Um I mean I thought decal shadows are "normal" shadows that the engine uses and stencil shadows are better, if not than sorry.

Which Versionnumber of A6 do you have?
It should work with the later updates.

I just now read in the manual that this kind of error happens when someone uses open meshes. My cupboard is an open mesh so thats why it do the penetrating shadow error. The manual also says that I should "create a closed mesh LOD model or shadow model for shadow casting". Well, how do I do this??

You need to load your model into MED and click on test mesh. It should tell you what and how many are open. You then to to merge or weld the vertices that are open. If you are still haveing problems I think there is a WED tutorial around somewhere.

Ok I understand ,but this is a cupboard that are open in two places where the glass is supposed to be. If I would merge/weld the vertices together and create a closed mesh it wouldn't be a cupboard anymore just a big box. :S

My question is, how to use an open mesh (like this cupboard)without the shadow penetrate the wall?

Try putting another block in front of the wall where the shadow is penetrating.

If that stops the problem then there might be something wrong with the wall or maybe even the texture you are useing. (eg: Could be an alpha problem)
