Post by: Ganymede Zero on April 21, 2007, 09:56:15 PM

Install FFX 3.2 beta again and it will fix it.

FFX and FFVTTR don't share fx dats so you will need to merge. Also, to prevent the need to merge, you could just install the fx directly into FFX next time by changing the primary data path in ffedit

Actually, you shouldn't need to merge at all.  As of the FFX 3.2 public beta, FFX contains the merged dats in the installer.  Installing EZFX directly into the FFX folder is a VERY bad idea, as it will overwrite a lot of FFX-specific FX that are needed.

The FFX 3.2 beta installer auto-detects EZFX and installs the merged dats automatically.

Or it's supposed to anyways.

At any rate, you can get the same result by merging them yourself.

Cat, I think he was talking about custom fx not included in ezfx which is why I suggested merging and installing directly into ffx. Though I may be wrong. At any rate, one, if not both, of our ideas/suggestions should help him greatly. :P

Ah, reading that again, you may be right.

Now I feel  stupid.  I mean, more so than usual.
