BLM Lights - Help track lights builder to monitor the number of lights, saving max values during session

Since I started building configurations for tracks to be used with Ilja Jusupov's (x4fab) lights patch, I made use of AccExtHelper, the app he built that comes together with the lights patch.

With Ilja's permission I developed this app that, a part from giving real times info about the total lights, the visible lights and the ones in mirrors, also saves the max values of each series.

Blamer updated BLM Lights with a new update entry:

Fix for invalid Headers

ver. 1.2.1

• Fix for invalid sections, ignored by Lights Shader but that raise an error on Python parser.

Example:
[LIGHT_SERIES_0] is accepted
[_LIGHT_SERIES_0] is now ignored


Todo:
Allow more than one materials/meshes per section, like:
[LIGHT_SERIES_0]
MESHES=123
MESHES=456

Now they'd raise an error because of the dulicate Key.

Where parameter ACTIVATE ?

Sorry?

ACTIVE=0 ; disabled
but if is not present the app will create it, so no need for you to add it
