Script error message upon starting Zbrush, how to remove?

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hello everyone. I tried using Startup Master plugin and now I don’t need it at least for now. I deleted the folder/items when you need to have to run it but when I start up Zbrush, I always get a “error running script” message. I can “initialize Zbrush” and still use Zbrush but how do I get rid of this error message when I load Zbrush? I’m guessing that when I tried using Startup Master, it created a script somewhere that is trying to run or now has an empty folder somewhere causing the problem?

Does anyone know what I should remove or delete?

Thanks,
Rick

In the ZBrush 4R8/ZScripts folder there is a file called DefaultZScript.txt. Open the file in NotePad and change the contents so that it only contains:

//startup

[If,[MemGetSize,startup_mem],
[IPress,“Zplugin:Misc Utilities:Home Page”]
,
[IPress,“Zplugin:Misc Utilities:Home Page”]
[MVarDef,startup_mem,1,0]
]

Be sure to use NotePad as saving from a program like Word may cause problems for ZBrush.

Thank you but I still have an error.

I did the above but I get this when I open Zbrush…

"ZScipt Note: Interface item could not be found.
SCRIPT: DefaultZScript.txt

ERROR: Zplugin: Misc Utilities:Home Page
IN: [Press, “Zplugin:Misc Utilities: Home Page”]

What have you in your ZBrush 4R8\ZStartup\ZPlugs64 folder? Can you show a screen shot?

Thanks,

Yes, as soon as I get home I will upload screen shot. Thank you for your time and help. You are a good man.

Hi Marcus,

Here is the screen shot. Do you think something is leftover in this folder from Startmaster plugin?
I am happy with 4r7, did that defaultscript file only work for 4r8? I thought it would be the same for 4r7.screenshot.jpg

It’s essential that you say which version of ZBrush you are using, if it’s not the latest version! As upgrading is free, only limited support is provided for earlier versions and it’s assumed you are on the latest version unless you say otherwise.

Also, you shouldn’t install any 4R8 plugins in earlier versions (or plugins from earlier versions in 4R8). This is sure to result in problems sooner or later.

To fix your current problem, edit the DefaultZScript.txt again so that it just reads:

//startup

OK, sorry about the trouble.

I do a small amount of jewelry design as a hobby and am not a serious Zbrush user yet but I’m starting to really like it. So I’ll spend some time upgrading and next time will check my version.

Thank you very much.
