hey.. i tried to do all u said.. as u told the current outfit folder came back by system.. but the current look folder is missing now.. what can i do?

 

Yes.  As you figured out the 'Current Look' folder is not needed, nor should it even be there.  Way to go figuring that out!

Uh oh. So it seems that when I finally could SEE myself (and be seen by others) I just had a HUGE moment of luck. Anyway, I'm sure I had the Metachat problem, because I just still can see the offending folders (the infamous Current Look ones) in the inventory. But I thought LL just found the way to bypass them. Not the case, apparently, and I'm very sorry for that because it means that NOONE else but me was able to feel good again. 

What did I do? I don't know. I spent some time trying to shuffle the folders: I just jumped into the ONLY Current Look folder I could open and changed the four or five items I could find there with some original baseline items, trying to see if there was any way to Rez. I did it twice, if I remember well: the first time I did it two or three days after the problem manifested, and with some tweaks here and there, this way I managed to see a very bad version of me. Then tried putting on another outfit and yes, it worked. But NOONE else could see me for hours, anyway, so I knew it was just a temporary fix. And when I reloaded, I was again a puff of smoke for everyone.

I put aside this amateur fix for some days. Then tried it again the very same day I found my looks back, if I do remember well, just to kill time. But I couldn't make it work, so I was desperately trying to remember what I had already done days before and was wondering what I was doing wrong.  

Then I logged off and then, some hours later, I logged on again and *wham*, here I was, and this time everyone could see me, I was able to change looks, put on my fav outfit and was even able to log off and coming back on without becoming a smoke ball again. 

So I thought the fix was on, and I never thought about it again. Just too happy to see everything back to the way it used to be. It seems now that It was not the case: apologize to those who were living the illusion the fix was imminent. It was not, and still it isn't, it seems. 

All I can do is sharing my experience, hoping someone could be able to have the very same luck I had just mixing and messing with the folders contents. Right now, all I can say is that all I'm wearing DOES NOT go to the Current Outfit Folder but in the Current Look one, where I can find everything I'm currently wearing and everything I put on from time to time. The Current Outfit Folder is full of things I AM NOT wearing, an outfit I had on BEFORE starting to change again for good. And I changed much, even the mesh body. Everyone is seeing me right now, 

Hope this helps,

Peace  

 

I was going crazy, this worked perfectly Thank you xxx

I pulled the trigger on the fix suggested by @Feelfreeto ... it worked great! Followed the steps, couple relogs later, and I’m back to me again! (I did do reset default female avatar for good measure - between deleting folders in radegast and dumping my trash folder in my usual viewer. Relogged, popped on my naked avi outfit, relogged, and all was well again.) Thank you so much for posting this @Feelfreeto

I actually was back to being normal yesterday, even with the multiple look folders. Since they applied the fix I went back to being grey avi/orange cloud. The multiple look folders are gone but I am not back to being grey. I applied all the different suggestions(logging in and out, changing avatars) from the posted blog. Nothing has worked. They have closed my ticket but I am going to reopen it and post my status.

Questions.

So you have only ONE Current Outfit folder?  Do you have any Current Look folders?  How about your trash? Any Current Outfit or Current Look folders in your trash?

Um an update, after reading a bit more I discovered my folders were still there, so I trashed them, emptied the trash, tried an old outfit with old body and then I appeared again

 

WORKED!!!

I could hug you LOTS. 

For everyone else: 

Go looking into the Trash folder. 

Empty it. 

Go looking for the "Lost and found" folder, empty it itself. 

Empty the Trash folder again. 

Relog.

You will be rezzed.

Following what others posted down and new information posted in the blog, I found those current look folders moved to Lost and Found folder. Deleted them. Deleted trash. Relogged and now fixed. :)

DO NOT... I repeat, DO NOT, transfer copy items from a restored/previously infected avatar to another avatar.  Apparently the bakefail is contagious.  My newly restored avatar from the MetaChat/Thanksgiving Bakefail transferred a piece of worn jewelry to the avi I had been using during the downtime and once the jewelry was worn, the previously uninflected avatar now has the same issue.  
 

Kill me now!

The Cool VL Viewer v1.28.2.0 released today now allows to move or delete ”protected” folder types when they are not named as they should (e.g. ”Current Look” is not the proper name for a COF type, which should be named ”Current Outfit”) or are not located at the root of the inventory.

This allows fixing this issue (and any other similar issues) while securing the genuine protected folders (i.e. you do not risk deleting or moving them by mistake).

I would suggest you repost this in the "avtars" forum, the thanksgiving bakefail was an oddity, you'll get more general help and advice in the other forum.

Short summary of things to try:

1: make sure you are wearing the required bodyparts - hair eyes skin shape

2: try rebaking textures

3. Got to a quiet region and wait to be sure your inventory has finished loading. Start off with the basic system body, with the four necessary body parts, and add clothing one item at a time to see if it is any particular item that triggers the problem.
