What version are you using of efxMod and FPSC? V115, or V116? 6 does not work with efxMod at the moment (v2.02), only 5

Cheers

Hm... Did you make sure to make a folder called 'Flex' in your files directory? If that's not it, it may just be your computer...

Hmm... I'll try that. Give me a minute.

EDIT:
Nope. Did not work. That's funny too. Cause even Nighthawk said that low-spec PC's could run EFX Mod. At least that's what he said...

That bug was fixed in 2.0.1.

Seems like you have to update your DirectX Runtime. Just google it.

EFX v2.0.1 / v2.0.2 is ok but there are no scripts for it at the moment so only really serves as a test game tool. There's more work needed to make this into something which anyone is going to make a game with.

For example there has been a long standing issue with the water where it does not get rendered correctly if your resolution exceeds 1024x768 and some features in the interface aren't working.

The main problem right now is being able to transfer your test game settings into an actual game build.

The scripting commands are still the same, aren't they?

If so, get them from here:

As Doomster stated, there are still all the script commands from the previous versions, so if you still got the archive of the older releases, you can use the FPI Scripts from those old revisions.
Furthermore, there are new commands, but as efxMod is at official beta stage, at the moment, I don't want to publish a complete command information about commands that may change soon.

Well... I've never ever heard from that issue, I'm testing efxMod on different resolutions, starting with 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1280x720, 1440x900, 1680x1050 and my main desktop res 1920x1200. There weren't even bug reports by anyone regarding such a graphics bug.
Please, can you post a screenshot or email it to me?

Well, this has been described before - the extended gui isn't finished yet - at least, some of the Buttons/Sliders are not linked with efxMod functions/features.

Sure I'll post something tonight. When setting the refraction value all the way down it should reflect 100% of the environment above the water surface but doesn't.

When setting the refraction value all the way up it does refract 100% of the environment below the surface so its just the reflection which seems not to work correctly.

Quote: "well acturly with the scripts, I didnt get any of them working with efx v2 "


Same here. I made a custom script with the old commands and applied it to a trigger zone at the start of a level and it just crashed the game. The old commands aren't working in the current release.

The version Nighthawk is using might be different from the one being hosted on their site at the moment. They need to get an update out with some working scripts. Also some airmod features are missing in the current release.

EFX Mod v2 is certainly very cool and has a lot of potential but (in my opinion) the Helix devs showcase amazing tech demos then release a product which never really makes it out of beta which is a shame. I still wonder what happened to all their dynamic shadow tech.

This has nothing to do with the resolution problem you mentioned before - it sounds like you didn't disable the Shader Effects from FPSC which can cause a Clipping Bug when enabled (-> DBPro bug, we're working on a workaround solution for a long time)

Quote: "I know, no gunspec settings are being allowd"


Erm... well... at least they should, they're working in my testgames/final build games for testing - btw. the version I'm using is not extremely different from the release version, I'm using 2.0.3 which just has some fixes, no bigger changes at any point.

As it is based on 1.15 and we won't be moving to 1.16 due to various bugs and my personal disacceptance of 1.16, you should use it on 1.15, though, we heard from many users that it works on 1.16.

You could, but it is later used for custom fullscreen shaders, there will be a package of those shaders, integrated in efxMod - at the moment, we got a collection of Bloom, (S)HSL, Sharpening effects, Motion blur, negative colors, etc. - if you got some .fx shaders in that directory and if they are written in flexRender-style, efxMod will list them in the GUI, so you can load them on-the-fly and integrate them in your flexRender queue.
The only point that stops that concept from working: the unfinished extended gui

Could anyone tell me why I cannot do a build game with efx? I wanted to test efx and I loved what I saw in test game, but when I did a build game it all went away except for the bloom it stayed just how I set it. I am not using scripts and currently I downgraded to 1.15 to see if that would make a difference and it didn't. The first screenie is the test game and the second is the build game.

*can hear a needle falling*
that quite. *crickets*
some answers would be nice. i personally tought the whole EFX thing was totally canceled. i prefer performance and scripting over effects and graphics, however after seeing some uber-nice screeny's i'd like to keep my options open.
using Fenix 1.1 at the moment, very pleased with it, but pics like the above... man. i even saw some jaw dropping ones.
