    Classic skin with mesh or bento avatar

    Thanks for sharing the pictures of the Daniel bento head, it looks very nice

    Yes I know I'm not doing my part for the male SL market but does it count that I buy my partner several dresses over the course of the year for the holiday?   :matte-motes-wink-tongue: just kidding :)

    Maybe if we guys did buy more clothes etc we'd have more bento heads released for us already or creators would be more likely to "upgrade" older outfits to work with current bodies, Something for me to think about

    I'm not doubting your wrong and thats why most creators won't update an old product but it makes no sense to me, I know if the creator of my favorite outfit from The Gentry Night Ryder were to make and updated mesh version of it and an applier version to make the old one usable with mesh I would be getting at least one of them if not both depending on how both of the new versions looked, if the new mesh version looked better then the old classic version I'd be more likely to spend the lindens to buy that one even if I'd already gotten the applierand I have several outfits from the gentry but thats just me

    Thank you for replying

    Thank You for your reply, it's possible I'll stick with my classic body and use a mesh head and hands if I find one close to my current look

    Your comment "Unfortunately usually only the creator has access to the texture used and few of them are willing to spend time and effort setting up appliers for their old outfits." brings up something I guess I'll never understand, Why would a creator not want to make more money, if they can make a mesh version of a classic outfit they made and sell it to the people using mesh that like the outfit but cant use the classic one or make an applier so the owner of one of their classic outfits can keep using it with a mesh body and not find another creator to give their lindens.

    Something I've learned is to never stop learning so if I can add to what I already know I will

    Thank you again for your reply, sadly it's more the a couple of outfits I'd want to be able to use, I have 5 or 6 from The Gentry and a couple of others in his store I wouldn't mind owning. Basicly it's any outfit I have bought thats good quality, I've sent an IM to Sheen Revnik from The Gentry asking if he had mesh versions of his outfits but have not heard back yet and I'll have to look through my order history to find the creators of other outfits I want to keep and do the same.

    In a perfect Second Life world mesh bodies etc would come with buildt in appliers etc to make classic outfits fit or creators could work with an applier maker to make appliers for their outfits if the couldn't do it themselves

    The big thing that is holding me back from moving to a mesh body and a bento head, hands and feet (not sure if there are or will be bento feet) is that I still have not found one that looks like my current face etc

    Thanks again for your reply

    Thank you for your helpful responce, I already had the mesh body addicts site bookmarked :smileyhappy: I also went and picked up the demo versions of the jeans and shirt so I have clothes to try when I try a new avatar

    I've been google search and watching youtube videos to learn as much about mesh and bento as I canso I have some idea what I'm looking for instead of stumbling blind

    the blue jeans outfit is one I'd want to keep using along with my favorite the gentry Night Ryder (   https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/The-Gentry-Night-Ryder/3864510  ) the large majority of clothing in my inventory came from freebie shops and is no big loss if there is no way to use it with mesh and other Items I know I don't want to lose

    Again Thank You For Your help

    Thats what I'm trying to decide, to go all mesh or stay with my current avatar, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about mesh and the new bento bones to figure out all my options, like if I could use my current skin etc to keep my "face" or if I need to find a mesh or bento enabled head that is close to how I look now and try to change it.

    I've got favorite outfits that I wear all the time and I'm trying to figure outr what my options are there as well, will these classic body outfits work with a newer mesh body or if there will be an omega applier that will work to make classic clothes fit or if I would need to try contacting the creators of the clothes to see if they have mesh versions

    Thank You for your responce

    Alwin, I do understand that it is all mesh but what I was trying to say in my first reply to you was that to most people in second life they will see them as being different, when you can go to a store and buy a mesh body/shape etc and a bento head they will be seen as being different even though they are not

    Linden homes and partners

    I belive this might be the best place to ask this question, I have a Linden home and I was wondering if there was a way to give my partner access to the parcels access menu so she can add or ban people, Is this possible or do I need to contact support for this?

    Thanks

    Other Residents objects showing in my prim usage

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with, I have other resident objects showing up in my prim usage when these objects are not even in my house

    When I go to Build - Pathfinding - Linksets they show up and are anywhere from 72m to 192m away I have tried returning the objects that give me that option I get the folowing message in chat       "Removal of the object 'Apt Pose Stand' from the simulator is disallowed by the permissions system"  when I try returning the Apt Pose Stand

    When I click "Teleport me to it" it will take me to other residents houses where these objects are

    How do I remove them from my prim usage adding them up if i could get rid of these I'd have 12 more prims I could use

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

    what do you think of the Ihud 8.0

    in General Discussion Forum

    Perrie

    It has happened to my friend 3 times and may be the result of using the ihud, The first time was right after we bought the ihud and she went to the cordova sandbox to try and learn how to use it and ended up being put in a cage by someone who decided it was wrong for her to be using ihud there and i'll admit and so will she that she shouldn't of been using it in a non combat sandbox

    The second time she and her sister went to a combat sandbox again to try and learn how to use the ihud and were attacked by at least 10 people, they deformed her sister and had her trapped when I got home from work and she tped me to her and they managed to animate her avatar in a not nice way ( I found out later they ahd also groped her) I confronted them asked them nicely to let her go and leave her alone and was promptly pushed from the sim, I tped home and tped her there as well

    The last time she had again gone to a combat sandbox and ened up laging it as told to her by the owner who also told her to delete everything related to the ihud or he would report her which is what made me post the 2 threads here and in roleplaying about the ihud to get opinions about it so i caould make an informed decision about it

    I'm not sure how much of the problems she had can be blamed on her inexperience with using the ihud but she was just trying to learn how to use it and didn't mean to cause anyone else problems

    Thanks to everyone that has answered so far you have given me a lot to think about, yes I also posted this in roleplaying because it might be a better place for it and i figured the more opinions I can get the better so i can make informed decisions and let my friend know to

    I may be new to SL but i do know better then to feed the trolls on in this case the griefers but its a little hard to walk away when they are bothering someone you care for

    Originally when I saw the ihud its appeal wa and is the deffense capabilitites so if anyone can give me  recomendations fo shields defense huds etc I would appreciate it and it might make it easier to comnvince my friend that the ihud may not be the best thing for us to use

    Thats why I asked for peoples opinions on it, if its going to cause my friend and I more trouble then not then we may want to look at something else for protections etc from the griefers in the sandboxes but I can see your point about people thinking we are griefers because of what we are using again its something to think about when we make a decision

    You have any thing you can recomend?

    Thanks again

    I can see where your coming from about it being a grieding tool though I guess to that depends on the person using it, but I will keep that in concideration when I and my friend decide what to do, I'm relativley new to second life and that is how it is refered to inthe discription, What i was looking for when i found the ihud was something that would put my friend and I on the same footing as the people griefing us, She recently was griefed in a weapons testing sandbox where the managed to grope her and then when she teleported me in animated her avatar in a not good way

    First not sure if this is the proper place for this so forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong section of the forums

    I recently bought the ihud 8.0 for both myself and a friend and she has had nothing but trouble because of it, today she was in a combot sandbox trying to learn how to use it when she was kicked from the sandbox the owner ended up telling her to delete everything the creator of the ihud gave her (though he could of meant the skybox etc she had started) and told her that the creator scripts bad stuff

    Has anyone else used the ihud?what were/are your experiences with it? I'd like your opinions both good and bad on the ihud so I can decide if my friend and i should continue using it or delete it and find another combat hud that the same features etc as the ihud to use

    Thanks for you help
