No player shadow shader
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2008 7:34 pm
This is for Quake 3.
I must be going crazy. Isn't there some way to disable the player's shadow on a surface of a shader? I have a flowing glowy lava texture that when the player stands on it, he casts a shadow on it. That looks odd because the lava should be emitting light, therefore shouldn't have shadows on it. I'm sure I can fix it using the 'sort' function, but I'm certain that will cause other issues with other shaders being sorted in the wrong order. I swear there's a simpler way that I can't seem to recall.
Here's the shader:

Here's the shader:
