File Name: Shadow Improvement Mod (20.4 KB) Download

Description
This mod is does what its name implies, fixes/improves many aspects of the games shadows.

This mod resulted from the work of, and or information from the following people:

-SteelViking-Myself

-tonschk

-Pintea

So credit is due to the three of us for this mod.

Version 1.0 Change Log:

- Increased draw distance of interior shadows(in stock, the shadows were only rendered half way across most rooms, and you could easily see the where the shadows ended).

- Greatly improved the distribution of shadows over crew members skin and clothing.

- Made the precision of all shadows closer to the real thing.

- Decreased the odd looking double vision effect of stock.

- Fixed some more minor irregularities in the way that shadows were being rendered.


Be advised: This mod may cause drops in frame rate, as the resolution of the shadows has been increased. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon 4600 series, and it does not make any significant impact, so if you have better than it should be no problem. Testing was conducted by a few people, and none reported any fps drops but does not mean it is not possible.

This mod is JSGME compatible.

Known JSGME conflicts: None

Known issues: None, other than possible fps drop, testing was conducted by others.

This mod is really a work in progress right now, because I am conviced that an even better setup is possible for the shadows. I invite all to take a look and see if they can improve upon what we have here. It would be nice if the resolution could be kept as low as possible however, as folks with older systems may start having problems if it is not.


Thanks for giving this mod a try, and good hunting,

SteelViking
