Lighting settings.

Hi everyone!

I decided to open a lighting-setting thread, that mappers can use as reference.
I build a small testing map and made some different light settings.

Tipp: Add a few lights: Streetlights, bulbs, windows. Don't forget to put in some env_sprites too, for the nice touch. Use different colors not always the same.

Lovly Guide, thank you!
