[QUESTION] Altering Skyboxes

[The_Tauren]

I plan to recreate Duskwood pre first war. The dark, gloomy atmosphere doesn't fit, so I'm hoping to replace it with lighting similar to Elwynn Forest. What should I edit to do so?

Hi, this is very easy if you want to just change it on Elwynn skybox, you're just going to need DBC Editor and Light Mapper. So in Light Mapper you'll open Azeroth and search for Duskwood, then you've got there a few red points, just point your cursor on them and they will show you ID (write all the ids somewhere). Now you can close Light Mapper and you're going need Light.DBC (Take it from Patch-enUS / GB-3), you will open it in your DBC Editor and then you will search for the lines with the ids you wrote. And now you you will delete those lines (because Elwynn uses the skybox which is given on all the Eastern Kingdoms where is no other skybox) or you can replace it by other skybox (for example Stranglethorn..)
I hope it works

Thank you very much I will try this out.

Just one little detail to be more accurate. Skybox (or rather sky and light settings) used in Elwynn Forest is base and you will have it everywhere where no other skybox in light.dbc is set. So in every map where no skyboxes are set, this one will apply. There might be, however, overwritten base skybox by some which has coords and radiuses set all to 0, but its not common and not case of eastern kingdoms map.
