You would have to adjust the night colors in the environment ATL file. However, with each color u tweak, often it leads u to tweaking another. Not sure what you mean by more red, nights aren't redder, unless you're just trying to make it less black or blue, but still look natural. You change too much, then colors don't blend. If you look in the Env/Atl file you'll see 3 weather types, first is no clouds, 2nd is clouds, 3rd if overcast. The day progresses by angle of sun for each type. You can pretty much see how the day progresses into night because of the colors with the night are very dark and the last numbers in the weather type. Within each u can adjust numerous colors, clouds, water, horizon, reflections and so on. They're also several light values that add more light. During night, changing values can have much effect on sensors, so while u can change tones, be careful changing the depth of colors and light, lighter colors and more light, the better the enemy can see you, darker less. If you use a mod, simply copy the env file from the mod and open it with the s3deditor and have at it....good luck...

Anyways, the goal of any environment work is a natural blended look that connects to the overall goal of what sensors should be...
