Might be able to, but you'll have to patch it yourself to do so.
WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Is that something that CSGO has that TF2 doesn't? I've never heard of it.
yes it's broken in TF2
Jumpin on the war paint train, too!
had lots of fun making swirly patterns in the alpha for an added touch:
Hopin to release to the Workshop sometime tomorrow!

That's... what??? Surely you mean it's nonexistent in TF2, unless I missed a memo at some point.
The shadows in csgo are just a projected texture that is automatically added by compile to match the angles and colours of your environment light. The entity exists in tf2 and if it worked you would be able to reproduce the same effect by placing it manually. Or at least something similar.
This is why in csgo evv projected texture doesn't work since there is a limit of 1 turned on at a time.
i'm working on an minecraft mod. heres an screenshot of an new biome called: the tallforest
(yes the name is really generic i know)

I'm not an expert but I think cs:go's shadow system is more in-depth than that.
Shadows in cs:go degrade in quality and fade seamlessly into the lightmaps as they get further away from the player. And this works at any point in the map at any angle independent of other players as well as updating the texture it projects to accommodate moving objects.
The projected texture entity alone is basically the HL2 flashlight, and placing it manually to cover the entire map would not get the same effect (or performance) you do in cs:go.
On a side note, anyone know how TF2's shadows work internally?
This, as was pointed out to me a few months ago, is correct. A simple projected light on top of the existing lightmaps would just make the lit areas outside even brighter, unless the compiler were programmed to not commit the first bounce (which is probably closer to how most other engines do it, at least the ones that still have deferred lighting at all). Also there'd need to be a tweak to the code to make it project isometrically (is that the word I'm looking for?) rather than like a cone.
Well I was just refering to the projected texture entity, although someone did post shots of dustbowl running on cs:go and imho it looked amazing. The downside of cs:go's shadow system is its doesn't play nicely with older GPUs. On my laptop TF2 runs better than cs:go because of this. (45fps vs 10fps). (this was DX9 with HDR before the gun-mettle update, havn't tried it recently.)
Sharp shadows could probably work in TF2 if the assets and maps weren't already all built around the current lighting model. Sharp shadows create visual noise that may unbalance any carefully composed scene that wasn't built to accommodate that noise in the first place.
Well, yeah. But shadows can look nice and soft and fuzzy without looking like big ugly squares because of lightmaps, right?
working on my minecraft mod. currently got 4 new ores, cobalt, tungsten, mythril and titanium. i'm working on addind more ores like nikolite and uranium and tons more. i'm also working on some new mobs. heres an new spore/mushroomy creeper (totally not based of some mushroomy enemies from terraria or anything)
Could you rephrase the question? I'm not sure that I follow.
