I figuerd out how to get real dynamic shadows on entity objects like in Doom3!! Looks great makes everything look more real and beats the stoopid circle blob under the objects.

This is all you have to do:
1.Go to were you store your FPS.
2.Open your FPS "floder" in your Program Files.
3.Click on the file named Setup.
4.Read the third option down, should say dynamicshadows=0.
5.Change this to dynamicshadows=1.

Then run one of your games and see the amazing shadows!!!!
Why this was not defult set to 1 you got me.
This is difrent then having the Dynamic box checked in the build options! That is for shadowing on the onject itself which is different!
Good Luck whith your super good looking game! Don't call me a noob if everyone already knew about this lol.

Well you are all welcome!! One thing to note though. With the dynamicshadows set to 1 games with a lot of entities, and levels that are very very big, seem to not work sometimes. At least for me. So you might have to take out some entities to get this to work.

Check out the attachment below to see a pic to show the difference for those that don't know what I'm talkin about:
-Notice the shadows on the ground and on the entities from other entities!-

-Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die.

I did not have to do a full build game, I just ran a test level, worked fine. If you try but get a blank black screen, your level might be too big and might have to many entities. At least that is why I think it won't work on some of my bigger levels, I will have to mess around with it more.

Hay lets try putting some of the other 0 to 1 in the other optoins in the setup file to see what happens....

yes... build build build... never use test game anyways.... it has more bugs (or absence of bugs). If you really want to know how your game runs, use Build Game.

And this thread gets made every other month. I forgot the original person... guess I will have to search for it. (I think it may be conner)

Yeah, the reason is that it slows down the framerate extremly much. You can have a couple of dynamic entities but then <BAM>! Maybe you can have more entities with dynamic shadows when Rik...oops, were not supposed to say that...
