Yet again, this refers to information in another thread but had no link to it.

 

It would have been better to continue the same thread about the same issue.

 

You didn't select all the parts when taking it to inventory or don't have room to rez it.

plenty of room and i dont know where that topic went was like 3 weeks ago i made it probably considered thread necromancy by now 

 

and i did select all parts of it nothing was left behind

That's why there's a search feature, even Google could find it. It's far easier for people to follow one problem than a new thread for each question about the same overall issue.

I suspect that ship is built how some complicated older vehicles were where you only rezz the simple hull-shaped object and "wear" the more complicated part with the rigging, cannons and your name board. This was to get around the prim limits for physical vehicles. Wearing the rigging, etc is only necessary if you're actually sailing it.

No, you find and continue the first thread or you post a hyperlink in this one. Sticking with one thread is better no matter how old. A necropost would not be posting to a thread from last week.

Yes, it appears to be like that. Description from the Marketplace:

"Sails set is automatically worn when boarding the ship."

 

So, Splatulated; Attention:

You need to rez only the lower part of the ship. Put the texture on it. Take the lower part of the ship back to inventory. New copy is created into your inventory. Rez this new copy on water. Your texture should be there ok now. Next, board the ship and the sails set is automatically worn on your avatar. All is good as intended. Go sailing.

i think the texture is attached to the sail half of the ship lower part only has wood textures and nothing else at all not even cannosn or stairs or doors

It is possible that the boat is scripted to return to the original texture each time it is rezzed. You can ask the creator if this is the case.

Sometimes creators do not respond to support requests that ignore preferred contact means, or which do not contain enough detailed information, or which are too garbled to understand, or which say "Hi r u on?".
