Models aren't required to have a shadowmesh...what makes this a bug? |
 |
Shine a light on it and it casts no shadow. Did I get the terminology wrong? |
|
|
Ok, that makes more sense. That can be fixed by changing the texture to cast shadows. |

|
updated summary |
|
|
I checked the material, and it is set to noselfshadow. Was it sitting on a material that was also set to noselfshadow? It should be casting shadows otherwise. |
|
|
I've attached a picture of the chair sitting beneath a wall light. Note that there is no shadow beneath the chair ( A ). Note the shadows cast by the same light at ( B ) and ( C ). |
|
|
The chair is not marked "noshadows". |
|
|
I put the chair in a map and it cast a shadow as expected. I can't explain what is happening in that screenshot. |
|
|
I attached another image, from bikerdude's work on Shadowhide's mission. Note that the small chair is throwing a shadow from the fireplace, but the problematic chair throws no shadow. Could you post a screenshot showing the chair casting a shadow? |

My image posted above is from w5_deceit, which is meant to play on 2.05. When I try it with SVN, the shadow appears. So something changed after 2.05 was released. Either the chair or the light, I guess. Since it works in SVN, I'll close this problem. |
