Quote - Using a Mac with OSX I've had a problem with two obj-files: the House-Mouse from DAZ and Jessi in Poser 6. The obj-files of the House Mouse are different between Mac and PC, IIRC there are extra line-feeds in the Mac version and that is enough to prevent RTEJava from working. As I have a PC also I tried to decode the stuff with RTEEncoder and it didn't work either. I don't remember exactly what the problem was with Jessi, but I think it was that the time-stamp is different between the Mac and PC versions, and that RTEEncoder didn't work here either with the Mac version of Jessi. Edited to add that no, I wouldn't hesitate as long as I am sure I have the correct source-file.
DAZ seem to have a habit of making changes to OBJ files which break them as keys for RTE-encodes. Apart from the PC/Mac difference (The PC textfile standard uses a 2-character EOL-marker, the Mac only one), the copyright-notice comment has changed with every revision to V3. And that's the only change to the OBJ file. I'm not sure that they even realise they're doing it. I've hit this problem a few times, on purchased stuff and freebies, and merchants need to be careful which version of the keyfile they've used. And I have nothing but praise for the responses I've had when I've contacted the content-creators involved.
