Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 10 10:34 am)
In p5 open the library click on figures, click on the up arrow folder till you get to a poser 5 and a downloads folder, click onthe + at the bottom of the screen and locate your p4 runtime...it will then add everthing!!! Kupa if you read this put these directions on the site, i don't know how many people have screwed thing up by moving there old runtimes
Yes I have it all linked, but the problem is that when I save as for a vue import, the links to the P4 stuff is still pointing to the original runtime, so when Vue imports it wants to know where all the P4 residing files are, that could include dozens of files if it's a complex/larg scene. So the theory is to drop in the runtime folder from P4 to P5 and see what happens. I'll back-up unaltered P5 runtime first and see what happens. Best wishes Jody
Hi, This is what I did: 1) Be shure Im not going to use Poser 4 any more in my life! 2) Copy the Poser 5 Libraries, Python, Sketches, Geometries and Texture directories into the old Poser 4 Runtime. 3) This way a overwrite the files with the same name in the correct way. 4) Move those directories to the Poser 5 Runtime. 5) Light a candle 6) And all works fine to me. :-D
that really depends which texture references your files use, if they use the full path or the :runtime:textures type of path, the full path c:directory?poser4runtimetextures will definately cause you problems, but the other one will work fine even after you move the files to Poser5, CorrectReference by Hogwarden will sort out the referneces for you, great program but be sure to only use it on the Poser4 files for now, not sure what it would do to the Poser5 stuff
I, too, ccopied all my P4 Runtime files into P5, but was careful not to overwrite anything that is unique to P5 content. Didn't have to use CorrectReference, and P5 finds everything without problem. BTW, the reason I did it this way is because I had a well organized P4 Runtime library structure that I wanted P5 to mimic, and I didn't want to have to maintain future downloads on two different Runtime Library structures (P4 and P5), plus I wanted to be able to remove P4 entirely from my hard drive. Now I see with the new P5 patch (and, no doubt all future ones) that I may have to backup and reinstall the current P5 Runtime library (and uninstall/re-install P5 plus the patch) or else risk losing my existing Runtime, or not having it updated correctly (or at least not having the original P5 content updated correctly). No sweat. I'll do it if that's what it takes to maintain my new custom P4 Runtime library structure.

OK, been using Poser 5 for a week now and am happy with it's stability enough to move my whole P4 runtime library to P5's. My question is has anybody else just done a straight copy? I am a little concerned if any of the P5 stuff will be overwriting (i.e, same names files that are in both P4 and P5). Hopefully somebody else has already done this and can confirm it's OK. best wishes Jody
