Also it's best to assume positively than negatively; ResolutionBlue from what I remember, has stated they're not really working on anything new in terms of addons, but when bugs might show up, they'll iron them out. Not to say you're being aggressive in terms of accusatory statements, but it's best to just relax and maybe wait for answers sometimes. Cheers, my friend.

@bruhhh I can answer your question on why they don't use it. It's simple. Pre-2007 game titles like Half Life 2, CS:S and DOD:S were built on earlier branches of the Source Engine that lacked native RTT shadow support. Retrofitting would require significant engine rewrites. RTT shadows are more GPU-intensive. Older titles were optimized for mid-2000s hardware, where dynamic shadows could cause performance drops that honestly, did not need to be a reality, especially for their already successful titles. Also not to mention, Many early Source games relied on baked lighting and Radiosity Normal Mapping for soft shadows. Adding RTT shadows could clash with the established visual style. However there IS one exception being Team Fortress 2 that uses RTT shadows now. Other titles after 2007 would be like Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2 and even some non-Valve titles like No More Room In Hell, Garry's Mod, Black Mesa and even lesser-known games like Estranged: Act I.

Why doesn't bro respond to my question

Why does this not show the weapon shadow when first person shadows are on?

i have both this mod and CSM enabled, for some reason i have to disable then re-enable this mod's shadows every time i load a world for them to show up alongside CSM. CSM gets rid of shadows for every light source besides sunlight, so i pair this mod with CSM because it brings back those indoor lights that CSM removes.

if possible, could you make this mod compatible with CSM?

@Goggles, there is unfortunately no shadow angle limit, so the best fix for this is to increase the “Shadow Shorten Factor” in the client settings.

is there a way to fix the shadow looking super long in certain angles?

Nevermind, I've fixed my problem by defaulting all the addon's shadow settings and then switching the shadows in the graphics setting to low and then high again, which fixed the problem I was having!
