Hey all - I upgraded to Poser 11 a while ago and am only now trying to (manually) install Victoria 4.2 with all her morphs. I've managed to get every individual morph to load and they all work fine - but I can't seem to get any of her full-body morphs (Base, ++, Elite) to work. When I select the top of the hierarchy ("Body") I've got nothing. I can only morph individual body parts. What in the world could I be doing wrong?

Do you know if you have V4 installed in more than one runtime? I understand that can cause trouble.

Has V4 been initialized after installation?

No, I know that I do not. Just the one.

Has V4 been initialized after installation?

I'm running a MacPro and I don't think I can run the .bat app to do that. And I have never had to do it before. Is there a Mac equivalent, do you know?

I don't have a good answer here maybe a PC emulator to run the BAT files? Sadly all those convoluted EXP injections files have been unnecessary since Poser 6.

In the same place where the bat file is there is also a .command file (actually 2 one for v4 and one for v4 to v3) which is the mac version of a bat file.

it is in the /Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/ folder

in my mac the full paths are: /Users/Shared/v4/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/DzCreateExPFiles-V4.command ; exit; and: /Users/Shared/v4/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/DzCreateExPFiles-V4V3.command ; exit;

If you correct the path to reflect your setup you could also just paste the above commands into your terminal at it will create/ initialize the files

sorry one mistake if you run form the terminal you need a slash in front of the !DAZ so the correct path is: /Users/Shared/v4/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/DzCreateExPFiles-V4V3.command ; exit; and: /Users/Shared/v4/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/DzCreateExPFiles-V4.command ; exit;

or just double click the .command file in the folder itself.

Fantastic! I'm on it!

I meant backslash so it looks like this "/!DAZ/" as the ! needs to be escaped anyway I just noticed that this forum keeps deleting the escape backslash every time I post it. very strange. I did type it correctly then I corrected myself only to find it messed up again at so I am trying things here to see what works maybe quotes. because if you cut and paste the command into the terminal on a mac it will not work without the back slash.

"/Users/Shared/v4/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/DzCreateExPFiles-V4.command ; exit;"

without quotes

/Users/Shared/v4/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/DzCreateExPFiles-V4.command ; exit;

Yes ok so I just noticed that no matter how I do it this forum software deletes all backslashes that are used for escaping characters after a forward slash. very strange.

so with spaces it looks like this: / ! DAZ

The backslash disappeared there as well. now I dont get it it is not possible to and I used spaces so it should have worked. this is very annoying. ok how about

/--!DAZ

and remove the dashes

Do we have to still use the V4 as the main character figure in Poser 11? Is there new figure available in the new Poser? If I buy the Poser 11, what main characters should I use?Still the old V4?

Ahh I get it. The forum is probably running stripslashes. So no back slashes allowed "well a pain if we try to use code snippets."

anyway sorry if I confused anyone. you can just fint the .command file and click on it.

@ngsf there are manny poser native characters including Paul and Pauline which are the newest characters in Poser 11. This thread was specifically asking aabout V4 on a mac computer.

I personally use her a lot as well as A3 and m4 and H3. as well as many other figures including those that come with natively with Poser.

To get a backslash to show you have to input a double backslash.

If you type a single one (example: ) it may disappear. If you type 2 (example: \ ) a single one shows.

@raven thanks.

so the correct command on my computer everything between the quotes: "/Users/Shared/v4/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/DzCreateExPFiles-V4.command ; exit;"

/Users/Shared/v4/Runtime/libraries/!DAZ/DzCreateExPFiles-V4.command ; exit;

It still strips it out for me.

\

It must be because of the context

because It still strips them in the command string so I just cannot type any code that requires a backslash oh well I was just trying to make it easier to paste into the terminal window.

Well a person would have to check the path first anyway. :-(

You could use a text editor and a screenshot ... just a quick work around.

Well, I think I did everything right and every file is where it's supposed to be. But when I try to run the .command file to initialize V4.2, I'm told I don't have the correct permissions to run it. I checked the permissions on the file and I do, indeed, have full read & write permissions, but it still won't run. Just for kicks, I made a duplicate of the file, and that actually opened and ran in Terminal. But the operation will not complete. It gets most of the way through and simply stops. I've re-downloaded the file a couple of times, cleared everything and started from scratch, with no result. Have to admit, I'm running out of ideas.

Have you linked to other runtimes with V4 installed? You need to only have V4 installed in one runtime ... just in case that might be a conflict.

Just the one, unless I'm sadly confused. I'll keep double checking everything

Just covering all our bases, it does cause problems if there is more than one.

Try repairing permissions on your Macintosh HD with the disc utility in your utilities folder. I seem to remember I had a similar issue once.
