Can dynamic lights be generated with lightmaps?

[Anonymous]

was it possible to create dynamic lights before pixel and vertex shading?

There are dynamic light map techniques. I've never implemented them so I can't give anymore details.

Start a game of Quake 2 and bring up the default blaster weapon. Stand next to a wall and shoot alongside it. That's a dynamic lightmap lightsource.

So yes, it is possible. Most games that use lightmaps have precomputed maps for stationary lights, so they can't be moved. They can blink on or off though.
