MCP Warhead shadows

Post » Tue May 08, 2012 4:26 am

There was a beta for 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 of Morrowind code patch in which object could cast shadows, in fact I think there were multiple.
The code was scrapped but beta versions were released.

After studying the forum for a bit through the search function I'm sure it's one of the earlier betas released.

If you have some old beta versions I'll take it Via PM so as to not annoy Hrnchamd
Thanks

Note: I don't care how buggy it is.
As a beta collector I like to preserve and play with cut features and this is the closest to a Morrowind beta I can get!

Static object shadow casting was introduced by MGE XE, not the Morrowind Code Patch. Any version of MGE XE will give you the shadows.

Look for topic: 'Shelter From Magnus Blaze' for the current thread. You'll prbably need to contact Hrnchamd directly to get older versions since he only links to the most recent version.


[edit] Aha! Actually you're talking about the prototype that extended detailed shadows to statics which was indeed part of some early MCP betas (definitely v1.5).

Indeed, there was a shadows beta in MCP awhile back. While it might be fun to tool around with, it isn't exactly playable as that particular patch caused extreme performance issues and extremely frequent crashing. Native shadows from within Morrowind appeared to be unlikely to work. I thought I still had an archive of it somewhere, though, but can't seem to locate it.

If you wish to play with shadows, however, use MGE XE. It's brilliant -- and contains a number of improvements over MGE.

I know where MGE XE is...
This is completely different.
It's Morrowind code patch with cut features....
