It's bugged me for the longest time, but can we please have shadows on trapdoors and all other floor tiles(Whatever other ones are in JtRH). It wouldn't be that hard to code, as the trapdoors would have the same shadow key as floor tiles. Not much "Puzzle Potential", but it would look a lot cleaner and more realistic.

But trapdoors have patterns on, and if someone wanted to mod the trapdoors (even though you cant) then they wouldnt be able to, because they would have to nchange every single colour on the trapdoor to darker for the shadow, not to mention the fact that you'd need to do the same thing with all the floor tiles with trapdoors.

It's a really anoying idea. I know.

It would be just like the floor tiles - If you want shadows, you can add them on. If not, you can just copy the normal one onto every tiles in the Bitmap. Easy as pie.

Wow, I think I'll have to start calling you (and some other people) Foreshadow Boy, mighty sidekick of...uhhh...foreshadowing! Wackhead is correct in that this is more difficult to implement than it might seem at first glance, but Erik and I thought up some snazzy ways a while back that this might be done. We'll soon see how this turns out.

Why has this thread got a mini-sword on? Is this the official symbl from now on for things that are going to be in JtRH?

The sword icon means something is being worked on, such as a bug that is being fixed, or needs to be fixed.

It shouln't be too hard, at least if you were using the old engine anyway, but thank you very much for that!!
