P If a compiled effect file (.fxo) exists and is newer than the given effect script (.fx) from the material definition, the compiled effect will be loaded. This speeds up material loading. It also makes it unnecessary to include the shader compiler (d3dcompiler_42.dll) in the published version when only compiled effects are used. http://www.conitec.net/beta/Shader-effect.htm The .fxo file format has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of an effect. It's just a different form of presentation - namely compiled code instead of human readable code. Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

Though remark, that you have to use a shader that is designed for usage with Gamestudio. If you have an .fxo file from another game that wasn't created with Gamestudio, it is rather unlikely, that you can run the shader with Gamestudio (even though it's based on HLSL). And I doubt that you can recover the original HLSL shader code, unless you figure out how to decipher the compiled shader ASM instructions so that you get a sophisticated understanding for what is going on.
