Shadows.

[Name_n]

How do I get rid of the shadows in the world editor? I replaced the terrain on another map with another texture, but the shadow remained. I clicked 'Edit' and clicked Shadows, but the shadows remain in-game.

Any way to get rid of these unwanted 'shadows'?

Is it unit shadows or terrain shadows? You can turn off shadows in world editor if it isn't in 'V' viewmode (hit v then p to see, if unpathable areas go purple it isn't in v mode. Then go to 'view' and turn off shadows.

If it's unit shadows then change the field 'Art - shadow image (unit)' to none in the object editor

If I take off shadows under 'view' in World Editor, does it take those shadows off in game? I want to get rid of these shadows, not take them off from my view

They are terrain shadows most likely

I don't think there's an easy way to do that... You'll have to remove the shadow-texture for the map. This requires some mixing and tixing, and I don't know how :S
Try using a MPQ-Editor to find the shadow-texture for the map.

File -> Calculate Shadows and Save Map

Pretend you're defragging your hard drive.

That will create the shadows, not remove them...

It will remove the ones that shouldn't be there. Any others shadows can be disabled via the object editor + recalculation.
