What? Taboo, you really think I don't know that the day/night mod doesn't work well with terrain maps?
no, wait, i just remember; citrus said that to try to disable killer2 had changed the map, and that's why everything looked terrible. the lighting was too much, there were two skyboxes on top of each other.
if the daynight mod now works with terrain, congrats to drendran for reminding me i know nothing about torque, but i guess killer tried to end it without being SA to use /endcycle command and successfully broke everything.
