The '''glowpoints.tbl''' defines glowpoint lights for ships under the new deferred lighting renderer.

This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-gpo.tbm

[[Tables|List of Tables]]

=General Format=
* glowpoints.tbl currently has only one section: '''<nowiki>#</nowiki>Glowpoint overrides'''.
** Optional entries, if omitted, leave it as it was defined in the model (if applicable) or use the specified default value.
** The end of the section is indicated with '''<nowiki>#</nowiki>End'''.

=Glowpoint Override Entry=

==$Name:==
*Specifies the name of the glowpoint override (to be referenced in the '''[[Ships.tbl#.24Glowpoint_overrides:|$Glowpoint overrides:]]''' entry of a ship).
*Syntax: '''''String'''''

==+nocreate==
* (optional) In [[Modular Tables]], the name can be followed by the line '''+nocreate''' to prevent the game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in glowpoints.tbl or an earlier-parsed *-gpo.tbm file) by the time this *-gpo.tbm is read.
**'''Important note:''' At present, if an existing preset is overwritten, everything will be reset to default values and must be specified again.

==$On:==
* (optional) Ignored if standard blinking is used.
*Syntax: '''''Boolean'''''

==$Displacement time:==
* (optional) Displacement time for blinking (e.g. for Orion runway lights).
*Syntax: '''''Integer'''''

==$On time:==
* (optional) Amount of time the glowpoint stays on.
*Syntax: '''''Integer'''''

==$Off time:==
* (optional) Amount of time the glowpoint stays off.
*Syntax: '''''Integer'''''

==$Texture:==
* (optional) Specifies the name of the texture to use, or "none" for glowpoints that should only be light sources.
*Syntax: '''''String'''''

==$Type:==
* (optional) Defines what type of glowpoint this is (generally always 0).
*Syntax: '''''Integer'''''

==$Pulse type:==
* (optional) Specifies an interpolation of the glowpoint brightness with the given interpolation function.
*Syntax: one of '''''Sine''''', '''''Cosine''''', '''''Triangle''''', or '''''ShiftedTriangle'''''

==$Pulse period:==
* (optional) The period of the selected interpolation function. The lower the value the faster the pulsing.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''
*Default Value: Two times the “On time” from the model or table.

==$Pulse amplitude:==
* (optional) Amplitude of the pulse function (unused with '''''ShiftedTriangle''''').
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''
*Default Value: 0.5

==$Pulse bias:==
* (optional) This is added to the function so one can control the minimum and maximum value (unused with '''''ShiftedTriangle''''').
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''
*Default Value: 0.5

==$Pulse exponent:==
* (optional) This raises the function to the given power to modify the look of the function (unused with '''''ShiftedTriangle''''').
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''
*Default Value: 1.0

==+light==
* (optional) Makes this glowpoint emit light. Further defined via additional sub-entries:

===$Light radius multiplier:===
* (optional) Multiplied by the radius of the glowpoint to get the radius of the light.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''
*Default Value: 15.0

===$Light color:===
* Specifies the RGB values for the light.
*Syntax: '''''Int''''', '''''Int''''', '''''Int''''' (0 - 255)

===$Light mix color:===
* (optional) Requires '''$Pulse type:'''. Instead of dimming the light by the glowpoint intensity, linearly interpolates between '''$Light color:''' and '''$Light mix color:''' (cross-fade).
*Syntax: '''''Int''''', '''''Int''''', '''''Int''''' (0 - 255)
*Default Value: 0, 0, 0

===+lightcone===
* (optional) Makes this light a cone. Further defined via additional sub-entries:

====$Cone angle:====
* (optional) Defines how wide this lightcone is.
*Syntax: '''''Float''''' (0 - 180)
*Default Value: 90.0

====$Cone direction:====
* The direction the cone points in, in submodel space.
*Syntax: ('''''Float''''', '''''Float''''', '''''Float''''')

====+dualcone====
* (optional) Allows the light cone to shine in both the direction specified ''and'' in the opposite direction.

====+rotating====
* (optional) Makes this light cone rotate. Further defined via additional sub-entries:

=====$Rotation axis:=====
* The axis of rotation, in submodel space.
*Syntax: ('''''Float''''', '''''Float''''', '''''Float''''')

=====$Rotation speed:=====
* Speed of rotation, specified as the number of rotations per minute.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''
