The folder tree is messed up.

You have the textures in runtime/textures. This is correct.
However, the rest of it is in runtime/Runtime/libraries, which is incorrect.

How did this get past the freestuff QA? I thought Rendo had a requirement that the zip file has to be arranged correctly to match a Poser runtime structure?

As it is now, a user cannot do what I just told somebody to do - drag "runtime" from the zip into a Poser runtime parent folder.

Also, under Materials, there are two copies.

shoes_mat.mc6 + png

and also under a sub-folder

shoes/shoes_mat.mc6 + png

i have my folders on a seperate partition and in my custom folder.

i did the shoes for myself and i posted them online . you can send everything through emails,forums. i dont care.

you can also change teh textures and post them online. you can make a morph from the shoes or even change the OBJ file and post it online.

still...there's a definite lack of clothing for male figures, so by all means, we can use 'em...;)

i will fix this he he he :)

I don't understand your point, ice-boy. You asked if they work.

First step in making them work is to install them. Since they don't install correctly, I pointed it out.

Thanks ice-boy.

There are some other packaging issues apart from those mentioned by bb:-

The textures folder contains a huge (47MB) and superfluous PSD file.

The image maps should really not be directly in the Textures folder, but in a sub-folder (e.g. ice-boy / shoes / ).

The CR2 file contains an incorrect reference:-
figureResFile :Runtime:Geometriesboots_spider.obj

i allways copy runtime folders in my own folder. and they work.

what should i change so that it works for others?

its not meant to be used in poser. this is for everyoen who has photoshop. you can open it and make your own texture. i like to have everything on seperate layers.

Now I understand. I thought it was included in the runtime by mistake.

does xurge3D have good folders? i will use them as reference

i changed now the folders. i think it works now.

i think there are some problems with the bending of the toes.

ice-boy,

I was referring to the double runtime/runtime/libraries

The libraries folder should be at the same level as the textures folder, not one below.

I'm not talking about the fact that the runtime is under a top-level folder. That is fine. I'm talking about the libraries is in the wrong place.

The full path to the cr2 is currently:

Shoes/runtime/Runtime/libraries/Character/shoes/Shoe_1.cr2

It should be

Shoes/runtime/libraries/Character/shoes/Shoe_1.cr2

I don't know what you mean by you always copy into your own folder and it works.

This package does not work.

If you simply unzip this file to its own folder and attempt to add "Shoes" as an external runtime, you'll see that you can't find the props or materials. They are in the wrong place. And Poser will create new, empty copies of the library folders where they should be, creating massive confusion.

ice-boy: oops... you changed the location of the OBJ file and the image maps, but you did not change the file paths in the CR2 and the MC6!

Edit: @ bb, ice-boy corrected that problem and updated the download.

i think the location is still not good.

I'll check it out - give me a few minutes

The MC6 still needed updating with the new image map file paths. I did it - see attached!

fixed the textures

i loaded now some low Boots for M4. they will be up in 24 hours.

load them and test them out. i 100% made some mistakes. i always do hehehehehhehehehheheheh

ice-boy, you need to make a new folder in the root of drive C, called Runtime. That means, when you open C you see your new runtime folder straight away.

Copy and paste the folders containing all the parts of your freestuff item into here, checking that they are correct in your poser first.. Make sure they go into the new runtime in the correct place, which will mean you'll need to make some new folders in the new runtime. For instance, your folder of textures should be inside a folder called Textures, your geometries folder should be inside a folder called Geometries and so on.

Copy and paste your readme and any other textual items.

Then zip up your item from this runtime folder and it should install correctly on anybody's machine :)

you tryed the new Boots?

it doesnt work?

anyone tryed the boots?

I'll try to slip them on this evening, ice-boy.
I had a quick look at the download files last night and everything seems okay.

Oops, i forgot to post this last night. They work fine, ice-boy. Not very elegant, but functional!

i think i will add more details.

so i will add some morphs from M4 to the boots. and i will update.

i added 2 new textures to the shoes.
