Custom Skybox Lighting?

[HerrDave]

For my map, I need the evening to be orange and the night to be a deep dark purple/blue

I tried editing skybox models but when I load them, their light settings have been deleted/reset
(tried and tested multiple times)

Could someone help me figure out what's going on?

What with software did you tried editing the skybox models? If you tried with magos model editor I remember that there are some problems when working with dnc or with lights in general.
However I think this dnc might be what you are looking for:

I never tried to create a dnc, but if you want to try you could maybe try to follow this tutorial(I'm not sure if that tutorial will actually work because it is a bit outdated).

First time I've seen that o.o
I was using Magos' Model Editor to edit skyboxes, only to have it save wrong :\
Happens the same way with MdlVis too?

On a side note, I think I'm doing something wrong with the DNC up there ^
I got it to work in-game, but the lighting didn't apply.
White/yellow day (normal) and light-blue night (feck)

I don't know, I never used MdlVis.

After you download DNCAnimated2.mdx you'll need to create a trigger to tell the game that you want to use that dnc and not the standard one:

• DNC Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetDayNightModels("war3mapImported\\DNCAnimated2.mdx","war3mapImported\\DNCAnimated2.mdx")
