About the sun thing... it seems to be an engine problem. I head Dave (rest in peace) had major problems with the sun in SH4, so I guess that problem never got fixed by the SH3 devs.
For me it changes every time ATI release a new set of drivers.
But, every time, I find the right GC settings to get it looking right and play with those.
The problem also varies enormously between rigs, affecting not only the size of the sun but also whether or not it shines through objects. It's a pain.
I could release that "sunhalo fix" modlet again, for people to enable over the top of OLCE2. It will create extra work for me if I ever decide to change the colours, but that seems extremely unlikely now... I'm basically happy with them... in fact I'm pretty much happy with the whole mod, now... dare I say the "F" word? :hmm: Maybe! Another project (not a mod) beckons... maybe it's time to call this one done and dusted!
