I had an idea, I haven't tried it yet though. Just running this by to see if anyone has tried or has heard of someone trying this before.
In Doom, there are decorative light source objects, such as floor lamps, torches, candles, etc. When you look at these objects in Dehacked, these are flagged to be 'always bright,' which means no matter what the darkness level is in a sector, the entire object will be unaffected by the darkness in it and show in it's full color.
Unfortunately, this also includes parts of the object that should be effected by darkness. The stick that holds up the torch, or the metal parts of a lamp, or the barrel that contains the flame.
Is it possible to take a firestick, and create two seperate thing objects, the unlit torch, and then a seperate flame without the stick, and then stack the two thing objects on top of one another? Will that work?
