Re-installation issues

_

I recently un-installed Daz and moved my content to a different drive as I'd run out of space. It looks like everything transferred and the directory structure appears the same (with the exception of the drive name). I used the search function in the new installation of Daz to locate the directory and it appears to have fount everything, but functionally it's different in that I'm noticing most (99+%) all my morphs are gone from the slider-list view. The figures and shapes are all in the smart content directory, but I can't apply them.

Any suggestions as I don't want to download 1.3TB of files again.

 

Thanks in advance.

Sometimes, I can choose a character from my new directory, but it often winds up being shaped like a base G8 and doesn't change when I adjust the slider.

I'll provide any screenshots if that might help.

Here's one example of a screenshot with a character loaded and it has all the basic parameters for a G8 male, but I notice that it's not called Dark Guard in the upper right panel and when I adjust the sliders below for HD. nothing changes to the figure except for the height. There are some optional character morphs which show up and they do alter the form, but most are missing or don't actually have any noticable effect.

Your morphs and textures for Dark Guard don't seem to be in their proper place

Under the root-folder, whether it is Content, My Daz Something, whatever, you should have a folder named Data. That is where all the morphs are being stored.

The path to G8M morphs is "...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male\Morphs\..." in one of the sub-folders you should have a *.duf file with the Dark Guard in the filename in one form or another.

Textures are harder to pinpoint as the "standard" ends at "...\Runtime\Textures\..."

Did you previously have content in more than one Content-library?

I'll see if I can find the duf. I just had the one original content directory that I copied.

Can you go to "Content Directory Manager", expand all 4 sections, and post a screenshot?

I did find the file(s). I dragged the file onto a base G8 Male with no effect and loaded the file into daz also, but it has none of the character features.

It appears the content directory is still mapped to things no longer on the C drive and or things that still need to move

You need to add the D: location under "Daz Studio Formats".

Seems to work fine now.

I think I owe you an ice cream or a cigar.

Don't smoke and diabetic, but I'm glad that fixed it.

Well, thanks a bunch. I learned some things I needed to know and got my mess sorted out.
