You need to add an entry in the Light.dbc

http://madx.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=Light.dbc

The easyst way is to clone an existing light entry and change the cods. To get the ID of an light you can use the tool Lightmapper. If you click on an light you get the ID of it... (hmm should enter this to noggit :) ) .
So serach your sky and duplicate the entry The cords you can get from noggit. Just use the client cords. You have to swap the Z and Y values and multiply all with 36.

Now just set the two radius to define the size of the sky area.

If it works it would be nice if you could write a tutorial. If you need more help jsut ask.

Every map has an main skybox located on the upper left side of the map.
Take a look in Lightmapper. This one is userd as main sky box.

I take the point to ask if someone knows the general night sky settings O.o or if they are all linked to each skybox...
