You should probably take a look at the lighting pack, you can get very bright scenes with that.

The info page sez DTS shapes can have shadows...

Does that include DTS shapes added / removed dynamically during game play?
Without adding / removing lights at the same time?

Yes DTS shapes can have shadows allong as you are using the new lights provided in the pack

Sam, the lighting pack allows STATIC shapes to cast lightmaps (using their collision meshes to do so), so it won't work for dynamic/moving meshes. You should do some coding and enable the standard projected shadows for those.

If i have read Sam's responce above right, does this mean that the l;ighting pack only renders a shadow of the object's collision box? which would in affect mean the shadows will be boxes?

Well, if your collision model is a box, then yes it will be a box. But collision shapes need not be boxes.

So for example the main model;s i wish to cast shadows are my trees - at the moment i only have a small collision box at the base of the trunk. How would i alter things, so i could cast a nice shadow? baring in mind i cant even use the lighting apack anyway yet until the 1.3 upgrade comes out??? But i would like to know.

Cheers
