pitch black

[ultimatekao]

i am trying to make a pitch black map...
i have the flash bang grenades kind of made, how do i rename objects, and how do i make the map pitch black?
also how do i change a weapon to a flashlight that provides lots of light, and melees as the attack?
one more thing how do i make the plasma pistol into a "flare gun" that shoots flares that sit and last on ground for a while?

use a needler projectile and change the light values

well, you could change the model of the masterchief and elite to the single player MC model, and then edit the bitmaps until they are the color you want. if u dont know how to do that, search for skinning tutorials. also, change the explosion delay of the needler to make it stay longer. as for a weapon that makes lots of light, you could improvise. jack up the light effect of the sword, and boom: instant torch. I'd also suggest making the light effect of the rockets around 5-10; it looks cool.
