About
Better shadow control!

Source Shadows gives you control over the Source engine's dynamic render-to-texture shadows (RTT). While many maps overlook shadow settings, Source Shadows lets you create custom settings for each map, with a few extra options. You can adjust the usual settings like shadow color, shadow distance, and shadow direction. Plus, you can tweak additional settings to make shadows follow the nearest world light and set the shadow direction based on the dynamic sun of the map.

Source Shadows also provides a couple of client settings, which allow you to toggle first person shadows, door shadows, shadow quality, and more.

Compared to other shadow addons, Source Shadows is incredibly universal, not taxing, and easily changeable per-map.

the fps can be fixed with a few commands:
r_flashlightdepthres 512;
r_projectedtexture_filter 0.2;
mat_slopescaledepthbias_shadowmap 2;
mat_depthbias_shadowmap 0.000005;
