Replace these:

Found inside Zandronum.pk3. Create your own versions with the same lump names and put them in your PK3 (in a folder named "glstuff") and they should overwrite the default ones.

I am not sure if i am correct about this or not, so don't trust what i say.

In the Zandronum.pk3 there is a directory called 'glstuff'. In there are some images used for..... gl stuff, like mirrors and dynamic lights. 3 of these images are named gllight, glpart and glpart2. As you can see, the highlights are all circular. Edit the images so they are square.

Do this all in a separate .pk3. Do not rewrite Zandronum.pk3.

Edit:

Damn you Aenima!

Edit2:

On what Aenima said, Only replace gllight, glpart and glpart2. The picture named mirror is not for dynamic lights.

Or you could place the light differently, the light behaves like a light would naturally, and if you want to have a square, you need to place it longer back from he entrance, try and see what works best.

EDIT: never mind, did some testing myself and found out that in doom, light travel through walls for some reason :\
