Name: r_shadows
Default value: "0"
Cvar flags: archive renderlatch
FTEQW Builds: OpenGL Renderer Minimal GL Build Merged Build Linux Build
Possible values: 0 / 1 / 2
A setting of 2 invokes the fallback rendering, preventing any duel sided stencil extension in your opengl drivers. It should normally be used only if a value of 1 causes an issue.
Cvar flags: Cvar_Archive Cvar_RendererLatch

Note that the origional flattened mesh type shadows are no longer supported. Old documentation will state that 2 uses stencil shadows while 1 uses that older effect. This is no longer true, and you'll get the same image with both. A value of 1 will give better fps.
You can use a value of 5 to disable the shadows and use the lighting without the shadows. This is noticably faster, but not as funky.
This is a sample screenshot on dm6. It also shows some bumpmapping.

Another example, the quad damage in it's natural environment on dm2.

Same as above, but with a rocket explosion.
