My bot avatar is red smoke

[Atrivixo]

I'm creating a bot using Lib OpenMetaVerse.  I've managed to get it logged in but for some reason the avatar only displays as red smoke... I've used a C# script from wiki page.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong necessarily.  Your bot's just not rezzing.  It happens briefly to everyone as we log on, and then stops within a second or two.  If yours get stuck, theres a communication problem between your computer and SL's servers. Information about your appearance (or your bot's) has to be "baked" onto your avatar on your own computer, saved there, and then uploaded to SL before it's fully visible there. If the necessary information is messed up in transmission, you may end up with a borked file on your computer, or SL's servers may end up with a borked image. Either way, your av's appearance defaults to a fluffy cloud. What works to repair the damage for one person won't necessarily work for the next person, and it may not be the same thing that works for you tomorrow. See the full list of possibilities here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_bake_fail . Start with the simple things at the top of the list and work down until you find what works for you today.

You may find that the bake fail problem comes back repeatedly, even after you fix it with one of the suggestions on that wiki page. If so, you have a chronically weak Internet connection. There are many steps to take for repairing it. Perhaps the simplest ones -- ones that work best for most people -- are: (1) Don't Use WIRELESS. Wireless connections are inherently less stable than direct cable connections and are more vulnerable to interference. Then, (2) Reboot your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes to let it clear its RAM. The plug it back in and let it get a fresh hold on an IP address.

First, I'd try logging into it normally and see if that sets it right. It may be possible the bot itself has something to set appearance...someone else in the office here worked with a bot, I don't know what caused it but I know at first we had problems with them turning into ugly midgets every time they logged in.

Thanks for your responses.  Unfortunately I've tried all these suggestions and nothing seems to be fixing it

From the libopenmetaverse website:

Make sure you have one of the following copied to your bots/clients bin directory

• openjpeg-dotnet.dll (Windows/.NET and Windows/Mono)
• openjpeg-dotnet-x86_64.dll (64-bit versions of Windows)
• libopenjpeg-dotnet-2.1.3.0-dotnet-1.dylib (Apple OSX/Mono)
• libopenjpeg-dotnet-2.1.3.0-dotnet-1-i686.so (Linux/Mono 32bit)
• libopenjpeg-dotnet-2.1.3.0-dotnet-1-x86_64.so (Linux/Mono x86_64)

How do I get/create this openjpeg-dotnet.dll file?
