This adds projected texture shadows that look pretty good most of the time. The shadows may be disabled or configured in the Meeper tab of the spawnmenu. Some settings require you to disable then re-enable shadows to apply them.

There is also a section for server owners to override shadow brightness and darkness values. See below.

WARNING: SHADOWS WILL ONLY BE VISIBLE WHEN YOUR GMOD SHADOWS ARE SET TO HIGH
WARNING 2: ANY FOG RELATED ADDONS (might) MESS THIS UP

You will have to adjust brightness and darkness for different maps. The default configuration is for gm_construct. Some tested example presets are shown below:

gm_construct - 1000 bright, 1 dark
gm_flatgrass - 1000 bright, 1 dark
gm_ultrabox - 100 bright, 10 dark

how do i make the shadows darker?

that does not work. it just uses both meeper and CSM as the shadow reselution settings conflict.

I found a way to remove the default shadows:
Download csm (dont worry you wont use the shadows)
Enable it
Now set all cascades to 0 (this will remove sunlight so go into meeper settings and set brightness higher)

Splonk, Its a Source Engine limitation. I have that problem too but I cant solve it so far.

Any way to change the sun's height? on some maps it's kinda broken because there's more map above the map so the ground of that map shows up as shadow on the main map
