I'm wondering, if I try this, is there anyway to easily turn it on or off?

You easily can, but it takes like 5 seconds more work to do + you need a script in BL.

I'm kinda wanting to try it, just for taking screenshots. But if I can't easily switch it off, probably not going to. I have a 7770, so I'd probably get like 1 fps with bricks.

Don't know if this is the newest version, but I found this while flipping through the pages.

I think like this.

Either go here: https://gist.github.com/portify/6729709 (First version)
or
here: https://gist.github.com/portify/6744484 (High performance)

Make a new file called in Blockland/shaders called soft_frag.glsl and put the code into it.
Make a copy of renderCsm_vert.glsl and name it soft_vert.glsl

Open Blockland and go into a game.
Open console and type:

Code: [Select]

$Shader::ShaderName = "soft";
initializeShaderAssets();
regenerateShadowMapFBOs();
flushVBOCache();Congrats the shaders are now working.

Heh, so I tried it, and on my 50k brick island build (which I just posted a bunch of pictures in it's gallery topic) I got roughly 3  FPS on my 7770. XD
