A possible .ini bug in Omicron-94 a.k.a. hi20

As you can see, there are 3 stars in the system. All 3 of them have coronas, colour etc, but only the one located at (0,0,0) is a light source, as demonstrated by this picture:

The ship is in orbit around Planet Mykonos, in Sector 7C. There is a star to the right of the ship, but it is not emitting any light, as is demonstrated by the dark ship.

I've analysed the 'hi20.ini' file under /DATA/UNIVERS/SYSTEMS/hi20, and have come to the following conclusions:

There are 3 entries for [Object], with 'star' attributes and 'sun' archetypes.

Quote:[Object]
nickname = HI20_Sun1
ids_name = 483617
pos = 34000, 10000, -57000
ambient_color = 255, 255, 255
archetype = sun_2000
star = med_white_sun
atmosphere_range = 10000
ids_info = 483618
ring = Zone_Hi20_sun1_ring, solar\rings\Protoplanet.ini

[Object]
nickname = HI20_Sun2
ids_name = 483619
pos = 0, 0, 0
ambient_color = 255, 255, 255
archetype = sun_2000
star = edge_sun
atmosphere_range = 13000
ids_info = 483620

[Object]
nickname = HI20_Sun3
ids_name = 483621
pos = 10000, -4000, 38000
ambient_color = 255, 255, 255
archetype = sun_2000
star = sm_white_sun
atmosphere_range = 10000
ids_info = 483622

However, there is only 1 entry for [LightSource]

Quote:[LightSource]
nickname = HI20_system_light
pos = 0, 0, 0
color = 50, 180, 120
range = 100000
type = DIRECTIONAL
atten_curve = DYNAMIC_DIRECTION

I think the remedy would be adding 2 more [LightSource] entries to the .ini file.

Quote:[LightSource]
nickname = HI20_system_light_2
pos = 34000, 10000, -57000
color = 255,255,255
range = 100000
type = DIRECTIONAL
atten_curve = DYNAMIC_DIRECTION

[LightSource]
nickname = HI20_system_light_3
pos = 10000, -4000, 38000
color = 255,255,255
range = 100000
type = DIRECTIONAL
atten_curve = DYNAMIC_DIRECTION

However, I think that 3 stars will cause too much light to fall upon surfaces, which might even lead to white cut-off on certain surfaces, when combined with the ENBSeries plugin. Since, obviously, you're the devs, and know more about such stuff, I'm sure you'll know a suitable range of luminosities for each star for a 3-star system.

Hope this gets fixed in 4.86.
