A friend recently had some trouble with the expression sliders on their model not working on preloaded motions. Maybe more people have had trouble with this too. It's pretty annoying.

When facial expression sliders aren't working when you load a motion onto a model, it's usually because the JP side names are missing, or aren't matching up correctly. Here's how to fix that! ^^

And, when facial expression sliders show gobbledygook or blank spaces when you load a model, it's usually because the EN side names are missing or are filled in with foreign language characters that your computer can't load properly! Here's how to fix that too.

Hope it makes sense! It's easy when you know it but hard to describe without pictures

This facial expressions and names chart by is incredibly useful and convenient, and contains a good chunk of the standardized Japanese slider names, in case you accidentally deleted the JP side name and need to correct it! Saves much time.

Please notice if you click it, that Xoriu has a .zip file download available on this link, that contains both the full .txt file with the names listed, plus a copy of the chart. Very useful.

The diagnostic tool that is referenced at the very bottom of the post is absolutely invaluable in helping when bugs happen to your model. It exists in all versions of PMXE; you just have to know where to look for it to run it and check for errors. As an added bonus, when you run the tool, you can copy/paste the report into Google Translate to understand what it's telling you better!

If anything is unclear, let me know, I'll try to explain it better. Hope this helps!
