I made a lantern model a little while ago for the TCJ start map, and since then I've cleaned it up a bit and added some variants. I'd like to start cooking up some more decorative lighting models for Quake.
There are 3 base models - blue, orange and red, using Quake's built-in palette brights to illuminate themselves. However there's also an empty shell version included. This one you can insert a brush inside and use minlight and minlight_color together to make practically any colour lantern you want!
Blender source files, example WAD and map (run it in Copper) included.
