RA2 seems to have handicaped Shadows, when compared to TS.

Oh cool, I'm glad this is re-enabled. If I knew this was how it worked I'd have done it ages ago. #Tongue Thanks for sharing though.

Pretty damn cool, altough I fear this might be bit limited i.e can't have different shadows for urban pavement cliffs...

I just realized RA2 NEVER had cliff shadows! OMG, that's what looked so wrong over the years.

Thank you, you are a god! =)

EDIT: Mind if I ask for some screenshots of this in normal RA2/YR?
Also, post bigger screenshots of your mod with these, if you want us to get the feeling on how the cliff shadows look in general with the scenery.

For urban cliffs you can attach specific shadow frame to tile as animation, just as waterfalls are done. I did few tests before i have realized that old logic still works.

What is the function of ShadowTiles tag? I can't figure it out by myself. Confused
Edit: Never mind. I've figured it out.

see code in first post.
there is an example for normal cliffs and water cliffs in temperat.ini. Do the same for snow theater in snow.ini.

This is so wonderful. I never realised that the shadow of the cliffs in RA2 are missing. It's pity that we don't have urban cliffs for use.
