Subdragon Expansion Not Loading in D|S 4.8

I just picked up the full SubDragon, Textures and Expansion pack.  I tried loading them in D|S 4.8 because I wanted to compare with the SubDragon LE.  The strange thing is that the Expansion pack won't load the morphs.  I checked all the files, couldn't see anything wrong, no missing folders or typos.  So I tried it in Poser Pro 2014.   It loaded with no problem at all, so everything is installed correctly and apparently works.  Anybody have any idea why it won't load in D|S?

  • Are you sure you were loading the same file in both applications? I think the SubDragon LE supplied with DS is in DAZ Studio format, so it won't load the Poser format full version files.

    Hi Richard. Yep - I'm sure.  It's the in the Poser Formats Runtime/Libraries structure.  The other one is called SubDragon LE and is in the DAZ Studio Formats in the Animals folder.  I think I might have found the problem though.  The infamous ReadMe file (that nobody reads) for the Extension says I have to rerun the Update Subdragon.bat file.  But that file isn't in the zip files.

    It should be in the \Runtime\Libraries\!DAZ\folder. Make sure you don't have two of those in different content directories, along with two \Runtime\Libraries\!DAZ\SubDragon folders.

  • Sigh... now it says it can't find the support folder. I'll reinstall and see if that helps.  I did nuke the dragons from my old content folder.  If it got cross-referenced that could be why it was having problems.

    In DS right click on the SubDragon's thumbnail and select "browse to file location", in the window that opens you should see a CR2, a PNG and a DSB, the DSB is a Powerloader script, delete it, close the window and refresh the content pane in DS, now try loading SubDragon and see if that makes a difference.

  • I am still having the problem with having the subdragon's expansion working in ds4.8 pro.  I have the full subdragon and have checked everything that has been suggested but to no avail, still can't get the subdragon expansion morphs to load in. Any suggestions would be appreciated

    Did you run the DzCreateExPFiles-Subdragon.bat?  How are you injecting the morphs, powerloader or morph injection pose?
