i know this probably isnt what ur looking for, seeing u've probably checked the documentation urself, but while i was reading up on lighting, i found this:
Glow (or HDR)
Glow will bloom bright light sources that you specifically tag under the lighting drop down box in the edit flags. The HDR effect is off by default. All parameters are adjustable from the console with the prefix “HDR.” Below is a description of all the parameters along with their default values:
Effect(“HDR”)
{
Enable(0) // whether or not the hdr effect should be enabled
DownSizeFactor(0.25) // what fraction of the back buffer to use when bloom (smaller means
// better framerate – don’t go below 0.25)
NumBloomPasses(5) // the number of blur passes higher numbers means bigger blooms and
// is more costly
MaxTotalWeight(1.2) // the amount to over-brighten the glow areas
GlowThreshold(0.5) // value at which a pixel is considered to be blooming lower values
// mean more pixels will be blooming
GlowFactor(1.0) // a factor used to dim the overall appearance of the bloom (probably
// better to use less bloom passes or less total weight)
}
i hope this may help in some way.
