Hello everybody.
As you all know, calculating actual shadows on a giant map with thousands of doodads takes for years, if you use the "Calculate Shadow Map" tool.
Last time I did it, it took a whole week (and I even removed every doodad that doesn't neccesarily need a shadow and then imported the shadowmap back to the unmodified map) - since then, the number of doodads in my map has doubled and I'm afraid that the whole Shadow Map Calculation will never work out.
Also, as I am using the alpha tile quite a lot, the whole shadow map calculation stuffy is messy as hell anyway.
So what I am requesting is some kind of editor plugin (or standalone tool) that allows to manually draw the shadowmap of the extracted map.
Is it possible?
