Close the graphic and select one of the files, close it again and try again.Ģ. The graphic doesn't change between 2 files. When one of few conditions occurs, you've got a wierd file, not necessarily bad, but one that was put together in a way that isn't quite kosher and that may cause problems. Then select the 1st file (hopefully the graphic window will open cause it's not one of the weird files) and just arrow down the list letting the little graphic window change with each file. 1st check for dups and clean them out (for some reason, DDO picks up some that Clean installer doesn't and vice versa - I use them both together to clean my directories). Put all your clothing files in a directory by themselves. Here's another trick I use that might be a little faster. I'm surprised you found no broken files though. On the divide and conquer approach, been there, done that more than once and it does take a lot of time. Ok, let's try this again - Last time I tried to post, it went to never never land so if this gets duplicated, sorry. So even if it takes a half hour per test, that's only 6 hours much less time than I would spending trying to find the culprit by eyeballing file names. If you have 4096 downloads to test, you should be able to zero in on the target in 12 iterations. It's incredibly time-consuming because Body Shape takes so long to load but it's the fastest way I know of to do an exhaustive test. If it does not file, the bad file is in the other set. If it fails, you know the bad file is in there somewhere. The idea is to divide the herd into 2 equal parts.

Meanwhile, I just might collect all the clothing into one spot and try the binary-search trick. I think that idea deserves its own thread so I'll see if I can get my thoughts organized and start one!

Now I'm day-dreaming about a new clothing manager utility. I probably have all the game files set to "read only." Silly me. And now that I write that, I think I might know why. I tried using DDO to move some "unknown" files out of the game but the move failed. Oddly, it didn't find a single broken Body Shop file. It found more than 1400 orphan files, but they are all meshes, mostly by Warlokk.

Thanks, Hokieman! I took your advice and ran Delphy's Download Organizer.
