heyas! so... yeah, i've been mostly inactive for a while, and while browsing the lsl wiki the other day, i discovered a "new" permission and command for overriding animations! wow. (that came out in 2013. :X) so i was wondering... has anybody released and open source AO script using this new functionality? you know, like franimation and zhao overriders of days long gone? or do i have to do it myself? also... i'm sensing... that it can't do things the old overriders could, like have several stands that could randomly be cycled through. and do i also understand that it doesn't play the built-in SL animations AT ALL? (my TAO2 ao for tinies uses a blend where some limbs are unlocked to just use the standard anims.) annnnnnd... i was reading that states like 'pre jump' and 'landing' etc can't be looped animations, or the avatar will get stuck in place. buuuut, i was just doing an AO for a new avatar, and it only worked right if they WERE looped. (of course the old-style ao uses llStopAnimation to change 'states.') if they're not looped, do i have to get the exact timing down on how long those should last? what if they're too short? i'd love to play and experiment, but i'm working on a project i need to get done. : / thanks!

Being a big fan of mixing and matching animations from AOs, I'm always looking for more animations to buy-- either in a full AO or in separate pieces. Does anyone know of any good places to browse a wide selection of different AOs? I've got nothing in particular on my mind, I just want to look at new animations to use. Only specification is that I'm not really interested in any AOs in the marketplace. It's too difficult to tell the quality of any animations you're getting from static images alone, and no one likes paying anywhere from 300 to 1k L on something that either doesn't look good, doesn't work for what you want, or is too similar to what you have already to actually be used. I want to be able to preview them in-world!

I recently tried to put some dance animations together in Firestorm, seeing as I thought it was the only way to put the dances together in the first place. I usually just use the regular Second Life viewer so I had to watch a tutorial on how to work with Firestorm. i was able to put the animations together but the minute i did, my original AO stopped working. i tried my best to turn the dance AO off, tried switching back to the regular SL viewer, tried all my other AOs, and even tried making a new animations list like i did for my dance animations, which could've worked, only the AOs that i have are non copy and non modify Anyone know what I should do and how to fix this?
