Can't get NBM for V4 to work

Hi,

I recently bought this NBM for V4, http://www.daz3d.com/nbm-for-v4

I at first installed it using DIM but after clicking V4 and injecting the morph, nothing seems to appear in the Parameters tab (even if I click the chest). I then clicked the chest to inject the morph there, but nothing happens too.

The readme says you gotta install it in the same folder as Victoria 4's runtime else it won't work so I got DIM to install it in 'My Library' where my Victoria 4.2 file is. (I got Victoria 4.2's location by right-clicking the V4.2 icon in the Content Library and then going to file location). But by doing this NBM's injection files don;t even show up in the Content Library.

Please help?!

    Please post screenshots of your DAZ Studio Content Directory Manager (Edit>Preferences>Content Library pane) showing the Poser Formats list, your Install Manager folders (click the gear cion at top-right to open preferences and go to the Installation tab) and an operating system window showing the folders with the Victoria 4.2 CR2 file and the NBM injection poses.

    Thanks, here are the screenshots. Also after posting this I manually extracted the files so that they'd be in the same directory as Victoria 4.2's runtime and they do appear in the Content Library. But still nothing happens when I click on a V4.2 model and double click the injection file. The blacked-out username is the same for all photos.

    The first image, the screenshot is needed of when you click on the "Content Directory Manager" button in the bottom field, and the actual folders that are connected show.

    The other two, however, look correct.

    Is there a C:\Users\Public\Documents\My Daz 3d Library\Runtime\Libraries\!DAZ\Victoria 4 folder?

  • RobertDyRobertDy Posts: 270

    Yup, though it seems that this Victoria 4 folder contains only the NBM morphs. NBM was somehow installed in this path too..

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,907

    Try removing that folder and see if things then work correctly.

    I deleted only the Victoria 4 folder and it still doesn't work. Do I have to delete the entire path as well?

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,907

    No, only the Victoria 4 subfolder might be an issue. I can't see what other things might be causing your problem.

    anyone?? :( anyway i noticed that the file itself does not come with any installer, it's just a zip file. i manually unzipped the files into the same runtime folder as Vic 4.2. Might this be the cause of malfunction?

    Did the \Runtime\Libraries\!DAZ\Victoria 4 folder get merged with thee xisting one? The files you show in the screenshot above look to be in the right place. It is better to use Install Manager rather than a manual install when troubleshooting, even if you are set on using manual installs otherwise.

    I doubt they are merged because I see both original V4 files and NBM morph ones together in the same folder - in other words I manually extracted NBM into the existnig \Runtime\Libraries\!DAZ\Victoria 4 folder. If using DIM might be the key - do I manually delete those NBM files and use DIM all over agian?

    Yes, delete and start over to be sure there are no duplicates lurking around.
