[QUESTION] Light DBC values in Northrend

[relaxok]

I noticed that when looking at the Northrend continent in a tool like LightMapper - most of the Lights for world lighting in the dbc have quite a small radius.  Most areas of the continent don't have a Light in the database that cover them.

Has anyone investigated what the client does for lighting in these situations?  Are there some default lighting parameters stored for zones?

There is for every map an enty at cord 0 0 0. This is used on all areas no other entry take effect. Its the first entry I create on a new map

Thanks, I'll take a look!   It seems strange that so much of the continent would be lit by 1 single light though.   Are we sure there are not more lights than that for Northrend?  Or that the falloff radius values aren't calculated differently there?   Probably 80% of Northrend has nothing in the light database covering it that I can see.

Specific areas have specific lights, else, that global light is calculated for it.
