Messing with map lighting: Tabula Martian

Hello flaks folks, I started to mess around with lighting effects and some stuff with notepad++ and got this awesome effect, a martian ambience in Red Alert. I used one of FiveAces´ map to test it and I got interesting results (If RA2:YR had the Moon, OpenRa has Mars)

Now we can take advantage of the new sound ambience, lighting, snow, rain and all that jazz to create more unique map atmospheres.

Any ideas or suggestions for mapping?

Cool function.
We need some models/art to place around, like pathfinder, the Hab, Matt Damon, etc...

Cool !
Maybe a bit too red for my taste ... but good idea !

(Can the particle system be used for sandstorms ?? I wonder ... )

Looks amazing!
I'm really looking forward to getting all my harvesters eaten in dune just so I can watch sandstorms in the next release!
