Hi Hive,

everytime i open a new map with a model its just a dark dot as shadow under the pefectly loaded unit in the worldeditor. ingame( testing) its a beautiful shadow of the unit showing under the unit that have fitting scale.
as soon as i do the exact same model, with the same values+ paths it only shows a ugly shadow dot under the fully loaded unit instead of an awesome looking model-like shadow.
Are there any options in the world editor that caused me to break this in the map? The shadow of the unit is displayed faithfully on the blank map without anything.
blank map = 1 my map = 2 exact same values

Isn't 1.png a screenshot of Reforged HD graphics while 2.png shows classic SD?
i checked in the Map preferences and it says SD + In Options SD is toggeled on. So is this shadow only possible with SD?
How to let him use Reforged Graphics only? When i place a Peasant its the Classic one.
it seems like you hit it, iot dont show the shadow since he still loads HD Graphics. Is this doomed since i cant change it anymore?

What kind of shadow is that? How is it being attached to the unit?
it was a witchking of angmar skin. It was for sure enhanced new Graphics, loked awesome. in the worldeditor blank map imported it had a clean shaped shadow of the witchking when flying. in my map its only a ugly round dot as shadow.
