Changing the sky
Does anyone know how to make the sky change to night itme in bloodgulch?????
Just extract the sky's dds files with HMT, get the dds plugin, edit in photoshop, import back in. And that's all you need to change the sky textures.
To change the overall lighting on the map, you'll need the sky plugin (which I couldn't find even when it first came out, but should be somewhere) and just change the sky color to something darker.
Or you can darken every texture in bloodgulch, if you want.

That's doing it the hard way. All you do is batch extract the Blood Gulch map. Then open up Gephyrophobia, click Save Recursive Meta, and extract the gephyrophobia sky. When you rebuild bloodgulch make sure you look in the Gephyrophobia_night_sky folder (or something like that) which will have two files in it. add them both. then when you open up your rebuilt map in blood gulch, go to bitmaps and trade out the proper elements. for examps. where it says haloring_afternoon, trade it for haloring_night and do that for all of them. here. go to http://groups.msn.com/THETYRANTBATTLE-NET. there's a pic on the front page of BG at night. we call it Blood Gulch: Twilight. The night vision really works here! 
Although he's right when he says you need the sky pluggin to darken the rest of the map. easy stuff though

look, all you have to do is change the sky bitmaps to make the sky night, then change all the fog values to O for the Blood Gulch Sky. then change Start distance to 0, the other one to like .001, and Max thickness to .88, and you just made BG at night. like I said, if you want an actual example, go to http://groups.msn.com/THETYRANTBATTLE-NET and you can actually download it
