How do I put a lens flare-type thing in the skybox to simulate a sun?
You can put a halo on a bone in front of the player maybe.
I assume a type of bitmap mask. I dont think its possible.
No easy way right now. You can put a simple single-bone model up in the sky (use scenery) and give it a halo, which will be close, but not exactly the sun flare effect you are looking for.

I was just about to ask this. Brian, could you add some map option for this? That would be awesome!
Maybe a 'flare' type perticle similar to a halo. Then you could simply place a prticle spot in the sky with the flare particle attached to it.
But we need a way to align it with the skybox
.
Fair enough. Then we'll need a map option in the background-sky settings. Perhaps we could choose which background bitmap to place the flare on, the numbers of flares, and the corrds of each one. Similar to the texture window, which has a frames pulldown.
