Installing third party content... Can't find runtime folder?!

adoniogts

Greetings!

I am currently trying to install third party content in Daz 4.9 manually. I am running on Windows 8.1 and have successfuly installed contento using the Install Manager.

The content I am trying to install is the Morphing Beer Can: http://trekkiegrrrl.dk/mpp4.htm

In the folder of the Morphing Beer Can there are three folders: geometries, Libraries and Textures.

I am pretty new in the Daz 4.9 world and this would be my first manual install. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Create a folder inside My library called Runtime. Inside that put the contents of the beercan zip. You will find the cans located in your poser prop directory under the username Trekkiegirl

Wonderful! It worked! Thanks a lot! :D

It works like that for all third party content? Just put it in the Runtime folder?

Most content will include a Runtime folder, and may even have another (unneeded) folder containing that. But yes, the Runtime (if theer is one) goes in the My Library folder (where it will mege with the existing folder), or the Geometries, Textures, and Libraries folders go in the Runtime folder.

Yes. That is exactly it. Although this set has no runtime which was odd, most will, like Richard says.

Watch the file structure of the folders and you can easily find out where the PA puts the content, since it isn't always intuitive in DAZ.

EDITED: DAZ formatted third party content may install in different directories. The DAZ ones. But this method should work for POSER content.

So I have to create in My Library a new Runtime Folder for each content? Or can all files be in one Runtime Folder?

Should I name the Runtime Folder with the beer can geometries and such as Runtime Beer Can? That is... If there has to be a different Runtime Folder file for each content...

No, you only ever need 1 runtime. All poser content should go in the same runtime.

Same question but for Daz content. I made a runtime folder for Daz but I can't find it in my content library. Is it working differently?
