Quote - Hi all, a quick question for Studio users:-

Does Studio still use the Content folder before the Runtime folder:-

EG. ContentRuntimeLibraries etc.

All the best.

Great Uncle LROG

No and it never has, right from the start the instructions for installing content has always been to point it to the folder the Runtime folder is in, doesn't matter if that folder is called Content, My Library or Pigs Might Fly, that  is where you unpack installers and zips.

So you package your zips the same way for DS that you do for Poser, in other words when you open the zip you see a runtime folder. As an example you've made a dial spun character and texture set for Genesis, so on opening the zip you should see a People folder and a Runtime folder, your textures are in the usual place in the Runtime folder, while your character preset or shaping preset and material preset(s) are in sub folders of the People folder.

It's not like it's rocket science, but a poorly package zip can cause all sorts of problems for the uneducated DS user, and that's old as well as new users.
