<li> Decals in GoldSrc (Decals.wad, indexalpha [[SPR|sprites]], just baking into face texture)
<li> Detail Textures
<li> [[AllocBlock]] optimization (max textures; dictated by lightmaps, which are always 16 texels per luxel, regardless of texture scale
<li> "Chrome" textures
<li> [[Func_wall (GoldSrc)|func_wall]] (actually required for certain texture rendermodes)
</ol>}}
{{note|Some limitations to keep in mind:
* While textures do ''not'' need to be powers of two, they usually must be multiples of 16.
** MDL textures can be multiples of 8, but dimensions that aren't multiples of 16 can sometimes be buggy. 8x8 textures can be used for single-color model "materials", but it's otherwise better to stick to multiples of 16.
* Textures can be a maximum resolution of 512x512 in the OpenGL renderer.
** The software renderer is limited to 256x256, but it is buggy and can usually be disregarded.
** {{svencoop|4.1}} can use textures up to 1024x1024. AllocBlock has been raised from 64 to 512 to compensate.
