I'm curious about something...

In the Engine Features section of Croteam's site, they mention the ability to dynamically change time of day by changing lighting color and intensity, etc.. Yet, I haven't seen this feature exploited in any of their maps for either game. It looks like it could be a truly amazing feature if implemented.. I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet.

Anyone look into or figure out this feature?

Maybe it looks too bad. Unless someone wants to enlighted me (forgive pun) on where my test-case went wrong :)

The Final Level of SE features it.

Notice: Before you fight Mordekai (spelling?) it goes from day to a dark storm and back.

I think it's also apparent in Alley of the Sphinxes (The level where you start off with just your pistol and shotgun). When the level starts, its dawn, but by the time you've reached the gate, its a lot brighter and the skybox has changed.

In the beginning of FE it goes from storm to day, i think thats it.
