Tool Daz Daz3d Manager Tool 0.6.1 (09.08.2020)

[NSware]

I managed. I forgot to hit the import button. Cheers!

Exciting! Version 0.6. What did you change, besides removing the path-renamer?

I've fixed a lot of bugs that were causing crashes. The morph search has been extended (identical file names are now also searched). When reading in zip files (installer), the user can set how large a file must be in order to read "tags" from these. The reading of "tags" from zip files has been extended

hi there..
first I would like to thank you for your work, I'm one of those who appreciate it and understand that the best rig in the world would not speed up anything on DAZ if you still have tons of morphs..

anyway I try to keep all the stuff I installed as much separated as possible so to use CMS Sets and improve loading times, but with G8 they are still around 4 minutes and the most annoying thing is when you need to use the shape tool!
So I have different paths for RE, RO and DAZ characters and morphs using two different SSD. I would like to know if there's a way to import from two or more paths, because at the moment I can only pick one from the Settings tab..
I just thought right now, Maybe I could use symbolic links? Linking the main folders into a new one and use this last folder into the settings.. I don't know it it would work or cause issues when activating again..

 

[kkoolldd]

Great. I never really experienced crashing with 0.5, so you must have done a pretty decent job already. The improved morph search is nice

Hi NSware. You awesome tool got me inspired to try and write my own morph manager and I was wondering if I could ask you a question regarding it. Daz can be really slow when opening (or manipulating) a genesis 8 figure. Do you know if the only reason is morphs?

 

[NSware]

Hello kkoolldd, the less Morphs are activated, the faster a G3 / G8 model can be opened. If you deactivate all morphs, you will notice this immediately.

 

[kkoolldd]

NSware Yeah, exactly. But is there anything else that could only decrease loading times, that you know off?

 

[NSware]

Large textures [MANY] can also be a factor for longer loading times, although I haven't noticed any noticeable problems there so far.

 

[kkoolldd]

Okay. Then I will try to focus on morph only for now
My idea is to automatically make a new daz profile (copying the main instance, so it includes addons like mesh grabber) but point it to a virtual library folder where you can choose to link only a subset of the morphs. This is kinda the same approach modern game mod organisers use with their virtual filesystems (example: mod organizer 2 or vortex). This way you do not actually have to move anything, you just make a few links.

I got a prototype working that can analyze a .duf file (like a scene) and create a profile with a library that include only the morphs needed to load that specific scene. This speeds up the loading and manipulation of characters significantly. It can also include morphs based on type: like all morphs in 'Actor'>'Chest'>'Real world'.

Now I just need to make an actually working gui Your gui is amazing, I hope I can manage to create something half as nice

 

[NSware]

Your concept sounds very good
My idea was to just find a quick fix .
My software was written in C#, if that helps.

I am trying the 0.6 version and the installer and uninstaller both stuck at the flashing green progress bar and never finish the process.

 

[NSware]

Hello, did you define the content folder in the settings? Maybe you forgot it, and the problem would be solved.

 

[mysterybeatzuk]

I just used this to try and stop so many morphs loading and pretty sure it has deleted them all as I cannot find them anywhere and all the folders are empty!

 

[NSware]

mysterybeatzuk try this:
If you use Content Installer:
1. Go To Installer-Tab
2. Go To Settings-Tab
3. Set your Pathes
4. Import & Install Content

if you use the Morphmanager:
1. Go To MorphManager-Tab
2. Go To Settings-Tab
3. Set your Pathes

 

[mysterybeatzuk]

I tried to use the morph manager, but now my "Gen 8 female morph folder" is almost all gone so there is nothing to import

 

[mysterybeatzuk]

I set the paths as below, clicked the deactivate tab, deactivated all, then they have all gone and I cannot get them back

 

[NSware]

Hey mysterybeatzuk
Could you check if the Folder Data\MorphManager is exist where the tool is located.

 

[mysterybeatzuk]

No it doesn't, there isn't one

Had to format my hd and lost the files, can anyone share a link for it?
