AB JOMed - You can have a daylight map in JO!!
OK, you can have a daylight map if you want, you don't have to use the 4 available Sky's..
But...you have to edit the mis file with a text editor, like editplus, or notepad will do..
Make your map, save it as a mis...
Open the mis file in a text editor, now, your looking for a line that says, it's not far down the list..
sunset FULL_00 or
sunset FULL_01 or
sunset FULL_02 or
sunset FULL_03
These are the 4 options you have, you would have FULL_00 as the default....now change the FULL_0X to DAY2 so it looks like this..
sunset DAY2
I tried a variety of these, day1, dawn1 etc, but they all turn out the same, a daylight map, with some fog..
Now, save the file
Start your Jo Med..load the mis, export it as a bms, and convert it..
Play the map..and you should have Daylight, with some fog about 800 metres out..
Better than having only night maps..
Have Fun

Great tip, I have one too.
Copy this text bellow into a notpad and save it as "DAYTIME.ENV" Save into your med-folder. Now you can choose the daylight in the med. The result are
day but no clouds, couse the ENV-file aren´t in the gamefolder. Copy the file into your gamefolder to get the clouds. But i will go with EE´s tips for
now. Becouse i havent got any joiners to confirm the daylight or clouds. But maybe this can help anyone to better understand how the enviroment is
working. lol

Have you noticed m8 using that makes the Sun Shine come from the ground. lol
Also it does the same if you just delete the FULL_00 from the sunset line in the mis.

To Properly add daytime to your maps create a wac file with this line:
TOD(1200)
Save the wac the same name as your map, But make sure the server uses the /d command so it reads the wac file.
Clients dont need the /d command just the server.
Hope this helps, This is not from me but from Smokin from DFA.
I have tried it and it works fine. 
Sal.
*Edit* Just thought I would take a SS to show it working.

use fogdist(#)
but the max range is 1000meters
//and do the tod like this:
if never() then
TOD(1200)
endif
otherwise the TOD gets set to 1200 every second

Just download my wac file unzip it to your JO Folder.
To get it to work with your map just click your right mouse button on the wac file and rename it the same as your map.
Example my wac is named UrbanWarefare.wac just rename it to your map name so if your map is named City then change the name to City.wac
>>>Wac File Download<<<
Hope this helps you m8.
Sal.

Its ok I have tried this out and the /d command doesnt need to be used in JO, It will read the wac anyway.
Just make sure the wac files for each map is in the jo folder with the bms`s.
Hope that make sense to you.lol

If you use the wac file then No, Everyone will see daytime only the server needs the wac file.
Oh and thanks for your comments on my map M8.

I'll tell you why.... cuz when the server sends the map to the client to load up it tells it to load enviroment file X, BUT X is not downloaded from
the server it is locally loaded from the client's pff's so unless the people who play in your server have that specific ENV file in their pff or JO
dir. they will see none of it, and it just defaults to no ENV settings. This is cause the ENV file tells the client what images to load, like cloud
images, sun, moon, stars (yes there is starfields but none of them use it). if it didnt load it locallly it would take forever to load maps up. and
bog the server down hard when people join in and suck all the bandwidth up. This is also the reason NL came up with NILE and its COMPRESSED map
files. makes it quick and helps reduce the lag esp. when there is tons of people in the room allready and everyone is trying to DL the map file at the
same time.
