"The issues spearcarrier is having have to do with the original messes not the script as far as I can tell atm. So reminder for all, yes the mesh has to be "one", and yes, D/S prefers quads"

If that were the case wouldn't I have been able to convert something? I need to sit down and ask you these things better (you've been fabulous with the help so far). The creator suggested that it's encountering a problem that's shutting it down in the message I got from them - I don't know because it's not like I'm offered a log when this happens or anything. It just flat stops and that's the end.

I thought others who have turned up with my exact same issue talk about going back to an earlier version and things working again. To wit: "Hi indeed I can confirm that the update breaks the plugin in that it seems to disable my ability to create "Dyncloth" from externally imported meshes but still works with native Daz studio primatives." Alas, I don't have that option. To be honest, I'm not sure if they mean a DAZ update or a script update.

Overall I want very much to say the script isn't a total loss for me, especially considering I'm in a position where $8 is a lot of money and this was a real investment by me for a project I care about overly much. I want to be able to say this positive thing, but I haven't figured out what to do just yet and for the past few days I've been bedridden sick again. I hope when this migraine goes away I can return to experimenting... but I'm not holding my breath because when I get sick my work falls behind and it sometimes takes me months to catch back up again. By then, who knows, there might be even more developments for or against the situation.
