This is a testing build for players wanting to help test the new lighting system. I added 3 new WIP stages making use of the new features outlined in the previous post.

Recommended to start with the old rooftop stage, and everything should look mostly the same:

Then try the Education Room map. This features a couple of lights plus a shadowed volumetric light from outside of window for a nice light shaft effect into the blackboard.

Up next is the Park stage with rays shinning through the canopy for an atmospheric scene at night.

Finally try out the Neon Club stage with the most amount of light sources for the futuristic, high-end look.

If everything works, feel free to continue playing this patch. It contains a few bugfixes that may be applicable. Otherwise, please report any graphic problems encountered, preferably with at least a screenshot too.
