    Is there a way to carry a music stream around with you, Walkman-stylee? I've figured how to set the audio stream for my Linden home but WLT be able to have my own music while I go shopping travel to important business meetings...

    All modern mesh clothing is rigged.

    This prevents the scale and position etc being modified.

    If you want boots over pants, the creator has to explicitly make boots to go over your pants, for the pants you have, on the body you have.

    It sucks. This is also why you have to be careful when shopping to make sure the items you're buying are even compatible with the body (etc) you have.

    Just for my education.... is it technically possible for a designer to make an alpha hud specifically for a piece of clothing? Not to hide the whole thing in one click, but with selectable areas, like for bodies? I mean I get that's probably way too much work for each and every piece of clothing, just wondered if it was technically feasible?

    What's really starting to yank my chain is why stretch isn't automatically enabled for EVERYTHING in the edit menu. Why aren't ALL clothes resizeable FGS? Reams and reams of different versions for each body.... why?? All those gorgeous boots that just won't fit over jeans, or jackets that can't be worn, becuz bleed-thru.

    Just WHY???? Is it more work for the designer to enable it or something? Some technical reason?

    I thought it was just me and the Raven head! I can't seem to get a facial shape I like with it, no matter the skin. Still tweaking it tho.

    I'm having the exact same issues with Raven, I thought it was just down to my inexperience. I just *cannot* get her looking reasonably natural.

    Genus and Catwa and some others don't use Evo X (I think they're on SLUV). Other head creators have gotten authorization from Lelutka to use their Evo X map, so that's why only some are making the switch over. Akeruka, BeSpoke, Lel of course, LOGO (for two of their heads), and apparently GA:EG are using Evo X.

    For Genus, you'll need to use older skins for now. Nobody's sure what their updated and new line will be using, but for the current moment, you can run to Pumec and slap their group gift wall (group is still free to join through tomorrow) and there are a few Genus skins in there.

    Ooooh, there's some motivation right there to put some work into Akeruka. Problem is, I've got the Genus looking absolutely where I want it.... *sigh here we go again!

    Hey girrrrrrrrl! Morning!

    And yup, Evo X is the UV mapping of the head. So with a head that's using it, you can go out and buy Evo X skins, makeup, tattoos, etc. and have them work on it.

    Right! So that's why I can't use ExoX stuff on my Genus Free head!! Do other actual head manufacturers use the EvoX map too? Akeruka for eg?

    Yup! For me, it's Lel, Akeruka, and BeSpoke. I didn't know GA:EG updated theirs, and I did demo LOGO's, but I wasn't feeling em.

    Just for my education - is EvoX the UV map itself? When they say 'EvoX enabled' is that what they mean?

    Mornin', btw. *waves

    I don't think this is the place, but the things in the sim looks like they were picked up at The Far Away, which was created by AM Radio..

    Last time i was there, you could actually get all the stuff to make your own scenes like the picture you have there.. There were like four scenes before, I think  it only has the one now  but I can't remember if I could get to all of them the last time.

    This is the slurl to  The Far Away. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dreamworld North/220/130/22

    Is there *anything* about SL you don't know, Ceka?! Honestly, you're a walking SL Wikipedia!

    Appearance Editor API?

    in LSL Scripting

    Thanks for responding :)

    So how do people do it then? I mean, I see lots of just heads for sale with different faces? Or are they just meshes cunningly designed to look ok on the default base avatar settings?

    Appearance Editor API?

    in LSL Scripting

    Correct tag typo

    I'm new to Second Life and am finding I'm actually not bad at creating good face shapes. I would like to sell these face shapes, customised for different heads. I'm a reasonably competent coder and LSL looks accessible.
     
    My immediate thought is to distribute face shape scripts which automatically update the required Appearance Editor slider values. However, I cannot find an API for the Appearance Editor, not in the standard API docs nor in the RLV. Maybe there isn't one.
     
    So, option two is to save out a shape object and distribute that.
     
    Two problems with this:
    First, if I create my shape on, say, a Genus head, the original creator remains Genus and the properties are locked. I could maybe get round this by creating my face, noting the slider numbers, manually applying them to a default avatar, then saving that out as the shape object.
     
    Which leads to the second problem: I only want to change the shape of the face, but the shape object contains dimensions for the whole body. I can't script something that reads the end-user's existing rest-of-body dimensions at runtime because.... there's no Appearance Editor API.
     
    But people do sell face shapes. How are they doing it? 
    TIA
