When creating a terrain, and placing it in the level as a model...

Is there a way to draw shadows of entities on it? Or does it have to be in the HMP format?

I don't know if this is a good idea, but you can trace the position of the terrainground under the entity and create a tga-shadow-sprite on this place...

If stencil shadows are enabled, shadows should also work on mdl entities...

Code:

---

shadow_stencil = on;
  

---

It worked but Stencil Shadows are a bit ugly... From the models top-most point to the ground there seems to be some "shadow" attached.

Stencils need closed meshes to function without artifacts and they are a big drag on performance.

Hi
Create a block the same size as the terrain and place it under the terrain
give it a standard texture, and naturally shaded mode, if the terrain is too big
put more blocks together, to me works perfect..
