    Hi, I'd like to know if there's a way to set the ilumination to work a bit more like classic, or to set underground areas to be not completely black (just dim) :y

    There's this "dynamic light" somewhere at the each mode config I believe. TDM uses that for saving CPU.

    Well, I tried setting no_shadowing = 1 and it looks like this. It's pretty much what classic looked like, but I'd like to know if you can apply a gradient to it (so it gets darker the deeper you go).

    There's no config setting for it, but it'd be pretty easy to just render a gradient or blended rectangle over the screen in a Rules onRender hook based on the camera y position. There's some functions for rendering stretched images around with a multiply colour.

    GUI::DrawIconDirect(string textureFilename, Vec2f pos, Vec2f framePos, Vec2f frameDimension, f32 scale, int team_num, SColor color)
    GUI::DrawIcon( string textureFilename, int iconFrame, Vec2f frameDimension, Vec2f pos, f32 scaleX, f32 scaleY, SColor color )
    GUI::DrawRectangle(Vec2f upperleft, Vec2f lowerright, SColor color)

    are probably what you want - i'm afraid it's not quite as easy as it "should" be if you want the gradient but could be worse. If you just want the rectangle over the screen then its a piece of cake.
