bricks casting shadows

[Mysteroo]

I know bricks don't do this, and probably never will, but I just noticed something- the server previews all show bricks with shadows being cast. Why is that? They don't do that in the actual game, so why are shadows shown in the preview?

It's not that big of a deal, I just thought it was something interesting that I noticed.

Bricks cast shadows when you take an ingame screenshot, so I'm sure it's possible somehow, like taking a screenshot every frame, but not very practical.

really? hmm, there's a lot of things that I still haven't noticed before.. Like I just figured out what query internet did a few weeks ago, and I didn't know about the screenshot shadows.
Even if that was the only thing Badspot did for lighting, or maybe extending the limit for how far away you can see a light, it'd probably drastically make things look better. :/

Wait, I'm wrong about brick shadows being cast. It's just the player shadow being correctly cast upon the bricks. Silly me.

oh, well still, players shadows aren't normally cast onto bricks. So that'd be cool as well
