Through the attribute editor, turn on the shadows of the light that is shining through the bars.
Should do the trick,
Mat.

I am trying to light this dungeon as a night scene where it's dark but I can see detail. I was able to do that but I also wanted a light fog going through the window and a shadow of the bars to show on the ground. When I put the light fog through the window and make sure shadows are checked it just gives me a light fog but no shadows of the bars on the ground.Also isn't there a way to change the light fog to a box shape, so I can fit it perfectly through the window.

are the bars modeled or have you used a transparency map?

Yeah putting glass into a window can do that!!
There's a free tutorial on this site showing how to create and use alpha maps and I made a quick tutorial for someone a while back showing how to use light fog with transparency maps....
Click THIS to watch it.
I'm sure that there are plenty more tutorials out there, I pretty much learnt through trial and error.
nice job by the way, could be a bit glloomier in the corners though. I look forward to seeing the daytime version.
Take it easy,
Mat.
