this is never going to happen but
« on: June 10, 2017, 06:25:24 pm »
I really want FH to have shadows. not on the meshes On the ground and if your standing on something it can project a shadow too on that mesh. it's probably never going to happen because we dont have the source code and because i got the preset sync. I can't have the ENB mod. just an idea if this is ever possible

Having shadows that add onto the atmosphere of the game would be amazing!
Although, I do believe there would be some major lag issues involved if it were possible. If it was able to be added, it would be a good idea to have it how IT servers provide players with the Bloom/Shadows effect - options to have them on/off depending on what your computer can take while having the game launched.

I hate to rain on your parade, but I was once told that both shadows and reflective water can't be possible in the version of OGRE the game runs on. So in order for shadows to be implemented, reflective water has to be removed or the game has to be rewritten in a newer version of OGRE.

It did had shadows in the first stages.
However it was laggy as hell so it got removed again.
Plus, as already mentioned, it did not cowork with the reflection water.
TBH i would have prefered shadows over the waterreflect, but its not changeable anymore :/

i made a shadow glitch once.  Added water ripples code to a preset, had rippled shadow under it.  It wouldn't export so i couldn't wear it around public maps.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?
