Oh, no no no ) i specifically drew attention to this:

I'm not meaning that lightray will reflect from surface and goes again in space (it sounds fantastic for free soft). I mean just displaying ray on reflecting surface (1st and 3rd pictures on prev.post). But(!) sometimes lightrays not reflected (2nd pic). So, one reason that we see differents - camera was mooved or FOV was changed.

It's ok. So, that's why question to Knighty, he wrote this )  Based on Kali's vol.light, but he lost somewhere...
If you could sort out in DE-Kn2.frag, will be great )

It is very simple.  cheesy
There is a rather dumb "optimisation" that causes bright features to be not reflected at all: In DE-Kn*.frag, in color() function, about the end you have this test:
Code:
if (hitNormal == vec3(0.0) || dot(RWeight,RWeight)<0.0001 || lighthit || Ray.Pos>=MaxDistance) {//nothing hit or light hit or reflected light is too small
break;
}
The problem comes from:
Code:
... dot(RWeight,RWeight)<0.0001 ...
The solution should be to remove that condition or to set the right hand side to a (much) smaller value.
In some way, it is related to what lycium was explaining: It is very difficult (if possible) to say in advance how much light a ray carries.

Thank you! )
As i remember you wrote this for good reason. Black dots or some optimisations...

Looked. Not helps. Maybe another reason for this behavior? Straight ray on first plane, but behind in reflection  :-

Found some way to go (maybe good results). Added line
Code:
colfogglow+=ptLightGlow1(prevPos, curPos);
here
Code:
#ifdef KN_VOLUMETRIC
if(HF_Scatter*(HF_Intensity+HF_Const)>0.){
vec3 colfogglow=vec3(0.);
for(int j=0;j<HF_FogIter;j++) {
colfogglow+=ptLightGlow1(prevPos, curPos);
colfogglow+=ptLightGlow3(prevPos, curPos);
}
col0+=colfogglow*1./float(HF_FogIter);//ptLightGlow1(prevPos, curPos);
}
#endif
So there is more rays on reflection, but still missed pieces (1,2) and excess rays too (3)
upd.: I think (3) it's a reflection on the ceiling  embarrass

upd.2: This looks better. Am i on a right way?  lips are sealed :- lips are sealed  huh?
Code:
colfogglow+=ptLightGlow1(prevPos, curPos);
colfogglow+=ptLightGlow1(prevPos, curPos);
colfogglow+=ptLightGlow3(prevPos, curPos);

OK, sorry! my bad. It is a bug that was really hard to spot. Thank you for reporting it.
Code:
#ifdef KN_VOLUMETRIC
if(HF_Scatter*(HF_Intensity+HF_Const)>0.){
fogstrata=0;// <<<---- ADD THIS
vec3 colfogglow=vec3(0.);
for(int j=0;j<HF_FogIter;j++) colfogglow+=ptLightGlow3(prevPos, curPos);
col0+=colfogglow*1./float(HF_FogIter);//ptLightGlow1(prevPos, curPos);
}
#endif

"fogstrata" have to be set to 0 at each reflexion. Otherwise, in ptLightGlow3(p0,p1) the sample points won't be completely inside the segment (p0,p1).
