert this change. otherwise there is no point. we will also need their help to understand which compiler keys would give the desired result.

Ok, after some testing I realize that my suggested solution probably doesn't make sense. But I came up with another solution that produces identical lighting with internal and external lightmaps,...

What even is an 'incorrect shader'? If it achieves the desired result, it's good, no? I don't think you can get the same visual result by editing lm in paint...

lm tex coord are definitely usable and potentially useful for other things like masks. Btw when's the next release planned? Would be good to avoid more mappers using the recent...
