dropShadows.lua - I don't get why people like these

Postby **MrDoubleA** » Sun Jun 13, 2021 1:00 pm

Got bored today, so have the drop shadows from SMM in SMBX. The biggest caveat with this is that fading/transparent objects can look weird, as their shadows will stay at the same opacity for as long as they're at all visible.

Why do people like this? I mean it's great for SMB3 Levels, but still.

I think this lua code fits with NES styled levels.

Much like other libraries, put this in your luna.lua file:

Code: Select all

local dropShadows = require("dropShadows")

Do you have the dropShadows.frag and dropShadows.lua files in your level or episode folder?

This is in the SMBX2 roadmap, isn't it? Is it possible for this to be officially implemented?

Are we able to have the drop shadows only show up in specific sections?

I LOVE this, It's perfect. I was just wondering though if it'd be possible to make it work properly with 2 players? The split-screen currently breaks the shadows. Is there any way this could be fixed?
