Victorias metadata is missing!

jaxtone

I ordered a character from Renderosity called Myrtle Clapsaddle but I noticed this character where made for Victoria, not Genesis 2 Female. “Daz version for G2F but you must own "V4 for Genesis2 Female" script (http://www.daz3d.com/victoria-4-for-genesis-2-female) in order to use the MAT files because this character was created for V4.

So I bought the “Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 Female” plugin/script from DAZ as they told at Renderosity but nothing seems to work as expected and besides my allergic reaction on DAZ
system explanations there are no logical explanation to what happends next! So if someone out there feels more experienced in DAZ system please advice me of how this can be solved in
an easy way!

1. Start up with loadingVictoria 4.2 since I have ever seen anything that are mentioned as Victoria 4 io my version of DAZ.
2. The first thing that happends is that information about no Metadata appears.
3. I tried to load the Metadata information one by one but it took me about 2 minutes to understand that I would have been older than Father Christmas before this mission would have been finalized.The strange thing is that all Metadata is located exactly at the same spot DAZ tells me it can´t be found!

My question is if there is an easier way to import or re-import the missing Metadata that actually is located exactly where DAZ tells me it can´t fiod it? And I also wonder if there are parts in this mess I might have missed that haven´t showed up yet?

Victroia 4 for Genesis 2 Female is not Victoria 4, it's a shape and uv set for G2F. The metadata heer is contained in the "Power Loader" package for Victoria 4 (and for morph sets), It isn't functionally required, though, it just gives a thumbnail for the morph set in Power Loader and allows you to choose to load only some of the morphs. The missing file at 3 means you hadn't run the \Runtime\Librariesz!DAZ\DzCreateExPFile-v4 file - though DIM should do that for you.

Vicky 4 was released at a time when Metadata never existed. Some of the older content has been playing catch-up and getting metadata for it, others don't yet have it.
