Synopsis

Please modify the lightmapping script and/or associated binaries to get normals correctly to the lightmapper.

Description

As taken from LightMapper.py:

# TODO: Normals are not currently getting to Yafray. Lightmaps would look much better with them, though

There's not a whole lot to add to that, really. Especially caves and similar environments with lots of round shapes suffer horribly from being flat shaded. Getting the normals into Yafray would mean a huge leap in lighting quality - getting a cave level to look similar to the levels that ship with the game is almost impossible right now, since the flat shading means "sharp corners everywhere!".
