I would like to make a preset for the Ambient Light color.

That or change the settings. I have tried using a Message with the value I want, but it doesn't work. Maybe I don't have it formatted correctly.

I have also tried changing the colors in the Inspector, to no avail.

the lighting contribution from a particular lighting component is the product of the lighting value for that component, and the object's material value.

therefore you must have the gl.light @ambient value set to something other than the default of black.

for most gl objects, you simply set the @mat_ambient attribute, but for gl.model it's slightly more complicated due to the fact that the object is pulling values from it's model-material file.

you first must set the @material_mode to 2 or 3.

to set the material components you must use the "sendmaterial" message, followed by the index of the material you want to set (there may be more than 1 material in a model file), followed by the component name and values.
