When ever I add it it simply dosent appear..Can anyone help me here?I am using the default viewer as the fire one dosent work for me.

Freya Mokusei Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 You're probably using what's known in SL as a 'mesh' avatar (Brandon), and attempting to wear what's known in SL as 'system' clothes (Fire vest, burns). These two technologies (bolded) are not compatible. Additive mesh (attachments above your default system avatar) sits on top and your system avatar is usually hidden using an alpha layer, making any changes made to it impossible to see. It would take a long time - explaining three years of SL history - to explain this in detail (and I can't find a concise link), but the short answer is that if you use what's known in SL as a mesh avatar, then you should always wear what SLers recognise as mesh clothes. TL;DR- Mesh avatar = mesh clothes System avatar = system clothes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the person who came up with the brilliant idea to unleash those ghastly mesh bodies upon new SL users should be involuntarily committed to the nearest mental health facility for observation, treatment and a possible probable, chemical lobotomy. Do yourself a big favor, damptog, and switch to one of the new system based avatars. They're much nicer looking and user friendly than any of those horrific, mesh bodied avatars supplied to you by the lunatics at Linden Lab. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damptog1307 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Where do I get one of those ? I do not really care how good I look, I just care that I can use the vests I got and not wasted 6000L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 From this page (link): Select Me > Choose an avatar from the top menu bar in the Second Life window. In the Choose an Avatar window that opens, click a category tab to see a preview of avatars in that category. At the time of this writing, the available categories are People, Vampires, and Classic. Click the image of your desired avatar to immediately wear that avatar. Choose one of the Classic avatars and you'll be set. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damptog1307 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Done that now, how ever i still do not seem to be able to add the vest or any textures to my avatar so that they become visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 You may be wearing mesh clothing which covers your system skin just as the mesh body would. Therefore, you'll have to detach any attachments that you're wearing, with the exception of your hair and animation overrider. Also you'll need to take off any alpha layers that you're wearing... the names of these items will include the word "Alpha" in your inventory. Once you do that, you'll be able to see any system clothing which you wear, such as the vests that you bought. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwin Alcott Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 and what did the seller /creator tell you? When i see the avatars what's used on the pics in that store the items are very old. and you keep talking about textures ...so what is it... textures or clothing? You can wear clothing, but no textures or is it a object you wear and you have to add the textures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
