Hello everyone,

 

I am trying to restore all of effects that were orginlaly created for F-14A and F-14D, and keep in mind, I have renamed all effect files to keep all files organized.

 

This is what F-14A_Effect look like:

And please note that I have added EffectShaderName=effectFire.fx under afterburner effect and effectLightLevel.fx for smoke (engine dry thrust). Afterburner are succesfully restored (the afterburner are blue in color and I want to know if this is correct afterburner color as intended by Mirage Factory? And at the other hand, dry thrust engine smokes are not visible in F-14A when in flight with engine at 69 percent throttle setting.

 

I also have problem witih F-14D body vapor not showing up and this is what F-14D_Effect look like:

Here is picture of files I have inside Effect folder for F-14A and F-14D effects.

 

f14aandf14deffectfiles.jpg

 

I am still learning about .ini for Strike Fighter 2 since they are different from Strike Fighter 1, and like I said, right now it is my goal to restore all of effects that are given to F-14A and F-14D orginally in SF2 since they are recently imported into SF2 with custome effect not working properly.

 

Thank you and I look forward to the replies.

 

 

Chaoic out...

DOH!!! I just realized I forgot to add EffectShaderName at front of these new DX10 shader effect names. I must have a dead brain after intense studying in university and the problem is all fixed now.

 

:yes:
