Just to make it clear. There won't be a magical sun appearing in your map like a big spherical ball floating around. It's only 'sun-light' from your sky.

again, i make the sun, now i tried to put normal lights (spotlights, or in the poligons in texture flags) and they no appeared, the only light is the sun......
and some parts its too dark and i need put someone light =)

I wouldn't use qrad for anything after arghrad was published:

The site is still up and there are tutorials too.
