Play light_anim values outside cockpit view

[BC46]

w0dk4 once came up with the following patch for FL.exe to allow the light_anim entries of guns to play:

0x12D132, 5F 5E -> EB 6D
0x12D052, 0F 84 49 01 00 00 -> 90 90 90 90 90 90
0x12D0F6, 5B -> 53
0x12D0F9, 03 -> 02
0x12D100, CB -> CA

It works. However, there is an issue with this, namely that it forces the flash particles to play when the player is in first person mode. Seeing all these flash particles play so close to your view can be very annoying. Moreover, with w0dk4's patch the light_anim entries only play for guns fired by the player. So whenever an NPC fires their guns, it won't show any lights. I think these issues can be resolved using some hooks.

I forgot to mention the following: I don't know whether the light_anims are true DirectX lights, or just vertex colorings. If they are true lights, then this feature should not be implemented because of D3D8's cap of 8 lights being on simultaneously. Scratch that. If vanilla FL inevitably plays the light animations in cockpit mode, then it shouldn't hurt to play them outside cockpit view as well. That means however the light animations should be limited to the player.

Some notes:

old code:
if (!IsPlayerInCockpitView() || !weaponFiredByPlayer)
	PlayFlashParticle();
else
	PlayLightAnim();

w0dk4's code:
if (!weaponFiredByPlayer)
	PlayFlashParticle();
else {
	PlayLightAnim();
	PlayFlashParticle();
}

	
new code:
if (!IsPlayerInCockpitView() || !weaponFiredByPlayer)
	PlayFlashParticle();

if (weaponFiredByPlayer)
	PlayLightAnim();
else if ( cliLauncher->launcher->munitionArch->constEffect (0x58) pass to 0x40F080, check 0x1C and 0x20 of return value to see if it has a lgt_effect). If the launcher has a light source, then it will already emit light, and thus a flash may not be necessary. Or is it?
	
push ebx // CliLauncher&
push ebp // LauncherFx&
xor ecx, ecx
cmp eax, [edx+0x04] // overwritten instruction
sete cl // isWeaponFiredByPlayer
lea edx, esi, [esp+0x18 + 0x8] // Vector& (barrelpos)

Maybe also check if a lgt_effect is already present?
Grab the munition arch of the launcher and get the effect. See 0053F4CF

To play the flash particle, only ebx and ebp are needed (I think).
