Out of curiosity, has anybody built a shadowmap rendering utility that renders the shadows of M2s and WMOs onto the terrain? For a lot of mods and custom content, it's the one thing that keeps it from feeling professional.
I know dynamic shadows exist in-game, but many players might not be able to or might not want to enable them, so I think static shadows are still important when doing serious world building… at least if mods are meant to be used on a private server.
I think it will take wow.exe opensource
Maybe I'm wrong
