I have never used an FX file before. Does an FX file have to becompiled of is it just included as a path?

It is loaded into a material, and DirectX automatically compiles it.
i.e.

Code:

---

material my_shader_material {
  effect = "my_effect_file.fx";
}

---

or
Code:

---

material my_other_shader_material { }

starter load_shader()
{
  effect_load(my_other_shader_material,"my_other_effect_file.fx");
}

Sweet! That's what it seemed but then I thought, that's just too easy. Thanks.

But where can someone get .FX files compatible with 3dgs?

The next time I see this question I think I'm going to kill something.

Use the SEARCH FEATURE of the forums.

SEARCH button must be in bold, red, 18pt, center and after "3dgs" title, I think. It's not a joke.
Forum full of such questions.
