Summary | 0006357: Volumetric light shadows broken in Written In Stone Memorial: | ||||
Description | @nbohr1more suggested trying "r_shadowMapAlphaTested 1" in the console, which temporarily resolves the issue. | ||||

What about coordinates? | |

This issue happens only when Stencil shadows are selected in graphical settings. The reason is "volumetric_noshadows" set to "-1" on "sun_light". It means that the engine can drop shadows for this volumetric light if needed. Which is probably the right decision, because this scene looks better with non-shadowed volumetric lights than without volumetric lights?... I suppose that this spawnarg was added in this mission because otherwise volumetric light would get removed in 2.10. Then in 2.11 I implemented some logic to automatically switch lights with volumetrics to shadow volumes even if player uses stencil shadows in general. But the logic of "volumetric_noshadows" "-1" was not changed: shadows are dropped for them on stencil shadows settings. The question is how to proceed. Should be change "volumetric_noshadows" "-1" and make it the same as "volumetric_noshadows" "0" ? Or should we retain the current mechanic and remove the keyword from the mission? |

All missions using this "-1" value: written seeking byanyothername |

@stgatilov, - WIS, I set volumetric_noshadows to zero in in the memorial and it now works and looks as I intended with Maps and Stencil shadows. - Seeking, the reason I set -1 was for the VL lights I used as glow on the fireplaces. But testing it with is set 0 has no change on visual So both of these can be set to 0 from -1 imho. |
|
adding "seta r_shadowMapAlphaTested "1" to the autoexec.cfg is a work around for this issue. | |
