You need the dx sdk, and to copy fxc.exe from the sdk's utilities folder over to yourmodsrcdir\dx9sdk\utilities

Its the first time I have seen the Shader Combo stage ever!! However I get this from the command prompt: post_nightvision_ps20.fxc....writing inc PassThrough_vs20.fxc....writing inc 1 file(s) moved. C:\mycodedir\src\materialsystem\stdshaders'fxc.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Shader combo 0 of 2... 'fxc.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external operable program or batch file. Shader combo 1 of 2... 0 seconds elapsed. Overwrite old source SDK .vcs files? and thats it! I have been searching for problems with my .pl files and buildsdkshader batch file and I do not see any. If you could please contact me at [email protected] or [email protected] if you could I would appreciate it. I don't want to clog up hlcoders with the same emails when it might be something totally stupid I am doing.
