This addon removes said shadows and relies on the in game lighting system to generate better shadows. Shadows will not entirely disappear, and there will no longer be large, black messes under many props.
problem 2: most people build for basing, not for scenery, only a few people will use it.
You can see this effect in the screenshot on the addon page, in that the dynamic shadow remains but the oval beneath the table is gone. If you look closely, you can even see that the objects on the table are also drawing shadows through said table, making an even worse dark spot. By using the tool, you can remove said shadows.
For number of people impacted, many people might not use the tool, but it would make my spawn protection much better. I try my best to make prop-based spawn protection (for badly made maps) as ignorable as possible. However, the shadows always appear which turns spawn into a dark mess. If it is a large spawn, they can also stack, making the effect far worse. In addition, when making large things in midair said shadows still spawn, and it would be nice to have a method to remove them.
I tested the addon i picked out and it does solve the problem of being able to remove default shadows from props. You still get all shadows on all props normally, and have the option to remove default shadows you do not want.
Finally, it is also a very small tool, simply flipping a switch in the game that I cannot get to otherwise. Adding it would not be hard (its .001 MB), and it would help at least a few people.
PS: I also mainly picked out the titanfall jump pack addon because I noticed you loved using Bhop mode UHC. Its pretty similar and could bring a breath of fresh air to jumping.
