}However, if I drag and drop the file from the desktop directly onto the GZDoom icon, the lights are there.
ZDL is in my directory called F:\doom\gzdoom where my official GZDoom is. r10 is in F:\doom\gzdoomSVN. The same thing happened when placing the file in any directory (including the same one as GZdoomSVN) and loading it with ZDL. This happened both with lights.wad in my skins directory and in the gzdoomsvn directory loaded via the ini autoload section.
So, you'd think it's a ZDL problem because dragging and dropping doesn't show the problem, but I've done a bit more digging. If I add "+logfile f:\log.txt" to the command line in ZDL, lights.wad suddenly works again.
Checking up through the console, it told me:
adding f:/doom/gzdoomsvn/lights.wad (4 lumps)
despite the fact that there were no lights.
Because adding logfile to the command line seemed to stop the problem, I started a game, checked there were no lights glowing from the armor helmet in the first room of map01 and then typed "crashout" at the console. local.txt confirmed the command line and which files were loaded.

}Should still give the problem right? Wrong. With the above loaded in exactly the same manner, lights.wad works.
So, I chopped off the renderstyle stuff instead and left the states block intact. No lights when loaded with ZDL.
Progressively chopping out lines from the states block until I was left with this:

Strange huh?
