Player shadows has been disabled.
« on: Tuesday, January 21, 2014, 01:55:08 AM »
We have decided to turn off player shadows.
Reason for this is that they could be used to spot enemies though walls.

Awesome.  Much needed as admins can't turn them off in 2.5

And can't the shadows be fixed?

This is one of the things I never liked in AA is playing for years and years without the shadows (they were disabled on almost every servers).

It's even so stupid why AA devs for years haven't done anything about them, and just let everyone disable it instead :down:

It's an engine problem. Epic would have to update the engine,in which case we'd need the source to rebuild on the new engine.

It's just old is all. It happens on all dynamic lights (even on some static lights). Player shadows were a bit of a hack anyway as the game doesn't fully support dynamic shadows.

Damn it. But still, versions and versions of AA2 were made, each needed a new compiler... But that issue was never fixed by anyone (I call it stupidity).

ps: There are games made under the UE2 that came out with excellent shadows for back then...
