DAZ error log?

[Meh1234567890]

Unfortunately, I think the .duf has been corrupted, but I figured I would ask to make sure it isn't a simple fix thing since I'm still newish at this.

After I had saved the scene file in DAZstudio I messed with the rigging on one of my models. DAZ then froze my entire computer to the point where I had to hold the power button to reset it. Now whenever I try to open the scene file I get "an error occured while reading the file, see log for more details." then in the log.

Any ideas?
Any help?

Yes, this " Json Parser (2337214,20): Syntax Error - expected ',' or ']' " shows it has been corrupted. It's even nice enough to tell you what it expected (but not WHY )

If you're enthusiastic enough, you could try this:

1. extract the file (it is actually a ZIP file, it can be opened with e.g. 7-Zip if you manually select to open it)

2. the contents is a JSON formatted file. DAZ calls it's specific format "DSON" but that's just the content, the format is standard JSON.

3. Use a "json syntax verification" tool (search online) to see where the error lies.

4. If you can channel your inner programmer (OHHMMMMM) and apply some "educated guesses" you might be able to spot what the JSON format error is and fix it.

5. zip the file up again (make sure the extension is DUF)

6. Try to load into Daz

it you are lucky it might load up even if it still has a minor corruption in one asset in the scene. But at least if it is good enough to open in DAZ3d you might be able to save the important parts into a new file.
