I'm having problems rendering shadows that are cast on an object that has the shader assigned. To get the shadow dark enough I have to either ramp up the color to a -5 black and once it's up high enough to cast a darker shadow it starts artifacting and is sometimes laced with strange blue ripples. Help please.
This shader is very nice. I as an amateur was able to combine some of the tips on this site for realistic snow and this shader and have had pretty nice results so far:

I just replaced two of the grass textures with textures I liked better from my digital camera, and for the snow I used a copy of this same shader, replacing the four grass textures with snow textures, turning the diffuse down, and connected an inverted fractal with high threshold to the snow's specular color, per the tips on realistic snow in the tutorials section.
Combined them with a stucco, and though unfinished, its coming along. :) Thx again.
I downloaded the files but cant find the orignal readme with this updated version. Jus wanna know is it the same. The orignal author's site is also not working.
