Title: [QUESTION] Static shadows in Noggit
Post by: Stefsarch on July 25, 2014, 11:49:53 am

Hello, I have a question. Blizzard maps have these static low-res shadows you see when having the shadow options in game set to minimum. Noggit shows these shadows. When I move a WMO or M2, the static shadow of it stays. If I add a new WMO or M2 it has no shadow. If I delete an already present WMO or M2, the static shadow doesn't go away. How could I add/change these shadows?

I am using Noggit SDL 1.2 on WoW 3.3.5a.

You’d need to use something like Taliis to edit the shadow layer directly. Unfortunately tools for working with WoW’s static shadows are pretty much non-existent.

This really sucks because WoW’s OpenGL engine (which mac and linux players have to use) didn’t support dynamic terrain shadows until cata, and as a result custom maps and edits look terrible for mac/linux users.
