I installed ffx 3.2 and the 3.3 update. I did not get a short cut to control centre on my desktop. can some one please tell me how or where i can acess control centre. It did pop up after the initial install of ffx 3.2 and after I closed it (control centre) I could not find it again. Also my second request for help is mergeing my preinstalled custom fx to ffx 3.2/3.3. I dont know what dats to merge and what folder to place them in. thanks for any help
The FFX Control Centre executable is located in your Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich game folder. It's the ffxedit2.exe file.
If you're trying to merge your custom FX back in, Alex's FX pack is detected by FFX 3.2 and will automatically give you FFX 3.2 and Alex's FX pack already merged together if detected.
For other FX, you'd need to remerge your fx.dat file and probably your sounds.dat file back into FFX. FFX 3.2 also makes back-ups of your dat files for you when it's installed. Look in your Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\ffx3 folder and you'll see attributes.dat.old, fx.dat.old, etc. These are your pre-FFX 3.2 install .dat files. Just merge them back in.
Also, keep in mind that FFX 3.3 .dat files are meant to be merged with your existing .dat files, so the order of install/merging should be something like this:
1. Install FFX 3.2
2. Merge your backup .dat.old files to the new FFX 3.2 ones
3. Merge the FFX 3.3 .dat files
Actually, you could probably switch steps 2. and 3. and it wouldn't make a difference. But after reading what you've done so far, you may only need to do step 2. at this point.
After each step, it might be wise to test FFX out in-game, just to make sure it works, to make it easier to see when and where a problem might occur.
:thumbup: thanks taskmaster for the help
Im running into a problem with the absorbing attribute and need help. I made an Absorbing man character. useing the two absorb attributes (absorb material and absorb energy) I think. The problem Im haveing is that after I absorb electricity my character cant absorb any other materials. it will say that I absorb other materials but my resitances and weaknesses never change from the electric and my character cannot die. thanks for any help
Thanks for testing this out and reporting on it, ROM. I just checked it out and you're right, when I absorb any kind of energy or material that uses the Pass Thru defence, the defence fails to get removed when switching to other materials. I'll get to work on a fix.
