Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does this do? A: This is a standalone script that enables dynamic shadows in the front-end . This feature was originally only available for the Xbox 360 version of the game.

Q: Is this compatible with Xbox 360 Stuff Pack?
A: Yes, but "Xbox 360 Stuff Pack v2" has its own FE shadow implementation by osdever, and I can't guarantee all features will work correctly because of that.

Q: Why are shadows missing in the safe house?
A: This is likely because you're using "Xbox 360 Stuff Pack v2". The shaders from that mod cause many shadows to disappear, including those in the front-end. This is not my fault, there's nothing I can do about it.

Q: What does "FE" or "Front-End" mean?
A: It refers to the menu system and its various locations: Platform Crib, Customization Shop, Career Safe House, and Car Lot. These are all collectively known as the "Front-End" or "FE" for short.

Q: Does this affect performance?
A: It shouldn't, no.

Q: Can I bundle this with my own mod?
A: If your mod is free and you credit me, yes.
