I can't find anyone else talking about it but I got an error running the script to create the shirt design.  It says Could not find file c:/Users/Public/Documents/MY DAZ 3D LIBRARY/Message Shirt/3duG8FMSMTShirt_MTM_**********_Front.png

Tried to reinstall using the installer and it didn't fix it.  Even tried to reinstall manually and it still won't work.  I looked and that folder doesn't exist.

    That file path looks wrong.

    How are you installing?

    And try to look in your log (Help > Troubleshooting > View Log File and see what the error message is there.

    The Message Shirt script works by creating custom textures based on the text you enter. However, there looks to be a few problems with what you have posted. Firstly, the path does not appear to be correct as the "Message Shirt" folder should be in the Runtime/Textures subfolder, not loose in the base folder. Also, you have an asterisk in the first part of the filename which relates to the clothing item where there should be an 8: 3duG8FMSMTShirt. Not sure why or how you managed to get in that situation but I would guess that you have messed up the config somehow which is probably not being reset when you re-install?

    Thank you for you replies.  The asterisk was a typo, apologies.  I will say I setup the installer to install everything on my F drive which is a 3tb ssd.  Did this because my C drive crashed once before.  Interestingly it has worked before and only found out it doesn't work this last time trying to use it.

    To uninstall I used the daz installer first. 

    Then searched my drives for anything with message and deleted anything to do with message shirt magic. 

    Resarted my computer and verified everything was gone.

    Restarted and installed.

    Opened daz and loaded G8F then added shirt to G8F

    Ran script and got the error.

    Cleared log and ran script again this time not getting error but it never changed the shirt.

    Is there a config file somewhere I am missing to totally erase MSM?

    Is the script crashing when you load it or try to use it? If you can launch the script OK then you can try changing the texure path with the button in the bottom left corner?

    If it won't even let you run it then presumably there is a config file somewhere that is messing it up. Although I don't understand why the steps you took did not remove any such file as the only thing I saw that looked like a config file was in a folder named after the product.

    Perhaps someone else knows what other places a Daz script can save configuration?
