Effects Directory?

[Ausomeman]

I was looking to add the shaders to my MMF2 and I do not see an effects directory. Can someone give me a basic idea of where it would be like Extensions/blahblah/blah/blah or is it for MMF2 Developer?

It's MMF2/Effects/.
You need HWA though.

This is probally newbie question, but what exactly is HWA?

Short introduction:
http://www.fusionwiki.com/wiki/HWA

It's a separate program - almost exactly like the normal MMF, but with HWA features.

Download and install it:
http://www.clickteam.com/webftp/files/mmf2/hwa/MMF2Hwa.exe

Search for the new HWA link in your start menu, and fire it up.
You can now put the effects in the Effects folder.
They replace "ink effects" (semi-transparency etc.).

Also, make sure the application's display mode (You can set it where you set the FPS in the application properties) is set to Direct3D 9.

Oh ok, thanks you. That clears a lot of things up. Any idea exactly how much extra space the created file takes up, and does this support SWF exportation for effects?

HWA can export to SWF, but you can't use HWA features in an SWF.

Oh, so I can't use any of the shaders?

Not in Flash.

It's a Flash limitation, (the Flash format i mean).
