Would it be possible to offset the sun so it is not 100% overhead at noon?

The following settings can be adjusted:

• Sun azimuth (position around the horizon)
• Sun elevation

That wasn't even remotely funny, please stop.

Well some of the time I was being funny, but I made that just because I hate it when people ask the same questions over and over again.

[Teneksi]

In my experience, azumith just turns where it would go down in the "east" and "west"; any azumith with 90 elevation is still directly overhead.

Questions and Answers
so that people just stop asking the same questions over again

Will the lighting have modding support?
most likely
What if other admin want to mess with the environment when I don't want them to?
modding support, I can make an addon to fix this is a few seconds
Can you make the water move/adjust the texture/adjust height/adjust transparency?
yes
Can you adjust the texture of the ground?
yes
Whats gamemode/Server settings button?
unknown, possibly things like server tags and rtb-like options
Will you be able to adjust transparency of ground?
in the video there is no alpha slider for ground, that could mean either yes and its not implemented yet, or most likely no
Invisible ground?
although there may be no alpha slider it could be possible to do with an invisible texture
Moving ground?
yes
Will I need a better graphics card?
no, if you can run blockland now, you will be able to run it perfectly fine when the update comes out
Will lighting/skybox and water be open to change by modifications?
most likely
Will there be events for this?
should be pretty easy to add with add-ons, so most likely yes
Will player/brick lights effect shadows?
no, only the sun's light
When it come out?
when badspot uploads the next version
Why is roblox a tag on the video?
cheap but efficient marketing tactics, converting roblox users to blockland users
Saving/Loading?
modding support/fetaure, so most likely

I like that better. It doesn't look like spam. lol

In my experience, azumith just turns where it would go down in the "east" and "west"; any azumith with 90 elevation is still directly overhead.

So, maybe an optional sun/time lag or delay? Such as, it's 12:00 but the sun is in the position for 11:00 because you set the delay to one hour

[Greek2me]

In my experience, azumith just turns where it would go down in the "east" and "west"; any azumith with 90 elevation is still directly overhead.

Ah, you're right. He actually changes the azimuth in the video and you can see that.
