I purchased an AO set I think it said Defiant. Anyway I see the animations in my inventory. How do I incorporate them into my avi? Do I have to select them and hit play everytime or can they be added somewhere permanently so they auto play?

And second issue. My skybox that disappeared when I rezzed it because it was too big for my plot of land still has not auto returned. I was going to return it to the creator and ask for a refund since it said in his notecard it would fit a 512 but did not. I was working with a friend on teleports for my new skybox and realized I had the teleports for the missing skybox. So I rezzed the teleports for my missing skybox and used it. It teleported me to a place in the area that my land is but it said something like Govenor Linden as the land owner. Could this mean my skybox is somewhere there? I just thought it strange to end up there after teleporting but it could have just been a fluke I guess. Or are the Linden's holding my skybox hostage? Hmmmmm...scratches head.

Thanks for any and all help as always!

your AO set is just that, a set of animations to use in an Animation Overrider gadget. You need to load them to an AO like the WetIkon or the ZHAO then wear that. If you need help with that feel free to IM me in game later

I have no clue on the other question. sorry

I am new too I don't entirely understand the AO's stuff yet but I do notice prims joined or not joined i.e buildings, garden platforms,etc that I have created or bought since I joined unless they have something under them connecting to ground drift but I read its bug that they supposively fixed.
I have been having that issue since I joined with buildings drifting to another person land but it hasn't happen in few days or so for me I got building up to over 315 meters but I also have tower supporting it on oneside for now.

About the second part...when you tried to rez the skybox, did it appear at all before vanishing, or did it not show up at all? If it didn't show up at all, did you get a message like "cannot create object, parcel full" or something like that? Did you get a message saying "skybox has been returned to your Lost and Found folder"?

Sometimes when people say "will fit on a 512m2 plot of land" they're talking about the footprint as opposed to the prim count. If you only have a single 512m2 of land in the sim, you only get 117 prims you can use, and if the skybox was more prims than that you wouldn't be allowed to use it until you bought more land and thus had a higher prim allocation.

If it did get autoreturned and its not in your lost and found, 1. try relogging and check the lost and found folder again, I've had that bug where returned objects don't appear until after relog. 2. Check the folder that the skybox was originally stored in in your inventory.

Regarding the teleports - depending on how it was scripted, they may or may not give a clue as to where your skybox went. I believe most scripted teleports work in reference to the skybox placement, so if there isn't a skybox there the teleports may act wonky and not get you to where you were supposed to go.

Oh I forgot to mention if you're using those free or certain type of script type teleporters there only few that go or allow you to program above or below certain distance I learn this the hard way.

I'm having a problem with my AO as well. I have the Maximilion BodyGuard AO and it is modifieable allowing me to add or remove poses. I follow the instructions on it to know how to do it. (add new poses or remove poses from the notecard in its edit mode, than drop the new poses into the AO) Well this way is'nt working, there's 2 things that it will do. 1. when the AO does the new pose it pops up the script error sign on my hip where the AO is located when I wear it and my AV poses ike a noob until the next pose. 2. Nothing will happen it will just do the normal Maximilion poses.
So I am unable to add new poses or remove the current ones. Does anybody know whats goin on? I follow the instructions to the T so I dont know.

I never saw the sybox there was just an instant message about full parcel etc. Now this has been quite a few log in and outs ago. I have continued to check my inventory and even gone as far to rez every item associated with that folder and every object file in my inventory just called object. This is to no avail.

I guess I need to buy an AO gadget. I did not see anthing called that when I was shopping for the Defiant AO poses. I need a job..keep spending all this money on stuff.

Constance, for AO I believe the ZHAO is free.

From the error message it seems that your skybox should still be in your inventory. Open your inventory and type in the name into its search box (top of the inventory panel)... maybe it got moved to a different folder by accident.

Make sure when adding the names of the new poses to the notecard they are exact. The card is case senstive. Also make sure there is no space before or after. Usually what I do is just highlight the name of the pose, copy, and then paste it into the appropriate spot for that animation.

Yeah I'm copying and pasting the pose names and am still having the same issues.

If you're adding to poses to your AO, you may need to reset it after that. Check the notecard on how to do that

Gillian is right. I forgot that part, sorry. Usually its just ao reset. Then the new poses will be added. I have been using a huddles for awhile now and forgot about the regular AO. Sorries. :(

I swear I need to get some sleep I'm really out of it today. :o

some respond to specific channels (other than 1) so be sure to check your reset channel :) I bet this works.
