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.

I wouldn't use qrad for anything after arghrad was published:
http://arghrad.planetquake.gamespy.com/
The site is still up and there are tutorials too.
