DB/LightIntBand

Controls the various values that are related to floats in .LIT files which was believed just to be the sky positions. There is 18 rows corresponding to every ID so take the ID*18 to get the proper start ID to look at it and the next 17 rows after it go along with it as well

To get the right ID out from Light.dbc (skyParam, not the light ID itself!) you need to calculate it the following way: idLightIntBand = lightEntry.skyParam * 18 - 17

The reason is that DBCs always start with entry 1 and in computer fields you usually have 0 as primary index.

The 18 rows should then correspond to the below as it was in the .lit files

Number 	Description 
0 		Global diffuse light 
1 		Global ambient light 
2 		Sky color 0 (top) 
3 		Sky color 1 (middle) 
4 		Sky color 2 (middle to horizon) 
5 		Sky color 3 (above horizon) 
6 		Sky color 4 (horizon) 
7 		Fog color / background mountains color. Affects color of weather effects as well.
8 	 	Unknown/unused in 3.3.5 ? This value was ported to ShadowOpacity in the new format
9 		Sun color + sun halo color, specular lighting, sun rays
10 		Sun larger halo color  //  cloud color a1 (base)
11 	 	? // cloud color B (edge)
12 		Cloud color  // cloud color a2 (secondary base)
13 	 	Unknown/unused in 3.3.5 ? This value was ported to Cloud Layer 2 Ambient Color in the new format
14 	 	Ocean color [light] // shallow ocean water
15 		Ocean color [dark]  // deep ocean water
16 		River color [light] // shallow river water
17 	 	River color [dark]  // deep river water

Official definitions from Blizzard (found in client 2.5 EnumeratedString table): Note that id 13 seems to have been removed and ocean (14) was moved to 13.
