I'm bumping this mainly because it's an insanely useful tutorial
I support all these fine people requesting stickyage. Helped me quite a bit.
Sticky this bitch!

(Sorry for crappy english)

You can't. You're restricted by the graphics card in the note-book, sadly.

But in another games I can turn on dynamic shadows.
Source is just... Very restrictive sometimes.
no seriously some mod needs to sticky this
Can someone help me please? I looked through this tutorial right and here's what I did. Opened Garrys Mod and opened console in the menu, put in r_shadowcolor 255 255 255, r_projectedtexture_filter 0.2, r_flashlightdepthres_4096 and when I shined a lamp on a barrel in a dark room it came out all grainy on the object and there was no shadow coming from behind the barrel. Help anyone?
I would really like to see this stickyed, it becomes hard to find this and threads like this now the search is restricted to goldies.

Did you mess with the near and far in the console?
can't sticky, but I added it to the rules and resources page for y'all
I tried these commands and now none of my lamps work in game. I can spawn them but they do not illuminate anything at all, only my flash light does. How can i fix this, or at least reset it back to default shadows?

Delete the config.cfg in the cfg folder.
Default color for shadows?
[QUOTE=FoamSword;46090429]Default color for shadows?[/QUOTE]
Black?
good tip
awesome :)
[QUOTE=FoamSword;46090429]Default color for shadows?[/QUOTE]
I usually have invisible. What about you?
Could someone tell me the console command to disable just the shadows being cast from lamps for example? The r_shadowcolor 255 thing command doesn't seem to work for me for some reason. I know mat_fullbright 0 disables all of the lightning, but i just want to disable the lightning from the lamps. I think i may have come up with a simple way of editing soft shadows. Take 2 pics. One with crisp shadows, and one without the shadow (which is why i'm trying to figure out how to disable them) and then erase with 0% hardness the edges of the crisp shadow layer to get smoother shadows.

Maybe you could try setting depthbias_shadowmap to something really high? Like 1 or 10? Just a hunch, I think I tried it once and it had your desired effect.

you could try setting all of the lamp FOV to 179.9. that way lamps wont cast shadows, though it might cause some other lighting problems.
hey i wondering if their is a command to get rid of this shadow from my prop hunt server. when ever a prop has a model enabled from the pointshop and you flash a flashlight on it it looks like this

anyone got a fix? this what happened when i put the settings it at the top of thread
Install life and click "smooth shadow edges" it should be fixin' that.
Oh, thanks a lot dude, now i have cool shadows and i can make cool screenshots (not a professional thing...).[IMG]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/620718073395332396/DA9D4C8CC7E0001C0664E31A66806641DCE21E8A/[/IMG]

:D
So... Will this work on TF2?
How exactly do you do this, through console or launch options?
Finally I can use my light on dark ass surf maps where I can't see shit. I hope this clientside
Sorry for necro, but what exactly happened between Valve and NVidia years ago that denied us perfect shadows?
An alternative is Still in the works, going to be done within 30 days
