Making shadows work in FH?
« on: March 19, 2014, 06:46:47 am »
So out of boredom, I decided to look at the settings files of the game to see if I could get shadows working in the game.
I found inside of "settings.cfg" in the games a setting under the video section that looks like this.

[Video]
Shadows=false
ShadowDetail=0


Now, I'm thinking KovuLKD disabled this for lower end computers or for stability reasons but I wanted to know if there was still a way to active this in game. So I fired up Cheat Engine and searched for any stings relating to "Shadows" in the game and I found this.





Now, unfortunately I can't do any more with this thanks to Rule 8.

Rule 8 - Altering Game Files
"Do NOT alter any of the decrypted files or codes for the game that might affect the maps and/or gameplay. Giving you an advantage or not, the files should remain intact unless you are given a permission to change them. If you are caught doing this you will most likely face a longer ban."

But what I can see is that the game is loading the files and has settings for them to be enabled but have either been greened out with # in the source or there's something telling the game not to render shadows.

Thought you people might think that's interesting.

Also stalking this post. Shadows are the one thing FH has been missing and needs, badly.
