(...) Thanks, Jaco. What I meant is "what is a gooved tile?" When I look them up, they look like regular tiles. Where there LGEO grooved tiles in 1999? (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi all, I updated the radiosity files today. The sysem is somewhat simpler: the files are called radio_0.inc (no radiosity), radio_1.inc (simple radiosity), radio_2.inc (medium quality) and radio_3.inc (high quality).
