since the game is technically a mod for a mod, i am surprised it works as well as it does its picking random locations on each map you visit to spawn these things, I have seen them spawn in totally unreachable places before, it happens sometimes

oh i thought it was just like, game was so old and unupdated the mechanics got a bit changed or something

Shard locations are based off entity locations in the map that aren't colliding with things. In that case, there's probably a sprite entity for that wall light that it decided was a good spot to spawn a shard at.

...Which can lead to some pretty wacky locations sometimes, since it doesn't try to do a "reasonableness check". This hopefully forces players to use their full suite of tools to get to some sneaky shards. Some are still impossible, but it keeps it interesting at least.
