| <note> TR engines always used static room lights only for processing lighting on entities (such as Lara, enemies, doors, and others). This is called //external lighting//. For room meshes, they used so-called internal, or //pre-baked// lighting, which is done on level building stage: lights are calculated and applied to room faces via vertex colours. There is no way to change room lighting when the level is compiled — meaning, any changes in light positions, intensities and colour won’t affect room faces. </note> | <note> TR engines always used static room lights only for processing lighting on entities (such as Lara, enemies, doors, and others).

| As it was mentioned before, TR5 room structure was almost completely changed, when compared to previous versions. For example, TR5 completely throws out a concept of [[trs:room_geometry#tr_room_data|[tr_room_data]]] structure, shuffles numerous values and structures in almost chaotic manner, and introduces a bunch of completely new parameters (mostly to deal with //layers//). Also, there is vast amount of //fillers// and //separators//, which contain no specific data. | As it was mentioned before, TR5 room structure was almost completely changed, when compared to previous versions.

| | |
| | <note> The one possible reason for such ridiculous structure change is an attempt to //crypt file format//, so it won’t be accessed by unofficial level editing tools, which received major development by that time. Another possible reason is whole TR5 development process was rushed, as the team developed //Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness// at the very same time. </note> |
