Ian Undercroft Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Using Kirstensviewer (now S21) which is V2 based, I've been seeing "tight pant syndrome" on other avatars for several months now. My own avatar doesn't appear to me to suffer from this affliction, although I assume others see me in tight pants. Obviously the affects of this syndrome can be alleviated by wearing pants with prim cuffs/flares. I've a number of questions. Do all viewers suffer from seeing tight pants? Is the fact that you appear to others as having tight pants dependent on the viewer you use? Can I change my viewer settings in some way so that I no longer see tight pants on other avatars? I've raised tight pants in passing in other threads previously. However, my comments have never generated any significant response. This might lead me to assume that I am in a minority in seeing this problem. However, I doubt that to be the case. As matters stand I think it a shame that one can't wear pants without prim cuffs/flares without appearing ridiculous to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I use Phoenix viewer and I see tight pants when I expect they are supposed to be tight and loose pants when I expect they are supposed to be loose. I think sometimes people forget lower leg prim attachments and then they can appear to be tight. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Hancroft Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I see it sometimes too, Ian and I use the Phoenix viewer. It sometimes happens after a teleport. A buddy of mine and I have been going on the various gridwide hunts, and when I see him before we start, his pants legs are fine. Then, after the first teleport, ta-da! tight pants...and they remain that way until he logs off. I've just gotten used to it and, of course, he can't see that his pants are ridiculous all of a sudden. I don't know what causes the phenomenon, but I've taken to wearing prim lower leg attachments so it doesn't happen to ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabb Dilweg Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I understand this is a bug in Snowstorm, which Kirsten's is based upon. There is a JIRA about it also but I'm not sure what stage it's at, I haven't looked in a while. Sorry I can't provide a link, but I'm in a rush to do something else. Search on tight pants or browse through the JIRA items in the Snowstorm project. Any viewer based on Snowstorm will have the same issue. For my experience I can vouch for Catznip as well as Kirsten's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Undercroft Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 It seems more fundamental than a mistake on the part of the wearer, Venus. Even when pants come with prim attachments they will still often have some "give" in them to give a looser fit effect. I don't see the looser fit effect with the result that prim turn ups, for example, often appear some distance removed from or too big for the pant bottom.

Ian Undercroft Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks Mabb. I have seen the JIRA previously. It's been outstanding for months now. I don't understand why if the problem is widespread that an issue which affects so many people (especially men) on a day in day out basis hasn't been resolved after such a long time.

Maitimo Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Most bugs don't seem to ever get fixed at all. I wouldn't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Eliot Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Tateru blogged about this bug and how long it's taken Linden Lab to become aware of it. I also get it in the official Viewer2. luckily i wear sculpty shorts so i still look fashionable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clarence Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Whenever my pants look that way I turn off my AO - my newbie walk is indicative of the pants crotch riding up my backside. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes Avon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It's a bug that showed up in the newer versions of the V2 viewers and any TPVs that are modeled after it. There is a JIRA on this issue and it was recently assigned. The more watchers and voters the better. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/ECC-49?
