Function/global

Type

(debug_lights [boolean])

Shows orange and white spheres with the radius of each dynamic light. White seems to show when a light is not yet been activated, such as the Warthog's brake lights until their first use. Lens flare only lights are not shown since their radius is 0.

Global
(rasterizer_environment_diffuse_lights [boolean])

Toggles the rendering of dynamic light illumination on the BSP.
