Hi, I have a belt prop that I saved as a scene asset. It loads fine on my computer but it gives this error message on other computers. I have no clue why this is happening. Any help is appreciated. E:/DAZLibrary/People/Genesis 2 Female/Props/lululee/Madam-O/Props-Belt/MadamO-Belt.duf (4,12): Illegal escape sequence. Cheerio lululee

Okay lululee. I have never had it in Daz but a few software programs I have worked on with others. If the for example is a / etc it throws an exception only takes one to be wrong :-) Quick guide you would only be looking at the string address since you more than likely are not writing any Java/C++ coding that all goes on behind the scenes with your software Must not contain general illegal characters ‘’, ‘”’, ‘<‘, ‘>’, ‘)’, ‘(‘, ‘]’, ’[‘, ’;’, ‘,’, ‘:’, ‘|’

E:/DAZLibrary/People/Genesis 2 Female/Props/lululee/Madam-O/Props-Belt/MadamO-Belt.duf (4,12): Illegal escape sequence. just use underscore _ where you see any characters in your paths instead of anything in above illegal characters check all paths to content/maps/obj's etc Most strings have the back slash not forward Java will flip it and read right

Right click and copy the first address (yours) and open up folder to Daz Library to speed up search. In search box top right in Win Explorer paste entire path address if it shows no result then change try the path I put at bottom

I thought it would have been. Since that is illegal character did you change it or auto altered altered as not sure on the C++ if this occurs like Java E:DAZLibraryPeopleGenesis 2 FemalePropslululeeMadam-OProps-BeltMadamO-Belt.duf

I see markdown edits out my path..... Just pretend it is there change all your / to on the bottom one and try that (In the search box only in explorer)
