Shadow radius definition question

veirdo

Hi devs!
Does the "Shadow radius" parameter working?
I want to have a little wider shadow under decoration model and tried different values from 1 to 80 (world units, I think), but it gave me the same result. I used debug render with plain gray to check it.

Model {
  State = "ZTWINEDTORCH_1";
  Inter = 0;
  Scale XYZ = { 1.0 1.0 1.0 };
  Offset XYZ = { 0.0 0.0 0.0 };
  Shadow radius = 30;
  Md2 { 
    File = "Decor/TwinedTorch/TwinedTorch.md2";
    Skin file = "Decor/TwinedTorch/TwinedTorch.png";
    Flags = litshiny | specular;
    Shiny skin = "Common/common_shine.png";
    Shiny = 0.3;
    Shiny color { 1.0 1.0 1.0 };
    Frame = "Attack_1"; 
  };
  Md2 { 
    File = "Decor/TwinedTorch/TwinedTorch_Glow.md2";
    Skin file = "Decor/TwinedTorch/TwinedTorch_Glow.png";
    Flags = brightshadow2 | fullbright;
    Transparent = 0.0;
    Frame = "Attack_1";
  };
}

Doomsday version 1.14.4 and default renderer profile.

IIRC the sprites for this mobj are set to be full bright; full bright sprites are unable to have shadows.

Perhaps this also prevents a model def based shadow as well.

I already turn off fullbright flag for that "thing" in the state definition. So it no longer emit light and lit the area. I want to use a custom lights.

i don't think you can change the shadow radius. as what the wiki has dose not tell me it is possible but the devs would know more then whats on the wiki.

The Model definition "Shadow radius" is presently ignored.


This commit from December 2013 disabled it for some reason. Perhaps DaniJ can elaborate.

I added a bug about this.

I must have had a reason at the time, though I don't recall what that was. Reading through the related commits theres nothing that stands out. I'll enable it again and do some tests...

Okay, I have an universal solution in that case: a "decal" plain with a shadow texture.
