Does anyone know how to create a rsr file? I took one of my pz2 pose files, modified it, saved it under a different name, but I couldn't figure out how to get it back into Poser. If someone is removing this message then please tell me where you're moving it to. Thanks, Kimberly krbtv@home.com

Ummm, where did you modify it if not in Poser? Move it back into a folder under runtime|library|Pose and it should be there. If you modified and saved in Poser, you should already have an RSR file with the same name as your resaved pose. If you did it outside of Poser somehow, you need to put it in a pose directory, double-click the grey-shrugging guy icon and resave it to create an RSR Paul

It origionally was a mimic file called test.pz2. I modified the pz2 file in a text editor then resaved it as test1.pz2 . It didn't show up in the Library (of course test.pz2 was there because somehow mimic put it there). I couldn't figure out how to make test1.pz2 one of the icons in the Library so I could access it directly from the program.

If its saved in the correct library with the correct extension, but without an RSR file, it should show up with an icon that looks like the silhouette of a man shrugging. If its there, double-click as normal to apply the pose and then resave it back into the library. That will create an rsr If it's not showing up in the selection bar, you've probably not given it the correct extension (and remember that it cannot be in a sub-folder (Poses|myposes would work, Poses|myposes|modifed will not). If it shows up as the grey-shrugging man icon but will not apply, then there is a possibility you have corrupted the file somehow while editing it. Paul

I can't double click it as normal because I can't (don't know how to) get it into the Poser program. I modified the file from Windows Explorer using a text editor and saved it with a different name using the pz2 extension. I guess the real question is: how does mimic get the pz2 file to show up in the Library (on the document window) with the icons of the mimic Ladies?

MIMIC creates an RSR internally as part of the programme and (I guess) the icon is applied internally from a resource file. You need to move your pose file from where-ever it is saved now into the Pose library (runtime|libraries|Poses) using Windows Explorer - click and drag - if it isn't there already. If you have to move it like this, it will now show up in the document window. But it will not have the MIMIC icon. You will either have to load and resave to create an RSR file, or possible copy and rename an existing MIMIC RSR file. If it is in runtime|libraries|Poses but isn't showing up at all, check the extension on your file. Poser is very adamant about file extensions being in the right folders. If the extension is correct, and there is still nothing showing up in the document window (not even the shrugging guy icon) that's pretty much got me stumped. Paul

The grey icon is showing. I did mess up the file so it won't work. Is their a "Poser Developer's kit" out there for programmers?
