Thank you Gap goblin editor works fine

i also discoverd that .FX are HLSL source code and they're just plain text files
,for short you can open them with notepad.

Working with uboat files, I found there are 2 types of .fx files in the game.

1) are easily opened with a texteditor or can be imported into FX Composer (I believe TDW recommended this tool).
2) others - not even close. I'm still not sure how to edit them or open them.

Okay, at this point I think there is an equivocation. Thank you Targor for pointing me to it

Yes, these ones are game shaders, and have nothing to do with the next ones, except their extension, indeed

This ones are dat (binary) files. They contain SH controllers, and they can be opened with Goblin Editor, by merging them with their corresponding dat/GR2 file

So for short notepad for shaders
Goblin for controllers

Right

lol... You are right, gap

I just consider Goblin as a default thing, just accepting it as normal.
