Hello, I have a question about the tool, is there any way to export the morph targets together with meshes?

Not with this tool. TS4 MorphMaker will preview and export morphed meshes which may be what you want.

Your program has a path only to drive "C" . I have the game installed on drive "D" . What shall I do?? Fix in your program to the path to the game you can choose.

My program does not have a path at all; it reads the registry for the game files path. If for some reason that's not working, click File / Change Settings and set it manually, save, then restart the program. It shows you an error message telling you to do that if it can't find the game files.

Yes, that's the error message. Click okay, the program then starts and you can set the game path yourself like it says to. If it's not starting and there are no more error messages then something else is wrong and without more information I can't help.

If you're getting the message about cloning, the program has started and you can change the game files path.

Hey Cmar, I am working on updating my mermaid tails to have better bone/vertex color assignments using the autoassigner. I get this error upon hitting 'go!'


Thank you very much for your time!

Thanks for the screenshot and uploading the files!

This happened because the gender is set to Unisex. For adult humans (including occults) the program isn't set up to handle that, and errored because it tried to load a unisex head mesh which doesn't exist. (It loads the default reference meshes even when you use a custom reference.) If you pick Female (or Male) it'll work. I'll see about better error handling to catch that in the future and make sure things like accessories can be unisex.

BTW the program has built-in male and female reference meshes for each lod for mermail tails so you shouldn't need to use your own in most cases. I'll have to make that clearer in the screen too.

Okay! Thank you so much for the quick reply! If I only do assignments for male or female on the mesh, will it work properly for both ?

There are male and female tails with male and female meshes and IMO you can't use the same mesh for both, although I haven't tried. The CASPs use the Opposite Gender Part instance to link to the corresponding part for the opposite sex so that if you change genders in CAS you get what looks like the same tail. You could enable a male or female tail for the opposite frame but I don't know if that's what you want.

Does that answer your question?

I've told you how to change the path. If CAS Tools starts long enough to tell you to change the path and then crashes with no message, something else is wrong and I don't know what it is. Sorry.

Check if your anti-virus is blocking it. Sometimes an AV will block a program simply because it's new. Also try running it as Admin.

What is unclear? I took off the screen , it says the message and after the "OK" button followed by the message. Again "OK" the program closes and does not start!

What you said isn't unclear. As I said, something else must be causing the program to close after it gives you the path error. It could be your antivirus, or could be some kind of system problem. I have no way of knowing.

You'll have to look at your system event log to try to find an error message from CAS Tools that might explain it, then if you post those messages here I'll look and see if there's anything I can suggest: https://www.dummies.com/computers/o...-in-windows-10/

Thanks so much, that pointed me to what I think is the problem and told me why it only affects computers using Russian and probably some other languages but not English. (Different number formats.)

I'm attaching a fixed version for testing - please let me know if it starts for you.
