"Victoria 4.2 Creature Creator Morphs" not working in DS4.6P [RESOLVED]

I don't normally use the Creature morphs on V4, but I had an idea for an alien character that needed the head morphs. I'm using the new zipped archives (I'm in the middle of updating all of my content files), and when I double-click on the icon for the Creature morphs, the dialog box pops up, the progress bar scrolls across to 100%, and then nothing. The morphs don't show up in the Parameters tab or in the Shaping tab -- they simply don't load at all. All of my other morph sets appear to work, and I don't get any error messages.

Anyone else having this issue, or know what might be going on?

Thanks...

    They work for me. They show up in Parameters > Morphs|Shapes > Creature Creator. You have to separately select the head for the head morphs to show up.

    Yeah, I know -- I can see Elite, International Faces, Morphs++, etc., but the Creature morphs simply don't load and DS isn't throwing up any kind of warning or error.

    And if you look in explorer, do you have ..\My Library\Runtime\Libraries\!DAZ\Victoria 4\bodyMorphs\64-ps_mr258_Grps.pz2? Do you get the PowerLoader dialogue when you load a new V4?

    Yes, I have the file (as you can in the screenshot); and yes, the PowerLoader dialog comes up when I load a new figure, but whether I select the Creature morphs in the PowerLoader dialog box or whether I try to inject them manually by selecting V4 and then double-clicking on the Creature morphs icon, they still don't load (and still no warnings or errors from DS that I can see -- I've been looking through the log file, but even though I can see where they're called, I can't see anything showing that they failed).

    And this is on a newly loaded V4?

    Also when you installed the morphs did you run the DzCreateExPFiles-V4.bat file to initialise the morphs?

    The .bat should be in your content folder in Runtime\libraries\!DAZ just click/double click on it to run. Once run try again on a newly loaded V4.

    THAT got it. I recall from the last time I installed this morph set that it was one of those that needed to initialize itself, and since this time I installed it from the DIM zips, that didn't happen. Thank you very much -- it's working properly now.

    Nice result. Glad I could help.

    I don't mean to resurrect an old thread, but I cannot for the life of me get these V4.2 Creature Morphs to work...I've tried everything in this thread to date.  I've even tried the update fix and the V4.2 to V3 fix that the Documentation Center suggested.  The .bat ran but doesn't seem to have done the trick.  I'm out of ideas..

    Help? :)

    What version of DS?

    How did you install them (DIM/manual/connect)?

  • PiscesdreamsPiscesdreams Posts: 91

    Version 4.8 and both V4.2 and creature morphs were installed via DIM.

    I've also ensured there are no duplicate directories of either the morphs and/or the figures.
