CASTING THE SHADOW OF THE BOTS

In CLIENT.C, add the line :
...
// Add this line after the other #include declarations
// This header file is needed in order to use ViewIndex (ACTOR_INDEX_PLAYER, etc…)
#include "../Game/Gmain.h"
...
 

Go in CLIENT.C inside the function "static geBoolean CheckClientPlayerChanges":
Replace the following if statement...
...
    if (Client->ViewPlayer == PlayerIndex && !TempPlayer)
    {
            if (!geActor_SetShadow(Player->Actor, GE_TRUE, 100.0f, GameMgr_GetShadowMap(Client->GMgr), NULL))
                    GenVS_Error("[CLIENT] CheckClientPlayerChanges:  Could not set actor shadow.  ActorDef Name: %s.\n", ActorIndex->FileName);
    }
...
by ...
    if (Player->ViewIndex == ACTOR_INDEX_BADGUY || Player->ViewIndex == ACTOR_INDEX_PLAYER && !TempPlayer)
    // Use the ViewIndex of your Bots.
    {
            if (!geActor_SetShadow(Player->Actor, GE_TRUE, 100.0f, GameMgr_GetShadowMap(Client->GMgr), NULL))
                    GenVS_Error("[CLIENT] CheckClientPlayerChanges:  Could not set actor shadow.  ActorDef Name: %s.\n", ActorIndex->FileName);
    }
