Hy there!

I have a few materials in my Runtime that are .mz5 instead of .mt5 and I canot open them in any text editor.They are a compressed form of .mt5 (this will explain why they look uninteligible in texxt editors)?If yes , how can I decompress them , so I can see what's inside in a text editor?
Thank you in advance!

Best regards!

If you have Poser set to save uncompressed, just take a primitive prop, go into the Materials Room, apply the material, and then save it under a new name. I think they use the gzip format, so opening it in a compatible compression utility will reveal the underlying file.

Just run the python script inside Poser to uncompress your files then you can open them in an editor.

And where I can find that plugin?
I have searched for it in my Rutime and didn't find it.

If Poser7 it's under scripts in your top menu bar!

Poser 6 I can't remember and I'm at work now so can't look, but again it's in your top menu bar then this path:  /Utility/uncompressposerfiles

You might want to also check the delete compressed files after uncompressing also, there's another tick box that I always do as well but again I can't remember what it's called, Sorry!
I'm having a bad day!!

in p5 and 6 it is in the python buttons under "utility funct"

thefixer:  the other check box is (un)compress OBJ files.

this really nice if you compress your whole runtime like i do.

Ah! I'm the other way, I Uncompress mine each time I install new stuff!
I have a massive HD so space isn't an issue! [LOL].

Or you can rename the mz5 extension to .zip and then decompress it with winzip or whatever you use
