Modulated Shadows

[smurf6020]

I'm trying to change the settings in my light from LightShadow_Modulate to LightShadow_ModulateBetter. However it keeps going back to LightShadow_Modulate, when I click on LightShadow_ModulateBetter. Anyone know why this is?

Ok that looks like a bug. Thanks for letting us know.

You're welcome Sir! :)

happens to me too. somehow I thought ModulateBetter was intentionally broken because it'd soon get deprecated or something... even if it doesn't make much sense to deprecate a "higher quality" setting

Thanks for replying Chosker, glad I'm not the only one. :)

How far back does this bug go? Seems to be in the Sept 2011 & Aug 2011 releases as well.

Is there a workaround?

[Rogdor]

In LightComponent.uc:

/** Deprecated */
LightShadow_ModulateBetter

So is ModulateBetter getting fixed, or is it deprecated? Would be really nice to know.

well now in UDK November not only is LightShadow_ModulateBetter broken, I can't even put LightShadow_Modulate, it goes back to LightShadow_Normal too!

Yea I would like to know as well, the shadows going through the wall is really unprofessional looking and disabling the shadows for things against the wall is even more unprofessional looking.
