AFX has not been ported to 1.8 yet. Jeff has been working on the port.

Any update on how the 1.8 port is coming? Starting to wish I had started my project on 1.7.1 instead ;)

Beta versions of AFX 1.1 for TGEA 1.8 were made available to GarageGames on January 9. The week after the beta was ready GG made a bunch of changes to the website and that complicated things and may have distracted from getting them placed in the download area.

This will be a free upgrade, so the beta is supposed to be available to everyone with an AFX for TGEA license alongside the current releases on your My Account page. I'll check up on why it hasn't been made available yet.

The downloads for the beta are not currently up. I'll check into it as well.

I will purchase this pack soon as the 1.8 stuff is available.

Same here. I spent a day working on some splat-tech (projected texture) code and seeing as AFX appears to include that, it would be well worth the money, I just can't afford to backtrack to 1.7.1 ;) If they get the 1.8 beta up, you've got yourself a sale :)

@ Sean Burgoon -- FYI, the ground decal effects, called Zodiacs in AFX, are not as general as a true "projected texture", since the projection is always vertical. Still, we've found them useful for many things, and hopefully they can help with your "splat" requirements.
