This update does not include tags, correct?
The Content Wizard already creates the files in Runtime/support when you install smart content. That is the only way to install smart content into Daz. You can always copy the files out of there to wherever you want.
A script can create database entries - assets and prducts.
A script can create some aspects of products, but truly creating it does not seem to work except by creating the support runtime files and having the db ingest that. I spent over a week fighting the script API trying.
Thanks, for the time being that sounds like a valid workaround
Rob suggests otherwise, you may want to contact PA Support.
Thanks Richard. Since what I have works, at this point, I don't want to touch that part of the code. I might catch up with him for a 2.0 at some point.
I can't seem to get the metadata to work. I keep getting the following error:
16:27:46 GMT+0200 (Romance (zomertijd)): Building product metadata...
16:27:46 GMT+0200 (Romance (zomertijd)): Unable to open file for writing: F:/DAZ 3D/Studio/Runtime/Support/LOCAL_USER_84529_Money.dsx
16:27:46 GMT+0200 (Romance (zomertijd)): Error creating metadata for Daz Studio import: F:/DAZ 3D/Studio/Runtime/Support/LOCAL_USER_84529_Money.dsx
16:27:46 GMT+0200 (Romance (zomertijd)): There were errors during installation.
The product that is created is just empty, and none of the installed files have any metadata attached to them.
Could you post the Daz log? That will give me more information. Also, just to be sure, you are using the update from this week?
I believe so. I uninstalled and re-installed to make sure I had the lastest version. No update is visible in DIM.
Here's the log:
Ok, it looks like there are 2 things going wrong here.
I believe the first error is the cause of the second error but am not sure (it could be an invalid path, disk full, etc). Using the directions in the CW manual, delete the existing Money product in Daz Studio. Try again.
It's the invalid path thing. Since the zips I try to extract start with the "my library" directory, I set my install path one higher, but all the runtime files go of course into "my library", so CW seems to skip that directory. Unzipping them in a temp directory and re-zipping them "correctly" solves the issue. Should have noticed it myself.
Awesome! I am glad you got it working.
Does this make it possible for all my old files hidden away in lost and found to be in the correct place in smart files, or at least in my content?
If you are careful to name the product in CW exactly like it is in Daz Studio, then you can overwrite the bad metadata and it should leave lost and found. I have not tested this though.
any solution yet for the local user dublicate entries?
I know you can delete them manually but sometimes it's a pain when a product is just called shirt for example and I can't find it because I have so many shirts.
I'd prefer if the content wizard would not create local user smart content :S
The last patch may have fixed it... did you try it?
No, still the same issue with the latest version I got from the dim 1.0.5.4
Did you try it on a new product? If something was left around in the Daz DB, it wouldn't help. If you did try it on a new product, I need to see the new Daz log for when you installed it.
ok, sent you a pm
Hmmm. Thank you for the log. The log doesn't show anything as far as I can tell. The vendor store is identified correctly. The only thing I can see that is different is that you have added deviant art to the stores list. Just to be safe, let's try with the unmodified RSSmartContentConstants.dsa file from the latest update.
Which unmodified RSSmartContentConstants.dsa file?
I didn't modify anything
You must have at one point. From the log, your log lists deviant art and another one that is not in the installed RSSmartContentConstants.dsa file.
Ok, I wanted to verify that it wasn't something changed in the constants file (I didn't think it was, but nothing in the log jumped out at me). It only happens for clothes and characters? Very interesting. Now to figure out what is different for those that trips this on your machine.
Wait, does this thing only install stuff from the Daz store? Stuff that already installs with DIM?
Everything I've tried to install throws up an error. Why is it so complicated? I've got an installer, free, from Renerosity that intalls anything with no fuss whatsoever! You tell it what you want to install and it installs it. Bam. I just don't get the point of Content Wizard.
What installer? Does it also create smart content?
Content Wizard is mostly for creating smart content for all products that don't have any like renderosity stuff.
Without knowing what kind of error, I cannot tell you what is the problem. What are you doing? What does the log say?
Apologies for not having read through the thread.
I have a lot of content from Rendo, Adam Thwaites, etc already installed. I would like to Content Wizard to reinstall it for Smart Content goodness. Will that break stuff or cause duplications or something?
