The first line represents what version the lighting file is. This can be changed to {0000} and {0001} and have different effects. Might have to do with how the lighting file is parsed. More testing is needed. | The first line represents what version the lighting file is. This can be changed to {0000} and {0001} and have different effects.

This is the basic settings for the main light source above the player. Uses RGBa settings {u800}-{u802} to determine color. {u803} while apparently affects alpha levels doesn't seems to do anything (Can be safe to say that this setting is completely useless) and the {f000} property determines the cut off angle of the light source. It seems as though all light files have the exact same angles for their cut off properties at 45 degrees. This however makes sense since they can just simply raise or lower the light source to increase or decrease the radius of light around the player. A great example of how raising the light source rather than making the cut off angle wider is effective is shown by how the developers made <code>jyoou_light_lv4_5.ini</code> to be raised 1500 units above the player for a spotlight effect and <code>jyoou_light_lv0.ini</code> is raised 5000 units above the player for a bright effect. | This is the basic settings for the main light source above the player.
