I can't remove shadows of mos eisley buildings I tried using blender to export new meshes with "tex face" button on but it didn't remove them it just made them black. Is there some easy way to remove the shadows that I'm not aware of? I tried messing with ingame video settings, zero editor lighting and I disabled effect shadows inside tat2.fx file but the shadows are persistent Please help, thanks

go into a modeling program and remove the shadowvolume from the msh. make sure there is no msh.option file with -hiresshadow.

To remove all shadows you can go into the fx file and under shadows make intensity 1.0.

Removing the sv will not help for big objects. I have a shadow or a unit (just a black circle), but there is no sv and no hireshadow

I have successfully removed shadows from objects before, big or small, and they no longer show up when shadows are set on low or high. Units, on the other hand, will still have a low resolution shadow show up when shadows are set on low, regardless of whether or not they had a shadow to begin with.

Using a hex editor to remove the shadow MODL chunk from a model would be another good/easy method.

I tried hexeditor thing and I just removed anything that had word "shadow" in it (well I changed it to 00's) but when munging I got modelmunge error or something and then the objects disappeared from game lol

It would be best to just remove the chunk completely.

If you want to, just follow this tutorial with the following modifications:

• For Step 2, open up the model in which you want to remove the shadow from instead, obviously.
• For Step 3, the NAME should have either shadow or sv_ in it.
• For Step 5, instead of Ctrl + C, do Ctrl + X instead to remove/cut.
• Skip Step 6.
• For Step 7 and Step 8, change those + (addition) signs to - (subtraction) signs.
