**Client:**
modGraphics

Below:
```
'Graphic Textures
```Add:
```
Public Tex_Shadow As DX8TextureRec
```

* * *

Below:
```
ReDim Preserve gTexture(NumTextures)
```Add:
```
Tex_Shadow.filepath = App.Path & "\data files\graphics\misc\shadow.png"
Tex_Shadow.Texture = NumTextures - 11
LoadTexture Tex_Shadow
```

* * *

Above:
```
ReDim Preserve gTexture(NumTextures)
```Change
```
NumTextures = NumTextures + 11
```To
```
NumTextures = NumTextures + 12
```

* * *

Below:
```
Tex_Selection.Texture = 0
```Add:
```
Tex_Shadow.Texture = 0
```

* * *

In:
```
Private Sub DrawSprite
```Above:
```
RenderTexture Tex_Character(Sprite), x, y, rec.Left, rec.Top, rec.Right - rec.Left, rec.Bottom - rec.Top, rec.Right - rec.Left, rec.Bottom - rec.Top, D3DColorRGBA(255, 255, 255, 255)
```Add:
```
' render player shadow
RenderTexture Tex_Shadow, x, y + 18, 0, 0, 32, 32, 32, 32, D3DColorRGBA(255, 255, 255, 200)

```

And copy the shadow.png (Attachement) into "\client\data files\graphics\misc\"

And to jcsnider :)
You can use it in your next release if you wan't :)

Edited the title, because this only works in Snider's later editions, not EO itself. :]

[GodWar]

Ah OK but i can swear this works also with the original EO! Or?

[Joyce]

Nope! EO itself runs on DirectDraw7, which does not support transparency(alpha channels, to be precise) nor *.png images. :]

[GodWar]

OK my fault :) But it works with this :) THX for info ^^

[or3o]

you might wanna specify that the shadow file needs to go in th misc folder in the graphics directory. But other than that it works  perfectly.

[GodWar]

Sorry i changed it in post 1 :)

[jcsnider]

Not bad at all… keep it up and we may just keep you around GodWar.

[GodWar]

THX if you want you can add it to your next release :-)
