Light Textures and Falloff Images
Introduction
While The Dark Mod comes with a rich library of Light Shaders and Textures there are times when mappers may wish to customize the look of lighting further. Light Textures can be used for basic light painting tricks like projecting window-panes light on a floor to advanced uses like simulating the look of a baked light-map.
