Lighting Battle Map/Strat Map

[Spartos]

I'm trying to find where to successsfully change the light colours of the battlemap and stratmap. I find the default colours to be a bit washed out, leaning towards the blue side. My current project focuses on desert climates where the dominate atmospheric colour would be a reddish-yellow. Just wondering if any knew how to edit this.

These can be edited in the rather cunningly-named descr_battle_map_lighting_and_fog_control.txt and descr_strategy_lighting.txt files in the main data folder...

If you need climate specific lighting changes to battle map you need to use descr_daytypes.txt see

I don't think you can control strat map lighting by climate, but you can obviously change the textures used for the ground types.

Thanks both of you, great help. I have noticed that only changing the colours in battle_map_lighting_and_fog_control.txt only shows noticeable affect on certain sky boxes and times of day. Perhaps the climate specific descr_daytypes will hold the key.
