[won'T do]Line Special to disable dynamic lighting on it.

How about a special that disables dynamic lights into illuminating a certain wall? This can help mappers prevent their dynamic lights from clipping into other rooms.

I don't think adding this would be a good idea. Don't forget that dynamic lights move, so if a plasma shot whistled past any wall with this special - the floor/ceiling would be lit but the wall would not (yuck).

Then how about the line special applies to certain thingtypes? Like in decorate there would be a NOILUM flag that when activated, the thing wont illuminate flagged lines.

Sorry, but that's not a good idea. The problems this would create are greater than the benefits.
