Title: Wheres the Shadows??
Post by: Spanky on 22 Mar 2005, 11:18:23

Hi,
ive tried searching the forums but can't find anything.....

The problem is that i use the odol explorer to save the model to a mlod. But as soon as i get into the game the shadow is gone......? the strange thing is that everything looks like it should (lodnoshadow = 1, etc.).....cant figure this one out.

Help!........

 ???

And you are sure that enable shadows is on in your settings? It's an easy thing to overlook :-)

Yes its on... ;)

the soldiers and trees and stuff all have shadows...just the gun.

Its the c8xak74m.p3d from the marines pack.... its a great model, just after i convert it (to mlod) the shadow dissapears.....

Wierd

I would check if you have a LOD under ~300 faces

and I would aslo rewrite the lodnoshadow =  1 properties just to make sure

Write the lodnoshadow thing in and LODs with more than 300 faces (Just cleaing that up..)
OFP wont cast shadows with high poly counts, as it would lag a lot

I managed to fix it by playing around with the resolutions, seems making it start at 0.0000 instead of 0.0010 helped??

thanks for the help.... 8)
