The only thing I can come up with,well,there are a couple things here,but my first I would try is not to use this.

set object effect 1, 0

try this and see if it matters in the end

SET EFFECT ON 1, "folder.fx",1

If this changes nothing,I will try one more thing

It might be the select case set up

Ok, Green Gandalf

bolth of thease effects have the same texture flag

load effect "DSBump v0.fx", 1, 0
load effect "GGbump04P.fx", 2, 0

I've tested with the command "set effect on", as Daniel Wright has suggested, and it works on the Green Gandalf demo

I'm going to try this on my own project

on Green Gandalf demo there was nothing holding the effect in memory for the loop,it was only loaded one time before the loop,this is why using SET EFFECT ON 1, "folder.fx",1 works becouse it is holding it into memory with in the loop of the program.

No.not unless its being used all at the same time,your pc holds nothing into memory unless its called to,and this is what you are doing,now,if 50 diffrent effects are being called at the same time in the same state,then shure,big time slow down.

Ok, I see how it works

Edit : My models disapear when I use the effect ... And they are immobile after, may be this shader doesn't support bone animated model, I'll test with a shader for this model.

Edit 2 : Immobility of the object is solved, it's due to the fastbone effect, apparantly I can't remove this effect of an object in game.

So, my object keep its texture when I disable the effect but when I use an effect the model become invisible

Of course they do. In each case the textures are applied in DBPro.

Sounds like a possible work around.

What are you talking about.

What do you mean?

You've lost me as well. Sounds like you're now talking about a completely different situaton.

If I've understood, "Set effect on" doesn't realy load an effect, it reads it and apply it on an object, so it's not kept in memory. Right ?

it is in memory,but only for the one time is was applied,if you try to change it in the programs loop,then it is no longer in the programs memory. but yes,you are right.

IT WORKS !

hum ...

Seriously, I just find the solution to my new problem, I'm shameful ^^

"set effect on" didn't works on my project because there was an error in the shader path, and DBPro doesn't display errors with this command.

So, my problem is solved, even if this bug stay a strange bug ^^


I realy thank you two to have helped me a lot, I'll never forget it
