turn off the sun

Anyone know how to completely turn off the sun? I want to have the terrain only lit by light_omni ents from the dif.
I removed the mission file sun, but the terrain still has some ambient light. And Torque squawks if I turn off the fog completely.

The light only lit up the WC modle not the terrain.
If you got it working it could be nice with a screenshot, I would like to see how it looks.

I don't think the lights from the interiors affect the terrain at all, but I could be wrong, I did a simpletest on this once, where I made a lamppost in WC.The light only lit up the WC modle not the terrain.

This all came from wanting to have a campfire scene :)
Edit:
since I couldn't totally remove the fog, I changed the fogvolumecolor settings to 0 0 0 1
fogVolumeColor1 = "0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000";
and raised the fogvolume to cover the scene with low visible distance:
fogVolume1 = "10 2 210";
This created almost the effect I am looking for, there is still a bit of the flashlight effect on the terrain, but its an improvement:

I turned off everything (even removed the sun from the mission file). As I said, there has to a little fog color or Torque will crash. But the terrain still has some light whereever the player goes. I want darkness! :) But looking back at a map I did with lampposts also, I see that the terrain is not lit, just the building next to the lamppost.
