We have seen more crowds of lately, actually |
15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Partly perhaps a better listing in the destination guide, and partly things Larky has been doing in social media, although she's currently taking a vacation. |

Oh yes, I got that in today |
15:17 |

Great |

I'm going to fold that in to the faculty kit in the break room so staff can have that easily on hand |

15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions and announcements? |
15:20 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
Newbie Question: If a shirt alpha and a pant alpha leave a gap in the middle and skin shows through, is it possible to adjust one of them to close the gap? |
15:20 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Still hosting the Writers' MEeting with weird prompts... |
15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thursdays, 11am, for Elf's writers' meeting |
15:21 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes, Jef. You can make your own alphas (or just use a solid texture in the alpha window to hide -everything). IT does take some knowledge of what you're hiding though if you only want to hide specific spots |
15:21 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
i have to go everybody. y'all take care and be safe and happy! |
15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's relatively easy to create a new alpha or potentially to find one, Jef |
15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
bye |
15:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ta-tah, Tora! |
15:21 |

We have a folder of freebie alphas also, in the faculty kit |
15:22 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
oh oops |
15:22 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
sorry |
15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
I can send you that if you'd like to sort through them and see what you may want |
15:22 |
lovejoy2199 |
Easy, if you already know what you are doing. |
15:22 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
Freebie alphas would be great |
15:22 |
Agatha Macbeth |
That's the trick...knowing what you're doing :P |
15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Basically, painting white on a secotion of the body templates, Lovejoy |
15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The other side of that question is where there's an intentional clothing gap, skin should show, and an alpha is making that invisible. |
15:24 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
THanks so much |
15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've sent you a folder of full-perms alpha masks. There IS a folder of (less versatile) mask in the inventory library under Library -> body parts ->alpha masks |
15:25 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
Ok |
15:25 |
highlyadjective |
Freebie alphas would be great too please :) It would be fun to learn how to make clothes, the BOM for classic avis anyway |
15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So a matter of extending an alpha in Jef's case, or shortening an alpha in the opposite case |
15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've sent you a copy of that too, Highly ❤ |
15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
Just wave at me if anyone else wants a copy |

Other questions or topics? |
15:30 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
1 quick newbie question |
15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Kit? |
15:30 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
yup! |
15:31 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
so the people numbers on destinations.. are those fake? |
15:31 |
Ember (emberell) |
They're not fake, but they update somewhat irregularly |
15:31 |
Ember (emberell) |
Depending on the locale you may se more (or less) than what is actually there at the given time if people have just left/ just arrived. |
15:31 |
Ember (emberell) |
And in many cases, some sims may have people out of view (up high, down low/etc |
15:32 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
cause there were rooms with 20 people stated regularly but i never see people inside |
15:32 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
and rooms that with none but with a lot of people in there |
15:32 |
Ember (emberell) |
It's possible in those cases the last viewed number was from the end of an event, or jsut before an event |
15:32 |
Ember (emberell) |
IT takes a little bit to update |
15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, as Ember mentioned, the counts would be by sim or parcel, and include all altitudes |
15:34 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
15:34 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
okies..thanks a lot! |
15:34 |
Gronk Seriman |
Kit, when I explore, I always have the minimap top left of my screen. Shows where people are. A dot means they are on your level. An up arrow or down arrow means they are above or below you. |
15:34 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
oh! |
15:34 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
above me? |
15:34 |
Gronk Seriman |
Yes. |
15:34 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes! Like right now, from the ground, we would all be up arrows, since we are at 2,000 feet |
15:35 |
Ember (emberell) |
But Sasha, over in Andrea's parcel to the east, is a down arrow since she's preparing for the dance |
15:35 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
We are currently above some people |

oh! |
15:35 |

lol okok |
15:35 |
Ember (emberell) |
When you hover over a dot, SL will tell you an estimate of how far away they are too, I believe |
15:35 |
highlyadjective |
Some people may have a store on the "ground" and then living quarters and sandboxes up in the air |
15:35 |
Ember (emberell) |
So you can tell if they may be in a skybox, or just hidden |
15:36 |
highlyadjective |
Or vice versa |
15:36 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
i see |
15:36 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
got it! |
15:36 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
i'll hunt them down the next time with the mini map! |
15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sometimes, that even helps to hunt down events in a sky box. |
15:38 |
Ember (emberell) |
Though do take care you aren't just popping into a private home! |
15:38 |
kit (munchykitkit) |
i've got kicked a few times.. :D |
15:39 |
highlyadjective |
But private homes are the most interesting to look at |
