Hey guys, how about some very simple smoke and light emitter items?
Players on console have managed to do some insane custom events with pumpkin lanterns for street lights and heli-crashes spawned underground for smoke (etc.). Based on the amount of youtube tutorials exploiting these crude work-arounds, actually adding a handful of simple permanent lights and smokes would really support xml modders.
Strategically placed colored lights and smoke would let admins transform the atmosphere of servers and make nights way more interesting. This could be implemented with just a handful of variants around smoke and light color/brightness, omni/directional lighting etc - they wouldnt even need textures?
