    This is the light cast direction. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, and roll is the rotation around the X axis.

  • Ambient Angle ( Y Z X ) (ambientangles) <Angle>

  • Color (color) <Color255>
    This is the color of the global light.

  • Light Scale (lightscale) <Float>
    This controls the overall intensity of the light.

  • Ambient Color (ambientcolor1) <Color255>
    This is the ambient color of the world.

  • Ambient Scale (ambientscale1) <Float>
    This controls how much ambient there is.

  • Shadow Color (ambientcolor2) <Color255>
    This is the shadow color of the world.

  • Shadow Scale (ambientscale2) <Float>
    This controls how much shadow on entities there are.

    This is the shadow color for downward facing surfaces.

  • Shadow Ground Scale (groundscale) <Float>
    This controls how much shadow on the ground there is.

  • Specular Angle ( Y Z X ) (specularangles) <Angle>

  • Specular Power (specularpower) <Float>

    This is the color of the specular.

  • FOV (fov) <Float>

    Controls how dark the fog of war is, 0 is black, larger values are lighter
