| NO_LIGHT_SUPPORT | Object doesn't use any of the light systems. Should be changed to add a light source to the object. |
|---|---|
| COMPLEX_LIGHT | Light made with the lighting datums, applying a matrix. |
| OVERLAY_LIGHT | Light made by masking the lighting darkness plane. |

| LIGHT_ATTACHED | Is our overlay light source attached to another movable (its loc), meaning that the lighting component should go one level deeper. |
| AREA_LIGHTING_NONE | Area is permanently black, cannot be lit ever. This shouldn't really be used, but is technically supported. |
| AREA_LIGHTING_DYNAMIC | Area is lit by lighting_object and lighting_sources |

| LIGHTING_INTERVAL | frequency, in 1/10ths of a second, of the lighting process |
| LIGHTING_HEIGHT | height off the ground of light sources on the pseudo-z-axis, you should probably leave this alone |
| LIGHTING_ROUND_VALUE | Value used to round lumcounts, values smaller than 1/129 don't matter (if they do, thanks sinking points), greater values will make lighting less precise, but in turn increase performance, VERY SLIGHTLY. |
| LIGHTING_ICON | icon used for lighting shading effects |
| LIGHTING_SOFT_THRESHOLD | If the max of the lighting lumcounts of each spectrum drops below this, disable luminosity on the lighting objects. Set to zero to disable soft lighting. Luminosity changes then work if it's lit at all. |
| LIGHT_RANGE_FIRE | How many tiles standard fires glow. |
| LIGHTING_PLANE_ALPHA_MOSTLY_INVISIBLE | For lighting alpha, small amounts lead to big changes. even at 128 its hard to figure out what is dark and what is light, at 64 you almost can't even tell. |
| LIGHTING_TILE_IS_DARK | The amount of lumcount on a tile for it to be considered dark (used to determine reading and nyctophobia) |
| EMISSIVE_BLOCK_GENERIC | Uses vis_overlays to leverage caching so that very few new items need to be made for the overlay. For anything that doesn't change outline or opaque area much or at all. |
| EMISSIVE_BLOCK_UNIQUE | Uses a dedicated render_target object to copy the entire appearance in real time to the blocking layer. For things that can change in appearance a lot from the base state, like humans. |
| EMISSIVE_COLOR | The color matrix applied to all emissive overlays. Should be solely dependent on alpha and not have RGB overlap with EM_BLOCK_COLOR. |
| EM_BLOCK_COLOR | The color matrix applied to all emissive blockers. Should be solely dependent on alpha and not have RGB overlap with EMISSIVE_COLOR. |
| EMISSIVE_APPEARANCE_FLAGS | A set of appearance flags applied to all emissive and emissive blocker overlays. |
| EM_MASK_MATRIX | The color matrix used to mask out emissive blockers on the emissive plane. Alpha should default to zero, be solely dependent on the RGB value of EMISSIVE_COLOR, and be independant of the RGB value of EM_BLOCK_COLOR. |
| PARSE_LIGHT_COLOR | Parse the hexadecimal color into lumcounts of each perspective. |
| LIGHTING_DEFAULT_FALLOFF_CURVE | The default falloff curve for all atoms. It's a magic number you should adjust until it looks good. |
| LIGHTS_RANDOMLY_BROKEN | Include this to have lights randomly break on initialize. |
| LIGHT_EMERGENCY_POWER_USE | How much power emergency lights will consume per tick |
| BROKEN_SPARKS_MIN | Min time for a spark to happen in a broken light |
| BROKEN_SPARKS_MAX | Max time for a spark to happen in a broken light |
