I suppose you don't use diffuse colour and textures in the ways Joe and 
Jose described. In the current release trigrids and triangles modulate 
textures and colours when lit.

By "doing your own lighting" I mean bypassing Quesa/OpenGL lights 
altogether and colouring vertices manually. This can be done as a 
preprocessing step to simulate static low-resolution lightmaps with 
occlusion/self-shadowing.
