1. pick a sky

2. put "sky" "<skyname>" in worldspawn

3. optional: cover the top of the map with the sky texture

4. put _sun_ambient, _sun_diffuse, _sun_light, and sun_angle in worldspawn with the correct values

5. Compile and adjust values as you see fit

for the angles on the suns use the wiki page at: http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/testwiki1/pb2wiki.php?word=Sun+Angles

Note that diffuse should be somewhere between your ambient and light values, as it blends them together.
