Hi everyone ^^ - I'm not entirely sure if this is the right forum for this post, since it's about the Firestorm Viewer, but I hope it's okay. My Firestorm Viewer has had multiple hard crashes (the OS dies as well) every day for a very long time now and across multiple versions of FS. And I haven't been able to find a solution online so I thought I'd make a post about this possible fix. I tried different settings, drivers, computers etc. and that didn't make any difference, except that surprisingly the crashes only happen when FS is running in windowed mode. When switching to fullscreen mode they disappear completely. I have no idea why that is but I've tested it in fullscreen mode for a week now with zero crashes (That's completely unheard of for me). Then I tested windowed mode again and bam it crashed twice within a day like it always does in my case. So the short version: If you're having daily crashes with the Firestorm Viewer = Try running FS in fullscreen mode. It sounds stupid, but it really works in my case. (The setting is in the graphics settings and you'll need to restart Firestorm in order to switch to fullscreen mode.) PS. Just to be clear the Official SL Viewer is stable in my case with any settings. Switching to that would also solve the problem. I just prefer FS is all. Q: Wait you've been using the Firestorm Viewer even though it's been crashing every single day for months and months? A: Yes I have, and that might mean that I'm a bit nuts, but I really like that viewer. It's got so many wonderful options ^^ Have fun everyone.

Oh okay so I'd still be able to manually return them one by one after the sale. Thanks, that's good to know ^^ I read on some other post that the auto-return option is reset to 0 (off) when a parcel changes owner, and doesn't trigger unless the new owner switches it back on. I don't know if that's true though. On the Sell Land page there's this "Show Objects" button that seems to highlight all objects that allow Transfer. I'm guessing the objects that don't show up in the test are automatically returned at the moment of purchase? I've tried editing the objects and switching them from Transfer to Copy but that doesn't seem to remove them from the test. But if I create an empty notecard and set the notecard to not allow Transfer and then add it to my objects, then they stop showing up in the test. Rather cumbersome solution though. If it's even a solution at all.

Hi everyone ^^ If I put a mainland parcel up for sale and it still has lots and lots of stuff on it, will all of my stuff then automatically be returned to me the moment someone buys the parcel? The sale does not include objects, but from what I've read so far it seems like: Even with the "No, keep ownership of objects" option selected, all objects have their owner parameter set to the new land-owner at the moment of purchase. Objects that do not have Transfer allowed are automatically returned to me. Objects that do have Transfer allowed are transferred to the new land-owner and are only returned to me when or even if the new land-owner manually chooses to return them, or if the new land-owner re-enables the "Auto return other Residents' objects" option. I don't think I've understood it correctly because that can't be right, can it? I don't want to clear out the parcel beforehand since it'll probably take a long time to sell it. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I'm beginning to understand how this whole mesh body thing works. Basically all my legacy clothes, texture based clothes and mesh alphas are history and I should look for new "applier clothes" that work with the body I choose. I'm new to the whole applier thing or rather I do have lots of clothing items that can be changed through a HUD but I didn't know that was called an applier. I think I read that Omega appliers work with most bodies but I'm confused as to how many "applier clothes items" I can wear at the same time. It sounds like each body has some sort of limit. Or maybe that's only in regards to the number of layers they can have? It also sounds like the Maitreya body is a community favorite and that should work with both Omega appliers and Slink feet. So I guess I could get the best of both worlds that way. I did actually go looking for the skin vendor but since the land is empty and for sale I'm gonna say they aren't around any more. That's okay though. With the color tint options I think I can make it work. And like you say I can always look for a modern skin that has both a classic skin for my head and a matching applier for the body. "You don't have to wear the body all the time" is also a great tip. Obvious and yet I hadn't even thought of it that way. Thanks again for your help ^^

Hi everyone. I'm thinking about diving into the world of mesh bodies but there's just so many tings I don't really understand about it. And I though you might be kind enough to offer some advice and point me in the right direction. What I'd like is a body with less rugged edges, more detailed hands and feet that overall deforms better than the default body. (which is really rather poor in those regards) I'd also like to keep my shape and skin so I don't look totally different from usual. And finally I'd like to keep my options for clothing as open as possible. It looks like there's a lot of different bodies to choose from. So far I've been trying the demo versions from both Maitreya and Slink and they both look and deform a lot better than the default body. They also seem to work just fine with my shape. Probably because they're fitted mesh bodies. But then the problems begin. It seems I can't use my skin with the bodies, but I can get quite close to my skin tone by tinting the body and then blending the neck line. It's... okay but not excellent. Also I can't seem to use texture clothing at all with the bodies and for mesh clothing I can't use the accompanying alpha textures. I'm guessing these are all related. The Maitreya body has the option to hide bits and pieces of the body and while being quite detailed options it still doesn't work with most of my wardrobe sadly. If you have any advice I'd really appreciate it because I don't really know where to go from here. And after trying the demo versions I really don't feel like staying on the default body. Thanks for your help ^^
