Error message when loading LIE file

Dreamer

Help please!
I just went to use a LIE preset I had made but it wouldn't load and I got this:
Error reading file, see log for more details.
When I looked in the log this was what it said:
/Animals/HivewireHorse/Materiald/LIE Presets/DWD_Pintos/Fetlocks1.duf (4,10): unexpected character
Any ideas folks? When I sent the files to be beta tested they came through fine and I have not changed any thing.

Isn't 'Materiald' supposed to be 'Materials' ?

/Animals/HivewireHorse/Materiald/LIE Presets/DWD_Pintos/Fetlocks1.duf

/Animals/HivewireHorse/Materials/LIE Presets/DWD_Pintos/Fetlocks1.duf

I'm not sure how they made it through testing if that's the issue.

Also, most vendors put their name first i.e.:
/Animals/HivewireHorse/Materials/DWD_Pintos/LIE Presets/3dl
/Animals/HivewireHorse/Materials/DWD_Pintos/LIE Presets/Iray

@sapat every thing is spelt right, that was just me stuffing up with retyping it on here.
Thing is what ever the issue is its only just happened as it never came up in testing and nothing has been done to those files since they were made and sent for testing

That's strange. I hope you sort it out!

Have you checked that DS is pointed to the relevant runtime?
Yep, all the others in the set work fine just not this one. They were all made at the same time from the same runtime and they haven't been moved.

could the texture have corrupted somehow? especially since the rest work?

Did you open the duf file in a text editor and look at lines 4 and 10? There you will find the unexpected character. Don't know how it snuck in there since beta testing, but you may be able to fix it, or copy it here and we may be able to help.

Thing is the same texture is being used in Poser with no problems do I am guessing that the problem in in the Daz file itself.

That is the biggest bit of help ever! I couldn't figure out from the error message where I needed to look. I'll do that later to day and get back to you :)

Ok so had a look at the offending file nd this is what is at line 4:
"id" : /Animals/HivewireHorse/Materials/DWD_Pintos/Fetlocks1.duf",
And Line 10:
},

That is it, I have no idea what should and shouldn't be there as I am not familiar with how DS codes things

And maybe that is an extra curly brace in line 10? Not sure, but I guess if it works, you're good.
