Saved over base genesis 8 female morph *FIXED*

edited March 2021 in The Commons

while fiddling with one of my OCs, I made a major error. I clicked: File > Save as > Support asset > figure, and I just spammed next by mistake and ended up saving over the base genesis 8 female morph so now, whenever I  load in any female model, it loads in my OCs body and face too. 

The biggest issue is a lot of the morphs aren't there anymore, even when I select to show hidden sliders. I've tried uninstalling genesis 8 starter essentials, even unlinking my private content library, loading the base genesis 8 model and re saving it as a support asset but relinking my library brings the issue back. I own many morphs from the Daz store and some third party morphs. I don't know how to get this issue resolved. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

    The Genesis 8 Female is not a morph and in general you cannot save her over.

    When you did "Save as->Support Asset", did DS ask you where to save and under which name to save? - If it did, yo can search for that name in "...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\" or you can check the save dates on the folders in there to find the folder where any new morphs were saved.

    If DS didn't ask anything when saving support assets, then you can probably reset the involved morps with the following procedure;

    1. Open DS and load "Genesis 8 Basic Female" (to an empty scene)
    2. Help->Troubleshooting->View Log File (clear the log, close it and select "Save" when asked)
    3. Left Click at "Active Pane Options" tab->Preferences->Choose "Show Hidden Properties" (part 4 zeroes only 'visible' dials)
    4. Right Click at Parameters Tab->Zero->Zero Figure (Zeroes the value of all the 'visible' dials)
    5. Right Click at Parameters Tab->Memorize->Memorize Figure (Sets the current value of all the dials as their default value)
    6. Edit->Save As->Support Asset->Save Modified Assets (Writes the changed default value to the morph files that were changed)

    When saving "Modified Assets" DS shows a dialog and asks for confirmation;
    "The following file(s) will be permanently modified:" - "Accept/Cancel" - Choose "Accept"

    Close DS and wait -> Open DS again and load "Genesis 8 Basic Female"
    Help->Troubleshooting->View Log File (Save the logfile somewhere you can easily find it)

    If the problem was not fixed, attach the log to your post with the "Attach a file" under the "Leave a Comment" window, that way we can have a look at it.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling will never fix a problem like this because the user created a new morph that is unknown to the installer/deinstaller.

    Here is exactly what I did:

    - Loaded my OC into a blank scene

    - File > Save as > Support Asset > Figure/Prop Asset

    - Saved file as "..." in my USB, where I keep my Daz project/scene files. All of my Daz product files are saved on my harddrive. I later deleted that file I made off my USB before realizing the morphs now change all of my genesis 8 female models

    -  Asset directory, I chose either: D:\Users\Public\My DAZ 3D Library or D:\Computer Folders\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library, the second one being where I install all of my manual installs and 3rd party content, the first being where Daz central saves my stuff (I think)

    - I then mistakenly left everything as is:

    • Vendor Name = DAZ 3D
    • Product Name = Genesis 8
    • Item Name = Female
    • Set Content Type = Actor > Character
    • Set Compatibility Base = Genesis 8 Female (or whatever the default is)
    • Write Gemoetry Definitions checked off
    • Write Parameter Definitions checked off
    • Write UV Definitions checked off
    • Compress File(s) checked off

    It then proceeded to work for a very long time in which thats when my mistake occured. 

    I did all  of your steps, @PerttiA and still no dice. I will attach my log.

     

    Thank you.

    If I understand this problem correctly, there is a morph folder somewhere and you need to delete your OC morphs from it. Do a computer search with some of the parameters and it should show up for you.

    What did your character look like after you had done step 4 in PertiiA's procedure?

    It looks like your character wasn't zeroed.

    Okay guys UPDATE!

    I read the logs after attaching it and uninstalled the morphs that appeared at the top of the log. I then opened base G8 female and for the first time it loaded with no morphs. I redid everything he said above and finally it worked. It's weird because I did this exact same thing last time and it didnt work but what it did was end up loading half the morphs my OC had on. I guess I just had to keep slowly uninstalling and saving over the model? I'm not entirely sure myself but the problem is fixed and a massive headache is now illeviated. 

     

    Thank everyone!
