Description

I used 16 automap in the room, hard drop shadow on the tiles and offset 64, 64. As a result, the part beyond the screen is not drawn.

I'm going to close this issue for now as the issue described is not something that is solvable in the context of the Hard Drop Shadow filter. The filter is applied in screen space, once the layer it is on has been drawn to the screen. This means anything that is not drawn to the screen cannot produce a drop shadow. If you need off screen objects to produce a drop shadow you'll need to look into other methods that draw the drop shadow during the drawing of the layer rather than as a post processing filter.
