If you ever player singleplayer, you might remember the villages had torches+dynamic light on at night, and off at day.
As we got a good bunch of village maps in the mapcycle here in EU, and dynamic lighting is awesome, I managed to get cmp to somehow make the cRPG-night "night", and if it doesnt kill the mod, it might be in the next patch.
Start adding those things to your maps, if you want to enjoy some nice effects at night (and so players with bad screens can see stuff at night on your map :wink:).
(And if it for some reason won't survive the final cut, your map will still have some more detail with not burning torches)
The difference between "torch" and "torch_night" is, that "torch" is always on, "torch_night" will be a not lighted torch at day, and a "torch" at night, so you only have to add the torch_night to your scene. But the torch itself has no dynamic lighting, thats why you need to add the light_night, too, in some distance infront of the torch (look at village maps for examples)

What does 'light_night' show? Is it a circular spot of light or what?
-
The same as "light". (just only activated at night, ofc)
It is a "normal" dynamic light source, shines in every direction. (dynamic lighting, woo!) Just test "light", you will see.

Good to know man. I try to keep specular objects to a minimum since everyone is always up at arms about performance, but a few of them always make things look a lot better.
