    I wish you'd all turn off the baby screams that always seem to accompany the spamming in Nearby at the clubs.

    If I hear one more Alvin the Chipmunk voice loudly proclaiming "Weee-hhheeeee-heeee-weeee!" when this appears in Nearby (っ˘з (˘⌣˘⊂) OMG I LOVE this tune!!!~╰ (*´︶`*)╯I swear I will kick your avatar into last week's music set.

    If you have/can buy a modifiable modifiable motorcycle, simply rip out the scripts and animations, attach the bike to avatar_center, play the riding animation in-world and adjust the position of the bike to fit, maybe moving your hover height around a bit.

    Or use something like this wiki script to play the animation automatically:

     

    Thanks, but I already tried this in combination with a scripted object that makes you run faster. It wasn't as easy to use as the Teegle horse and looked really stiff since for the example the wheels weren't turning anymore. It needed text commands to adjust the speeds and sometimes it shot me across the whole sim in a second or didn't work at all. I'm not able to script anything beyond a few very basic things.

    What Next sells a wearable moped/scooter it includes a good range to texture/colour options

    Thanks. I'll grab a demo as soon as I'm home!

  3. Scripting, RP, how to find people who don't end up wasting my time by suddenly revealing(after days, weeks even months!) that all they ever wanted from me was SLex and get aggressive when I turn them down, how to find active groups of people with the same interests who are also welcoming to strangers, how to find the stuff I'm looking for on marketplace instead of hundreds of items that don't fit the search terms at all... Why TF is setting Sun/Moon position in EEP so complicated.
    Now that I think about it, I could as well just build/decorate in Sims and roam around in games like Red Dead Redemption, Kingdom Come, GTA and so on and add some free cosmetic mods.

    Those new AO's where the person is mostly frozen in place, what is the deal with that?

     

    They are the slightly better option to those jumping around, walking around, checking for poo on your shoe, bend over, grab your boobs, fidgety repetitive movement AOs.

    I once came across a 2d kitten that had a face that followed the camera from every angle. I do not know what witchcraft is this.

    It's probably just a particle effect.

  4. That brings back horrible memories. My grandma used to make a sweet variant with cinnamon and always forced me to eat up. 🤢
    We have a similar sausage. If we don't put the sausage on bread we cut it into about 1cm slices and fry it in a pan, but it's usually served with ketchup and bread or mashed potatoes as a side dish. It might actually go well with your pasta recipe or do you just leave the sausage as it is?

    Bit surprised people think it's a US-only thing, TBH. I live in the UK and me and my friends have always celebrated it. 

    Will be interesting to see how Guy Fawkes Night goes this year, if anyone's allowed...

     

    Maybe it's a little different in the UK compared to the rest of europe? The only kind of Halloween celebration I know are Halloween themed movie nights on the 31th, maybe one or two children who got inspired by american movies are knocking on your door and beg for candy and some Halloween themed parties in clubs. Stores sell spooky candy and decoration, but I rarely see people decorating thier homes for Halloween. It's not such a big deal. We have a similar fall season and thanksgiving tradition to pumkin carving in my area but that predates the existence of the US. On the 31th people are usually celebrating reformation day or are busy tending the graves for all hallows day.

    Not short on ideas for songs for Halloween as got playlist called Halloween on mp3 player! :D So here's hoping someone can find stream @xSkadiso fingers crossed.

    I found this stream, but they play some ads* and the genres are a little randomly put together. https://halloween-hit-radio.stream.laut.fm/halloween-hit-radio?ref=radiode&t302=2020-09-18_00-55-08&uuid=b61df038-dcf7-4c3c-bfd0-1fb8eb49b47c

    *Seems like there is only an ad when you start the stream.

    The last songs they played:
    Lou Reed - Halloween Parade
    The Creepshow - Creatures of the Night
    The Rolling Stones - Living In A Ghost Town
    Aqua - Halloween
    Stellar Corpses - Welcome to the Nightmare
    Count Ridicula - The Vampire's Lament (I Like To Suck On Your Neck, Baby)
    Icky Ichabod - Witches Cauldron
    Rezurex - Nightmares

    Hi all, 

    I have rather strange case. I found a shop where there are some very nice clothes: leather, latex - that kind. On screenshots clothes look nice, but I tried demo and they look terrible. It seems there is no specular or glossiness at all. I do not think there are even normal maps. I am just curious. Of course it is possible demo clothes are such ugly and full versions look nice, but I highly doubt - why then distribute demo - to make potential customer puke? Or may be they only look nice in some viewers? I am using latest firestorm and in it clothes look like pieces of... you know what I mean.  

    Anybody experienced such thing before?

    Some shops only put a white texture with demo signs on thier demos and some don't put textures on demos at all. Look if they have free group gifts to see what thier textures look like or contact the owner. If there are no gifts and the owner doesn't reply don't buy.

  8. 7 deadly s[k]ins sometimes include one of thier lightest tones(cloud, powder and snow) in a free pack and they usually offer at least thier third tone snow on thier weekly sale for less than 100L$. The group is occasionally free to join.

    This is their powder tone tinted to be slightly lighter and a little less yellowish with a 15% tinting layer. Apart from cropping the picture is unedited. Tinting layers in general are a must have for pale skins in my experience, so in case you find an almost perfect skin elsewhere try tinkering with those.

    I can reproduce this & can see why it's happening.

    • Developer -> Avatar -> Show animation info, will show which animations are playing on your avatar & the number at the end is the animation priority.
    • If you are using no AO & sit on a default cube, you can see the default sit animation is played, which has priority 4 (sit_female - 4)
    •  

     

    • Then while still sitting, play the Female_Sit animation (that came in the Bitsy AO) from inventory.  Notice Female_Sit is only priority 3.
      Both sit animations are playing & they don't play nicely together & you'll see a semi-broken sit animation that's a mix of both sit animations .
    •  

     

    • Sitting while using the Bitsy Female_Sit animation in the FS AO shows both the default P4 sit & the Bitsy P3 sit playing at the same time & the animation looks like the same as above (with the head down when it shouldn't be etc) but the legs are also spread.

