Tutorial Installation Summary for Assets

[macadam]

Short description how to install assets in DAZ:

1st of all: DIM needs zip files named "IM000+ID-0X_NAME.zip" aka "IM00064738-01_ItsName.zip".

• If the downloaded file is named "IM000.....zip" you can directly put it on the download manager folder.

If you downloaded an other file than zip you have to unpack it and look at it's content:

• If you unpack a folder and see it named "IM000...zip", do the same thing than before and put this zip file into the download manager folder.
  
  
• If the main file have another name and when you open a folder, you see one folder "content" with 2 small files named "supplement" and/or "manifest", that mean you can create an DIM with them, simply search for the ID number on DAZ market and rename the main zip into the correct name (aka IM000*the ID number here* -01_*name of asset.zip*.
  
  
• If the main file have another name and when you open it you see an "library", Runtime, "data", "content" or else without any "Manifest", that mean it's not DIM compatible and you need to open it and put the files into "my DAz 3D library" (mostly simple as the folder probably already exist in your library so you just have to copy-paste them into it).

You can get the ID number straight of the manifest.dsx file in the zip file. Just search for the string "_3d", and the number will be right next to it.

I may be mistaken but I don't think DIM will read the file if you put .zip at the end? Might be a hair misleading everything else is spot on great post

its specially because its a zip that DIM recognize it
all DIM must be on zip format.

but ofc, it will not recognize it if its named "IM000333-01_things.zip.zip" , only 1 zip at end for the format

well simply because the name is suppose to be like this.
you cant even put a "space" or something in the name, it must be attached by "_" or all together.
bad exempl :
IM000222-01_My Little Test.zip ( this not gonna work because DIM is noy gonna read it due to space)
IM000222-01_My_Little_Test.zip.zip ( this not gonna work because DIM not gonna recognize it due to the "dot" before the first "zip" wich is a non valable symbol in name )


meh, i did that error before ya now , didnt make careful and renamed the files with .zip at end, but window putting the .zip extention at end in addition -_-
