No Shadows after Blindfold use

[Saglie Resident]

After using a blindfold (I wiggled out), I have no shadows. I tried everything in the environment settings. There are shadows on my AV, and on my friend's AV, but none on the platform on the nearby walls and so on. Graphics are set to maximum on all settings. FPS is 83, a little slower than normal. Tried clearing cache.

Update: shadows on SL ground. Mesh and Prim platforms and surfaces have no shadows. Avatars and ground do.

Hi, this is strange because I've been blindfolded a lot, with shadows on, and never had this issue.

Please post the full chain of RLV commands you receive when the blindfold is unlocked (you can see them by activating debug messages in the RLV menu, before unlocking the blindfold. Also check that "Shadows" is set to "Sun/Moon + Projectors" in the Graphics/Advanced window.

Sure, here it is. To show it's complete I included the command before and after

I may have neglected to mention this is happening in the RLViewer.

[16:58] RR Ballgag (mouth): executes command: @rediremote:1717178=rem

[16:58] RR Scarf blindfold (nose): : Sage has been untied by Sage after 0:0:30

[16:58] RR Scarf blindfold (nose): executes command: @detach=y,clear=editobj

[16:58] RR Scarf blindfold (nose): executes command: @clear=cam,showloc=y,showminimap=y,showworldmap=y,shownametags=y,showhovertextworld=y

[16:58] Elegance RW (r forearm): executes command: @getstatusall:tploc=149755

It's probably not the blindfold, but here's a picture of how shadows don't occur on prims and mesh but do occur on land surface. The beach texture is mesh.

A completely clean reinstall resolved the issue with the RLViewer.

This is strange, but I'm glad it solved your issue. It is important to always completely wipe the old RLV installation folder when installing a new one, otherwise it can lead to some weird issues (but I had never heard about that one).

[Saglie Resident]

LOL, thank you for your support. So many weird and wonderful things that can happen. --Sage is very happy and thinks Marine should make sure to Have Fun :-)
