Ah! You've given me an idea!
My initial suggestion was to put a light_source inside the 3001.dat, but I
can see why that might not give the best result. What if we made each of
the three stud4.dat's into light_objects (or some similar process), rather
than the point-light_source thingee I suggested? I never owned the
old-style lighting bricks, so I don't know if this would be a good way to
represent them, but now you've got me interested in the nuts and bolts of it...
