Strange shadow bug

[WeedHex 631]

Hello devs!

I've a strange problem after a lot of refactors, I figured out it...

I can't see the shadow of my character. 

I can see all the shadows ONLY the one of myself isn't there.

 

Has it ever happened to you? Regards.

Maybe you messed something up around these?

PythonBackground.cpp

void CPythonBackground::RenderCharacterShadowToTexture()
{
	extern bool GRAPHICS_CAPS_CAN_NOT_DRAW_SHADOW;
	if (GRAPHICS_CAPS_CAN_NOT_DRAW_SHADOW)
		return;

	if (!IsMapReady())
		return;

	CMapOutdoor& rkMap = GetMapOutdoorRef();
	uint32_t t1 = ELTimer_GetMSec();

	if (m_eShadowLevel == SHADOW_ALL ||
		m_eShadowLevel == SHADOW_ALL_HIGH ||
		m_eShadowLevel == SHADOW_ALL_MAX ||
		m_eShadowLevel == SHADOW_GROUND_AND_SOLO)
	{
		D3DXMATRIX matWorld;
		STATEMANAGER.GetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &matWorld);

		bool canRender = rkMap.BeginRenderCharacterShadowToTexture();
		if (canRender)
		{
			CPythonCharacterManager& rkChrMgr = CPythonCharacterManager::Instance();

			if (m_eShadowLevel == SHADOW_GROUND_AND_SOLO)
				rkChrMgr.RenderShadowMainInstance();
			else
				rkChrMgr.RenderShadowAllInstances();
		}
		rkMap.EndRenderCharacterShadowToTexture();

		STATEMANAGER.SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &matWorld);
	}

	uint32_t t2 = ELTimer_GetMSec();

	m_dwRenderShadowTime = t2 - t1;
}

PythonCharacterManager.cpp

void CPythonCharacterManager::RenderShadowMainInstance()
{
	CInstanceBase* pkInstMain = GetMainInstancePtr();
	if (pkInstMain)
		pkInstMain->RenderToShadowMap();
}

 

Have you tried only rendering your shadow and nothing else?

Thanks very much for care in reply. Unfortunately it's not the problem.

I checked everything! I opened this thread hoping someone had this problem in past. I'll do more debug when have time and if solve will tell here.
