HLSL: empty fx: X3000 file: unexpected token '{'

Question

The following error will appear: Test.fx (1,1): X3000 error: syntax error: unexpected token '{'

Text.fx contains the following: Nothing.

I also tried it with an effects file that works fine in another test project:

float4x4 mWorld; struct TInputVertex { float3 vPosition : POSITION0; float3 vNormal : NORMAL0; float2 vTexCoord : TEXCOORD0; float4 vColor : COLOR0; }; struct TOutputVertex { float4 vPosition : POSITION0; float3 vNormal : TEXCOORD1; float4 vColor : COLOR0; }; TOutputVertex vsMain(TInputVertex i) { TOutputVertex o; o.vPosition = mul(float4(i.vPosition, 1), mWorld); o.vColor = i.vColor; o.vNormal = mul(float4(i.vNormal, 1), mWorld).xyz; //o.vColor += pow(dot(normal_world, float3(0, 0, 1)) * 2 + 0.3, 10); return o; } struct TInputFragment { float3 vNormal : TEXCOORD1; float2 vTexCoord : TEXCOORD0; float4 vColor : COLOR0; }; struct TOutputFragment { float4 vColor : COLOR0; }; TOutputFragment psMain(TInputFragment i) { TOutputFragment o; o.vColor = i.vColor; o.vColor += pow(dot(i.vNormal, float3(0, 0, 1)) * 2 + 0.3, 10); return o; } technique mytech { pass p0 { //ShadeMode = Flat; //ZEnable = false; WorldTransform[0] = mWorld; VertexShader = compile vs_1_1 vsMain(); PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 psMain(); } } 

With the same error as the result.

Included dx files from the same dx sdk in both projects. Including and linking the same headers and libraries.

I literally copied the download function from a test project. I myself wrote the entire test project.

 HRESULT res = D3DXCreateEffectFromFile(device, file_name, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, &effect, &error_buffer); 

Google does not appear with anything. I would really appreciate it if you could remove the dagger from my wetware.

Decision. Do not create RTF files, then rename them and edit using the input panel. Wordpad will still interpret it as rtf because the file starts with "{\ rtf1}". Dragging it into a visual studio showed me real content. Oh world, you have so much fun.
