Hi Everyone, I am loading the various clothing items that I have (freebies) into the runtime geometries/libraries folders in Poser 4.03. They are various items of vicky and p4fem clothing. I am getting alot of crashes when I try to apply items to the Stephanie figure. The warnings are saying that Poser can't open the obj's and then I get the " out of memory" warning after I click the ok button in the dialog box. I have noticed that the names of the folders Poser is looking in is different than the name of the folder I have the item in. By this I mean that I have been placing the items manually into the Runtime/libraries folders and I have not used any automatic unzipping to these folders using winzip. I have modified the names of some of the folders and I'm wondering if that is why the crashing is occuring. For instance one of the items originally had been in a folder in the zip called "millieclothing" and when I created the folderin the Runtime directory I called it "vickyclothing". When the crash occurs Poser says it cant find the object in the "millie" folder and names the millie folder as the one it apparently wants. I was under the impression that you could name a folder anything you wanted as long as it was in the right place and you didn't change the name of the main folder (ie geometries, libraries, etc.) and there shouldn't be a problem. Is Poser so sensitive that if someone has a particular name on a folder in the original zip file that if you copy the contents to a folder in the Runtime folders and it isn't identical Poser crashes? I've never had this problem in the past and I'm wandering if this is the reason. If someone needs a screenshot to understand this problem better I'll post one here. Also I assume that in Windows you can't allocate any more memory to Poser ( I dont think this really is the problem ) and that you can only do that on the Mac according to the manual. Some items load fine onto the figure and some do not. I'm confident that I have the files where they belong and the only thing I changed are names of subfolders. I also believe the unzipped files are fine too. If anyone can shed some light on this dilema I would appreciate it.
