"black" filt

    I found a way to make filt with no wavelength, by setting the ctype to the maximum value.

    Unfortunately, it's still blue, and acts the same as normal blue filt.

    Yes, black FILT has mostly been prevented from doing anything strange, but there are still a few places (like the wavelength drawing in the HUD) that don't yet check that there is at least one valid wavelength present.

     

    However, try FILT with black deco. (Photons cannot be decorated though)

    You can still get BRAY with 'no color' with some filt logic.

    It's just weird and inconsistant that filt with 0 wavelength is blue.

    Makes programming kinda hard too because two compliment numbers XORed together yields nullness.

    FILT with no valid wavelengths set in ctype has its wavelengths and colour determined by temperature.

    And that is the problem. Instead of filt with a wavelength of 0 having its color controlled by temp, it would make more sense to use wavelength "-0" (or the maximum value)
