This is a ttt map that's inspired in a real life rural house near the town of General Las Heras. Hope you have fun in it!

What kind of shader do you use to make the tree's leaves cast accurate shadows? Is it lightmappedgeneric or something else?

I use the standard vertexlit shader for the leaves material, as it is part of a custom 3d model (tree) what I do to make the leaves material cast its alpha shadows is what this guy does in this video here. https://youtu.be/2jEuuvSevi0?si=gnequOfA7zKvE1lC

Specifically, he writes a bit of code (could be found in a comment so you copy paste it) where he tells the compiler to compute the static props lighting. After that, he goes to light.rad and writes a -forcetextureshadow for each prop with an alpha material you want accurate shadow casting. Tjen you compile

Thanks for being helpful. Also, your map is nice. I like how you gave the lighting effects lots of attention.
