(...) They should probably be less bright, you can multiply the whole RGB triple by a constant less than 1: ... 0.4 * <r, g, b> It would also help changing the 'fade_distance' and 'fade_power' to make them not shine so far. Or you could change them (...) (17 years ago, 25-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
