Depending on your goal, you could try loading individual parts instead of the preload and see if there's enough to do what you want.
Yep, I thought of that too, but a hospital ward without beds doesn't quite work. Maybe when they are on sale again but I can't pay $17.
I also had a problem with the East Park Ward set, even though I owned the three required products (West Park Ward, West Park and West Park Legacy). Daz3D couldn't locate the obj files (for instance wpw_ward.obj) and a couple other items.
I thought it might be a DIM problem, but the manually downloaded zip files of the West Park series were identical to the DIM installed files. However, the East Park Ward manual download and DIM installations were different as follows:
ZIP file:
IM00012628-02_EastParkWardDS\Content\Environments\Architecture\West_P_Ward\East_Park_Ward
!EastPark_Ward.duf
!EP_EastPark_Ward.duf
!WPL_EastPark_Ward.duf
DIM:
\Daz 3D\Library\Environments\Architecture\West_P_Ward\East_Park_Ward
!EastPark_Ward.daz
!EP_EastPark_Ward.daz
!WPL_EastPark_Ward.daz
I manually copied the above files into the Daz3D runtime, but I still had errors. I used DIM to install the Poser versions of West Park Ward, West Park and West Park Legacy. After that, I had no more problems.
Looking back, this was a simple fix, but I had several very frustrating hours before it worked. I don't know if the "*.daz" versus "*.duf" difference is important.
Thank you for your time, and happy rendering!
I can't get East Park Lobby to work at all in DS 4.6.1.17. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
The product readme online says there should be 3 installers:
Poser Core
DSON core
DAZ Studio Legacy.
The product library and DIM offers only 2 files:
East Park Lobby (which installs Poser files)
East Park Lobby StudioCF (which installs .DAZ files, not DUF files.).
Where are the DUF files?
When I double click !Pre_EPark_Lobby.daz, I get an rror message telling me to look in the log file. The log has this:
Merging file !Pre_EPark_Lobby.daz...

... for many more files.
I believe I have the prerequisites installed, but it is hard to tell, because the product web pages still screw up and list the same prerequisite multiple times. I have installed the following files with the DIM:
West Park DS
West Park Lobby DS
East Park
East Park Lobby
East Park Lobby StudioCF
I see where the problem is and will get it fixed. For your error make sure you have the legacy version of the west park lobby installed it will have the data files that it is looking for.
East park does have the normal installers for the product but it looks like they weren't converted to DIM correctly so i will grab them and get that done this week.

Hello,
I've seen this too and what it looks like is that texture add ons which comes with a Preload scene refer to the .dsf (DS 4 files) while if you have only installed the .duf (for DS 4.5+) they will fail. By installing both versions (both for 4.5+ and for 4) this works. Save with the texture sets for curious hallway to mention one item except West/East park where this problem occurs.
I installed West Park Legacy and West Park Lobby Legacy. Now I can load East Park Lobby. Thanks for the workaround, Totte.
Totte's workaround has me up and running with East Park Lobby. But I'd like to uninstall all the legacy stuff that is needed to make this usable, so I look forward to your real fix in the DIM.
Edit: I see you mentioned using the Legacy stuff, too. Thanks to you too for the workaround, Jen.
I don't know exactly how they're going to fix this to cover different Studio versions (4.0 and 4.5+)
I have them all but have not installed yet.
But in general (I use DIM) if a product
is not just textures
and is not listed as DSON
and in the filters says it can be used in Studio versions other than 4.5
I install the Poser version and go from there (load up, adjust materials, save out as .duf to use later).
Edited to add: In this case even though the East Park is textures, I would install the Poser version to keep them all together. This does NOT apply to lights, cameras, shaders of course which are Studio specific.
It is a common problem with other products also. Seems that at some point when converting old stuff to the new DSON file format, only the main products were converted. It makes some sense, because in thesis the add-ons are just material presets for the main product, but a preload set tries to load not just materials, but the geometries also, pointing to the old data folder (that one with 3_0; 4_0_2; or whatever that is not the Artist's name), so it is basically pointing to an inexistent folder if you installed just the DSON version of a converted product.
Some series does get converted all at the same time so you don't run into that issue but sometimes i have to update the base pack for something and do the conversion. I have a long list of things that have to be converted and am working as fast as I can to get to them. East park does have the old installers for the update but the dim files aren't right. I am repacking it and hope to have it up asap

Thank you, Jen.
interesting discussion. :) i manually d/l the poser files. but installing one at a time so i can rename the library folders to keep track of what is what.
hope i'm installing it all correctly.for no troubles.
sometimes i see the required repeated on the product page. have to close the store page and reopen in fresh tab to see it correctly. happens in Safari and in IE
East park should now have the Legacy, DS, and Poser installers.
I have installed the DUF version and it is working for me. Thank you.
A quick query — if I want to hit every one of the West/East Park and Parkside Whatever items plus ALL the dependent add-ons and extras in my installer archive, in the store, or in my Product Library page, is it enough to just search on "park"? Will that leave anything out (I'm not worried about extra false hits, I can easily ignore them)?
There are some that don't have Park in the name -- The Overlook comes to mind.
<headdesk> I knew there was something I was missing — OK, search for "park|overlook". Anything else?
(FWIW, I have noticed the new zips have much more complete names than the sometimes unintelligibly abbreviated old executable installers.)
Vandalized Tube Station is the only other one I've found.
Got it, thanks. This would have been a lot easier if we still had a link to "stuff using this product" like we had in the old store.
Agreed :)
One day maybe.. but yea, I think that's about all of them.
here comes a list that I've found at the Member forum some times ago, maybe you'll find it helpful to sort out your parts of West Park/East Park (http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/26073/ Entry #7):
Ah thanks for posting that, I couldn't find it when I looked!
