    It's lag mostly. Quick prefs button has a bunch of sliders to help. Max avatars and Draw distance in particular.

    Thank you, not sure why you circled "Hover Height" though, maybe a mistake ?

    Reducing the UDP bandwidth won't solve your issue (it is not involved in textures and meshes downloads, which might be too slow to load in your case), much to the contrary; it would reduce the speed at which you get avatar data updates:  ”appearance” messages (which includes baked textures UUIDs that the viewer needs to download them via HTTP), objects updates (including avatar attachments, their texture UUIDs and mesh UUIDs, that the viewer also needs to download them via HTTP and thus fully rez the avatar), animations, position changes, etc. Please read this other post of mine where I explain everything about UDP bandwidth and the urban legend about it.

    Your viewer might log the reason why a given avatar won't rez (there may be several), so I'd look at the log first, to see what is wrong. Also, your viewer might offer (usually does offer, for a TPV) a ”Refresh”, ”Reload” or ”Reset” option in avatars' context/pie menu (right click on the avatar name tag and look for such an option in the (sub-)menu(s) or (sub-)pie(s)): try it, since it could make most avatars rez, at last.

    Finally, some TPVs got an option to render non-rezzed (”clouded”) avatars: if you do not want to see naked avatars on your screen, disable it !

    Hover height got nothing to do with this issue (it's a Z coordinate adjustment for your avatar, used to compensate when needed an animation does not properly level with the ground, because it was designed for an avatar taller/shorter than yours).

    While adjusting the draw distance and max non-impostors would lower the load of the OP's viewer and improve their FPS rate, it won't solve either non-rezzing avatars.

    I didn't took a look into the logs yet, that's beyond my skils. As for the draw distance or max avatars they're usually kept low when I'm in a crowded place and I slowly raise them if I see it's smooth, I honestly don't think it has anything to do with this so I agree with you on that, that's why I'm a bit lost on that problem.

  2. Hello, I have this annoying issue where some people do not rezz fully when I come into a very crowded place (over 50-60 people). Randomly some just appear like this : 4f8f015b417677931caab2dc74f7d3b1.png

    (I censored the private parts, I hope it's enough). 

    It look like the same issue than when BOM doesn't work or something. I tried to reduce my bandwidth from 3.000 to 1.500 but it doesn't change anything. Any idea why it happen and how to fix it ? It's so creepy... thanks.

  3. Hello, I never sold L$ so far but I'm curious on how it work. Like the requirements, the personal documents needed, the taxes on the transaction, and the steps to set all that up, etc... It seem pretty difficult to understand so an answer from someone who already did it could make it easier. 

    As an example, for someone living in Europe with the current L$/$/€ value how much € would you get if you sell 20.000 L$, taxes deducted of course. 

    Thank you !

    Do it exactly the same as you can see in the photo. (Rendershadowdetail : 0-2, +1)

    It work ! Thank you :)

    Edit : I wouldn't mind your "Double click for TP" and "Show Banlines" ones too ! And if you know about "Water Reflection" I'd take it too

  5. Hello, I'm looking for the name to the shadows control to add in the Quick Preferences button. Not the one to set the quality, but to chose between : None - Sun/Moon - Sun/Moon + Projectors.

    Here are a few examples on the control list for you to get what I mean :

    - NameTagShowUsernames : Turn on/off titles over people heads. 

    - AvatarNameTagMode : Turn on/off names over people heads. 

     

    Thank you !

  6. Hello Amelia,

    It's probably Maitreya's body in the pictures. However I would recommend Legacy over Maitreya. Maitreya isn't a bad body in my opinion but it made its time, it's twice cheaper but Legacy worth the extra cost. Legacy offer better alphas spots and better alpha system in general, you can make either a thicc or thin shape when Maitreya force you to keep a thin one otherwise you'll notice issues on the body (triangle hips, your legs being "cut" on the upper thighs when you sit, etc...), globally more detailed, shoulders less... shouldery ? You can also resize your feet, something which is not possible with Maitreya otherwise it won't fit your shoes anymore (so you're stuck with a predefined feet size) and have to make your shape accordingly to them not look weird (some platfoms heels look just hilariously enormous on Maitreya). 

