Title: When I place an object next to "the great divide" fence, I get a shadow...??
Post by: Azrael on 2007 August 20, 09:50:59
Anyone else experience the "(half)wall of shadow" that appears alongside an object placed next to a 'great divide' fence [the little border meant to separate two different floors (i.e., from carpet to linoleum)]???

I explain: I've never noticed this, but... I placed a square section of carpet over wood just around my sofa and entertainment center, and surrounded it with the border. upon rotating the screen a bit, I noticed that there was something like a transparent-black fence right where the border met the edge of an object (in this case, a recliner, unreclined, and a bookcase. to me, it would appear it's a lighting error of sorts, causing the objects to cast shadows upon the 'fence' I just placed... even though it's only an inch or two off the ground... I DO have Gunmod's Radiance lighting (MTS2) and Numenor's lighting hack to go along with, and am running all expansions plus GLS and FFS. The only other hacks I have really are Flying Fish Systems ones...  also, I've just noticed I have nearly the same problem when placing nect to walls... hmmm...

No, I haven't noticed that. I suspect Gunmod's lighting hack.
The divider works as a room separator so the lighting hack would end its light at it.

I get those too, especially chairs.  Not currently using Gunmods lighting hack, haven't gotten around to install it.

Every Fence used indoors and with Walls up causes Wallshadows from Objects to get visible. The Game sees Fences as Walls.

I kind of figured that was the case... any chance someone could fix that..? I apologize if this isn't the right place to post a request, but...
I mean, I would think that's kind of broken, wouldn't you agree?

Numenor over at MTS2 seems to be pretty good at fixing weird shadows -- you might want to leave a request for him (her?) there.

Numenor is definitely male.

Windkeeper (formerly at MTS2, now at TSR) has also done lots of shadow fixes, but I'm not sure if she takes requests.

I think Windkeeper has more or less retired.
A shame really; she is brilliant.
