Write TSShapeConstructor scripts for 'each' player/DTS shape, as long as node name/count match, the sequence will load into the DTS shape[of course, if the transforms are vastly different between files...ugh]. If your DSQ sequences/files have node names NOT in the existing DTS shape, the loading process will bail and you end up with a non-animating shape.

Follow the example of the avatar, 'KORK', in the SDK[data/shapes/players] folder. Populate an index listing/array of the sequences needing to be loaded into the DTS shape.

Detail levels have no bearing upon whether or not a DSQ loads into a DTS shape....at least to my knowledge.

Good luck!
