No matter what, I cannot make this look anything like the pictures here even with this addon and requirements only as the only enabled addons and on default GM_construct.

What am I supposed to do to make it look like the pictures? Because right now it just makes everything darker and have no shadows.

The Sun's light is very blue, is there a way to fix this?

Evgeny, please fix it making muzzeflashes and lighting break the shadows.

@persondoesstuff me to

idk if it's one of my mods but this addon seems to make everything invinsible including my viewmodel and other npcs?

Tried it an it worked for a week until the shadows started to flicker.. But if there's anyway how to fix it?

Какие видеокарты наиболее совместимы с этим шейдером?

it's so buggy, shadows keep disappearing because they're out of range of the cascades. It is impossible for me to get it to look like in the thumbnail

i feel like one of the biggest problems with this mod is it just looks so bad indoors also how it updates with the shadow boxs on the ground or whatever is just jarring.

The sun is leaking.

The addon is unhidden because a cool depth buffer update was made.

Addon hidden

the sun is pissing on my map

the tech is cool but this ♥♥♥♥ is kind of ass not gonna lie, just use normal csm guys!

ts MIGHT just be the worst csm addon available

Can You Make This Work With The [VMAnip] Flashlight?

how do you even get this to work

the sun is leaking

It seems that, at least with TFA weapons, aiming bugs out the shaders. If anyone knows a fix it would be very appreciated

its kinda poly

btw i was using bms npcs (ZBASE)

this also flashed me with a code. Hmmm i wonder what that could be [Cascaded Shadow Mapping (CSM Shader)] lua/autorun/client/csm_ghsaders.lua:377: bad argument #4 to 'IsOBBIntersectingOBB' (Vector expected, got nil)

Hey Dev of this addon. I would like to Ask About a Bug. In the gamemode addon "Beatrun" upon entering the Context Menu By Holding C. Hovering over an Object showing its outline seems to make the map Brighter and making the Shadows Darker. Its a very annoying bug and it is not only triggered by Entering the Context Menu. I am Currently Trying to Re Create Dying Light in Gmod which is why i choose your Shadow Mod For Performance

nik nak crashes or the mod does

but when i spawn in an npc it stops until i delete the npc then it starts flashing when i move again

whenever i move the whole screen flashes rapidly giving me seizures

@Evgeny Akabenko I tried out the "normals smooth". It helps a little but the polys are still noticeable.

does not work on 99% of my maps other than construct

I'm on the X64 branch on Windows

CSM does not work. It just does this and I have no idea how to fix it. All required addons are enabled. This is regular GM_Construct.

@Ryuji Gshader lib -> normals smooth

This looked promising, but it causes the polys on models to become very pronounced... is there a way to fix it?
