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:

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