I got a little problem, playing with parameters didn't help:

May be I missed something, or my GeForce 6600 GT is old enough to handle this??
Plus, are there anyways to avoid increasing "clip_near" to get nice shadows? With "1" they are terrible..

SO??

That`s normal for PSSM shadows. You should tweak the variables in the shadows.c to get better shadows. Play with the shadow resolution (1024x1024 recommended), the pssm_splitweight (I use 0.0009). And design your level in a way that you don`t get graphical problems. Play with the sun angle, sun_elevation and so on.

OK, I got it thank you, but what about the clip_near?

I think that`s a bug. I can confirm that, too.

I like the textures in the picture

1 split is not enough for pssm shadows. You should use more than 1 like 3, it is ideal. However, your shadow is not soft. You should also use nice filtering algorithms to soft edges.

You can see my pssm

The pssm shadows above, aren't made by me, they are coming with gamestudio.
Could you upload you shadows as a contribution for a community?

My pssm is not different from gamestudio. I did not put any extra filter or something. Difference is coming from their view_to_split function. I wrote my own split function because there is shimmering effect on normal pssm. After i stop shimmering, i ended project because i can add improvements later but you can also look this one.

PS: There are no models in the project because it takes a lot of sizes

I'm getting error:
