    Custom AUX channels or no AUX channels?

    in Bakes on Mesh

    Posted

    If creator A makes wings with BOM on AUX_3 channel and creator B makes a tail on AUX_3 channel, and a customer buys both and wears a BOM applier for the wings, will it also be applied to the tail?

    Yes, the answer is yes!

    What's the point of these aux channels if we can't make a custom channel for our products?

    Lost a bunch of No Copy inventory items, can't redeliver

    in Inventory

    So your furniture and all your other objects are inside something called a coalescedobject... It is in your lost and found folder and the icon in your inventory for it looks like a bunch of boxes bundled up.... Go to a sandbox and rez that while you have the edit window open.... It is basically a bunch of your items jumbled up.  You will be able to recover everything  :) 

     

     

    Ohhh Oops,  I forgot to mention...  It will not be named as my furniture because the coalesced objects contains everything in your house.  It will most likely be named one of the objects that was picked up....  It could be named "object"  or  "rug"  or anything

     

     

    A coalesced object is a single object. This is the icon for it. Please heed my advice. I want to resolve this.  http://tinyurl.com/mu8gg2g

    Anyway, I'll message you inworld.

    When I read threads like this, I think "that's never happened to me". I should stop thinking that, because now it just happened. I rezzed a PrimPossible bed - no copy of course. I was changing textures in the menu, and the first 2 went fine, then - poof. Copy PrimPossible cost so much, it is like cutting virtual stripes off my back.

    I followed the advice in that link. Logged off and in again. took off shadows and all that.

    I am not upset. I know every time I rez no copy items, it can be the last time. So I was prepared for that some day the inventory, or SL could do a trick on me.

    Does the items usually come back after some days?

     

    If you just messaged me, I'd help you recover it no matter what. I'm an expert in inventory recovery and I will help teach you how you can recover everything you have ever lost in second life. Not just my objects but everything. I'll message you inworld.

    Biggest example for me that I don't think too many know about:  In my home plot we use a scene rezzer to switch between multiple scenes without needing to replace everything every time we want to go back to a previous one(suuuuper handy!).

    Most no mod furniture creators--myself included--will gladly drop the rezzer scripts in for you. We do this all the time.

    So... if I want to customize a pose position and rotation suited to my particular avatar and save it persistently... in normal furniture I could just burn a new notecard. How does that work if the user can't edit the object's contents? I could imagine that theoretically every avatar's individual custom pose data for every instance of every item could be saved to an external server, but... yipes. Am I missing something?

    You can adjust the rotation and location of your poses through the menu and save those settings without having to save it to a notecard. Custom pose data is saved in a script.  However, the data for my pose system is actually saved on my RL server so I can go beyond the script memory limits in second life. In other words, my pose system doesn't use notecards. AVsitter is limited to around 150 animations per sitter. By storing the pose data in an external database, I can have unlimited animations (unlimited textures, menus, etc). I can also make changes to menus, textures, animations instantly through my server without having to send a 'physical' update.

    Part of it is that I've decided that when I get back into the market I'd much rather sell everything with copy perms.

    Everything I Sell is available in copy or no copy permissions. If the 'no copy' customer loses the furniture, I take a couple of minutes to help them recover the object. 50% of the time they find it (along with lots of other items they were missing from other creators!). If they can't find it, I send them a replacement. It's basically no copy with insurance.

    I sell no mod furniture and here's why:

    I enjoy the challenge of seeing how far I can take a mesh to 1LI so my furniture is typically 1.49LI. Therefore, if you resize it larger, LI shoots up exponentially.

    Adding animations, changing the menus, adding props, adding a rezzer, adding security, and creating sequences (even if they are not your scripts) takes too much time for the average person. It takes too much time even for the creator. Most SL users don't have the knowledge or expertise to do so. Why not create a product from the start that anticipates the customer's wants, needs and desires? That is what I do.

    Dozens if not hundreds of texture options? ✓

    Tint, full bright, shine adjustments in the menu? ✓

    Hundreds or even thousands of animations? ✓✓✓

    Other issues when you sell modifiable furniture: 
    -link it to another object and you are no longer seen as the creator
    -if they apply an ugly texture to it, now the object no longer looks the way you designed it. My textures are all baked using PBR shaders in professional 3D programs. Each texture is 100% custom and the shading is baked in.
    -they link or unlink it and break it. 
    -link it, LI goes up.
    -rename it and they no longer see the name of the object which you created.
    -resize it, LI goes up, rezzed props are no longer in their proper positions, animations invariably lose their adjustment. In other words, no pose system in SL dynamically adjusts to resizing furniture.

    I will lose customers by selling no mod but I am perfectly fine with that. I am an artist and I have imagined my art to look a certain way. SL has given me the ability to express it in a way that allows me to prevent others from altering my art. There's no one size fits all approach. There's so much amazing content out there that's mod, full perm, downloadable .dae meshes, you name it. It's a beautiful thing!

    I pay for 21 different classified ads since 2012 and get zero clicks for any of them...

    in Merchants

    I've been paying for these ads since 2012 and just recently looked to see if they were getting clicks...and I consistently get ZERO for any of them! All of these ads are over 111L each.  I haven't checked them for years so I don't know how long they haven't been working for. Are they not getting clicks or is there something wrong with the system? I'm paying about 5,000L a week for them (since 2012).  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    I just tried to add some new product images in chrome but to no avail. Then I went to firefox and uploaded them and they are viewable on that browser. However, they are still not viewable in chrome. Who do I contact to report this marketplace bug?

     

    Thank you for your time and consideration.
