Getting Near Your Map Limits?

<div class="IPBDescription">here is a complex work around</div> we all know that NS maps often hit the limits.

over at The Collective, ?Maze-Master? came up with a clever work around, but it is work.

that's some freaky hacking there, I am mighty impressed

Yes, nice hack. Almost a 'science'.
But I will never use this, except I create illusionaries with additive or normal render-mode. Holograms for example could massively benefit from this technique, as only one instance of the model has to be created and light. Btw - Cagey: How does RAD react when it encounters a brush-entity with a rendermode that does not use light-maps and has no name so that no env_render can change it's rendermode? Will it still light the entity? I mean it is a clear waste of time to calculate lightmaps for a complex hologram, right?
