Not yet BoM ready, however it is Omega without an extra-cost relay.

back in 2006. Developing what? jewellery, houses, bodies, clothes, heads, helicopters, airplanes, annoying habits .... It's hard to know where to start.

I find it so much easier in RL. To get dressed all I have to do is rummage through a draw full of knickers, find the ones I want, stick one leg into each hole, pull them up found the bum; rummage through the draw for some tights that aren't laddered, and pull one bit over each leg taking care not to push my toenails through the nylon.... and so on for each item: pants, bra, top... In SL it's so hard, I click each item in my inventory and it's done. Why can't it be like RL?

This is wisdom. The biggest issue I have is the LATENCY of my high-bandwidth connection when dealing with the USA. I'm in very rural North UK - i.e my line is long, the line from the local hub to London is long, the line under the Atlantic is long... This wasn't helped by rerouting of connections in California due to a power outage last week (as described to me). Just as a 'for instance'. Right now a ping on secondlife.com comes back in 42 ms, whereas as ping to google.com only takes 22 ms, but a local server comes in at under 1ms. (ms = miliisecond) We need the Lindens to increase the virtual speed of light in their systems.😖

Oh! I think they are far far worse than 3 years ago. I used to be able to fly, now I sail. And even then we always say (now) that there is a ration of sailing sim crossings per login! There is a great difference between makers though. Some have billions of huge scripts, some have one or two small ones, and some cross well, and others don't. Not quite got the correlation yet.

Edit. Changed my mind. I just went to a store in world, went to their Outlet, and got a System Skin for L$500. I'm very happy with it, so will now shut up.

Hmm? Wouldn't it be nice if we could measure FPS and set Draw Distance by script? Then we could automatically adjust draw distance to 32 when near one of those monstrosities. Now that's something we could ask Lagging Lab for, soon.

It would be good if the Thread detailing who has BoM ready stuff also had a 'rip-off' flag. Caveat Emptor, the US motto, as usual I guess.

I have found LL very good at rebooting sims that I report. So I will continue to report them thanks, and continue to encourage everyone to do the same.

Whist this is certainly true, your average SL user is not your average systems manager of an industrial computer system, so the quality of the report tends to be low. @animats big contribution has been to document the issue of sim crossings bugs (I think there are several) in a way that a programmer can use the info. My approach is different, I just tell LL every time I have a failure. Even if all they do is look and see it's me again, it still cost them. If we all did it, they would soon put in resources to fix the issue because faults would cause them costs. If it's broken - report it, every time. Something like: Going from 'region name' to 'region name' is broken. SL Date & Time: Vehicle: Number of occupants:

Sorry about that Skell, I was typing from memory. My gripe isn't about understanding BoM, or how to apply it. I read your guides, they are good. I just can't find any skins that I can prove support it, and allow me to see the result, before buying. There is just no 'clear nomenclature' for BoM-on-Head, BoM-on-Body-with-blank-head, BoM-on-Body, BoM-on-both. Now we all know that a System Layer Skin applies to both body and head, so I want to know if the skin I am looking at will apply well to my Maitreya body-with-interim-BoM-Hud + Lelutka-BoM-enabled-head and Slink-Redux feet. You see my difficulty?

You may wait a while. Marketing people are not known for 'soon'. Right now no one knows how this will shake out. I want to convert to BoM to get the lag benefits, but the complexities of the different marketing approaches of the vendors is overwhelming. I understand the technology, but I'm not convinced the creators understand the market.

In another thread a CSR for a skin supplier is bemoaning having the run around explaining BoM to customers. Well tough luck buddy, the whole thing is a marketing mess! Rule 1: No demo, no sale.

I want this. I want to derender the electric pylon in my view of my mountain!

One thing comes to mind. The physics shape is scaled by the uploader to match the mesh. So you MUST have vertices in the physics that match the vertices of the extremities of the mesh.

Glad you agree there is no information out there. It says in the availability thread in this forum that xyz has BoM stuff, but there is no way of knowing which stuff. I know exactly how much time and effort goes into product design and manufacture. It's the marketing I am complaining about.

Then why or why or WHY isn't there ANY information in store? I am not buying anything until I can prove they will work. Been there lost my shirt before.

Yes it is Skin Creators. There is No, as in ZERO information on the vendors in world on in MP to tell you if they include a system layer for BoM.

And could you tell BEFORE you bought them that they had System Skins and were BoM ready? That's my main point. Lack of any info. When we went to Mesh we had a logo on the ads - for this - Nada.

Ya, it's a mess. It's not really ready for mass release yet, as none of the skin suppliers have any information available apart from 'soon'. ('Soon' - a four letter word in Second Life)

Okay, I give in! Short of buying a new skin, how do you know if the skin you like is going to contain a system layer in the tone you want? And how do you know what it will look like on your BoM compatible (e.g. Lelutka) head? I ain't buying anything until I know what it will look like. P.S. I spent an unhappy hour zipping from store to store, and found no mention of Bakes on Mesh anywhere. Ditto time searching on MP.

Where did you get Glam Affair BOM skins? I looked at every section of the Glam Affair store and there is no mention of BoM anywhere. Is it a secret?

Hey Boss Linden, When do I get the raise? (Boss Linden) Soon.

That second link, and League's Foot'n'Finger fixers are true godsend for those waiting patiently for skins that work with BoM.
