Ciera Richez Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm not new to the mesh craze (my whole avatar is mesh now, since my recent purchase of a bento head). While I love all the advances with mesh that have been made in-world, there's one thing that has yet to change...the limited number of attachment points.Normally I wouldn't complain, because I try not to use up my measly 38 point limit. But, with all the mesh and bento items available, along with accessories for them, I don't believe 38 attachment points is enough anymore.I'd be happy if LL raised the limit to 45 at least, because for me that's all I really need.Please??

BilliJo Aldrin Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm constantly hitting the limit, its frustrating, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 If any of your attachments are rigged mesh and they are modify, then you can link those attachments together to only take up 1 attachment spot. The rigging makes sure that each attachment renders in the correct place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roni Southmoor Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Totally agree 38 is not enough now where mesh clothes and bento heads, along with the huds you need to wear now for the mesh bodies and heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0Tasha0o Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I agree with this, but how can I point out the issue to Creators of Second Life, & or TPV Developers. I am not sure if the attachments are based off the Viewer being used, or Second Life server code, but it would be great to have at least up towards 70 attachments maybe 100, but if not just having even 50 would be of a great help and why? Because I am constantly hitting 38 attachments, especially with using Mesh Bodies, and things like Jewelry, Nipple Attachments, and heads like Catwa, which require 3 attachment spots for just a head vs TMP, which only takes 1 attachment spot. I do understand how having more allocation to attach more items could create lag or issues with people who are troublemakers, although for the legit users who know how to control lag such as myself, who need the extra spots would be great for example I am having trouble attaching my new Bento Head / Meshes, because of the limits being imposed and often having to detach stuff from my avatar to attach other stuff, leaving out the finer details that make it look nice. Also as Second Life, has improved a lot since its release over 10 years ago, and everyone is creating in mesh, it wouldn't be a bad idea allowing users to attach at least 50 items, I would be able to complete my avatar good looking with allowing 12 more attachments to make it 50, or even adding 70 - 100 max I would be able to do so much with this, as Not all Merchants, allow people to modify, or link items together, and I have linked as much together as I can on my avatars but with Rare Gachas, I can't modify these without breaking them so it would be great to be able to attach more especially to finish off the details that would make great more realistic looking avatars.

Claireschen Hesten Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Don't think i've ever been close to 38 currently have 22 attachment slots remaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramona Beck Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) It's not a matter of wearing them all the time. It makes it much faster to save all appropriate HUDS that go with the attachments with your outfits ... then you choose the colour you want and/or click the appliers you want for that outfit then TAKE THEM OFF because otherwise you can't see through the HUDS anyway. 38 is severely inadequate for anyone who wears a mesh head and body together with hair HUDS, nail HUDS, tattoo HUDS, lipstick HUDS, mesh eye HUDS, shoe HUDS, applier relays and so on and so on. I'm constantly hitting the 38 and it's really irritating and time-consuming. 38 was fine when everyone wore system layers and hair that didn't come with a HUD but not now. I think 50 is more adequate to our current needs. Edited July 23, 2017 by Ramona Beck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zunx Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I was used to constantly wear some huds, for fast reaction reason. But I know it causes lags too, and I also reached my attachment limit. So I adapted. But even with that, sometimes I can't even wear all the things I want (jewels, multi-parts mesh outfits). My girlfriend, who is piercing addict, is really limited by her attachments, just her piercings taking 5 or 6 attachments. Anyone saying the current limit is ok, is putting blinders over his eyes. People complaining about it tried their best to manage it, but it's really getting frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That your gf can't wear what she wants can also mean she should addapt to what is possible... doesnt mean all others, who manage well are wrong.

LittleMe Jewell Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I hadn't read any part of this thread before today, however I am now wondering how many folks do constantly fight this attachment limit. Thus it adds more fuel to my leeriness of going to a mesh body. I'm just constantly musing and debating with myself whether I want to take the plunge. There are many, many folks in SL that never come to the forums - for a variety of reasons. Given that, how prevalent do you think this issue really is? Do you think there are tons of folks constantly hitting the limit, but just accepting it as a fact of SLife?

Rhonda Huntress Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Back from the dead ... Here is a what I said on a different topic: Quote It is not hard to reach the limit on attachments. Here is a set up my shape-shifting neko alt might have on ... AO Ear animation/position HUD Tail HUD Hair Mesh head Teeth Tongue Head HUD / face animator Left eye Right Eye Left eye lashes Right eye lashes Whiskers Left Ear Right Ear Necklace Kitty collar Ear ring 1 Ear ring 2 Lip ring Mesh body Left hand Right hand Left bracelet Right bangles Left nails Right nails Mesh shirt Mesh undies Mesh skirt Back pack Thigh belts with a knife and a cute charm Garter on other leg Tail Left foot Right foot Left ankle bracelet Left shoe Right shoe .. or maybe not since I am out of attachment points. I could still use an ankle position lock , tail HUD, specialty poser/animation/dance HUD, bra or jacket (depending on the top being worn), more body piercings or maybe finger and toe rings too. Sure, there are some better versions for some of these but really, not everyone makes eyes as one rigged item, for example. Shoes can be combined but you don't get he cool mismatched shoe look if you do. You can also get a tee-shirt, skirt and panties as one single item to save a couple more spots .... To me attachment points are just another resource that requires management. If Linden Lab decides to give us more I will surely be happy to have more. However for the time being I can manage just fine. Then again, when I go to events and see so many jelly dolls at a 250K threshold I wonder if adding extra attachment points is really such a good idea. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'd say the list is quite a special case and possibly no 1:1 match for a plain human meshy avatar... so you can happily forget about tail/whiskers/ear and those corresponding HUDs. Wearing mesh undies under other mesh garnments also doesn't make too much sense and is rather prone to lead to fitting issues anyway. I can only speak for a LeLutka head and Maitreya body combination, but in that case, both feet are merged into one attachment instead of two. Teeth and tongue share another spot, the eyes are also on a single slot... and the lashes are a part of the head instead of an attachment of their own. Plus, if you're using Firestorm, there's no need for an extra AO HUD thanks to the built-in one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that with increasing possiblities of attachments (not even talking about the new bento ones, mutliplicating ways to add things), the limit should increase as well. More and more people are reaching this limit, and must make choices about what to wear, even if managing well worn hud (detaching them unless they are needed).

Maybie Nightfire Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 This has 48416 Avatar Rendering Cost. In the photo I am wearing 33 objects including the pose HUD used for the picture. I have no jewelry, whiskers or weapons. (I am not an alley cat after all) I come close to the limit sometimes but I can work with 38 attachments. I would not say no to more if they were offered!

After all, Einstein's paper "E=mc2: The Most Urgent Problem of Our Time" was only 3 pages long. Does that mean no scientific paper should ever need more than 3 pages? Maybe since you are using about 1/3 of the attachment limit then 9 pages is the upper limit for any scholarly journal. Does it boggle the mind to think how any one could ever need more? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Stern Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I would trade in 20 of my group slots for 20 more Attachment Points. I have tried the whole Link HUDs as one objects trick and that just breaks the touch event in one HUD or another and most times, it's a matter of finding on HUD that is full perm (or made by me) to link with other HUDs. P.S. We SO need a Pitchforks and Torches Emoji too! Edited July 23, 2017 by Hunter Stern added missed content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already using most of the 60 groups that I'm allowed. I can't imagine making that trade. Hopefully as I learn about outfitting the mesh avatar, I can do so without hitting the max on attachments very often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
