It blew my mind that Nightdive actually went out of their way to ruin.. I mean change the lighting in Quake maps. It's not the new engine fault, it has nothing to do with it. You can run .pak files from enhanced port in any modern source port and it will still look exactly like enhanced port, completely different from original.
The actually manually / semi-automatically did this for each single original map, they also added .lit files for colored lighting on top of changed lighting/fog/whatever baked in .bsp files.
Pic related: enhanced, enhanced with colored lighting .lit files deleted, original. All running in Ironwail.
Seriously, the fuck is Nightdive's problem?
