got a question for the masters out there. god knows why but my genesis characters decided to stop work, like when I load one it says that it has a duplicate id, and that goes for all the clothes. Not only that but now the clothes' don´t attach to the characters and clothing converter stopped working for genesis only. Any clues on what´s that and how can I fix it?

seems the problem is the duplicate ids, how do I fix that?

Never had the problem myself, but Richard Haseltine's summer 2017 script apparently fixes this common dilemma. There's a vast thread on this at the DAZ forum - search "DAZ Studio 4.5 - Fix Duplicate IDs script" with links to the script - a few working, most broken.

Are you sure it's Duplicate IDs, not Duplicate Formulae? IDs is a really old issue, and shouldn't affect content created in or saved from DS 4.5+. If that is it, here's a Dropbox link https://www.dropbox.com/s/78mi1zh8p7udsgx/Fix%20Duplicate%20IDs.zip?dl=0

hello, thanks for all the answers! HartyBart, I´ve tried the script, and looked on the forum on daz website and it did help for some of the clothes, however it does not work for the character genesis. If I load the character I still get the message. I read the log file and it says there a lot of duplicate morphs from m4 and v4. I reinstalled it and it still shows the same message. So I´m lost on what to do you know? RHaseltine, from what I read in the log it says duplicate ID but I´m not an expert at all at daz, so perhaps I´m not right. How do I see the difference between one and another?

RHaseltine suggests "Duplicate IDs" is a really old issue, and Cariba confirms that is the error message. So my first thought there is - update to the very latest DAZ Studio and see if that fixes it? Otherwise, it's probably a problem best taken to the forums at DAZ.

RHaseltine posted Sun, 01 November 2020 at 10:07 AM

yes, those are duplicate Formula not Duplicate ID. It looks as if you have converted the Michael 4 morphs, I suspect they are using the same names as the Daz Evolution morphs and so most links are triggering the warning. Do you need the converted Michael 4 base morphs?


caraiba posted Sun, 01 November 2020 at 11:30 AM

I didn´t even know that they were converted morphs, god only know how I´ve done that.... I suspected that somehow that happened while I was trying to dress michael clhothes on the genesis figure. But I suspect I don´t need them, is there a way to remove them? Man thank a lot for your help, this is great!!!


RHaseltine posted Sun, 01 November 2020 at 1:51 PM

Try moving the /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/Michael 4/ folder right out of the your content directory, so DS can't see it, and then try reloading the base figure - if that now works check your saved scenes still load correctly.


caraiba posted Sun, 01 November 2020 at 6:12 PM

didn´t quite work, still get the same mistake 2020-11-01 04:02:34.439 WARNING: ..........srcsdksourcefileinputdzassetdaz.cpp(6872): output: Genesis:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ%203D/Michael%204/MCMM4EyesClosedR.dsf#MCMM4EyesClosedR?value where´s that coming from?


RHaseltine posted Mon, 02 November 2020 at 4:20 PM

Looks like another Michael 4 conversion in /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Morphs/DAZ 3D/Michael 4/.


caraiba posted Mon, 16 November 2020 at 9:53 AM

Yeah, It´s a problem with michael morphs. The problem is that if I take one out something different shows up and so on, and now pretty much all clothes poke trough and so on, I think I´ll just reinstall everything eventually when I get pissed enough. But thanks anyway, now at least the clothes are sticking to the character.


RHaseltine posted Mon, 16 November 2020 at 3:43 PM

If you get poke-through on a morphed figure right-click on the figure and select Transfer Active Morphs from the menu.
