I was in the editor @ixie . ): I'm doomed to never having sparkly fireflies in my houses. Thanks for trying to help tho.
@mayasunrising No, you will have sparkly fireflies! So, first - just in case Minion didn't update properly, make sure that you have EHT 8.9.0 or above. Also, make sure that you do a /reloadui if you have to update now -- that'll load in the new version of EHT once it's downloaded. Finally, make sure that you are in a house that you own -- Essential Effects only work in your own home and make sure that you are in (F5) Editor Mode (where you can pick up and move furniture). Once in that mode, you should see the "FX" button pop up next to the "EHT" button. Let me know if that doesn't work for ya though.
Also... you know exactly where I got that tagline from you ahem, ahem: you :-P
Thanks for responding so quickly @R_K ! I did confirm that I have the latest version (8.9.2 now), and I am in the editor, but I'm still not seeing an FX button. Here some screenshots; 1 showing the version, the other the editor screen, and the last, me lamenting the cruelness of this mortal realm:
I do use a few addons to hide ui elements such as the compass and quest tracker and such. Could those be interfering somehow? Is the FX button it's own thing, or is it hooked to a ui element that maybe I have turned off?Disclaimer: I may or may not be Zooey Deschanel in real life.

Edit: Seems like you do have this based on your recent post.
Is anyone able to show effects to others? I tried and cant, wonder if it has to do with settings, other addons, firewall etc.
would be huge plus if it works for all, close to 100k downloads now, big minus if cant

I like learning the technical side of things. And you obviously do not have access to the actual game engine so I'm assuming it's just client side UI elements?
Regardless how it's done, it is very impressive!
funny thing, for example hunters has the cave under the house, I placed the cloud in the yard and it also pops downstairs

R_K you might be interested in knowing that whatever optimization you included in version 72 that affected the Snow fall animation improved frame rates on the old Athlon II X4 with AMD HD 6950 Vid Card dramatically.
Frames with version 71 were a painful 31 (looked like about 9) and now are a comfortable 75 to 80, so very good work!

Success @R_K ! Fireflies (or magical dust motes in this case have been achieved! Yay!)
May I also add something to the wish list? Ohmigooses it would be super amazing if we could not just rotate the FX horizontally, but also pivot them backwards and forwards. I would sooooo love to place the new summoning circles and such on walls to make super spoopy glyphs (like Angelic warding in Supernatural! ).
And I just want you to know, my sister Luna and I were just in Banished Cells I last night for the event and I saw the glyphs on the walls and told her how I soooo would love those as a housing object. Are you like...a mind reader? haha. Wait...that would mean you can hear my internal fan-girling. Ugh! Get out of my head! LOL
@mayasunrising Love that clip with the magical dust motes! So beautiful!
And to answer your questions: Yes, Yes and Yes. I just uploaded 8.9.83 which adds some basic categories for the effects -- which was needed because the list has already grown quite large -- but it also made room for a number of additional sigils and glyphs, including a number of the ones shown in your screen capture from Banished Cells. And since I think you might appreciate it... I also added a Gate, Spellcraft effect. Not sure if anyone will recognize where that was shown by ZeniMax -- way, way back. But it's absolutely amazing IMO. Also, as for pitching these effects to be semi- or fully vertical: Yes - that's on its way too.

@mayasunrising Also, 8.9.9 will now allow you to pitch most Effects by any degree you'd like, so those Sigils - for example - can now be Horizontal, Vertical or anything in between.
