Disabling Shadows in GPL...?

by John P. Wilso » Mon, 26 Oct 1998 03:00:00

Hello,

I just read a post about the new GPL demo, and something about disabling the
cars' shadows.  I noticed in PLAYER.INI (I think) that there is a "SHADOW
TYPE = 1" line.  Does anyone know if changing it to another number changes
the look, and "0" turns it off altogether?  Would this help framerates at
all (I'm not hurting that much, just wondering)?

Thanks!
