ZDoom

Graf, what about the option to manually exclude/include/link dynamic lights and sectors with a bitmask or something? [url=http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=46056&p=775560&hilit=bitmask+shadow#p775539]You floated that idea yourself a while back[/url] and haven't quite "No'd" it yet ;)

Wouldn't work for "real" dynamic shadows but would definitely be useful for other effects such as "light blocking", especially if the bitmask is able to be edited at runtime.

over 10 seconds..

The problem is that this kind of stuff requires data structures that simply are not there. Remember, Vavoom requires a GLVIS lump to handle this - but building such a thing for larger maps takes forever. Aside from that it also put some heavy drag on the engine.

Yes something like that.

I got 'No' but I don't find what exactly is the problem.

No idea what precisely you want. If you mean walls casting shadows, the answer is no.

I don't know if this has been asked before, but...
I don't get Vavoom to work and wonder if this can be applied using GZDoom shaders.
