That would've kind of neat really, we could do things like this:

[MegaScientifical]

We totally need the ability to make rave parties with windows.

If you want to have tinted shadows, then you better get to work creating a raycasting engine which won't bog down your system to 1 frame-per-second.

God damnit I'm still wondering about how you reverse broke that emmiter behind transparent bricks

Well you can download my island map and find out, I put the file up in the map section.

[Mr.jacksaunt]

When this update comes around, will all current slate maps be broken and have to be ported?

[Chrono]

no

it'll actually amplify the light and kill players and it will ban badspot from the internet