    A lot of people here seem to have a competition on who wear the less polygon or complexity which is to me a clique stuff nobody care much about outside of the forums, especially since it isn't really relevant. I could find that funny but not much when it lead them to recommend something sort of outdated to someone who's already on a budget. Most people with a very detailled avatar I see and into fashion upgraded to Legacy and those who did not are staying on Maitreya because they have too much clothes they like who haven't been rigged for Legacy when they has been released.

    That said, you of course can still make a great look with Maitreya but I'd really recommend you to try the Legacy body too before making a decision, especially the Perky version. You can send me a text inworld if you want more informations as I have the two bodies ♥

    Maitreya is literally the go to body to any and all new and returning female avis. It’s the most recommended even on these forums. I never see anyone mention Ruth or Classic Mesh. Ever. It’s always Maitreya. Its as if Legacy, Kupra, Belleza and all the other 30 female mesh bodies don’t exist. 
    It’s been around since forever and has the most clothes. So yes, it’s become the default starter mesh body. Everybody and their grandma has maitreya.

    I never liked it. It’s not made for curvy. It’s for thinner avis. And the shoulders are a mess. So yes, there are definitely upgrades. 

    I agree with Chris. I only recommend Maitreya for the Petite add-on version if you plan to have a shape with really small boobs. Otherwise I'd recommend Legacy Perky for a "classic" shape and Legacy Classic/Feminine for a shape with big boobs. Kupra is also a good body if you want a very thicc shape but it's more a fetish body than anything. I think you should try them before making a purchase.

    Since you found it amusing @xoClarisse, here are the numbers that matter.

     

    I do indeed. Outside of this forum clique nobody care about polygons or complexity, they wear clothes and accessories they love and they rarely exceed 100-150k complexity anyway. Most people set 350.000 as complexity limit to avoid griefers and that's it. People aren't responsible of you using a computer from the last decade who can't run SL decently and surely do not have to spoil their fun for you. I never heard anyone complaint about Freya's lags outside of here, nor even Legacy. If you want to have a pointless contest on who will have the lowest complexity/polygons counts between you that's good for you, but when a newcomer is looking for a new body I prefer to give tell them the best looking one with the best features and not an outdated one. I'll be more mature than you and just agree to disagree and not waste more time arguing with you.

    Could you please elaborate on what, exactly, didn't "work well" on the HDPRO head(s) that you demo'd?

    If you have come across a specific bug or issue (unlikely, given all of the testing that we did, but we couldn't possibly test it against every single body, for example) then that's something I can feed back to Catwa for a possible bugfix.

    If, however, it was just a matter of your personal preference, then that has nothing do with the head "not working" and everything to do with it not being the head you preferred.

    To clarify I didn't wanted to say that the head wasn't working in itself. I was speaking of the sales/number of people wearing it. I've never seen someone wearing these new HDPRO heads even since they gave one for free. Every Catwa head I see is the Catya one and that's it. All new heads makeup at recent events are made/optimized for LeLutka Evo (X).

       Maitreya vs. Legacy.

       Okay. 

       Which body is the more resource intensive to render (i.e. 'laggy')? Legacy.

       Which body requires you to use media to interact with the HUD? Legacy.

       Which body requires its HUD to interact via their internal servers so that in the event of them having issues, your body's HUD stops working? Legacy.

       Which body is made by a creator whose business practices have been the root of much outrage due to its dodginess? Legacy. 

       Which body requires you to buy a whole new body if you want a different type of bosom or base shape rather than using addons, at full the full price of a different body? Legacy.

