It's not an issue that's been going on since 2011; it's an issue that's been going on forever. The SL avatar has issues, and they are exacerbated by the SL default lighting, which is terrible. You don't need a facelight, you need better environment settings: World > Environment Editor > Fixed Sky and choose one from the drop-down. There's a ton of dramatic stuff in there but you want one that doesn't have harsh directional light, because that's what causes the creases to be so heavily shadowed. Nam's Optimal Skin and Prim is a good default to begin with.

This is generally a height issue. Many places that ban "child avs" also have a height requirement. What is your height on the sliders? As a rule of thumb if you are having this issue: -- Short with boobs: no child issue. -- Tall with no boobs: no child issue. -- Short with no boobs: potential child issue. If you don't want to change your height, then change your Sandboxes. Dreams allows child avs, for example.

I would suggest that instead of vowing to "never buy mesh again" like a petulant child, you vow to never buy mesh again without trying the demo the seller provides for you.

Thank you. And that works perfectly if I put it in the green spout prim -- it makes steam and it whistles! The question that's left is: how do I trigger that script in that prim by clicking the 'PRESS TO SHOUT' tea tag prim?

Hello :) I am working on a tea pot, which you can see here. I have a script in the tea tag that successfully starts and stops a sound when touched: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // [K] Kira Komarov - 2011, License: GPLv3 // // Please see: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html // // for legal details, rights of fair usage and // // the disclaimer and warranty conditions. // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Change this to either the NAME of a sound in the same primitive // as this script, OR the key of the sound to be played if it is not // in the same primitive as this script. string SOUND = "db0734c0-9869-4f9a-bc6b-c6da5fb61587"; integer o = -1; default { touch_start(integer total_number) { if(o = ~o) { llStopSound(); return; } llPlaySound(SOUND, 1.0); } } I also have a script that successfully toggles steam on and off from a prim in the spout: // Keknehv Psaltery's Particle Script v1.1 // 1.0 -- 5/30/05 // 1.1 -- 6/17/05 // This script may be used in anything you choose, including and not limited to commercial products. // Just copy the MakeParticles() function; it will function without any other variables in a different script // ( You can, of course, rename MakeParticles() to something else, such as StartFlames() ) // This script is basically an llParticleSystem() call with comments and formatting.

Obviously, the steam still needs to come from the spout :) Touching it again should turn both the sound and the steam off. I would appreciate any pointers anyone feels like offering. Thank you so much :)

AHA! Scale and Age! It's perfect now :)

Thank you both so much. The commented guff at least was useful for figuring out a little bit of what each line was for to make adjustments but as alway, cleaner is better However, I just noticed that while this smoke is lovely, it's about THREE MILES high -- I didn't realise until now, and I don't know which setting to change to make it less tall and more correctly scaled to the cigarette:

I need a full-perms animation of an avatar (who will be seated) raising a gun to the head -- basically, a suicide animation. I am happy to discuss this job more specifically, but ultimately I need a price... I do not want to play How Much Do You Want to Pay? because that's only slightly less fun than Oh, Pay Me Whatever You Think It's Worth! Please send me an IM if I'm online or a notecard if I'm not, as you prefer. Thank you!

I have no idea what a fairy egg is, but if it's something like these, then the key thing seems to be to make each listing unique, rather than just straight up duplicating listings over and over. His titles are all different and the description, whilst very short and just a repeat of the title, is therefore unique. Is that at all on the right track?

I re-did the red on grey to be white on grey and it is better. It's still not awesome but do you guys think they are of normal/acceptable quality? Thanks

OK thank you. Shuold I save at JPG and optimise myself before uploading?

The original image is a nice crisp PNG. The MP listing looks awful after upload. What am I doing wrong?

This turned otu to be a scripting question, not an animation one -- sorry!

Thank you!! For the future reference of anyone Googling this question, llStopAnimation(animation); errored but explicitly naming the animation worked, so we end up with: if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) { string animation=llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ANIMATION,0); //get the name of the first animation in objects inventory llStartAnimation(animation); llSetTimerEvent(15.5); } } timer() { llSetTimerEvent(0.0); llStopAnimation("Chicken Dance (looped)"); } }
