Night Environment

I know this is a noob question - but - how do I get my mission file to be a night scene?

Thanks!

Use the mission editor F11 to set the sun colors to dark colors.

Thanks Anton
I've tried that - and it's still pretty well lit up

I'm using the stormy sky map - could that be it?

I thought there may be a function - or a attribute I could use to set it to night.

i've tried the sun color - postion - etc. - I don't see any changes reflected actually when I apply them.

Ah - I've just now figured it out.

I need to change the color of the sun (thanks Anton) - but it doesn't take when I apply - I need to save - and re-open.

Is that a bug?

Thanks

No. You have to relight the scene, which is done on each mission start. Press Alt-L to do it manually.

Just adding a bit to Stefan's post -- you can only do the relight command while in world edit mode (F11).