       The list goes on, but I think we have a pretty clear winner to be honest. Legacy - probably the worst body on the grid, next to the creator's previous body, TMP. 

    Which body is the more resource intensive to render (i.e. 'laggy')? Legacy.

    -> People doesn't have to limit themselves because of your computer from the last decade.

    Which body requires you to use media to interact with the HUD? Legacy.

    -> Only when you change body skin color (which nobody does since everyone use a separate skin BOM ?)  or nails color. I don't see in what it cause an issue though.

    Which body requires its HUD to interact via their internal servers so that in the event of them having issues, your body's HUD stops working? Legacy.

    -> "if" "if", never had issues so far, but yes in theory it is true.

    Which body is made by a creator whose business practices have been the root of much outrage due to its dodginess? Legacy. 

    -> I can understand if you bought the classic TMP body, what they did is indeed not something to do. Though the author didn't bought it at that time. The "new" Legacy body is out since what 2 years now ? And no similar issues so far, it would be highly surprising if they do it twice. 

    Which body requires you to buy a whole new body if you want a different type of bosom or base shape rather than using addons, at full the full price of a different body? Legacy.

    True, but they also OFFER the petite version in the Perky body, when you have to buy it for Maitreya.

    -----------------------------------

    I also can make a list.

    Which body doesn't let you play with the sliders to your taste without having annoying issues ? (shoulders glitches, thighs getting "cut" while sitting, "triangle hips" with a lot of clothes if you dare putting a bit of meat on your legs.) Maitreya.

    Which body doesn't offer good body details compared to Legacy ? Maitreya.

    Which body doesn't have it feet resizable ? Maitreya. (Well they do, but if you do they won't fit your shoes anymore lol. So basically, if you want to keep realistic body proportions you will have to make your size according to the feet you can't resize.) 

    Which body doesn't make a difference between auto-alphas from clothes and manual alphas ? Causing issues when using saved outfits while switching body copies (Because yes, feet and hands aren't separate either.) Maitreya.

    Which body offer the less alpha spots on it hud ? Maitreya. 

    And seeing platforms heels on Maitreya is hilarious, they look SO big compared to the legs or even to the whole body, since the feet can't be resized.

    I don't understand why you would say Maitreya is outdated, it is well supported by the creator with updates including addons and it doesn't lack for any features that I am aware of. And it has a number of advantages over Legacy besides the price, like lower complexity, lower lag and no need to rely on media in order to use the HUD. I bought Legacy when it was half price and I love how it looks, but I don't see any advantage other than aesthetics. When I wear my Legacy body, my avatar complexity is so high I have to be really careful what else I wear with it or I will end up a jelly doll to everyone around me, and that just isn't acceptable.

    Because it is. 

    As for Legacy I just checked and itself it is 14.044 complexity. With most of my outfits I am under 100k complexity, even 75k and I'm wearing more than 20 attachements. Maybe you should buy your clothes and accessories at different places if they make your complexity raise as much as you say. Also, if someone have their complexity limit set below 100k or even 75k, trust me, you're not the problem. 

    ---------------------------

    That said, you're welcome to send me an IM SyndraJade, I have both bodies so I can show them to you and show you these points I listed upper. I'd also recommend you to try demos first, even make/find a shape and a skin you like before buying any body of your choice to be sure of your choice. I hope you'll find something who suit your needs !

  11. Hello, I'm a bit surprised by what has been said before, I would recommend a Legacy body (Either Classic or Perky depending to your taste but Classic have much more support so far) and not a Maitreya body. Maitreya has been one of the first decent mesh body on SL so a lot people bought it which explain why it is still the most supported body, and if a lot of people still use Maitreya nowadays it is because they own a lot of clothes for it and don't want to lose them since some are not Legacy compatible. 

