I'm befuddled. I installed the SDK -- after I figured out what it was -- and downloaded the upgrade lights script. But now I'm stuck. This a quote from the posting of the script on the DAZ forums to illustrate how far I've gotten:
"This script allows you to access new light parameters in DAZ|Studio 1.4.16.
To use:
If you have not already, you must install the DAZ|Studio Script Development Kit. CHECK!
Place Upgrade Lights.dsb into a DAZ|Studio content directory. CHECK!
Launch DAZ|Studio. CHECK!
Execute Upgrade Lights by double-clicking it from your content tab. CHECK!
You can now create more complex lights by running one of the scripts from the Studio/Lights/DS Defaults content folder. (The scripts in that directory were originally created by DAZ.) UGH!
First of all, how do I do this? I assume I'm supposed to run the scripts from the newly created DAZ Script IDE tab in the view menu since that's the only way I can reach that folder. But there are only three scripts in that folder -- the standard lights: point/distant/spot. Should there be more? And also, what's supposed to happen when I run them, because all I get is an error message at the bottom of the IDE pane.
Help?
