Actually, Mikey loads up just fine, and he's brilliant. It's his clothes that are the problem. Seang just sent me the Mikey clothing Pack based on Michael's clothes, very kindly, but when I try to select it in the Poser browser, the Mac crashes. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it because I didn't put the new shirt obj in the right place? (where is that right place?) Your insights much appreciated. Thanks!

Is the clothing pack made specifically for the Mac? If not, perhaps you should run it through MartinC's Maconverter utility, available here in Free Stuff.

I did run it though MacConverter, which has served me very well. I've never had this happen before!

I had this problem twice. The Mikey Clothing Pack crashed poser and the Millenium Pose Construction Kit Vol. 2 killed the programm too. I contacted wwhitney, the creator of the kit and he told me that this may be the result of corrupted rsr-files. He made the thumbnails with the PC application Poser Explorer and that made my Mac crash. After he send me new rsr files everything worked fine. Perhaps Seang used Poser Explorer too? I dont know why rsr files created by Poser Explorer ruin the day of Mac users but it is defenitly the reason for the program crash.Strangechilde posted Sat, 02 February 2002 at 8:13 AM
That's an interesting thought. I'll try running the files through Mac converter without the .rsr files and see if that works. Thanks!

That's done it, doerp. Everything's fine now. Thank you my friend!

Hi, some earlier versions of Poser Explorer created damaged .rsr files, but unfortunately it is not simple to check for this bug (it crashes every program that tries to draw the picture... not a very useful test for it... :-) The bug has been fixed in the recent version, so I hope the problem will fade away, because I'm not too keen on trying to code a "non crashing" test for it...

So sorry to hear of your problem with the free clothing pack for Mikey, actually I did a Mac version, but I usually send out the PC versions by default. I'd be happy to send you the Mac version, in fact it's on its way. Have fun:)

How kind, Seang! Thanks! Well, this is the first time I've encountered te problem, MartinC so it must not be too terribly pervasive; surely you don't need to write a whole test program for it. Now at least I know what to do about it. Perhaps a mention of the bug in the Read Me file for MacConverter and instructions to run these files through without the .rsr files would be enough unless one is there already?

I think it already says somewhere in the read-me that damaged .rsr files might cause trouble, although I was rather referring to the ones for .obj files. However, I'm a bit confused now... seang, did you create the file on Mac or on PC? If you started on Mac, exported to PC, and Strangechilde converted it back then it should not cause any trouble at all. The problem should only occur with .rsr files created by certain versions of yarp's tool on PC.

The bug was fixed since P3dO 1.5.2 that is starting from December, 7th. This P3dO release is not available in freestuf at Renderosity but next update is close. I want to apology for this bug but as MartinC said it was not easy to detect. Yarp

Martinc the files were originally created on the PC, the rsr's were generated on the MAC.

This is odd - could I get a sample .rsr file that caused the crash? I can't think of any reason why a Mac thumbnail that went Mac > rsr > Mac should cause trouble.

I still have the .zip file that Seang originally sent. I could send it your way if you like; you could run it through MacConverter yourself and maybe see what went wrong.
