REAL TIME SHADOWS, HOW TO RUN THEM

[Guardian]

REAL TIME SHADOWS:

What does this do? The Mut. allows the engine to produce real time shadows from the light sources. Can support up to 3 shadows on each player and ZED. There are two ways of installing this.


1st option to install. Install by Steam Work Shop. You can find the Mut here. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... me+shadows

To Install:
1. Subscribe to the Mut.
2. Then Start Killing Floor
3. On the main screen wait until the Mut downloads, when its finished it will say so in the upper right corner.
4. Exit Killing Floor.
5. Start Killing Floor
6. Go to Solo Play, and go to Mutators. Add RealTime Shadows and edit its settings.
6a. In the settings, set how many shadows you want(can be up to 3), set detail, and BE SURE to UNSELECT the Disabled option.
7. After you have your settings, to be safe, go and load the solo game, then exit.
8. Start Killing Floor again, and join one of my servers, all servers will be running the Mut.




2nd option to install. Don't download the Mut by Steam WorkShop.

1. Just join one of my servers, it will download it by cache.
2. Exit Killing Floor and go to your Killing Floors System Directory. Usually found here.

c:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Killing Floor/System

3. Open the ini file KFRealtimeShadows, if you have extentions on it will be KFRealtimeShadows.ini

4. The following options will be in the file


[KFRealtimeShadows.KFRealtimeShadowsMut]
ShadowResolution=0
ShadowsPerPawn=3
bDynamicLightShadows=False
bSunShadows=True
bRagdollShadows=True
bDisabled=True


What each does:
Shadow Resolution=is detail of shadown.
0=low
1=med
2=high

ShadowPerPawn=How many shadows are produced per player and ZED, 3 is the max.

Next 3 options, are what shadows are made by. I turned my Dynamic Light Shadows on.

bDisabled= Make sure change this from True to False.


Here are my settings:
[KFRealtimeShadows.KFRealtimeShadowsMut]
ShadowResolution=2
ShadowsPerPawn=3
bDynamicLightShadows=True
bSunShadows=True
bRagdollShadows=True
bDisabled=False


NOTE: The Real Time Shadows Mut Will only work also, If FULL SHADOWS is enabled in the video settings.


Thanks,
Guardian
