Shadow tree calculation

Shadow tree is an auxiliary grid positioned in the 3D space around the scene or its selected part. Each cell contains information regarding light intensity including cast shadows. This information is then used for dynamic object lighting calculation. Dynamic objects include characters, weapons, "grow" type objects etc.

The path to the *.shm file is as follows:

\[game directory]\levels\[map dir]\data\[sub-level dir]\ldt
