Note: all this is described in \root\docs_modtools\SunSky_Light_SetUp.pdf

If you have no skybox/shitty lighting in your new created map, this is how you fix it:

-Open APE
-Create a new GDT if you'd like

Now we can start:

-Choose "New asset" and a popup-box will appear
-Asset Name, name it whatever you like. Asset type: SSI and choose the GDT you want to create it in
-You can mess with the settings, use these if you want to be safe:

-Next, create a "new asset" again. Again name it whatever, and this time choose "image"
-Use these settings, you can use any .exr image you like ( i found some in \model_export\t7_skybox\  for example )
(Image removed from quote.)

-Next create a new asset again, this time choose type "material"
-Use these settings, and for the color_map use the image you created in the previous step
(Image removed from quote.)

-Now again create a new asset, and this time choose "xmodel"
-Use these settings, under LOD 0 fill in a skybox model ( t6_props\vista\skybox\t6_skybox.xmodel_bin for example ) and under Materials fill in the material you made in the previous step
(Image removed from quote.)


-Now go back to the SSI ( first asset we made ), and fill in the skybox you created under 'skybox model'
-Now open Radiant, select the sun-volume and where it says SSI 1 you enter your newly created SSI.

-Export lights, link, and run map ( dont expect anything fancy looking, but at least you got normal lighting now.. )

k so i am new to the modding scene, idk why i even have to do this cuz everything worked fine for my friend. but i dont get it. i added u on skype and send u a tweet on twitter. please help me there

If you want to build the sun press "View -> View Toolbar -> Exposure" then click the lightning bolt above the camera view

done that didnt work

Have you tried pressing F8 after loading the map?

and i have seen that it says "sun not built" in the game view window. so im just wondering how i can build a sun

that is what it looks like when i have pressed f8 and even in game

for some reason it looks all wierd

when i buy the marshal 16 is doesnt give me the weapon but it does cost me points

dont really like it.

its a very glitchy/buggy map.

AWESOME MAP! but i found it very annoying that my character was keep on screaming reloading when ever i reloaded. and the gun sounds are too loud, later in the game i decided to turn the sound off.
