For my Eragon mod I have created a lot of new buildiings but when I put them ingame they don't have any shadow:



Does anyone know how to fix this?

I believe this may be caused by your code not having this line:
Shadow = SHADOW_VOLUME
If it does... then darn it

[Ouranos]

Well it does have it has can be seen by the flags having shadows for example but not the actual new models.

Tick the Shadw box in the exporter? (no clue if this is relevant in BFME2)

Ok that was the problem. Thanks

Strange... I never had to do that for my models... But ok, problem solved

It's relevant if you're playing in middle or high settings that show the old shadow "style". Consequently, the shadow volume parameter needs to be in the code.
If you're playing in very high settings the condition to see the new shadows is to have the subobjects of the model with a single material. I think that the "Multi/Subobject" material (which is applied when you attach two or more subobjects that have different materials) does not show the shadow correctly.

Interesting... I have actually been trying to remove shadows from a model on purpose. This may be my solution. Thanks for the tip Morgoth!
