Steam Community :: Meeper's Dynamic Shadows (like CSM but not)

how do i make the shadows darker?

Goobert :3 26 Mar @ 5:24pm

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.

Splonk 8 Mar @ 11:17am

theres parts in construct and other maps were theres light or glitches on walls/ the lighting is going through walls like a line on top of the tunnels in construct/ basicllly lighting is weird, help to fix this?

acampbell830 28 Jan @ 5:53pm

This is good but.. The area around me is glowing like alot

Cold Cash Money Kid 19 Jan @ 1:52pm

You need to make a option to disable all the default shadows

Cold Cash Money Kid 19 Jan @ 1:41pm

Like CSM but, better it derserves 5 stars I played through the entire HL2 campaign with it RTX fr

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

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 25 Dec, 2024 @ 11:27am

it uses far less projected textures at once

marcus 25 Dec, 2024 @ 10:45am

how does this mod not affect performance heavily like other dynamic shadow mods?

Konami 13 Dec, 2024 @ 5:29pm

this sucks

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 13 Dec, 2024 @ 4:07am

did you reload the map? no idea why that would happen

Muchtoodog 10 Dec, 2024 @ 12:18pm

its still on despite me unsubscribing

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 12 Oct, 2024 @ 6:06pm

due to the rather cursed way this works under the hood yeah it is impossible

Petra 12 Oct, 2024 @ 8:20am

what's up with the fuckin render distance? is there a way to make anything above render distance use the regular lighting? or is that impossible

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 30 Sep, 2024 @ 5:14pm

some maps will look better but you can tweak the settings if it looks bad

dumb jujungas with glasses 30 Sep, 2024 @ 7:31am

yo bro does this addon go on every map??

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 26 Sep, 2024 @ 10:16pm

i think that would cook a lot of pcs

Cold Cash Money Kid 26 Sep, 2024 @ 7:18pm

Now just make a mod that makes every texture 2048x2048 for the people that can handle that i would turn down the texture quality to get it to 1024x1024

ФАЛЬШИВОМИНЕТЧИК 16 Sep, 2024 @ 4:17am

FPS mostly depends on the rendering distance. Set it to 4096, or 2048 if everything is deplorable

PORTABLE FRIDGE 30 Aug, 2024 @ 10:12pm

bro my fps is fucked

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 21 Aug, 2024 @ 3:30pm

that sounds like the filter actually, source engine shadow filter is usually pretty grainy on nvidia gpus only i think. mine does that too

mreg 21 Aug, 2024 @ 1:15pm

nevermind, it had something to do with the draw distance strangely enough

mreg 21 Aug, 2024 @ 1:12pm

for some reason my shadows have like a sort of grainy texture at the end of them, is that because i set my resolution too high?

Cold Cash Money Kid 22 Jul, 2024 @ 6:14pm

Yeah i just tried a map from HL2 Sandbox it did not work
Although nice job

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 22 Jul, 2024 @ 6:09pm

it should work on most maps but there are some where it wont

Cold Cash Money Kid 22 Jul, 2024 @ 4:01pm

Is this compatible on every map??

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 21 Jul, 2024 @ 2:49pm

yeah there arent as many projected textures

fortnitewarzone 20 Jul, 2024 @ 10:49am

so this dont make you lag as much as csm

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 12 Jul, 2024 @ 6:50am

sounds like it cant even make the projected textures, im not sure what could cause that so i would test any lighting addons you might have

/LazzArouS\ 12 Jul, 2024 @ 2:55am

i tried with the settings you put in the description in gm_construct and the shadows still don't work properly,everything just becomes darker

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 11 Jul, 2024 @ 8:28am

maybe try changing the bright/dark settings? if not i would guess that there are too many shadow casting lamps on the map since the default limit is only 8

/LazzArouS\ 10 Jul, 2024 @ 11:54pm

I set the shadow quality to high but it still won't work,also i don't have any fog addons,am i doing something wrong?

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 4 Jul, 2024 @ 3:56pm

something like that, i couldnt find a way to get the lighting angles from any light_environment entity as a fallback either. whats annoying is even if you spawn a sun editor the angles dont work if the map doesnt have an env_sun in the first place.

⸸ₓナイトメアₓ⸸ 4 Jul, 2024 @ 1:01pm

i assume not since this mod adds a projected texture thats attached to a env_sun and since some maps have none it picks a default path on the X-axis?

⸸ₓナイトメアₓ⸸ 4 Jul, 2024 @ 12:58pm

are there ways to get gmod to predict a sun path like csm? or nah.

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 4 Jul, 2024 @ 11:03am

i think thats caused by the map creator not placing an env_sun entity. im assuming csm just guesses the sun direction if one isnt present but it would probably look incorrect either way if there isnt one

⸸ₓナイトメアₓ⸸ 4 Jul, 2024 @ 10:49am

now that i think of it, is there a way to fix when the shadows are completely horizontal? it's 100% map dependent but csm never has this issue and was wondering if you knew of a fix.

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 3 Jul, 2024 @ 9:23am

yeah id say its pretty lightweight compared to others

JUλN 3 Jul, 2024 @ 9:21am

is this mod well optimized? or is it gonna cause my laptop a nuclear reaction

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 3 Jul, 2024 @ 9:06am

thx m8

Cold Cash Money Kid 3 Jul, 2024 @ 9:00am

Nice job this deserves 5 stars

JUλN 25 Jun, 2024 @ 1:38pm

first person shadows will be lit but my laptop will be lit on fire too

Thuggin 19 Jun, 2024 @ 12:35pm

wish they could update gmod to the strata source engine

Eien | エターニティー 12 Jun, 2024 @ 8:00pm

understood

MeeperTheGreat99 [author] 12 Jun, 2024 @ 7:53pm

perhaps one day when i figure out a solution that isnt jank

Eien | エターニティー 12 Jun, 2024 @ 7:39pm

Any chance you'll add First Person Shadow to this?
