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.

Why does this not show the weapon shadow when first person shadows are on?

Habibi-chan 21 Oct @ 3:28pm

i have both this mod and CSM enabled, for some reason i have to disable then re-enable this mod's shadows every time i load a world for them to show up alongside CSM. CSM gets rid of shadows for every light source besides sunlight, so i pair this mod with CSM because it brings back those indoor lights that CSM removes.

if possible, could you make this mod compatible with CSM?

@Goggles, there is unfortunately no shadow angle limit, so the best fix for this is to increase the “Shadow Shorten Factor” in the client settings.

is there a way to fix the shadow looking super long in certain angles?

Nevermind, I've fixed my problem by defaulting all the addon's shadow settings and then switching the shadows in the graphics setting to low and then high again, which fixed the problem I was having!
