TruFrom Abandoned City Help

[Dessa3D]

The request for this item was filled and I and many others received the product, but for some strange reason it doesn't work for me. I installed the Daz3D version of it and I get a long list of missing objs and jpgs. I installed it like all the other content.

I asked the person who filled the request about this and he/she suggested that I need the original, but I mentioned that I already had it. Actually have had it for a while.

I don't understand how Truform City loads no errors, but when I load the Abandoned addon for it, I get tons of errors...

I need some help sorting out what could be the problem.

I can post my log file aswell if it'll help.

Hello Dessa3D,

Can not test for now, the link will only be available to me tomorrow 🙂
I'll get it on the 28th of April and see how it works out for me.

Cheers

The one who filled the request wrote me back and says he/she believes TruForm messed up the Daz3d version of Abandoned City.

Well, no luck,

The TruForms City asset works fine, but the TruForms City Abandoned one apparently is missing some files.
Even after decompressing all the archives provided with the package (Poser ones included), some files are absent.

For example, TRCbuilding05Door1.obj is nowhere to be seen, when TRCbuilding05.obj is OK.

Either those files are misspelled in their names or the reference file loading the scene has them misspelled... in either case, even after fiddling around between directories
C:\Daz 3D\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\My DAZ 3D Library
or
C:\Users\usename\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library
and also installing the Poser version and manually injecting OBJ files in both Runtime\geometries\TruForm\TruForms City folders (created manually), no luck in having it work properly.

Sorry, I guess we'll have to wait for a "patch".

Cheers

Yea, definitely needs fixing.

@dessa3d
I can confirm things are messed up.

What I have noticed is there are on 3 zips in "TruForms City" download, instead of 4 zips stated on the product page.
That may account for the missing textures.

I copied all the /Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCbuildingXX.obj files,
And renamed them to TRCbuildingXXBase.obj.
And then placed them back in /Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/

Also all the door files
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCbuildingXXDoorX.obj

And these files,
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCcrane.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCcraneBase.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCdistantBuildings1.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCdistantBuildings2.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCdistantBuildings3.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCdistantBuildings4.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCextraBuilding1.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCextraBuilding2.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCextraBuilding3.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCextraBuilding4.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCextraBuilding5.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCextraBuilding6.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCextraBuilding7.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCfuelStationBanner.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCfuelStationElements.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCfuelStationTopSign.obj
/Runtime/Geometries/TruForm/TruForms City/TRCstationOilCan.obj

Don't exist

So, In my opinion, it is the Base Product is faulty/incomplete.

@SonyTony
You're right. On the product page it lists:

ReadMe File
File 1 (8.2 MB)
File 2 (69.4 MB)
File 3 (38.3 MB)
File 4 (69.4 MB)
File 5 (1.6 MB)

Noone is saying anything about missing files over in TruForm's reviews on Rendo though, unless he fixed it and eomax has to update the files. I spent 500pts, unless it gets updated, i'd like a refund.

I was planning on getting it to use for Daz. Good to know about the missing stuff.

@Dessa3D
I doubt there's anything eomax can do if it's the author at fault I believe? Maybe the reviewers on Renderosity use Poser and not Daz?

[Dessa3D]

eomax said his stuff is correct and that Truform City needs updating. That's why we have so many missing things. Lets hope whoever shared TruForm City updates it to work with the abandoned addon.
