Jeff, I'm confused by your post, just listing the reasons for the deficiencies you leave in products doesn't really address the actual problem. A lot of products are useless to, or cause unnecessary trouble for, some of your customers. If marketplace admissions standards don't require vendors to take a few extra minutes and make their submissions into fully compatible products, then the Marketplace needs to review and revise admissions standards. Upside to this - fewer customer complaints and problems, more happy customers feeling they can make purchases in confidence. Downside - a couple more things to be checked and verified during market beta-testing, and a few more items returned for additional work the first time or two vendors submit, until they become accustomed to finishing their products properly. The fact remains; 1) OBJ files should be in Geometries folders. 2) Textures should be in Textures folders. 3) All paths to these files should be accurate and relative to Runtime, not the root. 4) Textures and thumbnails should be available in duplicate formats, either in P4/PP dual zips within the original download, or as additional downloads from vendors websites. No offense intended Jeff - I like the marketplace here. I've bought literally HUNDREDS of products here. I've appreciated the hard work the MP administration has always put into resolving individual problems, but this response is pretty much useless.
