Modify Lightning Storm global lighting?

How do you modify the lightning storm lighting? I intend to adjust it to just the same lighting/brightness of the map so that there will be no visible change when a storm happens. Is this doable/possible?

The lighting effects for the lightning storm are controlled by the IonAmbient=, IonGround=, IonLevel=, IonBlue= and IonGreen= tags inside each map file.

If you are using Ares you can override and customize the map file lighting on the super weapon's rules code instead.

Thank you Mig Eater. I'm doing this in vanilla map. What's wrong with my code? The skies still darken every time Lightning Storm starts.

[Lighting]
Red=0.000000
Blue=0.000000
Green=0.600000
Lighting=yes
LightRed=0.000000
LightGreen=0.600000
LightBlue=0.000000
LightAmbient=0.800000
LightGround=1.000000
LightLevel=1.000000
LightAmbientChangeRate=0.800000
IonRed=0.000000
IonBlue=0.000000
IonGreen=0.600000
IonLevel=1.000000
IonGround=1.000000
IonAmbient=0.800000
IonAmbientChangeRate=0.800000

Try changing IonAmbient= to 1.000000, 1.0 is neutral lighting 0.8 is darken and 1.8 would be lighten etc. Changing IonGreen= to 0.000000 might help too.
