Failed to add user alias problem

edited June 2021 in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I noticed there are quite a few duplicate formula posts in the forum, I was able to fix some based on advice found here, so I'm pretty grateful. 

I still have issues with duplicate formulas and I don't know which product is causing the problems.

here is the log file entry

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    "Failed to add user alias" - These are caused by alias-morphs. Alias-morphs are used to copy for example head-morphs (and expressions) from the main body to the head, so that when the user selects the head, the morph-dials are visible/usable.
    Not all morphs/expressions have aliases though and since many aliases are not written correctly, I delete them periodically, leaving only the ones that are located in DAZ 3D morph folders.

    "Chaos Giant" is looking for "ToonGenerations8", do you have that installed?

    "Noburo" is looking for "Dasan 8", do you have that installed?

    Thank you so much for your response,  Reinstalling Dasan did help, toongenerarion8 I didn't even know it was needed for the Cyclops, I do not have that one, not much into toons I guess, do you know where can I find the alias morphs? searched for those in the Liam folder but didn't find them.

    Where are the duplicate formula messages?

    I'm sorry Richard, the problem started for me as duplicate formulas because I ran out of space so I had to migrate items to another HD, I kept the duplicate formula headline by accident because that was what I was going to ask at first. I was able to fix the duplicate formula problems but couldn't fix the rest of the problems. Will try to edit the headline.

    First two warnings mean that the file Liam Head Base.dsf has bad "parent" data, as a result DS refuses to load it.

    I suspect those Alias failures are down to that bad "parent" data I just mentioned.

    The rest are pretty much the standard File A has an ERC link to File B, problem is it can't find File B to make the link.

    The first of those warnings is about "Reynard", in this case File A is trying to connect to another file in the same product, and failing. This is normally a simple mistake by the vendor, they have altered a file (or two) after they had made the ERC links, and didn't check to make sure they hadn't buggered up anything.

    You have another four similar warnings in that list.

    "Failed to add user alias" - These are caused by alias-morphs. Alias-morphs are used to copy for example head-morphs (and expressions) from the main body to the head, so that when the user selects the head, the morph-dials are visible/usable.
    Not all morphs/expressions have aliases though and since many aliases are not written correctly, I delete them periodically, leaving only the ones that are located in DAZ 3D morph folders.

    "Chaos Giant" is looking for "ToonGenerations8", do you have that installed?

    "Noburo" is looking for "Dasan 8", do you have that installed?

    Thank you so much for your response,  Reinstalling Dasan did help, toongenerarion8 I didn't even know it was needed for the Cyclops, I do not have that one, not much into toons I guess, do you know where can I find the alias morphs? searched for those in the Liam folder but didn't find them.

    If you are not installing the products inside DAZ ("Smart" Content/DAZ Connect), the morph files will be located in;

    ...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs (For Genesis 8 Female)
    ...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs (For Genesis 8.1 Female)
    ...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male\Morphs (For Genesis 8 Male)
    ...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs (For Genesis 8.1 Male)

    The "..." being the root folder of your Content Library

    The reason, why I don't remove alias-files that are located in "...\Data\...\Morphs\DAZ 3D\" is that some morphs are calling alias morphs located in there instead of the real morph/expression files.

    Now that you mention it, some problems started (especially with g8f 8.1) after installing some products with the Daz connect (I wanted to try it out) I didn't quite like it, so I went back to DIM or manual installation.

    There really should be a warning in LARGE RED LETTERS against the use of Connect... I know RH will disagree, but in general it just makes a mess out of everything and if you have used it, DS gives priority to files installed in location where Connect installs them, no matter how botched the installation was and refuses to find the correctly installed files in the traditional location - The fix is to uninstall the files (with Connect) that were installed by Connect and use DIM to install them again.

    Thank you very much, will try that

    I will disagree - if the files haev incorrect data then they will be broken however they are isntalled, if not and the paths are correct then they will work. Files installed by Connect cannot be moved, but they can be edited to fix issues just as other files can. 

    The exception is some scripts which are written with the expectation that they will be in a standard content directory.

    Except that manually downloaded files don't have the problems that Connect installations are having regularly, not to mention the problems caused by Connect calling DAZ servers and botching (updating metadata) installations that were previously functional.
