Which is the most comfortable animation package?
Claireschen Hesten replied to Crias Rowlands's topic in Animation Forum
i tried Qavimator the layout is user friendly but the frames and what have you for the length of the animation confused me now i use an inworld tool called animare it's a hud and poseball system you don't quite get the accuracy that you do with Qavimator but it suits me i can use the poseball around my furniture and make poses to fit, the only problem i had was not knowing the empty bvh file (provided on the tool's help site) where the the animation export 'code' goes had to be done in notepad wasn't mentioned on site but i eventually figured it out -
if what has been suggested so far isn't working you might want to try running your viewer in XP sp2 compatibility mode you can do this by right clicking your viewer icon clicking properties then the compatibility tab if that doesn't help you can always turn the compatibility off

How can I get better clothes if im new?
Claireschen Hesten replied to Monecka's topic in Your Avatar
Monecka a great place to look for free clothes is the marketplace you can search for clothes and other avatar apparel you can sort the relevance by price lowest first often designers give away some amazing clothes for nothing or there are people re-selling the same business in a box re-seller clothes that have been on the grid over 3/4years another way to get free clothes especially if you don't know any stores that are offering them is to join a Midnight Mania or Lucky Chair group if you haven't come across midnight mania before it is a board that you 'slap' that has a certain target if the board reaches the desired target by midnight secondlife time you win the prize on offer with lucky chairs you can sit and win a prize if the first letter of your name or an ? (meaning anyone can win) is displayed -
have you thought about using a free inworld sculpting tool to make what you are after a $ or € should be easy to make as a prim linkset which can be converted to as a sculpt map if you ever visit the 3dbuildeasy SculptCrafter sandbox you can try the sculpt crafter demo create what you want out of the tools provided then upload the sculpt map if you can get on the beta grid or your viewer has free temp uploads you can try the sculpt before paying the L$10 upload fee

send a notecard with transaction details to the person you bought from make sure you include the item name, if the merchant is a decent person they will send you a replacement

the ticketing system is so limited these days (but maybe thats for non premium members) you can't request a region restart anymore and the ghost which i think the av may be can't do a ticket to get un-ghosted

The land owner (me... ) dont have any right about to run scripts in his own land? Tks guys 1. the sim owner on a private estate can change the covenant at any time and they don't have to warn you 2. if the estate owner really wants to disable scripts to everyone they can but they should really allow their renters and anyone else in the group for their estate to run scripts 3. getting land from an estate you don't really own the land the estate owner can put restrictions like no pushing or no terraforming that you can't change in the about land section little tip i know works on the mainland and should on a private estate or sim fly up to about 140m your scripts will magically start working

Creating an avatar resembling real life....
Claireschen Hesten replied to RevJeff Wylder's question in Creation
i remember exactly such a thing it was advertised a lot on xstreet but i can't for the life of me remember what it was called i did go to the sim as far as i remember it was either L$3000 or something insanely expensive like L$50,000 to get it done -

How do I remove furniture from my house?
Claireschen Hesten replied to Sarasvati Windstorm's question in Getting Started
if your not using viewer 2 you can right click and select take on the pie menu or instead of take click more then delete this will send your item to trash which you can then purge which is ok for copy items no copy you might want to take -

even though the phantom feature in emerald is very handy something such as multi tools like mysti-tool (even the free version) will have have phantom devices you can rezz and make yourself phantom -
i don't see the problem with shoe sounds i used to wear a device that had the shoe sound on all the time not ideal if your wearing trainers i stopped wearing it and just use the sounds that come inbuilt in to shoes if they have them and make sure the sound is not too loud most of the time i don't even notice it because i don't have sound on but walking all the time with it on could be annoying to people. if there was a more realistic sound that reacted to tarmac gravel grass sand etc and used the appropriate sound i'm sure that would be more acceptable to the whole of SL

i can't log in as im being told, the system is logging me out.
Claireschen Hesten replied to Mike Landar's question in Technical
as hippie said you are ghosted this happens when the system doesn't fully log you out of the region you were in it can be a right pain the best option is to do a support ticket or live chat if you have an alt or a friend that can help you out you can try these to tricks that have helped me 1. pay your ghosted av L$1+ it is believed this can kick you off the server or 2. which i have found workable is to spam your ghosted av till you show offline then you can log in again but do it quick or you might end up back as a ghost and have to spam yourself again if neither of these make a difference sending a support ticket will always get you out of a ghosting situation as a serial ghostee i have noticed someone that gets ghosted a fair bit will get their ghosted presence removed faster than a first time ghost -
What do you do to keep your PC running great?
Claireschen Hesten replied to Faubio Alter's question in Technical
i've never understood the hype over Mac's its getting on 10years since i last ventured near a Mac wasn't a pleasant experience. theres not much i do to keep my xp system running ok regular anti-virus scans the one i use does automatic idle time full system scans and quick scans so i don't have to bother tell it to, daily disk clean to free up some space, weekly spyware clean & Malware clean (malwarebytes anti-malware is good) and occasional disk defrag and back-up to external hdd and/or deletion of un-needed files always do a virus scan on new downloads i've seen some recommendations of comodo all it did was infect my machine witth viruses -
if alternative viewers aren't making a difference (i hear kirsten's viewer is good graphically for poorer systems) and you have say a laptop where changing the graphics card is very difficult unless you are a professional computer repairer stocking up on extra ram is always worth a try it's cheap and easy to get at when you go to install it plus it's always beneficial to have unfortunately loads of people myself included are reporting problems with sl ever since the emergency server updates at the beginning of the month so if sl was working fine for you till then that is a strong cause

Glenn what you might want to try is removing any scripted attachments i've been experiencing a similar problem i saw it as an odd type of lag because my sl experience up till a couple of weeks sl worked perfectly i tried everything that was suggested to me every time i thought i'd found out what the problem was that turned out not to be the problem finally i decided to remove my favorite scripted attachment plus accompanying hud which i believe may be the cause of other un-related usage issues and i noticed a big improvement in the SL service not constantly freezing all the time now and have a large degree of normality back Edit: i did try creating a jira for my issue http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/MISC-3813 that jira site is so difficult to use i don't think i did it right but i was pointed in the direction of this pjira http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3895 which seems more appropriate

SL Viewer doesn't show "the world" but some strange shapes
Claireschen Hesten replied to Meros Denothar's question in Getting Started
i know the question is answered but you may want to upgrade your graphics drivers i tried upgrading mine went in to sl turned on VBO and got bombarded with those 'strange shapes' you mention which i never got before with this turned on i've turned it off and it makes a huge difference i get the feeling what i thought was an upgrade might've been a downgrade -
good facial expressions for avatars
Claireschen Hesten replied to Xantho Muhindra's question in Avatar
Mysti-tool free version has a selection of facial animations which ever animation selected permanent till you choose another animation or tell it to stop the free Bright AO has facial anims included but they only last a few seconds at a time which may not be long enough i have been to a couple of stores that give away free random smiler huds they don't need you to click something every time you want an anim -
you can buy stalking huds that send out drones to follow you across the grid for the hud owner to do that they need rezzing rights and to be in the same sim during the initial stalk process then they can control the drone from the hud to talk to you until they stop the stalk or you log off i believe they stop working on re-log can't be certain as i haven't used one but seen them listed on xstreet
