Please im trying to figure out what lighting would be good and how I use it for my winter map. Working on fog/snow textures now and got snow working any other thing that would give it a winter feel.
How do I add a new sky and lighting every time I redskin the yavin one everything gets really bright and I want it dark(not night but dark)
Sry if this is in the wrong spot.

click the lighting tab in ZE, and change the ambient light. You should also change to the Hoth sky most likely. As for brightness it should be almost too bright as sun reflects off of snow.

Another thought is to just import the Hoth map, delete all objects, and start from there. Sometimes when I can't get started on a map I'll take a shipped map and start modifying it until I've created something totally different.

Hint: cross reference your .sky file with the stock Mygeeto .sky file.

Hidden/Spoiler:
DomeInfo()
{
Texture("myg1_sky_dome.tga");
Softness(1);
SoftnessParam(60);
DomeModel()
{
Geometry("myg1_sky_dome");
}
DomeModel()
{
Geometry("myg1_sky_mountains_01"); //it's in the .sky file
MovementScale(0.995);
}
}
Make sure you have the mountains' TGA in the your data's world1 folder.