    Since you don't own either so far I would recommend Legacy, in my opinion the body is better in every point than Maitreya (except for appliers), I used Maitreya around a year by now and then switched to Legacy months ago and I do not regret it. Now almost every active store rig clothes for Legacy (a bit less for Perky, but some does) The only reason I see to buy an outdated body like Maitreya is saving a bit of L$ since Maitreya is 2.750L$ and Legacy 5.000L$ but if you love dressing up or do shopping you will quickly feel limited with Maitreya (not by the clothing choice, but about what you can do with your body) so... it worth the 2.250L$ more  for Legacy. 

    As for the head it's pretty simple, LeLutka have the market by now. Catwa was the way to go in the past, everyone recommended me either a Catwa and some a Genus when I started. Genus slowly took a bigger part on the head market and got taken down by a DMCA, they came back but LeLutka released they Evo head line and they moved on first place. At that time Catwa already was considered as kinda dead, their Pro head didn't worked well and was super expensive. People were either wearing Genus or LeLutka Evo. Now LeLutka released their Evo X head line and Legacy is speaking of a "Legacy X thing" which I guess is supposed to work with. In my opinion buying a Catwa head is throwing money down the drain.

    All that to say that the way to go now is LeLutka Evo X and Legacy body. 

    Kupra is also a good body if you want a very curvy shape and maybe more for a bimbo look (and if you can avoid looking at the feet lol) and more and more creators start to do for it too.

    Then maybe you should try that now.  

    open the Nvidia Control Panel, select Manage 3D settings, click Restore, then click Apply.

    I already did, it didn't changed anything.

    I think I found the solution though. I activated the image smoothering in the Nvidia panel and it look way better now, removing this file probably turned it off or something, I don't know. 

  13. 1 minute ago, Rowan Amore said:

    Did you try the restore option first before the more drastic deletion?

    If you see either NO DC or YES DC in the upper left forner, that is an indicator from your Nvidia software, To remove it, open the Nvidia Control Panel, select Manage 3D settings, click Restore, then click Apply.

    A more drastic measure is to find a file called nvdrssel.bin in C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\Drs and delete it.

    No I didn't. When I reinstalled my drivers the "nvdrssel.bin" was back but my viewer was still blurry. I don't get why and it's very annoying.

    This is currently not possible, chat bubbles are hard coded to be 24 seconds. However, you are more than welcome to request this feature at: https://jira.firestormviewer.org/

    This might be possible. See the Chat > Visuals > "Show typing indicator in nametag above avatar". This may achieve the effect you desire. If not, please do feel free to submit a feature request at: https://jira.firestormviewer.org/

    Unfortunately there is no way to distinguish between a gesture and regular chat, as chat from gestures is sent using the same message info as chat as if a resident has typed it out. You'll have to go to Linden Lab with this feature request: https://jira.secondlife.com/

    Yes, but this would require modifications to the XUI, and I don't think we support modified XUI elements in support, and if done incorrectly, can make the viewer crash because of parsing errors. Again, you are more than welcome to request this feature at https://jira.firestormviewer.org/

    I'd recommend using the chat bar as command line feature which allows you to type out the desired draw distance(EG: dd 128, dd 64, dd 1024, etc): https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/video_cmdline
    Or by using the quick preferences: https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_quick_preferences

    Thank you. The draw distance setting with the nearby chat is awesome ! And the typing indicator is what I wanted !

  15. Hello, I have few questions :

    - Is there a way to change the timer of the avatar's chat bubbles appearance ?
    - Is there a way to make people's name blink or briefly appear when they send a message in local without having to use the bubble text chat ?
    - Is there a way to remove gesture text in local ?
    - Is there a way to add the draw distance bar on the topbar on the classic Firestorm theme ?

    Thank you ! ♥

    So I had this issue years ago when I bought a vista walk separately because I have always made my own ao.  You  walk and when you stop moving the animation continues to play for several seconds before ending. Basically the priority on the walk was too high. Contact Vista, they should be able to get you straightened out.

    Good idea, thank you. I will try :)
