Hi, I think I might not be the only one with this idea.

2D courts need ball shadows, because you literally dont know how high or low does the ball go, thats the only reason I dont play with 2D, because I like them and think they add a lot of realism, but not having ball shadows is such a HUGE disadvantage, please tell me if I didnt realised there was any kind of option to activate it, but if there isnt any kind of option, please Manutoo add this 😭🙏

Hello,

there's a shadow, but it's not very visible in 2D.

Install this Mod to make it more visible : https://mod.io/g/tennis-elbow-4/m/darker-ball-shadow .

[Keil]

I already had it installed, but cant see any kind of shadow

[manutoo]

That's weird.
Could you try to send me a Bug Report while your opponent is preparing his serve (ie: bouncing the ball) ? (HowTo => topic5-31732.php )

In 3D, you can see the ball's shadow ?

[Keil]

Hi, sorry for the delay, yeah I can see the ball shadow in 3D, but not in 2D, im gonna send the bug report in a few minutes

[manutoo]

I got your Bug Report, but it's your player who is bouncing the ball, not your opponent. Plus, it'd be better if you could use a key instead of the icon in the in-game menu, so the screenshot would be without the menu...

[Keil]

Ohh ok Ill try it in a few mins, im dumb.

[Keil]

Alright I did it again, you should see it well now

[manutoo]

I got it this time.

You have Settings -> 3d Match -> Ball Shadow on Realistic ; in 3D, with this setting, it's already very hard to locate it (coz it's not on the vertical). Try to set it to Vertical and you might see it a bit, at least when it's on your side.

[Keil]

I tried right now, but still can't see the ball's shadow, like I can see the player's shadows and everything but not the ball one, even on vertical, I tried everything on that setting but still is impossible to see the shadow. 😭

[manutoo]

Could you try without any Mod, to be sure it's not a Mod that removed it ?

[Keil]

I turned off some mods and now I can see the ball shadow, but only in vertical which for me makes me not see it really well, if I put it on realistic like I always did in 3D it disappears

[manutoo]

I checked and it works with the realistic shadow. But then, it follows the sun's direction and it can get pretty hard to see it.

Maybe you could try to edit this file : C:\Users\Public\mod.io\4857\mods\3318497_4260936\Darker Ball Shadow\Models\Textures\Misc_00.tga .

Maybe putting some white inside or as an outline of the shadow could help make it more visible. (you'll see the shadow in the mask layer ; in the color layer, it's just all black)

Alright, thanks!! 👍
