The 1.12 highlight is not a fixed 64/255 lift. SetHighlight samples the
scene's committed ambient (read at 0x614576-0x6145bd), and every batch
adds it to its colour before the final clamp, lit or unlit.
0xff404040 is only the fallback before a map's light loads. The
highlight now follows the time of day, zone and weather: roughly
(29, 60, 84)/255 at night to (104, 130, 154)/255 at noon, where it was
always (64, 64, 64)/255.
Unlit M2 batches in blend modes 0 to 4 now draw
texel × clamp(tint·M2Color + highlight), the unlit program's c28 + c29.
They took no highlight before. The reference holds the ambient sampled
when a highlight begins; benilla samples it live, a marked deviation.
