I was going to make a tutorial for this.. if it's still needed. I was able to place a sun in my map which was a great effect. The only problem is that there are no deathmatch maps with a sky that has no sun in it already. This means your sky would have two suns. lol.

However, you can use the office sky in CSS as it has no sun in it.

What I mean is that every HL2DM sky that was provided to us from the developer has the image of a sun inside of it. So.. If you went to put in another sun (you can do that in HL2), the that sun would look beautiful.... but it would be in addition to the fake sun that came with the sky texture.

sorry.. I don't have that info with me. I am at work. I will let you know tomorrow. Maybe I will just put together the video tutorial for it tomorrow. It's not long.

I don't remember the entities I used.. but there were 3. One created the light, the other defined the light, the 3rd told the sun where to point (target).
