CVar shadowMode

Last wiki revision 2013-03-18

This setting controls the Dynamic Shadows in-game.

  • 0
  • 0 :Off. This leaves the 'blob' type shadow only. Blob shadow cannot be removed as CVar_shadowLOD is no longer available.
  • 1 :Precomputed terrain shadows, dynamic shadows near player.
  • 2 :Static environment shadows, dynamic shadows near player.
  • 3 : Full dynamic shadows.

In-game, type the following /console shadowMode setting

Alternatively, you can exit wow, open the Config.wtf file, and add the following line: SET shadowMode setting

Or you can change the setting via the in-game Video Options.

This is how this setting relates to graphics options in-game:

  • Low :shadowMode = 0.
  • Fair :shadowMode = 1, shadowTextureSize not set in WTF (default is 1024).
  • Good :shadowMode = 1, shadowTextureSize = 2048.
  • High :shadowMode = 2, shadowTextureSize = 2048.
  • Ultra :shadowMode = 3, shadowTextureSize = 2048.
