Basically it's a pointer to the ENTITY the engine uses to render the sky, so changing the parameters of the ENTITY will change the rendered sky. His words are wise, his face is beard.

But as an alternative the material ambient can be changed. By default its "mtl_sky", but you can also assign any custom material. EDIT: btw, the LIGHT flag isn't neccessary for changing red,green,blue as I wrote in my prevoius post. Last edited by oliver2s; 05/19/13 15:33.
