I think that at one point I considered fixing the orthographic errors, but I also noticed that the grammar was broken. Since I haven’t touched Quake IV in years, I just ignored them.

The yellow orb is called s_light.spr in pak0, and has no animations (unlike in Qtest). The s probably stands for sprite. It is one of the three sprite files used in the game, and (unsurprisingly) it’s not specifically mentioned anywhere in the manual. Romero may have an answer, but personally, I’d be very surprised if it ever received a practical name as opposed to a technical one.
