Source Shadows

Description
I do not intend to work on this any further, as I believe the addon is already in a finished state.

About
Better shadow control!

Source Shadows gives you control over the Source engine's dynamic render-to-texture shadows (RTT). While many maps overlook shadow settings, Source Shadows lets you create custom settings for each map, with a few extra options. You can adjust the usual settings like shadow color, shadow distance, and shadow direction. Plus, you can tweak additional settings to make shadows follow the nearest world light and set the shadow direction based on the dynamic sun of the map.

Source Shadows also provides a couple of client settings, which allow you to toggle first person shadows, door shadows, and shadow quality.

Compared to other shadow addons, Source Shadows is incredibly universal, not taxing, and easily changeable per-map.

@Pablitho that doesn't mean there is zero chance of him adding it, it just means he couldn't think of anything else to add and is happy with it as is. and there's no harm in asking.
