editing the world fx file's lighting paramaters should do the trick.

No. i'm not good at this either. what i would do is maybe copy over the effects, and munged folders from the stock bf2 geonosis map, and replace the bf1 geonosis' fx file with the bf2 (overwrite) version.

You could also take for example Spidey's Geonosis map. It has an exeptionnal environment.

What exactly do you mean with changing the environment?

there are mayn things you can do, like changing the lighting, the effects, the skydome, skydome effects etc.
If you tell exatcly what you want to change it's easier to help you. :wink:
