Right. I saw that in the docs. So I can't do that to (say) switch from 
normal lighting to radiosity, because all my lightbulbs disappear. 
Instead, I apparently have to edit every texture used to remove any 
ambient from them individually? OK, that's what I thought. I thought 
maybe there was something I could put in a texture perhaps that would 
say "Make this look ambient even tho ambient_light=0". A kind of 
absolute ambient value or some such.
