shadow maps on maps

Post by spartan117gw »

uh. hey guys. whats with alot of hte maps not having shadow maps? (when you go into the shade ur characters are lit up like day. weird. huh.

all you n eedaa do is take a texture of the mini map or somthing. turn it to grey scale and set as shadow map(needa make an object shadow map too so when u go under trees shadows u get a shadow. so yeah. why no shadow maps?

I'm no expert, but I'm going to hazard a guess that the maps without the shadow maps are the larger ones with the extended view distances. I think it was a trade off, in order to get the longer view distances, the shadows were dropped. Anyone able to confirm/disprove this theory?
Also Spartan, I'm highly sure anyone who makes those maps is aware of how to add shadow maps and that omitting them was a concious decision.
