Just use scissors to remove them if you have to because they will NOT be pulled out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say, I'm guilty of this a lot of times.. My reason is, A lot of times I don't even have the chat open and have my ding off.. Not that I have a zillion friends IMing me all the time.. I get caught up in what I'm doing and sometimes don't notice the chat bar or flashing or even think of the chat.. A lot of times I check my groups right away when I first get in and those chats, then close the chat.. I can't speak for why others do this though..

You shouldn't use rubber bands that are not cloth covered as hair ties.

I would never want to do this to my friends because it's such an easy fix, they are worth hearing a ding from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagnu Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 23 hours ago, Bagnu said: I don't think PBR will attract any new users. It's just eyecandy for those of us who like that. And it's best used cautiously IMO. Not being able to revert back from PBR when necessary is a real issue in my mind. The firestorm team is working away on troubleshooting their Alpha viewer. I personally don't have any issues, but I might not be using certain features. Cinny can't post on her feed with it, and Cat had issues with alphas since she's on a MAC. Apparently Mac users have to turn shadows off, or the viewer uses alpha blending, and things such as my hair turn invisible . I just learned from The Firestorm Preview group, that there IS a way to revert back from PBR. It's easy. We click on the material window where our textures usually display, and then choose "none" from the popup window. Setting it to "default" worked for me too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never want to do this to my friends because it's such an easy fix, they are worth hearing a ding from time to time. The ding is off for it's own reasons.. Mainly for not waking my boys or my husband that is sleeping a few feet away..It's why the uncheck on the box is there as well. I'm not doing anything to them by not answering.. Just as they aren't doing anything to me.. We just pick things up the next time.. I don't ignore my friends, I just miss them saying hi sometimes.. Just as they miss me saying hi to them sometimes.. hehehe We don't get mad at each other if we don't answer or don't answer right away.. We all knew ahead of time what the deal was before getting on each others lists.. Anyone on my list knows I'm either busy or short on time or distracted or just didn't see the chat.. I could understand someone getting mad if things weren't laid out ahead of time.. that's why I like making things clear before we get started.. it just makes things that much easier socially.. ETA: Let me also add that I wasn't defending the person that didn't answer you.. I was just saying, I've done this myself is all..

A lot of times I check my groups right away when I first get in and those chats, then close the chat.. I can't speak for why others do this though.. I also do this. I get very focused on the things I do and interruptions can be irritating. Even if I love my friends, that "ding" is thoroughly distracting and can even be jarring. That is just my personality. I try to remember to use away messages so my friends know I am busy with a project or off taking pics or decorating a house or whatever. Requiring time alone is important for many people, so when that happens, I try to use an alt. (my main account has the best inventory though 😄) The not-so-nice way to say it is: I am not in SL to entertain others and will socialize on my own terms. Luckily, I have emotionally mature, understanding friends that recognize this important part of my identity. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you can't do is add or edit legacy (Binn Phlong) textures after you've added PBR. You have to remove the PBR materials entirely to add or get back to the legacy ones. Then, afterwards, you can re-apply the PBR ones. Also, Binn Phlong and PBR textures scale a little differently. Whereas you can tile legacy textures using the edit handles, PBR doesn't tile at all this way: you have to add the scaling parameters manually into the appropriate boxes in the "texture" tab of the edit dialog. Which is, to put it mildly, a pain in the butt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeve: Usually, that's the case with me too. However, I wanted to test "mirrors" and using Reflection Probes to give different lighting effects. Now, I'm motivated to play with PBR more because "it's dark in here"! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to know a girl that left that ding on real loud then waited all night for a boy to message her. Every time a group went ding she went crazy mad. In this modern world we think we have to answer every text message or jump to every ding, its actually really not good for humans. I leave my headset jammed into my lap top sitting on the desk so i don't have to listen to every ding, and most of the time everything is turned down in my settings except for voice and music. Your real friends would not expect an instant reply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
