So far as I can decipher so far, the ACT files seem to have a C++ executable wrapper with the line numbers stripped out, using MS Visual C++ 7.0. Find out what that wrapper hides and you'll know what ACT files are at their heart. Could be they're simple DLL files or maybe some sort of scripting language.
I've been experimenting with the settings for the Shadows test mod and it seems every experiment I've tried had yielded unremarkable results. Still no shadows just beneat the waves.
I suppose I need to Google for information on exactly how translation and rotation work with light sources in DirectX 9.
If I still canoot get some worthy results, it would seem that editing other files may be called for.
