Horus Salubrius

Dumb question time: So I am going to make a hard copy of all the bits which make up Baseline Horus & put them in another folder. However I can't copy items that are currently added and/or being worn, meaning I am going to have to detach all in order to do so - correct ? /me shudders ... In theory I should only have to put that Baseline outfit back on & all we be good again, but this is still giving me the heebie-jeebies !! An aside, it seems that the Legacy HUD will not work fully in Firestorm - anyone else notice this ?

This is a very nice pic.

Now where am I ? I have no idea ... nice place mind

Oh I understand, but there is always a way back, so try not to fret too much. Good luck !

A little Mozart ? I would have been wearing a tux had I known, but I just stumbled into this unoccupied house & saw the piano.

@AmberWildcool I have stumbled across this thread now & it is very helpful. I was having a horrible time trying to understand how these new avis work & was very close to giving up. It was frustrating & I was horrified at the monstrosities I was making & losing confidence in my ability to come to grips with it all !! With help from the folk here I now have an avi I like & am gaining the confidence to experiment more. Indeed, I was going to come back & ask more questions but some of them have been answered in this thread & now crystallised for me that I am on the right track - so thanks for that. 🙂

Yep, that makes perfect sense to me now.

💡 Ah ! I have adjusted hover height & it's fine, then tp somewhere & see that my feet are sinking again. This seems to be in standing position (ie. walking & they are fine again). tbh I'm not that fussed about it, then again I'm not wearing high heels !

I think I should have been a woman in SL - more hair options !

That was the very first question I asked when I logged in - how to get rid of the group name. lol - confused indeed. I came across the bit about having a display name, still don't see the need, just confusing to others, but whatevs.

People in this forum have been very helpful & got me through the confusing process of creating a nice looking avi. Keep asking & good luck ! .. (& prepare yourself for the freak show ...)

THIS ! Having just spent days struggling to grasp this stuff & not look like a freak show, I can see why people would just give up - it is very confusing & unnecessarily complicated IMHO. I spent quite a lot of time in SL a decade ago so thought it would be a breeze .. ha ! was I wrong on that. I still don't "get it" yet, but at least I have an avi I like.

Yeah, what is that all about ? I would rather not have any group name above mine never mind some rune script, or some such poop.

Oh I know that feeling. I've been spending days trying to figure out how these avis work, now I've got mine sorted I don't want to change anything either - though clothes are easy. We'll get there ....

Noisy neighbours ...

Ok ! Horus is sorted - once again thanks to the people in this forum who have generously given me their time & patience. 💗 & 🕊️ I just gotta find some chest hair & get the outfits all set up, having dug some body hair out of my inventory I realised that that was a big bork too & I was able to get back to base without freaking out. 😳 I think one of those swirling pennies in my empty head may have dropped, this is starting to make some sense. (famous last words ....) Hopefully one day I will be able to pay that kindness & patience forward. This is what I had some help in doing & that got rid of the neck line.

It is a Body Applier that says compatible with BoM, but I have a feeling I am missing something here ... ? Perhaps I should look for matching BoM skins for head & body.

That icon does indeed mean SKIN, which is what I think you suspected. I thought that could be the problem so I swapped it out for an old SL skin thinking the alpha would cover up the old skin anyway, but it did manage to change my hands so I put that Russel body applier skin back. hmm... meaning I need to find a BoM skin, maybe I had started out with an applier body ?? lol - omg ... I think you, and a few others, may have said that already. I can't seem to find a BoM skin at that shop for Russel or maybe I just don't know what the heck I'm looking for exactly ! or .. stupid me, maybe it should have been Applier Body/Eyes, BoM Head all along. I'm gonna try that alpha now ...

I believe this is what you are talking about ? And yes, I had all the shine & gloss way down, I don't like it at all. The shine you are seeing is a light in the skybox, helps me to get dressed !

Well the SL head doesn't remove the visible neck line & I have done the BoM thing in the HUD many times, especially after each change. I also changed the Legacy Body Applier for an old system skin & that didn't work, tho it did change the skin on the hands. And I have changed the alphas a few time, the best result is with BoM Body/Head, Applier Eyes, I had thought maybe it should be Applier Head but that ended up in weirdness. I am stumped. There is a notecard saying to ask for help regarding neckline so perhaps I will go & bother those people now !

lol - I was just saying last night that if I can't get this to work I'll be some effed up alien with 4 arms & then borked will be on purpose. Thank you. I have had plenty of help from you good people in this forum, for which I am most grateful. 🥂 for everyone ! I thought I had tried the SL head with no luck, but I see that this outfit is not wearing it, so will give that a go. Once I get this combo fully back, he's almost there - just the neck line to sort - I'm gonna make myself an alt, get all the demos & then just go to town without fear of screwing Horus up.

The skins come from Not Found - I think I am wearing matching head & body skins, but perhaps I am overlooking something - here is my worn list pertaining to skins

Ok, so I have un-borked myself, I think I finally got the right alpha (BoM head & body, applier eyes) & the alpha applier thing is working. Now if I could just get rid of this line of my neck ! The neck fader on the Legacy HUD is not doing the trick. If I apply the Skyler SL head I end up back with a grey mask, this time on parts of my face - meaning I go back to BoM Body & Applier Head ?? or look for the proper head skin as per @Skell Dagger said ? imma try both next & prolly end up borking myself all over again lol - doing my head in aw right ...🤪 but I think it is starting to make some sense

I kinda knew I was messing up with applied & BoM but am still getting my head around that, I was logging out for the night but am gonna jump back quickly in & see if I can get that to work. Thanks.

@TDD123 - are you making the back drops too ? very nice
