Is there any way to set the ambient value of a texture above 1 for radiosity
lighting?

Thanks in advance...

Yes, just do it:

texture
{
   .....
   .....
}
finish
{
   ambient 5
}

Why not? Or did I misunderstand you completely?

Oops, just realized, we're talking Moray here.
And I realized that you can't. :-(

Yup. You just have to do it by hand in a text editor. 
Anytime you want to make a texture change that you don't want 
subsequent exports mucking with, you make the change in the 
texture INC file, then find the line above that texture which 
says $MRY$ and change it to read $MRX$. Whatever the texture
is like when you alter it will just stay that way every time
you re-export. (Also handy for incorporating MegaPOV texture
features into a Moray scene.)

I think you can do this in "pure" Moray *g* ..
In MaterialEditor ... got to the finish-branch, select him with right, and
add an ambient-Light-color ... On Colors you can (afaik) set the Range of
the sliders (the buttons below the color-preview-field) ...
You can set the range of the sliders in a very wide range (haven't tested
the limits, yet) ...

Do you know what I mean ???
I don't know exatly, if you can do this with the ambient color (why not???)
but with simple pigment-colors you can go so ...

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Well, I just tried it, and it doesn't work :(

Thanks for trying :)
