chat/typing overrider program

i just saw one on slexchange but, my laptop battery died and now can't seem to find it!!! if anyone knows what i'm talking about please let me know or direct me in the right place to get one.

what i want to do is customize my own object to type and possibly my own animation. any help is appreciated thank you.

Do you mean you want to override the type animation with one of your own and put it in an object which will only override it when you wear the object?
Tell me if I am wrong but I think that is what you mean.

I think to do this you would need to create your animation using a program like Qavimator (i think that is what it is called, not sure whether this inly does poses or not) and upload it, or you could buy an animation if you can find one.
You would then need to get an override script which includes override the typing animation, and then you would need to put all this into the object which would need to be created and worn.

i think that is right. There are a lot more people who know about stuff like this. They are much better than me too. I'll let them correct me lol.

There are seveal typing anim overrides out there. For quite a while, I used one called "FemTalk" that made my avatar gesture with her hands and move her mouth as if I was talking, instead of tapping an invisible keyboard.

There are others which actually rez a keyboard in front of you for you to "type" on, or sometimes some other object, such as a cell phone or PDA.

These days, I simply use an AO that overrides the typing animation, and I just stand there. The typing sound still plays, so people know I'm about to say something.

I don't know of any of these typing replacements that are customizable. You'd have to contact the vendor, and ask if they would be interested in some custom work. It'd probably be pretty expensive. Or you could make your own animation (and sound, if you want) and replace the typing animation with your own. That's a setting in the Client menu/Debug Settings.

Femtalk sounds kewl. I'll have to look that up.

I have some gestures that activate and play when I use voice that move my hands and head like I'm talking.

There are a few low-cost (possibly free, can't remember) ones at Grendel's... Writing in a spell-book with a quill or munching on cookies, chips, sugar, that sorta thing.

If you just plain don't like the typing animation at all, and would rather not do anything at all, you can do this for free.

ALl you have to do is anable the debug menus (ctrl shift alt d I think), and disable the typing/chat animation in the client menu..not sure the exact location.

DOing this means youw ill just keep your normal pose when typing, you hands/arms won't move

oh no i don't mind the typing animation at all haha. but, i just want to make my own object instead of using the the available stuff (i.e. keyboard, laptop, iphone)

i want to design my own object and be able for the object to appear like the laptop does, that it only appears when you type.

that's pretty much what i want to do. well not so much the animation part haha. just the having an object while typing for now. then maybe that later. but, i saw something i swear i did on slexchange lol that looked like a simple program. then again, i didn't sleep and it was late at the time :X

where is this fem talk you speak of, I type fem talk into the ALL search and a profile for a 6YO girl comes up first... and .. that frankly worries me...

i think she's referring to the feminine talk animation override

Hi Kelli!

Do you recall what general area of Grendel's these were in?

Thanks

Erm... it's a big shop isn't it

IIRC, turn left as you get into the main bit and go past where the dragon eggs are. The stuff you're looking for is on the wall you are facing, one level up.

Oh yes...HUGE store

Thanks so much, Kelli...will check that out when I get back in world.
