Please download the zip file, do a backup, install&test this resource with a clean install of TGE 1.5.2 or TGEA 1.8.1
There is 2 directory by version, original & modified, used modified in order to install resource(copy/paste file on clean install or merge for sources which already modified)
Used original in order to restore to a clean install.
NOTE: Relighting is longer with this ressource but it work also be patient in this case, only the first relightning has this drawback.

recompile et it's ok.
Add $pref::TStatic::renderReplicantShadow = "1" or "0"; in prefs.cs client side.
In editor you can notice the new fields for shadow with the TSStatic object, if change the sun parameters with shadowCanMove & shadowCanAnimate parameter activated you can see the shadow which change in realtime.

Try increase shadowMaxVisibleDistance & shadowIntensity, check your $Pref parameters which concerned Shadow in pref.csIt would works.

It's strange, I click on it and it works, maybe just that the popup blocker prevents the link to operate sometimes. Can you check this please.Otherwise I can send it by mail.

Thanks for the resource Jean-louis. I have implemented polysoup in TGE and I'm wondering if this is why I'm not seeing any shadows? Would it be difficult to port for such?

If you have installed the resource and you do not see the shadow I think it's the tuning parameters that you need to review, the polysoup code impact on collisions not on casting shadows.

Okay, maybe I've used the resource wrong. But I got the same options in TGEA 1_8_1 as show in the pictures. However, no matter how much I play with it it doesn't seem to do anything other then make odd glitched spots on the map around the objects. I didn't have any crashes, just could get it to do anything with shadows.

"maybe just that the popup blocker prevents the link to operate sometimes"
I think that may have been the case it actually took me 3 times for the link to appear, anyways thanks for the resource!
