Creating level geometry in separate modeler

[Eagle]

Ok first let me apologize for asking so many questions, (laughs) But I want to use the md3 format to create level geometry like hanging lamps, fountains and towers. I have no problem getting the models into Sandbox but I am having issues with the .Cfg files. Could someone show me how to write a good .cfg file that will not let the model be shinny and can use the lights like the rest of the level geometry?

Thanks again for all your help~
Always~

http://sauerbraten.org/docs/models.html this link should be your best friend when it comes to making model cfgs.

md3spec MESH S

MESH specifies the name of the mesh this setting applies to. S is the specular intensity (not given or 0 gives the default of 100, good for metal/plastics and anything shiny, use lower values like 50 for wood etc, -1 means off entirely).

Edit: or you could just use the mdlspec command under common commands

mdlspec S

S is the specular intensity (not given or 0 gives the default of 100, good for metal/plastics and anything shiny, use lower values like 50 for wood etc, -1 means off entirely).

As far as lighting your model goes look at the command md3ambient?

You can also use glowmaps which could make your model give off light.

we also have mask images, I think the command to load them is md?skin <mesh> <texture> <mask>

a mask tells us 3 things about regions of the texture, and they're represented by it's colour channels, they're as follows

Red: specularity map
Green: Glow map: (it uses the colour of the texture, warning! it can look strange!)
Blue: Chrome map: sets the intensity of the reflected envmap (uses skybox is none are in range, or if none are forced)
