Questions about shadows:

[c_olin3404]

I wrote this simple program jsut to test out the map I made. I worked fine lightmaps and all, then I added an md2 mesh, and a light to the scene node and enabled shadows on the md2 model.... but there are no shadows!?!?!?

why?

You need to enable the stencilshadows here. change that false to true.
