Custom Lighting Tutorial

Really Simple, So lets get started!
First thing first you'll need a model you want to edit and find it's mdf2
I'm modding the LE 5 so it's

natives\x64\sectionroot\character\weapon\wp2200\wp2200_mat.mdf2.10

   Drag the mdf2 into a hex editor, I use HxD but any will do.
Go all the way to the bottom here is where the lighting is controlled



I'll clean it up to make it easier to understand



There's a total of four columns
I'll color code them so you'll know what does what

Starting from the left, Intensity/brightness?, Red, Green, Blue
As for what each row does not sure but I do know 2
First two rows are basic colors for the model
while bottom is reflections.
___

For each columns there's 4 bytes heres what that does

00 00 00 00

First three are for fine tuning the light while the last byte is the core sorce that ranges from 00-FF
to turn off the light

00 00 80 3F

will do the trick.

All models have different sections of colors for different parts of the model so experiment and have fun!
Here were some of my results.
