Summary	0000616: Give ACS control over fake Contrast effect to fake some kind of directional lighting
Description	I was watching a video of someone's automated environment stuff, and have been thinking about the problems caused by Fake Contrast in modern maps, and something clicked to me: what if we could control the Fake Contrast of a sector or lines through ACS? This may be a pipe-dream, but what I'm asking for is ACS functions which allow the mapper to use the Fake Contrast code to say things like "brighten West facing walls and darken East facing walls", thus building a neat little atmospheric effect of angular light.
