Having a space in your path to the mod can cause them to incorrectly copy, but it should also produce an error when running buildsdkshaders.bat There should be a directory in the shaders directory where the FXC files are compiled to (Can't remember the name off the top of my head). The shaders are then copied from there to your mod directory. I'd check if they are in that directory first (just search stdshaders directory for *.fxc). If they are, its just an error in the copy process, and you can just fix up the batch file yourself if you really want, just hardcode in a copy. If they aren't there, then theres some other error in the compilation process that you're missing. Make sure you're running buildsdkshaders.bat from the command-line as well, because you often don't see any errors if you just double-click it, coz the window closes pretty quickly once its done compiling the combos.
