an opengl hack for bloom, emboss and other effects (http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34585)
i understand that this compatibility is not your goal, so i just wanna know if i should say goodbye to this?
ps: version previous to 2.x works with it.

Mostlikely, yes, say goodbye to it until someone updates the data file to support the latest version of GZDoom.

ok. thanks for reply.

No, it doesn't work and it won't ever work.
QEffectsGL requires old style OpenGL, meaning no shaders, preferably no vertex buffers and doing everything with the fixed function pipeline. None of these things exist anymore in GZDoom 2.x which is 99.9% a modern core profile application - the only exception being that it uses immediate mode to render from CPU-side buffers because uploading those to the GPU as frequently as needed is not fast enough.
