Shadow Quality

Click here regarding U18 Update 2. UPDATE (March 16th, 2024): Current iteration is v26. However, v22 has sharper close shadows on foot, at the cost of some more artifacts at very shallow illumination angles. To reiterate, this is a modification of "GraphicsConfiguration.xml" proper, not the...

Been a long time since I've updated this thread, but since U14 has moved 3.8.x into legacy and there are unlikely to be any significant changes to GraphicsConfiguration.xml going forward (indeed it's been largely unchanged since 3.3), now seems like a good time for a possibly final update.

Attached is v10 of my Legacy shadow tables, which are very similar to v9, but I've also gotten around to correcting all the tab stops that have been annoying me, which should make editing the file easier.

So, yeah:
