Cris Palomino

Can you give us a bit more information? What did you try to do and what resulted? If you got error messages, what were they?

SofaCitizen

Those don't look installed right to me so I can see why you are getting errors. Did you manually download and unzip them yourself?

yeah, does it cause a problem?

Richard Haseltine

Yes, you have a fiolder named for the zip and that cporbably contains a folder named content - the folders from the /packagename/content/ folder need to be in the root My Library folder, merged with the other folders of the same name.

Instructions for manual installation

Ron Knights

If you use DIM to install your content, there will NOT be a "Content" folder. In the "ole days," DAZ installed stuff in a content folder, but no more. This can be confusing if you install stuff manually. Some of the old content really bungled the job of file and folder placement.

Richard Haseltine

"Content", like "My Library" or "My Daz 3d Library," was just a default name. The Content folder in the zip is there to separate content from other types of file, such as plug-ins.

Ron Knights

Richard, I've manually installed my content since the days of Poser 4. In the old stuff, all too many PAs used an extra Content folder. You had a Content folder nestled under another Content folder. That would be one reason DAZ Studio or Poser wouldn't find files.

(In my lazy old age, I've just let DIM do all the work, and hope it all comes out in the wash.)

I have the same problem with characters that I have used for over a year. Since the upgrade to the latest Daz Studio I get the missing files error.

Richard Haseltine

That might have been an error zipping up or unzipping. A lot of people put their files in a Content, or later a My Library folder in the zip but that wasn't needed and should not have been retained when unpacking.

In that case it probably isn't the same issue, if it is just a few files or even one. There was a change in the way Daz Studio handles the file paths whicgh means that where it was previously ignoring doubled-up separators like "//Runtime/Textures/somefolders" it is now dropping the foldername after the // and so looking for /Textures/somefolders", which of course it can't find. Is that what you have?
