you can rebuild danger canyon with a sky from another map. And then edit lightmaps to your liking.

Omg. Please stop posting like that, and please read other peoples' posts more carefully. :)
You don't 'light the maps', you skin the lightmaps.
You edit the sky by skinning, just like any other skin, but it's in a different format.
Hope I helped. :)

to go for the effect we did in redux your going to have to do the following..

-rework all the lightmaps for that level.
-edit the sky tag to bring the brightness down and add a hint of "orange" fog
-rework all the bitmaps on the exterior of the level. this meaning if the sun would hit it in real life, it needs to have its contrast raise slightly.
-rework all the sky bitmaps including the ring, threshold and basis.
-if you looking for what we did in redux to b30/deathisland with the animated aura sky (i wrote a tut on it) your going to have to make a custom shader for the active camo and apply it on the sky via the "unknown pc shader" tag in hmt.

if your too lazy to do the leg work then download redux and copy the changes we made on deathisland in dangercanyon.

all the changes you need for this "sunset" will be found in hmt under deathislands tag branches for...

-sky
-unknown pc shader
-bitmaps

just compare what ours is vs. a stock deathisland. i dont think anyone is going to make it for you cause its a mod that you want so depending on how bad you actually want it is up to you.
