The gel map in the light tag, what purpose does it serve exactly?

i had to do some digging around, because i didn't know either.
apparently it's pretty much a cubemap, but can be edited for light, for the likes of the beam,
w/hog lights etc.

thanks for bringing that up now i understand a bit about it too, it was something i never thought
about looking at.

some halo3 cubemaps and a few reflection maps were in the same folder incase you want to experiment with them.

Thanks for the help, I've been looking into messing with them, just wasn't able to find the proper webpage.
