Description
WARNING
maps without a shadow_control entity might cause your shadow to flicker


automatic firstperson shadows, as good as whatever an official implementation would look like

vastly superior to cl_drawownshadow which suffers from quality issues [github.com] and doesn't support weapons


Features that are cool
  • Shadows for weapons, not just the player
  • Shadow is offset according to CLegs if it is present
  • Extremely untested offset support for some weapon bases


Convars
Name
Purpose
cl_firstperson_shadow
0/1 - Enables firstperson shadow rendering.
cl_firstperson_shadow_yaw
0/1 - Whether aim_yaw pose parameter should be applied or not. Disabled by default as it looks a bit weird.


Incompatible with:

FYI, when using NVG base with the Splinter Cell addon, your playermodel appears in first person and completely obstructs your vision until you restart the world. I narrowed it down to this mod. The problem even occurs when entering certain LVS vehicles and leaving.

it happened after the arc9 update

cool to see it working when i never even tested the offset code LOL

i added the model calls back, might be worse for perf but im too lazy to test with vprof

what happened to player shadow? it worked fine :c

can you bring it back somehow?
that shadow casting on the walls made the character shadow immersive when it was reacting to the light

i got rid of the ENT:DrawModel calls which did nothing except make that work

this mod used to show my shadow on the walls when a light was shining behind my back but it's not doing that anymore. any ideas?
