Re-Installed DAZ and all content through DIM...Missing Files

So I recently re-installed everything with DIM and basically just did a clean slate of my DAZ Installation. I tried loading up some of my old projects, luckily I made a full backup of my original Library.

I tried loading some of my older projects and It seems that there are tons of files missing from my new library that are in /data/auto_adapted that I think are related to Urban Future 3. Did something change with the DIM versions of these installs?

    In looking at some other files missing I discovered that Bot for Genesis is also giving me an error. The weird thing is that I searched for the file and it is present in /data/ but it one directory further in than what the project expected. So this is really puzzling.

    Ok, so I changed the title of this thread so it makes more sense.

    So after opening up several more of my old projects I am coming upon and series of missing files that I do not at all understand. I double checked my original backup, where everything worked as expected and in a few of my older renders I am getting the following message:

    Some assets needed to load the file were missing.  The content may not work as expected.
The following files could not be found:
/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/GenePool/MCMAnubisHdEyesClosedR.dsf
/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/GenePool/MCMAnubisEyesClosedL.dsf
/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/GenePool/FBMAnubis.dsf
/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/GenePool/FHMAnubis.dsf
/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/GenePool/MCMAnubisHdEyesClosedL.dsf
/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/GenePool/PBMAnubisLegs.dsf
/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/GenePool/MCMAnubisEyesClosedR.dsf

    I was able to resolve my issue with Urban Future 3, though I do not know if this was the right call. I copied all the files from my old Library and the project loaded. But these files are nowhere to be found, even in my original Library.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks.

    It looks like you don't have Anubis installed. Did you have it and one point and returned it?

    That is part of the problem. I have never owned any Anubis product and this render doesn't use it. It just uses Azumi and Chambre d'amour. It is really weird.

    Do you have the Cuban Diabolo Shoes for Genesis? At one point the Anubis data files were accidentally included in that product. Is this a .daz scene that won't open, or a .duf?

    Yes! I do have those shoes and I think they are being used in one of these scenes. My scenes are all .duf

    Okay, that's where those missing file messages are coming from, so you can ignore them.

    I don't remember those messages ever coming up before when I made those projects. Do I possibly need to re-install that product?

  • fixmypcmikefixmypcmike Posts: 19,583

    No, the problem is that the product has been fixed, but scenes you saved before the fix have the extra data files referenced. Is it causing problems, other than the annoyance of having error messages?

    So, one of my other saved scenes gives me the following error on load:

    Some assets needed to load the file were missing.  The content may not work as expected.
The following files could not be found:
/data/Parris/Bot Genesis/Bot Left Forearm/Morphs/Parris/FBMVictoria5.dsf

    Now the strange thing about this one is that I located the file at:

    /data/Parris/Bot Genesis/Bot Left Forearm/Morphs/Parris/Bot Genesis/FBMVictoria5.dsf

    I naturally do not want to mess with the file structure, but it is really odd because I never had this problem with most of these scenes re-opening before now.

    Some of them may have been updated since you originally installed and built the scene, so now when loading the scene it's looking in the 'old' location....

    If I copy the file in question for Bot Genesis to the old location, thus there would end up being two of them, would this cause an issue?

    I'd do it the opposite. Edit the *.duf and point the old references to the new locations.
