Hello Mr. Lotter, please have look at the following code snippet:
#include <acknex.h>
void main()
{
// level_load(NULL);
MATERIAL* m = mtl_create();
effect_load(m,"whatever.fx");
}
This will result in Video functions not available before first frame If you however uncomment the level_load instruction the snippet will work as expected though it is still executed before the first frame.

AFAIK level_load does not take any frame at all to complete. You can also check the following snippet:
#include <acknex.h>
void main()
{
// level_load(NULL);
MATERIAL* m = mtl_create();
effect_load(m,"whatever.fx");
printf("total_frames = %d",(int)total_frames);
}
The total_frames variable is 0, regardless of the level_load ...

@JCL: so why not initializing the videodevice before entering first frame?(or does this collide with presetting vars, for screensize etc)

I'd then suggest changing the error message to "Video device not yet initialized". The current message implies that it is not possible at all to use effect_load before the first frame which is obviously not true.
