This mod look amazing! But I don't know how to install it :S Could someone tell me how to do it please? Thanks!
go to Amnesia folder. Find folder models/hand_objects/lanter. Delete old .ent. paste new.
Thanks for the reply!
Ĺwietne! :)
why would you need this now? you can just go to the game.cfg and change it to cast shadows true.
We need this for ALL light sources! Or most. It's surprising how much dynamic shadows improves atmosphere. A monster walks past a candle and you see his shadow... but not in Amnesia.
V04 released. Change log in the news section soon, as usual.
