Color correction (entity)

Template:Base point It loads a color correction lookup table (.raw) and controls its strength. Correction is applied in a sphere surrounding the entity, with a configurable amount of falloff. By default the effect fades in gradually and only reaches peak intensity at the entity's exact location.

In Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, this entity will behave like color_correction in previous Source-based games if there is at least one fog_volume brush entity textured with the fogvolume material. The flags "Master" and "Simulate client-side" must be checked in the main color_correction entity. There can only be one master color_correction. It is recommended that the other color_correction entities be triggered with fog_volume with an override of the master. The override is done by setting the fog_volume entity property called ColorCorrection Name to a color_correction targetname of your choice.

Bug:In Team Fortress 2, color_correction causes control point HUD icons to display improperly. (example).  [todo tested in ?]
