shadow "ball"

Yo!

I came here to request a mod, if possible, to change the game characters shadows to "circular shape shadows". For a simple motive: performance.

 

thanks!

You'd be better off just turning of shadows if you want better performance. Other things you can turn off include:

Self Shadows

Water reflections

Shadows on grass

Tree canopy shadows

Grass

Shadows aren't a seperate object, just like how they aren't a seperate object in reality. They are made from light being blocked by certain light sources. There is no way to control their shape that wouldn't also require making everything else that shape. If you're concerned about performance, turn them off. There is no other way.

its ok, but I still think that is possible to add a texture or a meshe to cast a simple shadow, like the old games, the trees shadow of the game make something like that, will be better than OFF.

Nope, more advanced graphics mean that the engine generates shadows live, rather than using some sort of pregenerated image or something. It cannot be changed, and it is unlikely any newer game would allow this. Also, having such things wouldn't necessarily improve anything. A texture woud still have to be loaded, defined, and tracked by the game. Having an engine that generates this live means not having to take the time to make shadow textures for everything. The end result is a game that just looks better.
