Tribes2 lights vs Torque lights ?

I played and looked how Tribes2 handles light on the player .
Compared to Torque so does the light & shadows changing on the player when you step from outside to inside and works farly well .
It even looks like the player light up from the interiror light maps.
So my base question is how much got ripped away from this part of the engine.
Or is T2 using some other light functions ?
