[Obsolete as of TDM 2.08] Problems with simple ambient rendering

Didn't post this in "Things that could be improved" because I don't know if this is an universal problem or just something at my end, and I don't have another computer to test this out on. It has, however, been this way for as long as I've had Dark Mod.

When I've got ambient light set to simple, THIS sort of thing happens:

It's not mission specific either. The vast majority, if not all, decals are rendered in simple transparency instead of in additive or other intended way, and there's some lighting anomalies as well, as can be seen on the wench there. In some cases, engraved text on plaques won't show up in simple rendering, which takes it from mere aesthetic fugliness to an actual gameplay issue.

 

It's a shame, because not only does simple rendering provide a handy performance boost, I actually prefer the look of it where it works correctly. Any ideas about what to do about this?

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
