i'm not sure there's a way to indicate that something shouldn't cast a shadow... interesting.

after doing some testing, one way to keep them from casting shadows would be to make them somewhat transparent? otherwise, this will need a client/engine change.

Looks like there's no way but define them airlike to not have shadows ... which screws up the texture.

no, not drawtype="airlike", that means it's entirely w/out textures. i mean, the textures need to have "alpha" data and that use_texture_alpha="blend" needs to be part of the node definition.

then again, i'm not sure that will completely eliminate the shadows, there were some confounds when i was testing it. more testing is needed, but probably we should make them half-transparent in the near-term, and also ask the engine people to tag a node (and entities too!) as something that should not cast a shadow
