Can you make l3p follow the references to light.dat in subfiles?  For instance,
if I have a file torch.dat (with light.dat included) used a dozen times in the
file castle.mpd, have it include all twelve lights in their proper locations.

You'll be happy to know, that I fixed that problem just three weeks ago.


Great!

Also, making a camera.dat shorcut would be good too.  I've got a shortcut file
that I use with a perl script to the same effect, but it very cumbersome.

How would you want it to work ?
Just to specify the location of the camera ?

(Since the above post -cla has been added to function as a look_at.dat)

After reading your post, I use the 2nd approach (the view pyramid) to  specify
the location and orientation of the camera.  Here's the file I use (the
cylinder is just a placeholder):

0 POV-Ray Camera Shortcut
0 Name: Camera1.dat
0 L3P IFPOV
0 // camera-subst
0 cylinder { <0,0,20>, <0,0,5>, 4 }
