Ok my friends talked me into trying windlight. it is great for grapics I tell you but I have a question. How do I when I take a pic stop looking like I take a pic? The animation I mean. I like to take pics of my friends when they are chatting and all yes they know I do this lol.

any fixes?

Just wear an animation that is priority 4. That will stop the 'taking a pic' animation when you actually take a pic. You can also turn off the camera sound by going into the client menu ctrl-d.

There is an option in the debug menus you get with [ctrl]+[alt]+D. I think it's called "Silent Snapshots To Disk". That, No Camera Constraints, and High Resolution Shapshots and a HUGE draw distance makes for great picture taking opportunities. (^_^)

This picture here is also in Windlight.



I also took it with silent settings. I was the only person there, but still.

Animations have priorities set when they're uploaded. I think 4 is the highest. (^_^)

If you are in an animation that's priority 4, then all other animations below it will not be played. It's a good way to force AO poses and animations to override just about ANYTHING thrown at it. But if it's not made right (Key frame for EVERY limb), your animations may come through a little and make you look a little gimped. (^_^)

*But* also be aware that you will still hear the "snap." Ergo, the "silent to disk is the best option for photos without people knowing.

And while we're busy posting a couple examples...

Totally. (^_^)y ... And, someone tell me if I'm wrong, I'm sure the sound and the animation BOTH get killed with that setting if you take your snapshot using [ctrl]+`. (^_^) At least... I don't see it. (^_^)y

And... btw... Good shot of Teeple there. (^_^) I totally hogged him yesterday by forgetting to stand up off the poseball. (^+^)
