Command for shadows?

Waht's the command (if it exists) to make the shadows in Q3 appear realistic instead of just a blob beneath the player? I remember something about enabling realistic shadows, but cannot find it anywhere.

cg_shadows 2

I think there's a 3 as well... one of them is soft shadowing if you've got EDIT: stencilbits set to 4 plus

Set cg_shadows to 2 for stencil shadows, 3 for projection shadows. r_stencilbits needs to be 4 or higher. r_measureOverdraw doesn't work with it.

Thanks! It works. Looks kinda cool actually, however the servers I play on have it limited to 0 or 1 by PB. :(
