Suggestion title: Dynamic Character Shadows


Suggestion description: I have noticed, GunZ never had dynamic character shadows. Is this possible? If it is could you guy's add this in. This would add a little more detail to the game.

Since GunZ isn't very high performance usage, maybe this can be a thing.

What I mean by dynamic character shadows, basically it will show a full shadow of your character on the ground or wherever you are standing. At the moment it's just a basic circle shadow.

Example: (Just an photoshop example)

Many people are complaining about FPS problems, this might get things worse for some people unless its optional.

Yes, of course this would be a optional feature. Which would give the options for standard shadow or dynamic shadow.

Mock up with Photoshop(its terrible)

And find the ghost

That wouldn't. Since the light sources would just go right through your character and wouldn't give any shadows. Though if there are shadows, would be little scary . I believe the current shadow system is just 'fake' shadows. But I may be wrong. Only way to find out if you go fully invisible and look at your feet and see if you see the 2 basic foot shadows.

I don't know shit about programming or whatever, but wouldn't this mean that they would have to customize/edit all the maps there is?

When we use invisible avatar, then you can still see the shadow

Unfortunately such thing requires heavy rewriting of the engine. We don't have the time nor manpower to do that.
