Ankor's Shaders Question

Hello everyone. I am getting back into CFS3 after being absent for a while. The reason for my absence was the Win7 to Win10 transition. I now have my CFS3 installs transferred to Win10 and they are working. I do have DX9 installed and Gmax and the mos editor is working.

When I paused from CFS3, Ankor’s Shaders were just starting so I never applied them to my Win7 installs. It looks like they have come a long way from the time when I paused CFS3 and I would like to try them on my Win10 installs.

Is there more to it than putting the Ankor shader package into the CFS3 directory and following the readme instructions?

Thanks.
 
I can't get it to work. Below is a copy of the d3d8.log file. Maybe someone could let me know what is happening.

Are there files created at C:\Users\Mitch\AppData\Local\CFS3ShaderCache\D X9\CFS3 ETO Expansion\Texture.fx.bin?


 
The dds files for the sun image found in effects/weather and referenced in suneffect.xml are missing or are not in the proper format.
 
I got Ankor's Shaders working on my ETO install. Can they be used in other installs? (ie BoB, PTO Solomons, PTO Rising Sun, MAW)

The reason I ask is when I put them into my PTO Solomons install it did not work. I kept getting the CFS3 Config is out of date no matter what I did.
 
Sometimes you have to run the config utility multiple times before it sticks for some reason. May try running the config as admin as well?
