What I meant is taht the effects he asked for can't be created without a
card capable of hardware acceleration. 
You don't get coloured light, fog/mist reflective surfaces or such in a
softeware mode, Adn the render engine is actually different.

If you study the Q2 archive, you'll find teh glide.dll/software.dll(or
something) files. in theese the actual render engiunes are. So yes, they
differ in the software/hardware modes.
