shadows as in? m2 shadows when not having a shadow mesh are auto-generated. do you mean low-shadow-quality adt baked shadows?

Well You know how objects have shadows. A Tree has a shadow. if you move a box in noggit. theres a little shadow. I just want to know how I can add shadows to trees and other objects if there is a way of course

Shadows are defined here: https://wowdev.wiki/M2/.skin#shadow_batches

The last line claims it is autogenerated given the condition. I'm not sure it is realistic matching that condition in your case so you may need to manually generate shadow batches. You can probably look at existing trees and copy most of it.

let me rephrase what i meant by adding shadows haha. (I'm noob so let me try say as much as I can) SO basically I figured out that the sahdows are automatically generated, However what i wanted to know is would it auto generate shadows on a private server which im playing and testing my maps on, or will it only work on my own server. Thank you Wunga for your replies =)

The server has absolutely no relevance to shadows.
