I'm not so sure I like the idea. I mean, it would be awesome to have stealth-based games, but refusing connections just doesn't seem fair. |

I want everyone to see shadows in a TDM, but people will naturally kill their shadows to gain an advantage in the game. Question: Is there some way to check if the client got shadows turned on?

It's pretty harsh against people who can't run shaders, but if that is what it takes to obtain maximum awesome for the people who join in.. I'm sure for it. There's no idea to run something half-assed. All in I say. Refusing connection for the greater good... for the greater good I say... ooOo --- Quote from: TheArmyGuy on January 14, 2013, 11:09:34 AM ---But slebs I can't run shaders :( --- End quote --- muahaha |

Alternative idea is buildable shadows with volume bricks that make the area they are covering darker and the players inside them darker as well. Have them at like various angles or something |

This wouldn't work. It would look terrible or take a long time to render. You wouldn't see proper player shading, it would make player shadows look like the used to (really bad) and really just complicate the game. Frankly, I think time would be better spent optimizing the current system more and maybe adding more effects like SSAO. |
