Question about shadows. Will JVS's bricks cast shadows?

Seeing Phy's verticle Fans cast shadows into a warehouse would look awesome.

All bricks and DTSes should cast shadows. -- kompressor

Also, regarding all the people who were talking about a "bedroom brick" but then saying that it'd be one single color:
Have you completely forgotten about the default road bricks? The individual quads specified in a BLB file can use their own color.

This has been answered several times. Yes. All DTS shapes will cast shadows just as they do now.

[FrogFreak]

Wait so with this update we will have a higher brick limit because of less something something?

I don't recall Komp confirming a higher brick limit, but I think he did mention the possibility.

I never thought Blockland could have political cartoons. But hey, now it does.

[CityRPG]

I will be clearing out the maps section on RTB but I haven't decided what I'll do about add-ons people have already downloaded. Maybe RTB will just rename them to something that won't execute. I haven't really thought about it.

I think Badspot should just stop executing any Map_ add-ons. Any new slates can be Slate_ or Environment_ or something similar.

Yes but would it just be a box or would it properly shadow.

I don't even... Assume for convenience that we are not pursuing the most handicapped option possible when we implement this. -- kompressor

Thanks.

I see this as the 4th age of Blockland.

could you possible make it possible for people to enable/disable the flat plain? so you could create floating maps and such?

I think it would be a matter of simply not including it in the map, wouldn't you? Of course placing that first brick would be tricky. -- kompressor

You said something about a coded flat plain so I figured that would automatically be added to every map

[Chrono]

I have a suggestion.

Since shadows are client-sided, how about player-emitted shadows on dark maps?

No sun in maps like Destruct = No Shadows. So how about the Player Light casts shadows only in dark maps as a replacement?

Even in dark maps there's a 'sun', that just emits 0 0 0 color light.

Though I'm sure that's probably changing in this update. Don't quote me on that.

How would you build?
