Turning the sun off
Anoshi,
this may be a dumb question but how do you turn the sun off? Is in possible in a WAC file? I messed around with the sun settings with little effect.
I would like to use a day environment but get rid of the sun or at least tone it down. Any other details on this would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

i agree eagle if you notice i aint posted this much due to the failure of bt. but anyway as you will notice i no longer post replies twice in a row
cause i find it agrivating after the 20th time.
Note: im am wondering at this time if eagle is now bald. because if i scratched my head each time i was trying to work something out i would have a
dip in my skull.
Extra Note: did anyone notice that the note was the near enough the same size as the actual message i posted and that this extra note will be around
the same size as the last note.

Day to Night
Thanks for the information on the day to night settings. Anoshi, it was good seeing your name in BHD/TS map rating again. And I hope better maps are
created from your comments.
Thanks,
KRULL

I've seen one, but it didn't work.
Could someone post a working wac commands for changing Night to Day on this thread?
Thanks.

Well...
Just an idea, but: might one be able to set Colorfade properties to negative...giving the same effect as colorbrighten (which I assume doesn't exist)?
I would assume that, starting with a night map, you couldn't use any Sun settings as the sun doesn't appear on-screen.

Night and dark, but not TOO dark
There is one setting for night that is totally dark. How would I set my settings (!) to make it dark, but not totally dark. Like I'd want to be able
to see my HAND in front of my face, but I don't want to have to set fog distance to make it appear dark.
