I have an AO that I purchased and I love it... But the creator (abramations??) has a few different packs. Can I merge the different packs into one AO? or do I have to switch out AO depending on how i feel that day?

Most ao's now have a load notecard , so you can have diffrent ao' stances in one.

Figure out how to make it load a new notecard with your stances in them, have to edit a new one tho, or modify old if you want to change it, better off asking the creator tho.

AO's are free, the old /ao on, should be tossed in bin, stick with a huddie click one save a listen.

I'm using ZHAO for walking running and sitting, and a Huddle for other poses, They both work very well.

I have ZHAO and that seems good although I have not loaded it up with stuff yet.
(I'm so backlogged into what I need to do in SL)

What hud are you running for the other stuff?

I grabbed Be-Bar the other day again have not played much with it but it looks good.

If you buy several complete AO sets you should be able to take the animations out of each AO device and mix them together into a new AO set of your own. Most animations are usually no copy and no modify though so if you really like one particular walk animation you'll have to buy multiple copies of it. But the good thing is that places that sell AO sets almost always sell the animations separately.

Try dragging your AO attachment to the ground. Sometimes those things are covered with an invisible texture so maybe have 'view transparent' turned on. Right click it and open it and you will see all your animations. Drag these into your inventory. Now either re-use that same AO attachment or get a free one like ZHAO and fill it with whatever animation suits you. You'll probably have to read the instructions on how to get the AO to see those new animations.

One more vote for ZHAO - I love mine. You can load all your anim sets into it, put in a separate notecard for each (it includes instructions and a sample card) and you're ready to go. It switches between AO sets quickly and easily. An additional benefit of ZHAO is that it doesn't use voice commands, which I find really helpful.

I like ZHAO too, but I have real problems adding new animations or notecards. I add them but they don't read. I've loaded them (obviously), reset the scripts, even re-compiled the scripts, but - nothing. I've given up. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
