With Runtime ZIP and Runtime Repair, packing and unpacking Poser content becomes easy and safe. Runtime ZIP ensures that all paths are correct and that all dependent files are included. Runtime Repair repairs and optimizes Poser files before they are added to a ZIP file or after they were extracted from a ZIP file. Both tools are seamlessly integrated, Runtime ZIP starts Runtime Repair as required. Of course, both tools can also be used independently.
Runtime ZIP is a packer and unpacker for ZIP archives with some special features for ZIP files with Poser content. It has all the features required to create, modify, and unpack ZIP files. You can open several ZIP files at once, which is useful for products that consist of more than one ZIP archive.
When adding Poser content to a ZIP file, Runtime ZIP ensures that all paths are stored relative to the Runtime folder. It can detect dependent files like thumbnails, geometries, and textures and also add them to the ZIP. When extracting Poser content from a ZIP file, it ensures that Poser files are stored correctly in the Runtime folder, even if the paths in the ZIP are incomplete, missing, or have additional folders in front of Runtime. You can select only Poser files for extract, and Runtime ZIP detects which additional files have to be extracted because they are referred from the Poser files. For files extracted from the ZIP, it can correct the references to them if they are wrong. Finally, you can force that geometry, binary morph, texture, and Python files are extracted to the subfolder of Runtime where they belong.
The built-in preview shows the content of text, rich text, image, thumbnail, poser, binary morph, obj, and mtl files. For poser files, the included objects are listed with details like geometry resource, actor hierarchy, channels, and materials. It also shows the file references in a folder tree. Alternatively, poser files may be previewed in text mode. For binary morphs, the morphs are listed with actor, id, and number of deltas and points. The preview for obj geometries shows statistics, groups, and materials. The obj material preview lists the materials with their paramters.
Runtime Repair is an easy and safe tool to keep your Poser Runtimes well working. It repairs several common problems with Poser files and optimizes Poser files according to your preferences. The tasks of Runtime Repair can be applied to single files or to whole folders or Runtimes. You can define presets and file lists for repeated tasks with the same settings or for the same files and folders.
The repair and optimize process is completely automated. During processing, a dialog window informs you about the progress and the number of changed files. After processing, a summary lists the number of changes for each task. The log file reports the changes for each file in detail.
File references that could not be repaired are listed after processing. There are two options. Either you let Runtime Repair search for the files and select the appropriate file if several files were found. Or you save a report for the missing references and use the included File References tool to correct the file references manually.
