I was walking around in Barbie and noticed that there were these funky dirty dark spots showing up on the ground. I joked that these were the shadows of the ghosts of ancient, dead code in our mammoth code base.
It turns out I was right..... sort of.
Babrie has multiple worlds that you go to by going through doors. You click on a certain door and go to another area (we call them worlds; just another BSP). It turns out that when someone is left active in a world, their shadow gets drawn even if you're not in the same world at the correct (x,y,z) location. So the effect was to get shadows (dirty splotches) randomly showing up.
They were the shadows of people in other worlds.....
Okay, maybe I'm the only one who finds that cool.