    Thank you!

    It sounds like this animation has a low priority and does not get to play.

    There is another AO or something replaced the default sit.

    To test things:
    Try a sitting animation with a high priority
    Get nude (everything) and relog, then try again

    As I said in my opening post, I already tried all of that and there is no animation in a new prim cube rezzed with the building tool that could override the sitting animation. I even made a new avatar and logged in with my brothers computer who never had anything related to SL installed on his machine a few days ago.
    Is it possible that Linden Lab could do something to prevent people from using thier animations for costum AOs? Can someone please pull the sitting animation out of the female starter AO and see if that happens to them aswell when they put it into the Firestorm build in AO?

    I'm inclined to blame the "Smart-Modus" in the Firestorm AO. Gibt's dasselbe Ergebnis ohne das Häkchen bei der Option?

    Unchecking Smart-Modus doesn't make a difference. My avatar is sitting on a plain textured prim cube in the pictures, so there aren't any animations that could conflict with my AO to begin with. Same issue appears when I rezz a prim cube. And I just found out that it doesn't even work when I put this animation into an Oracul AO. O.o

  12. Hi! I hope this is the correct subforum.
    I want to use the female sitting animation from the starter avatars with the build in Firestorm AO, but everytime I sit down my avatar bends forward, spreads it's legs and it's hands dive into the legs. Does anybody know what might cause this issue and how to prevent it? I have no problems with other sitting animations, taking everything off doesn't change anyting, uncheking Smart-Modus doesn't work either but using the starter avatars AO and running the animation on it's own works fine.

     

    Left picture is how it looks like using Firestroms AO and the right picture is how it's supposed to look like

    I gave up on all the human mesh stuff for now.  When I started to transition to human mesh from the classic human avatar, I bought two heads that were a disaster.  I bought a Genesis head first thinking (assuming) that Genesis heads would have skins made by lots of other creators but they don't.  The Genesis skins have a bright face, a darker body and an even darker neck.  Though if Genesis could redo their skins to have appropriate shading, I think they could have a good product.  

    Next, I bought CATWA Strawberry head assuming it was a full modify item like the Maitreya Lara body I had already begun to work with.  The mesh heads are more or less partial modify.  It is difficult to get a variety of looks from Catwa Strawberry due to the jawline where the teeth sit and other issues.

    So, when I go to mesh heads again (maybe some time this year) I will be buying CATWA Catya and Genus Classic heads as both of these heads seem to offer a wide variety of shaping.  

    What I did NOT like about Lara is it has odd shoulders and everything else is pretty good as far as I am concerned.  The shoulders on Maitreya Lara are cut too high and in sleeveless clothes can look a bit odd.  However, when I demoed Legacy, it has the same shoulder problem as Lara - shoulders are cut too high.

    The only differences are - 1) Personal preference   2)  Price   3)  Triangle count.  Maitreya Lara body with hands and feet is about 150K triangles; Legacy mesh body is about 750K triangles so go shopping in the Legacy body DEMO to make sure it doesn't lag your computer out.  And remember, at 750K triangles for a body, people may just jelly doll you out and you won't be seen.  Something to consider.  But, I'd wear the Legacy demo around the grid to see how your computer performs.  

    Yeah it's so frustrating. I wish Linden Lab would finally update the true legacy body and do something against items that are almost solid in wireframe.

    The best I can do as a human avatar is 300-500k in total.

    It does NOT use the same UV-map as human bodies do, you need skins for it, it does include a PSD link to make them - but I've only seen one human skin out for it so far and that one is of a '2003 era quality level'...

    - still the demo might interest you anyway just for 'intellectual curiosity.

    Thank you. Aww man... I was hoping to use BOM skins.

    No. It's a furry body only.

    This is what furry users get - better products.

    Their stuff is almost always copy/mod, and includes things like UV maps, download PSD files, and sometimes even the rigging files for clothing makers without having to apply.

    At the same time it often animates equally well or better (less 'stretching of extra parts when physics moves, etc)...

    And it is nearly always massively lower on lag.

     

    My guess is part of this is tradition (the first modable body kits in SL back in 2003 were from the furry community), and part of it is because furry users are often gamers - so they think about performance and optimization because most of them have been the geeks testing new games and writing devs about stuff being low FPS on that last boss fight and getting techno-garbled excuses back - since they were 11... 🙂

     

    If there is a mod kit for human feet, I've not found it.

     

    I noted it here for 2 reasons:

    1. I'm in the mood these days where I'm calling out how bad ALL of the human bodies are - even the one I love and use myself.
    2. I wanted to note that, well, even if your customers aren't using Legacy itself, a few might still want legacy clothing. That said the Regalia body ALSO fits Freya, Maitreya, and HG-Slink as WELL as Legacy... (For 1500L you actually get almost a dozen bodies, because it also includes a pile of male bodies).

    Yes I know they're mod friendly and care more about the tech side. I sometimes wear avatars like the chibi noodle dragon. But human/animal hybrids aren't for me, so I never looked into them. Well, it's bummer with the feet, but I wear boots most of the time so I would like to give that body a try. Can you provide me with an LM or Marketplace link?

    Well I just found ONE use for Legacy fitted clothes...

    Apparently the newest update to Regalia mesh body adds a copy of this new super-low-lag body that is rigged to be able to wear things made for Legacy:

    ...

    Does this body come with human feet? I also can't find the store. LM?
