Creating a Custom AO

[DaisyMaeClementine]

Soooooo....I only just learned I can create a custom AO in Firestorm.  I'd like to free up some "wearing" slots by creating my own AO from animations I have already purchased.  Is it possible to pull animations from Vista Chica Boom and Hug and Kiss, etc to put them into the Firestorm AO so I can save some slots and make my own AO?

 

Thanks much for the help *hugs*

As long as you can copy or move the animations out of those other HUDs then you can add them to Firestorm.  If the AO is NO-MOD and the animations are NO COPY then you won't be able to pull them out.

Create a separate folder to hold the animations that you want to put into the Firestorm AO.  Rez your other HUDs and Edit them.  In the Object tab of the edited HUD,  copy or move the animations from the HUD to the folder you created for the Firestorm AO.  Then open the Firestorm AO and drop the animations into the applicable areas - stand/walk/run/sit/etc...

Here is the Firestorm Wiki: https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/animation_overrider

And here is a video that will help walk you through it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j28wfz4G_r8

If you do a search, you'll likely find other videos also.

I believe you can if they are mod.  If they are also copy, the the animation will also stay in your AO.  Put the AO on your screen and right click edit.  Find the contents tab to see a list of the animations.  Drag them into your inventory. 

When you are putting them into the Firestorm AO, pay attention to whether the animation is for standing, sitting, walking, running, swimming, flying, turning, crouching, jumping etc.  You have to put them into the correct drop down menu.

I used this one when I was using the Firestorm AO.

They get pretty detailed on when it comes time to setup the notecard..  You have to make sure the things in your notecard match  the things in the firestorm AO or it won't work..

I know a lot have TYPING in a different spot and a couple others..

They go over it in this one..

Myself, I switched to a ZHAO II..  It just runs better for me.. FS AO is nice for saving slots though..
