Discussion light from POTC

[Myth]

Good evening. Did anyone ever try to turn the light of the game into the one used in "Pirates of the Caribbean"? I've thought about it many times. Below you can see two trial screenshots. Moved St. John's to Pirates of the Caribbean. Is there any trick to get the result you want?

You mean the lighting of the location models?
I know that differs a bit with the later games, so we had to redo them for everything we ported.
This is how:
Guide - Generating Location Lighting Files (.COL)

Maybe that works in the newer games too?

I meant something a little different. I've been wanting to move the lighting out of POTC to COAS.

That's the same thing in reverse; right?

If that 'locLighter' works in CoAS too, you can make new lighting files.
That's the only way that I could see working...

The problem is, I can't recreate the coverage of "Pirates of the Caribbean." Locations don't look like the screenshot.

All I know is that those .COL files control how dark/bright the location is.
I don't know any way of getting it to look right in another game; other than creating new ones manually with that locLighter tool.

Perhaps @ChezJfrey knows more details?
