Probably some of the porthole faces are using the same texture as the wooden decks. The issue should be easily fixable by switching all the faces to use the main texture/material.

I have looked into this while working on ship's smoothing groups. For portholese to look illuminated, the central part of them should be given a "luminous" material. Unfortunately, the 3D portholes currently in place have only the external ring modelled, but not the central glass. That's something we can add, but there are hundreds of portholes: even if we illuminate only a fraction of them, putting all those small polygons is their right place is going to take some time.
Talking about the "special light texture", I didn't check how other modders (I think Anvart dealt with ship lights) have set it, but I think we can use the city lights controller to get porthole lights to be switched only after down.

I don't think so. Porthole "lights" could be stored in a library file and linked to the model through eqp file. By doing this, we should be able to switch them off by date, the same way that we change ship's paint scheme
