Myra Wildmist Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm sure this is a popular problem. Sometimes, when I buy a new pair of pants they'll have a little flare at the cuff and the cuffs will peak through my boots. In most cases, going into Edit Outfit doesn't help, because the flare is already set to zero.Is there a secret to getting rid of peaking cuffs? Is there a way to hide them? Some boots come with a hide my foot option, but not all of them do.It seems pants makers sometimes provide cuffless/flareless versions of their pants. Should I just try to buy these?How do you tackle this problem? By not wearing boots? :DThanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 If the pants are mod, make them shorter until the flare doesn't poke thru. Often pants will be provided on both the pant and underpant layer, and of course the underpant layer will have no flares, thus they're boot-ready.

Dana Hickman Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yes, what Nika said.. the bloating of the lower pant leg starts at length 91 I believe, so setting 90 or below will correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monderas Bristol Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Alternatively wear shorts or a skirt :smileytongue: But really, I hate pants that are no mod for that very reason. *huggs* Mondy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Little Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 You can also make your own alpha masks to hide your feet. This can be handy, if the boots are modify so you can get rid of annoying invisiprims. You can get a free pack of feet alphas at the Forum Cartel Hangout. I think both alpha layers and textures are included. The Marketplace has a set for 10L too, and you get some other interesting alpha layer textures there too. You make your own alpha layer by going into appearance mode, then edit your outfit and create new alpha. Then you drop the alpha texture you want in the box for the body part you will modify, like lower body, and save. I use to "save as" and name it for the footwear I will use it with, and put it in the same folder. It is really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myra Wildmist Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 @marianne, I'm going to try that. I want to learn how to do that, anyway. I have lots of boots, so it would be something good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been slowly modifying all my older boots and shoes, and come to strongly dislike no mod footware for this reason. So please footware designers either get rid of invisiprims or make your footware modifiable. I bought some boots the other day that still have invisiprims but are no modify.

Venus Petrov Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 If they are no mod, you are SOL. Just get some straight/skinny leg pants/jeans. Make sure that you do not wear the cuffs if they are separate objects. ETA: Awesome tip, Marianne, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Mornington Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi, for pants that have a flare at the bottom, you can go into edit clothing mode and either lower the 'pants flare' slider, shrink the 'pants fit' slider, or raise the 'pants length' slider. As a general rule I don't buy no/mod clothes I want to be able to edit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have more than a few with resize scripts (whoever made the version that requires a script in every prim needs to be ... spanked at the very least .. but I digress ..) that I kept a copy with the scripts still in them. I have to be VERY fond of the shoes to shrink the invisiprim down 1% at a time through the script. I have thrown away a few pair that have tried my very limited patience too much. But there are a few pair I just cuss to myself and keep clicking the -1% button ever 5 seconds until it is too small to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finora Kuncoro Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Rhonda, that is a great tip. It never occurred to me to try resizing just the invisiprim. I'll try it on this one pair of shoes that I love and can't part with despite the giant evil invisiprims in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriloByte Zanzibar Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Alpha masks are the way to go - no script lag and no glitching like you get with invisiprims. If you got the boots/shoes recently and they didn't come with them, ask the creator (the feature's been in SL for nearly a year), otherwise just grab an alpha 'sock' from another pair of boots that are the same length, and you should be good to go.

Ian, I use the latest version of V2. It depends on the pants. You've been making good buying choices. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
