Colored Lights?

From old threads I know that lights can be Green, Red or White on ships.
Can the color of Star Shells be changed?:hmm:

Maybe red starshells, so it doesn't hurt you nightvision.

LOL

I think maybe the idea is that in convoys the escorts would use starshells
and the other colors would simulate snowflake and the like.

Rocket flares from the merchies signalling distress from a torpedo hit.

i had a look for it last night but couldnt find it. will keep an eye out though

I'm on the trail now and have a good hint on how to change the colors.
The trail starts in shells.sim.
Following ID's through particals.dat and from there to materials.dat!
In particals.dat there is both a flares and star shells sections, which
point to the same section in materials.dat.
In materials.dat it starts with flare_omni, @flare_reflection, and @flare_system.
Following MORE IDs, it seems there is an area that MAY hold the color info. :hmm:
