Heya, dunno if this is how I'm supposed to use this or not, but what would be the ideal way to set the color and should we put it in this page? If we set it to the ambience color of the light_environment then the shadows are consistent with map geometry but will stand out if other lights are present. If we set it to default we get shadows that look kinda generic, but are constantly mediocre rather than sometimes excellent. ClikOnVDC (talk) 17:29, 11 August 2022 (PDT)

hmm

In at least Day of Defeat: Source, if the current map and no previous maps have contained this entity, shadow color will be inherited from light_environment's _ambient KV.

How is that done ? The _ambient kv is used only by vrad isn't it ? Where is it saved afterwards ? --Nescius (talk) 17:52, 8 May 2025 (PDT)
