POLL: Removing the "WH" Shadows...

[Prosciutto]

Sam also has simply shadows .. Ain't this enough ?

Do you mean those little circles under the feet of character? That's not a shadow.. Well, it would be if there was only a single source of light placed like 8000 km straight above his head... But it's not a real "shadow" xD

[Scratch]

Sorry, with "complex shadows" in my previous post I meant shadow type >= 2. (0 = none, 1 = "blob", 2 = single light shadow cast, 3 = multi light shadow cast)

DirectX? I play the game in OGL...

Adding dynamic shadows to OpenGL would also mean it'd have to be implemented in DirectX, and vise versa.

Thanks. It would be nice from you also if you replied to my other questions

10 of people voted NO .. WHAT THE HELL ?

Yea, we who voted 'no' think we're smarter than the rest of you. We figured that since the 'yes' voters won't use shadows, we, the 'no' voters can take advantage of the rest of you and use it. You really think that's it?

The reason I voted no, is the same reason I'd never play with those shitty white walls stuff. Just look at those screens, the game looks completely dead without real textures. However, I couldn't care less if someone is using white walls, or if it will be implemented in REV.

And the way I've been using shadows in Sam since day one is also a part I love that gives it a great feel. If it's possible to fix so shadows won't show through walls and shit, that's all good. But removing them that shadow mode completely would definitely decrease the feel of the Sam I know.

I voted no coz i want them fixed, not removed

But removing them that shadow mode completely would definitely decrease the feel of the Sam I know.

+1

Nope, not just a mod.

Than what?...
All changes are deactivating a command, deactivating one other (shadows ), solve *already-solved* minor bugs....
Maybe i'm wrong, but at first i was amazed and enthusiastic bout this, but after reading more thread and polls i'm not anymore

Thanks for the great feedback, petter

The polls here are only the smaller changes that could potentially affect gameplay. You haven't seen the current state of Revolution yet.

+1, they just need to fix a bug, not to remove shadows.

[Eupho Salvadore]

Missclicked sirs. Shadows must be removed from the game completely.

[Aberration]

everybody is hunting shadows now like in former days witches and unbelievers were being hunted.

But now I also think that it's the best not to change the original gameplay. and shadows are a part from that game from the beginning and removing them WILL change the gameplay.
Maybe shadows are a bug but the jump tricks, too. Don't change the gameplay. Let Sam stay Sam!


And furthermore you guys all forget that shadows are a counter hack for the third person wh. The only "advantage" of shadows is to see third person players abusing their camera view to stay behind a wall and see what happens around the corner.
It's only fair for First Person players to be able to see these wallhackers, too.

I don't get it, how did Croteam not notice this jump "bug" when they were testing? I mean if they played at least once on Little Trouble for testing they'd notice it..

So many bugs they aren't noticed even if this game was created for COOP, there are hundreds of bugs in COOP.

Ok, I feel I start to undertand those who voted no .. When I've been voting, I even wasn't close of thinking about this camping thing. Though "campers" never were irritating me enough, I am going to say: I won't care if it's deleted or not. This really would change gameplay pretty much .. Anyway, if it were 2006 - 2007, it would have been 30-5 for "yes" imo.

[Forsaken]

[-L/u/K/3-]

This cant be the real Forsaken!!! IP CHECK plz Omi!
