Hi there,

I started playing around with the editor, now I recognized, some of my placed objects cast shadows by default, others don`t seem (might also be I did something I cant remember http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif).

Now, how do I recalculate all the shadows for the map, haven`t found anything in the editor.

Here`s a picture of what I mean, you see the one house makes a shadow, the others don`t.

Found out myself, you can set the shadowsmaps for each object in the attributes.

Exactly http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Set:
3 - big objects that can be seen from large distance
2 - medium objects
1 - small ojects
0 - very small objects
-1 - no shadows (set this when object is already in building's shadow - in this case object won't be checked if it can cast shadows so it's really good for FPS http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif )
