Title: Props don't have shadows
Post by: ๖Ϝцzsioᴎ on January 27, 2013, 05:43:44 AM
I've only just recently had this problem, at first the shadows started flickering, I thought that gmod fucked up on something and that if I restarted the game it would be fine. After the restart, no shadows at all on props, every other game the props work perfectly, but the shadows on props will not work at all on Gmod, no matter what shadow setting I put it at, and no matter what map that has props...
Here are some screenshots

Notice the barrels

Some more screens

Table has no shadow at all

Along with the chairs

Help would seriously be appreciated, this is annoying the shit out of me.

try buildcubemaps
or vanilla GMod install (rename garrysmod to garrysmod2 or s/t)

r_shadows_gamecontrol 1 (try values -1, 0 ,1)

That's the only thing I could imagine being the problem but this command is a cheat (according to console).


And maybe in that specific map, there could be a shadow_control that disables the stock prop shadows. Which you cannot change clientside.

It happens in any map with props, I first noticed it with dm_island17.

Sorry for double post, but I've made some progress, it only happens on most maps, and I'm not the only one with this problem, shadows on ttt_alt_borders flicker on the props at an angle, and some if not all CSS maps work fine, lock because this is a possible garry fail.
And because no one else is posting :P
