Quote - But mytoon.pz2 works perfect when i use it by selecting v4.2++Muscle character.
And then select "Import from the file menu" and click mytoon.pz2.

And it works fine when you apply it from the pallet. This sounds very strange to me, I would have thought that if it works from the pallet it should work from readScript. Are you absolutely sure the path in the radScript line is correct, I think it is probably case sensitive, by which I mean that "Julla" and "julla" are not the same, neither are "MYTOON.PZ2" and "MYTOON.pz2".

Perhaps svdl is right and the comment lines are the problem.

I'm grasping at straws here (slim chances). Do you have multiple Runtime folders, if the MYTOON.PZ2 is in a different Runtime that could be the cause.

You could try rebuilding the "MYTOON.PZ2" by a different method. First make sure the original "MYTOON.PZ2" is backed-up to a safe place.  Apply "MYTOON.PZ2" to your figure from the pallet, or by import. Save a pose for your figure using the "Include morph channels in pose set?" option. Save it to RuntimelibrariesPoseJullaMYTOON.PZ2.

Before you go to the trouble of stripping the translations and rotations out of this file, test it by applying the v4.2++Muscle.cr2, to make sure it sets the morphs.

If it does set the morphs, download and install the free utility "Morph Manager 4" (MM4). Load your new pz2 in MM4 click the "More Options" button, select "Delete all channels from file", this will delete all channels except the morph (targetGeom) channels. Save the file back to disk.

You can get MM4 from:

Whilst you are there also get "CR2 Editor 1.51" by John Stallings it can be very useful for editing poser files. You might also like to get another free cr2 editor "CR2Builder" from:

And you should have a good text editor, EditPad Lite is quite good, and it's free. You can get it from:
