Rogue shaping/corrective morphs affecting cbs settings

paulawp (marahzen)

I just ran across a morph set that I bought recently that appears to be active when you haven't selected it. It would seem that more extreme poses can result in cbs settings that cause freakish, ugly deformations. I get that I could just uninstall it and solve the problem but let's say I want to keep it (and don't want to constantly have to manually fix the settings). What, if anything, can be done to manually prevent it from being active when you haven't applied the morphs? Can the problem be fixed by manually updating files?

Yes.

Usually rogue JCMs/CBSs are the result of a missing mutliply link to connect them to their parent morph, and you can address this using the Property Hierarchy pane and the Parameter pane (in edit mode) to drag the offending rogue controls to be a multiply sub-component of the required control property.

You then use Save As -> Support Asset -> Save Modified Assets. It *should* primarily list the JCMs/CBSs - if it lists the control morph, you need to go into the control links in the Hierarchy pane and set them to instead save under the CBS (usually DS is smart about setting up where the link should save, but it occasionally gets it wrong).

You should also report it to customer support though, as this will help fix it for everyone and will mean that the product package itself gets updated so you don't need to worry about potentially having to redo the links if you ever need to restore your library.

(Alternatively, the least technical option is to uninstall the product and report the error, and wait for the update to come through. I tend to find most CBS links I report as broken get an update within a relatively few days).
