## Quality of Life: Extended limits
We'd probably please people by adding hot precaching, extending limits and other niceties from engines like Source to aid modders. There's a format called BSP2 that the Quake community uses - I don't like it very much. It'd probably be better to support Quake II's BSP format (which was the basis for Source BSP anyway) and the new extended version that landed in tyrutils-ericw for the Quake II re-release. Why? Because Hull Sizes suck, that's why. Half-Life can only run tracebox code for specific bounding box sizes, which has bitten modders in the ass plenty of times. A bit of a pipe dream, but I kept saying to myself when making FreeHL:
