Could someone give me a brief crash course on how that direction lighting position
works in AW? I can't figure it out without knowing what the specific number on the
slider is. (you'll see why I want to know hopefully)

The direction of the light is handled by a vector...

The X component controls its West / East translation.
The Y component controls its Up / Down tilt.
The Z component controls its North / South translation.

It's important to note that positive X values indicate a Western direction,
while positive Z values indicate a Northern trend.

It's probably a bad idea to use a positive direction for Y :)
