Stopped working script in DS 4.7 - Props Export - PP2 exporter 20d

There was a good script for DAZ Studio. Worked fine in DS 4.6 - script created PP2 and optimized geometry of reducing the size for OBG.
In DS 4.7 geometry disappears ... Can you fix it?

    Is any alternative to this script to generate PP2 props from DS 4.7?

    Is this a link to the original file? You can't repost that without permission, and no one can edit the script and give you the modified version without permission. Someone could tell you how to edit it yourself, however.

    The last version of it was actually posted on the old forums, that way people could just copy & paste it into an empty DSA, sadly that forum is long gone (as is the archive) but I do have the code from that post and can post it here if anyone wants it.

    I had to put DAZ Studio 4.5, to use this script.

    No, it creates a .pp2 prop file.

    I managed to find a version of it posted by MFM on these current forums, dated September 2013.

    Looks like his last fix was for AoA's SSS.

    The script itself loads and exports, and the pp2 loads into the scene hierarchy, but there's no visual object.

    I used it just to export a standard cube prim.

    What saved into the OBJ:

    Cool information in here. Thanks for posting the link to the script !

    Glad i made a backup of the latest 4.6 before updating to 4.7 ...

    Good find for the code! thanks.

  • mCasualmCasual Posts: 4,607

    i located the problematic section of the code that makes it fail in DS4.8

    around line 741 there's a line of code that reads 

     

    oNode.setWSScale( DzMatrix3() )

     

    if we replace that line with

     

    //changes by mCasualJacques July 20 2015 ** begin **

    // oNode.setWSScale( DzMatrix3() );

    oNode.getScaleControl().setValue(1);

    oNode.getXScaleControl().setValue(1);

    oNode.getYScaleControl().setValue(1);

    oNode.getZScaleControl().setValue(1);

    //changes by mCasualJacques July 20 2015 ** end ** 

     

    it appears to work !!!

    so i wont need to stay in DS3 when building my props

     

    i'll double check that the code i got has the permissive copyright clause ...

     

    yes !

    

// DAZ Studio version 3.0 filetype DAZ Script

    yes !!!

     

    so i'll post the DS4.5+ compatible version on my site and on a Forum Thread

    well actually i better build or obtain a correct DzMatrix3

    in case the parent note has non-unity scaling

    so i wont use the getXScaleControl().setValue(1) way

    it will be

    oNode.setWSScale( DzMatrix3(1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0) ); if we're in DS4.5

    and if we're in DS 3 it will be the old code or this one if it's compatible

     

    and i'll fix the disappearing buttons issue 

    and there's an error in the props that make their default scale 0 instead of 1,

    so when you "zero" most of my props, they disappear because they get scaled to 0% !

     

    so around line 393

     

    /* mCasualJacques change - important that the default zero scale is 1 not 0 */

//writeLine("initValue 0");

writeLine(String("initValue %1").arg( nVal ));

/* mCasualJacques change - important that the default zero scale is 1 not 0 */
