Blob shadows disappear when a unit fires

Post by knorke »

Blob shadows (from widget) disappear when a unit fires.
The shadow is gone as long as the projectile is alive, so I think it is the new dynamic projectile lights.
When many units fire the flickering is superannoying.

(also reported here but think it got lost)

In xta that does not happen so there must be some way.

Projectile lights also interfere with other widgets such as outline, etc etc.

I tried to make projlights and blob shadows nicer with their gl cleanup. I cant see the bug but if it still isnt fixed please report back. SVN testable on thorium host.

Just for record, this bug is still there.

Dyanmic Blob Shadows has now been removed, since the engine has its own shadows on by default.
