Let's look at the 3D objects stored in a gr2 file.
Verts, normals, textures, etc ALWAYS have the same count.
Faces are totally separate from that.

So here's the magic and simplicity.
We can match the verts and such by just copying existing verts or whatever and pasting so each has the same count.

500 texture points? Make sure verts is 500 etc.

The Faces will ONLY USE what they call!
Thus no loading of the extra duplicate information!
So I can have 500 verts and textures, etc BUT the faces say only render 100!

Don't believe me?
Export a mesh from a GR2, open it in any 3D program then save it.
If your program optimizes an obj file? Compare them in notepad or any other text reader.
