Opening old, non .Duf files in DS 4.8

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Did a search with no help, so asking here. Is there a way to open old .daz files in DS4.8. I have lots of viable projects I want to revisit, but it seems more and more I am getting errors and the files not opening. I  even though about reinstalling DS3, but I still can't resave them in .Duf format, so that would be pointless right? Any ideas?

    You're probably missing some of the "data" files needed for those scenes.

    Try reinstalling DS3 to see if you can open the scenes. If not then you can recreate the missing "data" files: look in the log to see what files are missing, load the corresponding products in a temp scene, inject the morphs that were used, and save. That should add the corresponding data files back in the DS3 data folder.

    Do that till you can open the scene in DS3. Then as long as the DS content directory used by DS3 is listed in DS4 too it should open.

     

    edit: if they are really old scenes I would suggest you resave the scene files in the latest version of DS3 too.

    Sometimes you can save them by reopening them in 3 and repopulating the auto_adapted/data folder for 3 and copying to your current data folder.

    What exactly is happening...because this only has a chance of working if it is 'not found' errors.
