I've had that with the lower half of my avi too. My trousers are always grey! I've tried different clothes, and even resetting to the default avatar to start over, but it seems to be a persistent problem. I've tried on Firestorm and Singularity and it's the same. When I go into edit appearance/clothes, I can see the textures appear, but as soon as I leave it they go grey again... lol I just want to see my lower body!

New builds too? Yeesh... what a mess.

It's all to do with personal preference, this one... heheh I run a store that does all sorts of stuff, but it's most popular for the animations. I always advise on MP posts that customers should consider dropping by the store in-world to try the animations on their own avatar on vendors - otherwise it's hard to know they work for you, especially with a huge variety of avi sizes. I do video some to add a link to a MP listing, but that's mainly for group dances, so they can be seen fully in action. I see the point about trying to boost ratings and all, but honestly, people rarely actually do review items. If they do, I get all over-excited and IM them in world to thank them... haha But moreover, I like my shop - lol - I like to build, and it's nice to have people drop by and see the place. It kind of doubles up as a Medieval style village and woodland. And there is much more there than on the MP (tbh, I could never face going through every single animation and listing them all!) and it's a more personal shopping experience. As a merchant, it's nice to see customers browsing, maybe have a chat and a laugh. It can be a pain to some, waiting for a store to rez, this is true - people do like things to be instant. I've never set out to try to gain huge popularity, but I have a nice niche of followers, which is all I want. It's for the merchant, if they're really wanting to promote themselves and gain a huge customer base to embrace in-world and MP business alike - as neither are going away anytime soon, regardless of complaints. A canny merchant should try to figure out how best to use both to their advantage, I suppose...

Oh actually, should mention too that Firestorm (my usual viewer choice) won't let me on at the moment - lasts a few seconds then crashes. I filed a report for that. Been using singularity, but I'll try the LL viewer and see what happens. Strange though that the effects on my inv are also affecting customers' purchases, makes me think it's not just the viewer...

Thanks for the responses - glad it's not just me! I do hope it's some anomaly that'll be fixed and fix the things affected... I really don't fancy going through all stuff on sale,as I'm sure others don't either! The texture thing is worrying... ugh

Hi, Having some downright weirdness going on with some of my older builds - it started with a customer pointing out an issue with perms on a building, which has been sold copy/mod for years. Took it from my inv to check and it came up as copy/mod for me, but also the trans box was checked on and greyed out. To the customer, it wasn't copying at all. Sorted out that one, then I had another customer report a missing piece from a game I sell - and then the next day another who purchased the same game told me the piece (which was missing to the other) was rezzing but then vanishing after a few seconds. That particular piece is physical, not sure if that was making it behave strangely. So I reboxed and resent that, and exchanged it on the marketplace and in vendors... and then noticed that another item (an older build) that I had out as a demo piece at my store had an odd texture... upon investigation, the texture has changed to something completely different in my inv... yeesh. Luckily, it was a texture I'd made, so I reuploaded, fixed it on the build, reboxed etc. but I have no idea if this has happened to a lot of other builds or not. So far it seems to be just older products that are going... weird. Has anybody else encountered such oddities lately? The only thing I can think is that it's come with all the changes to SL recently, and the older builds just can't cope? lol As always, I've had a look around on the forum but I can't see this issue addressed anywhere... any help/advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Swith ;)

Hi... you are right - if you loop it in the upload window and set the loop start and end to 100%, that'll just have it stop static on the last frame. But set to 100 rather than 99 or you might get a kick as it jumps from one frame to another. Hope that helps!

From the overwhelming silence, I'm guessing we're all stumped on that one! *chuckles*

Hi folks, Looking for some advice, as I am a bit of a scripting dunce. I'm making a vehicle in which the avatars walk... for which I'm using a vehicle script and npose. I followed some in-world advice about how to set the animations to trigger to walk and stop, which is working out great. However, I'd heard at some point that you can also set animations for left/right turn to trigger for driver and slaves, using the key words 'left' 'right' in the notecard titles and animations. I can't for the life of me get this to work though! If anybody has done similar, or just generally knows how that would work, your advice would be greatly appreciated :) (Or indeed, let me know if I've completely misheard and this isn't doable.. lol) Swith ;)

And thanks mtwtfss71 too

Thanks for the advice Paladin

Hi, wondering if I might get some help... On the wiki concerning ANS for DD, it says there are some 3rd parties that offer ANS processing services. I've tried searching for these, but can't seem to find anything... could anybody advise about these? I do have a domain myself for my RL work, but am useless when it comes to website design (probably need to pull my finger out and get my head around it some day.. lol). As far as I understand, you have to add the bit of code at the bottom of the page to the html for the website? http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Direct_Delivery_and_Automatic_Notification_System Thanks, Swith

Thanks for clarifying, gentlemen

Thanks Marcus!

Thank you

Many apologies if this has already been answered somewhere - I had a look through other topics and DD info but couldn't find an answer. (Granted, I was skimming.. lol) If we just take boxed items out of the magic box and put them directly into the merchant dropbox without changing the name of the object or anything, will it automatically be matched to the original listing, or do we have to create a new one? Also... do we lose all the reviews of items in that case? Since the transfer from xstreets, fewer people bother to review, so it'd be nice to keep those that are there! Thanks, Swith ;)

So... just to get this absolutely straight in my own mind... lol If, as a merchant, you're selling your items which you've made yourself and therefore have full permission rights on them, you can go ahead and put them on the marketplace via DD, even if they're set to no copy for the buyer. BUT - if you are selling something which you yourself haven't made and do not have copy rights on it personally... then you can't put it on the marketplace via DD currently. Is that right? Only just woke up and started to get my head around this one.. heheh

Thanks for responding Rolig - I fear you're right about some changes to server code messing things up for physics - have tried the die on some other sims and it's still sliding and not rolling... gah. I have a sculpted die that rolls alright, but I never liked that as it lands on its edges! Guess that's an item I'll have to take off the marketplace if it isn't functioning properly any more.

I made a dice table a long while ago which worked perfectly - the dice behaved as they should, rolling when you push them. Now I've looked again after a few months, they just slide across the table without rolling. I've tried resizing them, but no joy. They are just a basic cube prim. Any suggestions, I'd be grateful. Swith ;)
