Wow style shadows?

Hi,

How can I implement character shadow like the one of world of warcraft (a simple sprite that is projected above the character).

I saw the post http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=26536 but the author don't shows all steps that I need to follow, he only reports a issue.
To make a shadow sprite follow the player seems to be easy, but how to make sure that the shadow sprite will take the same angulation as the surface above it (like stairs or ramps)?

Some one can help-me?

Thank u
