Environmental Light
This tutorial is for those mappers that want to find the perfect settings for their light_environment entities without having to use trail and error. I've included a list of most of the skybox textures and the settings to use with your light_environments (you can see good sky pictures here). All the settings were taken from the game, so they should already be perfect.
This tutorial assumes that you know how to use skyboxes, light_environments, and changing basic entity settings.
-- The settings for the light_environments are in bold
