   Hi. Thank you for your tutorial.

   I would just ask you. What to change to make this render as well in GameEngine.

   Best regards,
   Pete

   Ok, finally got it to work in Blender 2.5!

   What I did was I turned on the Transperancy (ZTransperancy), with only Alpha changed, which was set to 0.5 (I found that setting it to 1 will always make the shadow completely black).
   Then under Shadow, I unchecked Receive and checked Shadows Only.

   Yea it is useful BUT you cant control the AO lets say if the value is 1 you cant type it more than 1. That sux! I want the shadows to be darker but it has only the max value 1. So I need to create one more light to give more darker shadows which also sux!
