Outside PLEASE HELP!

[Acies]

1. You can use a largely sized dirtpile - then scale it up alot. If it's dark enough players won't see the texture; ergo how ugly it is Alternatively sculpt mountains in a modeling program.

2. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20790433/Lightning.zip

That is an image and an alpha for some lightning. Lightningmoving moves, while lightning is still. Choose one of them and make it into a billboard and connect it to a strong/large pointlight. Have all of the color values of the pointlight at 0. Then use scripts to play a lightning sound and set all of the pointlight colors to 1. Then fade all color values of the pointlight to 0 again using a timer.

Edit: Post in developement support next time - that's the usual place to get help.
