Add a sun or scattersky to the Undercity mission. The Basic Light projected shadow needs a directional light to work properly.

I get odd problems with BL player shadows, with a sun in the mission.
(sticky shadows, seems to depend on terrain height / steepness)

I WILL make a proper report once I understand it a little more myself.
