As well, shadows are based by texture yes, not model
This means making shadows from models is possible? If so, will this eliminate the SHADOW objects in cars and stuff?
It's only using textures for shadows, so vehicles will have realtime shadows based on that, e.g. it would shine through a window and create lighting in interior, and it would make wheels look round in their shwdows.

But still having a SHADOW would be a good idea I think, because it's normally used two shadows, one realtime and one "Premade" (normally with a projector) so having that object would eliminate the need for setting up the additional shadow?

I agree. It's a real-life effect called Ambient Occlusion. Noticed very well here:

Finally you followed my advice and removed Herobrine. Other than that, good job

Development Update
New Feature : shaders.txt
Code: Select all
MMClone Shaders Documentation
---------------------------------------------------------
Syntax:
texture name, shader name,parameters, values
Looks simple right? Looks. There are many complications to this.
Let's start with the Specular shader. The specular shader has the following parameters
_MainColor (Color) [Defaults to material color in PKG / white in PSDL]
_SpecColor (Color)
_Shininess (Float)
Lets say I want to have a really shiny texture with a blue colored specular.
First we have to define the parameters for SpecColor and Shininess
Let's do so.
rgb:_SpecColor
float:_Shininess
And now for the values
0 0 255
0.6
With these values, it's 40% shiny and 100% blue
To combine these into a single shader line, seperate them with |
example:
rgb:_SpecColor|float:_Shininess
and
0 0 255|1.0
Now let's put it all together:
mytexture,Specular,rgb:_SpecColor|float:_Shininess,0 0 255|1.0
Next question : What if I don't want to define any parameters
If you don't want to, you don't have to. Simply leave it blank like so
mytexture,Specular,,
Code: Select all
vpmustangyellow_ft,Specular,rgb:_SpecColor|float:_Shininess,255 0 0|0.0
vpmustangyellow_tpft,Specular,rgb:_SpecColor|float:_Shininess,0 255 255|0.0
vpmustangyellow_sd,Specular,rgb:_SpecColor|float:_Shininess,0 0 255|0.0

Development Update
-PSDL Loading time
halved. Yes you read that right, several code optimizations have lead to this.
-Sidewalks in intersections now have sides
Take block 214 from London, one of London's largest and most complicated blocks. The load time for the new PSDL loader = 75ms for this block
As well, phys.psdl loaded in JUST 20ms!

You know, when I usually read "time" and "halved" together, it sounds like a marketing trick or something.
But seriously, this is amazing!
