Vesper Kling Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I know this must be a well known issue but i dont find information anywhere. I have a lot of shoes and boots with heels that dont fit anymore. Not possible to edit either. Do I have to throw away all shoes and start over??

Venus Petrov Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I do not know if it is a 'well-known issue'. I have not heard of it. However, if your shoes are not mod or do not have a script that allows you to increase the size, the only other way you can make them fit is to shrink the size of your feet. Normally footwear does not change size on its own so perhaps you adjusted your shape or started using another shape where the foot is a bit larger. There is no reason to toss them away.

Orca Flotta Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 zacly! Neither your objects nor your avie's shape change on their own. Obviously you played on your shape in Appearance editor. Or did you try a demo shape from a shape shop? Demos often have superr huuuge hands and feet and are - as you observed correctly - no mod. That's no issue but intention by the shape makers so you won't actually use their free demos in world. Female shoes are usually made to fit slider size 0 feet, everything bigger will make your feet stick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theresa Tennyson Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 If you're talking about part of your foot showing outside your shoe now this is a side effect of recent graphics changes that effect older shoes. The new viewers no longer hide things behind "invisiprims" when lighting and shadows are turned on. When they're turned off they still should look fine. You can try to find an "alpha" layer you can wear to do the same thing the old invisiprims did, and then you can still wear the shoes. Boots are easy, pumps aren't bad. Sandals with open heels and no prim foot can be tricky though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 What Theresa said. Invisiprims was a bug that LL does not support anymore. Try to play with alpha layers from one of the free packs, like this one: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Avatar-Alpha-Overlays-101311-update/2312783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Kling Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 AH thanks!!! Yesh parts of my heel showing especially (see pic). Shoes without heel is fine. I always have lightning, dept of field and shadows enabled Im afraid ) So that´s the reason. I suspected something techie as some friends of mine has same issues and has no clues why. Hrrmmm Ill look for an alpha layer then? But how does that look for other viewers? ( I have size 0 on my feet and same shape as I havent used this avie for a long time.)

Alpha layers are not supported on older viewers and Invisi prims are not supported with Lighting and Shadows So you better use both:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Kling Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 oh god! I threw away all inviciprims already Ppl need to stop use all those sh-ty old viewers!!! Otherwise i have to go barefoot :matte-motes-sour: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samara Sharkfin Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 ....and you can't even use pretty mesh barefeet as long they stick to they old vewers that do not show meshes. It's a sad thing, i have lovelly friends that cannot buy a newer PC that supports the new viewers, as long that it's just invisiprims, alpha socks and meshes they stil can use SL, but one day or another other things will be updated and they will be lost :smileysad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Boyle Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have started making my own alpha masks, which fit me exactly, which the ones that come with shoes sometimes don't. Also, once you have made one, it is pretty easy to tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Kling Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 OH hmm... sounds good!

Otherwise i have to go barefoot :matte-motes-sour: The number of people still on the old V1 who can't see alpha layers is very tiny now. Even viewers that are more recent but retain the V1 user interface, like Phoenix, can see them now. So I wouldn't worry about it. I too tossed my invisiprims out a while ago and have never regretted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melita Magic Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 What I did was: I looked all through my inventory for invisiprims that were kind of big. Then I stretched them until they covered up the feet sticking out. I wondered why the feet suddenly stuck out! Doggone it some of us will let go of viewer 1 when they pry it out of our avatar's cold unbending hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureDeviant Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks so much for this post! I have had the same issue, I had not been to second life in a few years, and all of my shoes/feet look really terrible! I'll try some of the suggestions found here.

Darla Fanbridge Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) I don't even bother wearing shoes in SL. I prefer being barefoot all the time. Ironically, in real life, I rarely go barefoot. Edited August 2, 2017 by Darla Fanbridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Well, in SL you don't have to worry much about broken glass, dog poop, or screaming hot asphalt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
