Hello!
I read that everything will cast shadows and it does, except my cones. I already named them different (also the textures) but it doesnt help.
Also the verges on the sand (which have CK like on essays sand) doesnt receive shadows( a tirewall is next to it so i can see that ) I already called it shad_verge but it also doesnt help.
Any suggestions please? Looks pretty ugly with this problems
Thanks in advance!!

Polygons mapped with textures with alpha channel will not receive shadows.
Ok thanks, hopefully you can fix this in beta 6.
You have and idea on the other problem?
And how can i can tell a objects that it should not cast shadow?:D
Just remove alpha channel and you'll be fine :)

What do you mean? Remove alpha channel on a verge? But then the verge is useless.
And the cones have no alpha channel. ;)
Yes I mainly referred to the cones. Concerning the verge it depends on how you built it, you could have also blend the texture itself or use bump map. It might be difficult though.. All in all, I don't think you will even notice shadow on cones while racing ;)
My cones have no alpha channel. And yes you won't notice it while racing but its a nice detail i want to have :P I mean, everything is casting shadows!
And how you mean it to blend the texture itself instead of alpha channel?
thx in advance
bump
Do you mean they are not createing a shadow or receive shadow, Have you tried to place them in a different place to see if they make a shadow somewhere else, can you rebuild them as a cone is i simple object to create.

They do not creating shadows. They are placed around the track, but non of the cones cast shadows. I also have 2 different cone styles, so i already build "antoher one". I already called them and their textures completly different but they just dont cast shadows, i have no fucking idea whats going wrong!
Also can someone tell me what can i do to force an object that it should not cast shadows? On some things its useless and ugly
make a shadow tga and model and use the decal prefix to add them to the track, it wont move around but you got a shadow
never thought of that great idea
Thanks but i dont want to improvise. The Main questions is: how can i make a object NOT casting shadows?
Please help piboso!

It is not possible at the moment.
Thanks for the answer! And how do you explain that my cones do not cast shadow?:(
Could be a model size related issue. There has to be something writen to stop small objects casting shadow or every small step curve would cast and could cause FPS issue. But that just my guess.
Thx for the answer. My cones are not very high poly, much more high polied objects cast shadow on my track....
sorry not the amount of polys, the pysical size of the object, A 10 meter high pole might cast a shadow a 1 meter high pole might not, i've never check it only a guess.
Ah ok. Well but on lonato/essay tracks the cone cast shadows!
Here two cones with great texture that show shadows in game

Actually, it IS possible. Adding the SKIDS prefix to an object's name should disable shadow casting.
cool, thanks!
