Trying to convert the M2 suit coat to M3 gives the following error:

Error! Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:UsersPaulPoser Pro 2012RuntimePythonposerScriptsPhilCWardrobe Wizard P9m0.py", line 11, in ww.ChooseMenuItem(0) File "C:Program FilesSmith MicroPoser Pro 2012RuntimePythonposerScriptsPhilCWardrobe Wizard P9ww.py", line 5167, in ChooseMenuItem File "C:Program FilesSmith MicroPoser Pro 2012RuntimePythonposerScriptsPhilCWardrobe Wizard P9ww.py", line 569, in Print UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfe in position 964: invalid start byte

Any ideas?

Poser Pro 2012, Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

I suggest you contact PhilC directly, he is always willing to help.

Usually get this when a resource file has an anomaly in it. Could even just be a bad ascii character or line ending. Very difficult to track down. I'll be happy to look over it but I would need all the files which may be a problem because many of them are not allowed to be redistributed.

Oh, bugger. :(

Try checking the log, it may help give an indication. This might be in:- C:UsersPublicDocumentsPoser Pro 2012 ContentRuntimePythonposerScriptsPhilCWardrobe Wizard P9

or similar, or search PC for "ww.log"

Thanks, mate. Just had an idea, may or may not be relevant...

My old copy of WW is still in an external Runtime, would that cause a conflict, or other error? Not using it though; I'm using the one built into PP2012.

Here it is. I haven't a Scooby what it's telling me, apart from there's an error. :)

With Poser closed, try finding ZClothing_MilMan_blSuitCoat.dat Delete it. Open Poser and try again.

Its a long shot but worth a try.

Also try opening the original coat's OBJ file in a text editor and see if you can find any anomalies. Usually in the form of bad characters, Chinese? I've seen them slip into the start of the "f" lines section.

Will do. Meantime, I tried converting the P4 Male Tuxedo to M3 and got exactly the same error. Makes me think it's not a problem with the OBJ. I'll still take a look, as you suggest.
