Well today I loaded a BOM body, Slink and a BOM head Lelutka, and used new Glam Affair skins, and Bolson tattoos. It all went easy as could be -- https://gyazo.com/60c28d6cffd72c29a7bcbf33f0bb1508. UNTIL -- I tried to use my clothes. Almost nothing worked!! 3years of making mesh clothes which rely on Alpha cuts left me with nothing but a huge mess. I would literally have to open Photoshop and make thousands of alphas, months of WORK not game play. What I do not personally understand -- is it completely impossible to have an alpha HUD? Is Slink's solution to build thousands of Alphas in Photoshop the only way? If so I will not be using BOM, I am simply not willing to give up all my mesh clothing (I rough guess is only about 10% of my clothes have alphas) . I don't think Photoshop should be part of the SL experience for every user. If BOM becomes the only way -- is there a solution other than trashing many thousands of clothes?

Just for the record there are Glam Affair skins for Legacy. It really opens up using the body with a lot of heads. But no matter how much I looked at the Legacy demo, I could not convince myself to put up with it. The upper body and arms are beautiful, so close, but so expensive.

This is an old thread but for anyone still interested there is a much better solution, which Callum Meriman is on to. Use a female head with a male omega skin. It will then apply to the head, vtech, and Maitreya body. I personally use Lelutka head and a Seven Deadly Skins omega skin. The Catwa works, but the neck is very oddly shaped in my opinion, but it is a pretty head.

Sadly none of this appears to work if the URL is just random characters.

For myself the raise in premium seems a huge increase. With the stipend -- a premium account was about $12 a year, now it will be close to $40. I wonder if there is any thought of raising the stipend to 350 or so?

The new homes are great -- but are so out of whack scale-wise it is almost comical. The doors feel about 15 feet tall.

"cash-flow-positive alts are a bit less smug about it." Yep -- alts used to cost about $12 a year, now they will cost about $39 a year unless they raise the stipends. At $12 it was worth having a couple for a land group, at $39 better to just pay the full tier. We get a year more to sort it all out, anything could happen. "What me worry?"

Today it is even worse, I just had a TP which threw me back two locations -- and as usual ripped my Avi to pieces. I may just leave SL for a few weeks, it is really useless right now.

Just got the worst one yet, got the "message" then a frozen screen, had to do a force quit. And the worst damage to my avatar I have had. Skin, old tats, hair color, all changed. As far as I am concerned Second Life no longer works. What a mess.

I am not paying enough attention as if I was actually testing a database for one of my coders. Sadly I have not been that orderly. But I am getting a lot of total closes without going through any dialog boxes or quit buttons. I have never had it bring down the OS. I keep hoping it will get better. 🙂

All I can say is it really tears up my avatar. And- i can almost always tell when it is about to happen, my TP progress bar stops, and even if I cancel the app closes.

Most of the time I get a notice usually followed quickly by a close of the app without use of the "quit" button -- so yes it mostly closes on it's own. Mac OS does not report it as a crash most of the time. Always my Avi reverts back a couple of saves. But there is a delay between the notice and the app closing -- during which if I do nothing the app does not close. Only if if I try to move does the app close instantly. So perhaps technically the app is being spontaneously closed, not crashing? I would have to talk to someone much more Apple OS knowledgeable to really understand what is happening.

Thanks Cindy -- I have just become so disheartened by this crashing I am no longer moving on SL between sims much -- it is so bad. I realize now the post is redundant.

Some people just insist on being right. OK you are so right, no question about it. You are the smartest man on SL.

Seems everyone is aware of this, but it is getting worse for me, crashing more often than when it first started.

Solar Legion surely knows full well a file is created on the Mac called "conversation.log," which is a LIST of all the text files created during conversations. When conversation.log is lost the new conversation.log starts a LIST from the date it is created (it omits all older files from its list). Only the list is lost, all the transcripts are still on the local hard drive. My question was -- can a complete list be created which includes all of the files from the beginning? The answer is NO. However a backup copy of conversation.log will have all of the entries, of course. And as a side note -- missing entries can be added to the list, by simply opening a conversation with that member. Why Solar is confusing a list with a transcript is beyond me. But duh -- the file "conversation.log" is just a list not a transcript.

Just grabbed the Valentina for an alt, and it is pretty great, especially for a linden. The alphas are very nice, better than most bodies, and I was able to fit system mesh on her very quickly and easily (I tested with Carla's clothes). The only weakness really is the skin, rather bland. Still she is much better than a default system body and head, and there is a lot of free stuff for her. Or shop on 50 Linden Fridays, she seems to take Maitreya pretty well. I used freebie mesh eyes I had. But there is now an alpha for system eyes. IMO this is a great first Avi, really easy to set up, just open a Ruth and delete everything in outfit, and mount everything in the new body folder. It does not come with hair. I used a 1 Linden Rez hair.

Cedric you are correct it does seem to be the sim edge. If I put the above water linked prim very near the edge the platform again fails. Putting it back in the middle and all is well.

Oddly all three that I mentioned above were on sim borders. But one which works is over 4k in size. The one that fails 2k.

I have all water-land in two different sims. I like to build a platform and set it just below the water line so that I can walk everywhere in shallow water. On one sim I can transport to the area and walk normally -- but on the other sim I cannot, I fall through the platform to the ocean bottom when I transport, but not when I walk. This happens in any TP, from outside the sim or within the platform. On the sim where I fall through I have to have a prim or land above water to land on, and then I can walk on the submerged platform normally. This happened on another sim which I no longer have, but the became normal one day. I have changed every setting I can and still I fall through. Also I cannot select the platform for "edit" without going below the water line. On the one that is working I can. So this must be a sim setting that is causing this, which I cannot change. Currently my only solutions are an invisible platform above the water line, which is not great since I appear to be on the surface of the water, or linking to a prim that is always above the water line which does actually solve the problem, but does not explain it to me. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I have just given up - I will come back to SL later in the week, the system is just a mess for now. No login, no Marketplace purchases.

I have basically been locked out of SL for two days, all of the 26th, and now half for the 27th (Eastern Standard Time). I have gotten on for short periods of time, only to be booted off. MarketPlace is nonfunctional. What a mess they are in.

Yes it has recently Jan 2018 begun failing again.
