When using Fsregen to process effect in the scenery I encounter run-time error 53 upon opening effect selection window in step 3. I have updated VB6 library and all other Fsregen requirements like higlights etc. are under control. Or at least I hope they are.Ted

Perhaps anyone here too ....Thanks Ted

Hi Ted,I was having this problem just last night. In experimenting a little (I think I had a beer or two... that helped) I discovered that if I chose "Effects" in the object type select list BEFORE loading the asm file, things worked fine. Well, I say fine, but that isn't quite true. I did manage to assign a smoke effect to a specific material, process and save the asm file. However, I get BGLC crashes when I try to compile the asm, and they're related to the code that FSRegen inserted for the effects. I'm going to start a new thread specifically about this and see if anyone can help. Hopefully my method will at least let you process your files without crashing, though!
