--  file:    ..

--  brief:   Lua metal spots for *A mods. Credits to Niobium for metal finder. Place a .lmf file in map archive to enable support.

--

--  usage: 

-- Step 1. Create a [mapname].lmf file in [mapname].sd7/maps/. The first line should be a relative path inside the spring directory in which to search for metal textures in. 

-- The last three lines indicate rgb tint in the range of 0.0 to 1.0, and must be present.  

-- Example .lmf file:

--

-- line 1: ./maps/textures/

-- line 2: 1.0

-- line 3: 1.0

-- line 4: 1.0

--

-- Step 2. Create a /textures/ folder in the archive and place metal spot textures there. In the example above they should be named "metal_high.png", "metal_medhigh.png", "metal_med.png", "metal_low.png".
