How can I stop the "rebaking textures" notifications?

[Polkamatic Feller]

I am using the latest SL viewer and chose to rebake textures. Since then, my screen is bombarded with notifications about how long every rebaking  took and every new av I can't see because my screen is scrolling with these notices that I can't close fast enough.

How can I turn off the notifications? Will this process stop or slow down?

I sounds like you have activated one of the diagnostic consoles.  Open your Advanced menu (CTRL+Alt+D) and click on Consoles to see if one of them has an X next to it.  If so, click it off.  (If you are on the V2 viewer, this may be on your Develop menu ,CTRL+Alt+Q.  I'm not sure.)

Well, under Develop (v2) none of the consoles or infos were checked. It's coming up in a smaller chat window on the right side, with inventory/appearance open they scroll up the middle of the screen. Not sure what I did but it's dragging things down...I'm thinking a full reinstall will get me back on fastest, he ponders fearlessly unaware of the consequences before him.

Thanks for the help, Rolig!

I just noticed it coming up in nearby chat screen too,fwiw....

The problem was in the debug menu, I had apparently switched Debug AvatarResTime to false. Reseting it to default True stopped the notices. I feel better already!

You may be right that a re-install is in order. If you do that, be sure to delete everything in the current program folder on your hard drive before downloading and reinstalling. Loading a new copy on top of an old one may make you inherit old problems. You can save you archived chat logs, if you wish, though. BTW, this is not a really scary process. Your inventory is safe on SL's servers along with the rest of your account information, so re-installing should let you pick up right where you left off.

I think I dodged the reinstall. Thanks again.

Yay, TEAM!! Nice detective work. I mess around with Debug settings myself sometimes just to see what they do. Sometimes the results are unexpected, though, so be sure to leave a trail of breadcrumbs if you're doing this yourself. It's always good to remember what you did so you can back out again if you need to.
