Help on a missing file . . .

solarview

Hey Guys,
I have being working on the transfer process of moving content around to accommodate the new install manager location preferences.
And I am really liking the new install manager, Long overdue.
But I'm noticing not everything I've purchased is showing up as available in DIM. Even though they're there available on my account page.

So I've been moving things around, and testing as I go to make sure different products and older renders will open. Most do.
But I do have a few characters in my collection that were purchased through Renderosity that are seeing an issue. With each of these characters, I'm getting a "missing file" error message. Here's the name as it's listed in the dialog box:

data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/Victoria 4/FBMVictoria4.dsf

So what is FBM, and where can I find it?
I assume it's 'Full Body Morphs', but in searching the store can't find it.
I do already have a number of V4 extras loaded, such as: V4.2 Morphs++, V4.2 Muscle Maps, V4.2 Muscle Morphs, V4.2 Power Loader, etc.
None of these seem to resolve the problem.

Any thoughts on this one?

Thanks.

That is hunting the M4 and V4 Shapes for Genesis file. The V4 one to be correct. Have you Installed it yet?

Or did you Update the file to the new version? If so it will be a .duf file now. Just Dial the V4 shape into your figure as you had it before and save again. I think that will fix it.

It's true that not all products are available through DIM yet. Additional products get added frequently (most of the missing ones are older products). Also some things like software, plug-ins, and certain shaders aren't available through DIM.

Yes, FBM means "Full Body Morph." Do you own the V4 and M4 Shapes for Genesis, and if so, do you have it installed?

Hey guys, thanks for the quick replies.
Yes, I have V4 and M4 installed, plus the extras that I mentioned in the OP. I have noticed that when Studio starts up, it use to auto-load a Genesis base actor. Now it does not. And It is trying to find Genesis in the original 'Documents' folder. I have now moved everything over to the 'My DAZ 3D Library'. I have directed Studio to this new location via the 'Content Manager', so not sure why it's still looking in the old documents folder. But it does look there and then states the "Genesis file is missing" in a dialog box.

Hey Scott, that did it. I guess I had assumed that that was included in all the other V4 items I've mentioned here, previously purchased. But this particular FBM item wasn't, so I just purchased it and the characters are loading fine now.

Also, I got into preferences and found the adjustments to make to get Genesis loading properly with the new locations. So that's solved tool. :)

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the heads-up there.
