Shadows?

I changed the terrain and doodads in my map but the shadows are left from all doodads and terrain even if the doodads is removed and the terrain changed. It looks horrible when playing, shadows to nothing all over the map!
What can I do to remove them?

well, if u scale the doodads, it might look like a fog :)))) or a mist...

anywayz, can u edit the doodad's shadow ? if yes, set it to none :)
i dunno much about doodads, all i know is that whenever i try to change them, something screws up my map, so i avoid changing them :)

...You guys haven't looked at the options under the file menu, have you? Try picking that option called "calculate shadows and save map"

Ok, you must have accidently clicked the Calculate Shadows and Save Map option instead of Save. Unfortunately the process is irreversible. Sorry.

Here is another pic...

WTF?
U mean 2 days work for nothing? I must redo the whole version. OMG! This is the new version 2.0. My last was 1.3 and that is a big difference...

What is the point with haveing a calculate shadow button? When do I use that? and why doesnt it exist any "remove calculated shadow" button. Grr I hate Blizzard for making that button!

umm...You're wrong. This is easily reversible by reselecting that option. I just did it.
