Scylla Rhiadra Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 So, certain creators . . . I think a month and a half ago or so I posted here about a hat that I'd bought that came with a broken texture HUD. The HUD on the demo had worked fine, but the one with the full product just . . . sat there. Click clickety click, nothing. I tried opening the box again, I tried a redelivery. Still broken. So I sent a notecard to the creator. No response. Tonight I was preparing to send a somewhat less well-tempered notecard to the creator again, when I suddenly had an idea: what if the DEMO HUD worked on the actual purchased product? And guess what? It does. So problem solved, and I don't have to write a grumpy notecard to the deadbeat creator (this, btw, is NOT an old product). But yeeesh, dude. So do I now write a review? At the least, it would let others who buy the product know how to fix the problem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious if maybe something possibly could be blocking the hud? Also, did you try a redeliver recently? They may have gotten your first note card and fixed it and not gotten back in touch with you.. Just figured I would ask these before you made your review, cause people not having a problem with theirs can get pretty harsh in the comments in reviews.

I am reminded of an old bumper sticker, replace "HUD" with "HORN": "HUD BROKE, WATCH FOR FINGER" So many things to try: Are the scripts running? Are the scripts present? Probably the creator just screwed up royally and it still only replies to owner or didn't get rights assigned properly. Makes you wonder if much of there other stuff is borked, or just this chapeau. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll a lot of times look in the reviews if I can't figure something out, to see if what I'm experiencing is something showing up there also.. Sometimes people even put in the fixes or if things are borked and need handled, things like that.. If it's a main hud for the product and there are a bunch of reviews, it'll probably show up there if there are any problems.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if the Demo HUD works..makes you wonder if they have cross-compatibility with the different hats/HUDs or maybe just between "demo" and "release".

Or maybe they got them turned around and put the demo in the product and the hud in the demo.. hehehe Some silly sellers put a dud hud in just to show what the hud looks like rezzed on your screen, but it has nothing in it.. One of the silliest things i ever seen in a demo.. Here is a demo of the product and since I don't know how to make a demo hud, or am so scared that you might be able to rip me off in some way that I'm not aware of, here is a demo dud hud just so you can see the hud too.. hehehehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (hope) I was not unkind: I explained the solution, gave the item three stars, and explained I'd have given it five were it not for the problems. By way of contrast, I wrote another review for another item from a different creator last night as well. I'd gifted a bus to a friend, and he couldn't work out where it was, because it didn't appear in the folder. (You had to rez a bus stop that was in the folder, and then "call" the bus (i.e., rez it) using that.) Both he and I had sent notecards to the creator asking about it, and she'd got back to us with very friendly, cheerful, and helpful IMs quite quickly. I wanted to write a review about how good the service was, but couldn't -- apparently you can't write a review if you gifted something. So I bought a car from the same maker, essentially so that I could write a nice review about the customer service on that product. 52 minutes ago, Ceka Cianci said: I'm curious, does the demo hud rez in the same spot on your screen as the hud that doesn't work?

Yeah, HUD position, and place where I wore it (my own parcel) were all the same for both proper HUD and demo one. I also got a redelivery last night just to be sure. Same problem. If the creator gets back to me helpfully, I'll happily delete the review -- although, as I say, it's not a mean one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama where it's hitting they have them on the thunderstorm warning that is the level down from tornado warning.. They're telling them to get in their safe spots.. We haven't had anything too bad here.. the storm came through real fast here.. If you're anywhere south of us and down in all that going on.. Be safe.
