May be worth keeping in mind that early versions of Doom had a lower visplane limit. In the Jaguar Doom source, which is based off a slightly later build of 1.2 than Heretic was (it has a BSP-based LOS check which Heretic does not), the MAXVISPLANES define is 64. MRJ may have been incorrect about quadrupling the limit (unless it was originally 32) and actually meant it was doubled, but, I would be tempted to believe his assertion that it was in fact increased from the then-current limit. --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] 22:12, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
