SexGen Bed

If I have a sex gen bed, is it possible to add poses to it?

Have you called Sex Gen tech support? She breathes heavily while helping you.

Is it mod? If not, then no. If it is, then yes but it'll be difficult. SexGen beds use MLP, which is configurable but complicated.

Sexgen does not use MLP they have their own branded system called .... "Sexgen" !

Your best bet is to contact Stroker Serpentine or Briggi Bard (whichever person shows as the "Creator" for your particular bed) for information. Yes, a SexGen bed is modifyable, and you can add other things to it. Stroker sells the SexGen base unit as a seperate item, for those who want to make their own custom bed, couch, or whatever. But the owners documentation for the SexGen items should tell you how to add other things to it. Bring up the menu, and select Help to get a notecard, as I recall.

One caution. They often come out with updates, that add more poses and other options to existing SexGen products. If you modify your own bed, it may make it less able to be upgraded later with a manufacturer's update pack. But at worst, it may entail re-adding your specialized poses.

I've looked at the idea of adding a few of my favorite free-standing sets to my existing bed, and so far, I haven't quite dared to try. The process seemed rather daunting.

The easiest way to add poses to just about anything, be it a bed or a bench, the kitchen table, the washing machine or your rooftop:

1. Create a sphere prim, resize it a little and color it

2. Go to the "Content" tab within the Edit window, click the "New Script" button, doubleclick the script and paste this text in:

string animation = "Yeehaw"; //Name of your animation or pose file; case-sensitive! 
string hovering_text = "Nice one"; //Text displayed above the poseball 
string sit_text = "Have fun"; //Text displayed on right-click 
float distance_left_right = 0.1; //Tweak your avatar's sitting position with 
float distance_front_back = -0.2; //these three values 
float distance_up_down = 0.3; 

key avataronsittarget; 
default 
{ 
    state_entry() 
    { 
        llSitTarget(<distance_left_right, distance_front_back,
        distance_up_down>,<0,0,0,1>); 
        llSetSitText(sit_text); 
        llSetText(hovering_text,<1,1,1>, 1); 
        key owner = llGetOwner();
        llListen(0,"",owner,"show");
        llListen(0,"",owner,"hide");
    }     
    changed(integer change) 
    { 
        if(change & CHANGED_LINK) 
        { 
            avataronsittarget = llAvatarOnSitTarget(); 
            if( avataronsittarget != NULL_KEY ) 
            { 
                llRequestPermissions(avataronsittarget, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);       
            } 
            else 
            { 
                llSetText(hovering_text, <1,1,1>, 1);
                llSetAlpha(1,ALL_SIDES); 
                llStopAnimation("stand"); 
            } 
        } 
    } 
    run_time_permissions(integer perm) 
    { 
        if(perm) 
        { 
            llStopAnimation("sit"); 
            llStartAnimation(animation); 
            llSetAlpha(0,ALL_SIDES); 
            llSetText("",  <1,1,1>, 1);
        } 
    } 
    listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string mes)
    {
        if (mes=="show")
        {
            llSetText(hovering_text,  <1,1,1>, 1);
            llSetAlpha(1,ALL_SIDES);
        }
        else
        {
            llSetText("",  <1,1,1>, 1);
            llSetAlpha(0,ALL_SIDES);
        }
    }
} 

3. Edit the top part of the script to your liking (at least enter the name of your pose file)

4. Save the script and drag your pose file into the content area of the Edit window

5. Sit down on your new poseball and position it on your bed

You can toggle the visibility of your additional poseball(s) by saying "show" or "hide".

Ishtara, that is a wonderful example of a basic pose ball script.

However, I believe the original poster was seeking to make use of the scripted pose ball rezzing and de-rezzing that the SexGen bed does so well. Then, rather than having 200+ hidden pose balls, all taking up prim count, the bed's scripts can rez your choice of 100 or more sets of 1 to 4 pose balls per animation set. A menu-driven system like the SexGen bed is much kinder on your parcel resources, as the pose balls only exist when summoned for use.

You can add any animation to a SexGen using the "SexGen Opend". Be aware that we do not recomend that someone lacking basic building/positioning/notecard editing experience attempt this, as it may disable your base unit. We offer the Opend upon request if you are confident in the aforementioned basic abilities.

We have found for purposes of support it is easiest to just offer basic "no hassle" update packs. It has been our experience that new players will attempt to add anims without a consideration of experience, therefore making a tech support nightmare for all the SexGen Techs, thats why we only offer it upon request. IM me or Briggi Bard for further information.

BTW...Thanks Ceera

Well, the question could be read as "is it possible to add animations / poses to a bed", asked by someone who doesn't know how to tie an animation to a certain place or stationary object. Sorry that I lack knowledge of this particular product. Never hurts to get more than one answer, I think

What I have been unable to find in world is the possiblity to buy an scripted pose ball rezzing tool, add animations to my personal taste and and put it into my own bed/matress.

But maybe it's already in world available???

I mentioned MLP, look that up. It's made by Miffy Fluffy; it's in his Picks.

The SexGen documentation is usually available for free at SexGen outlets. IM me and I can send you a copy.

Okay, while I like the Avimator and qAvimator programs for animations, it's often far too easy to over-write an animation when you use them. And I've managed to do just that.

I have the animation in SL, my local copy however is over-written and is now useless

I'm wondering if there is any-way to retrieve the raw .bvh of my animation? I realise this goes into the whole copy-bot fiasco, and all I have really is my word that I only wish to export my OWN work to restore a damaged (okay, stupidly saved over) copy on my own machine. But if anyone is willing to trust this humble shop-owner enough to tell me how then you may PM me, or drop a notecard on my name in-world or something if you do not wish to expose a method that could be abused.

Thank you for any/all help, please do not post just to say that I clearly want to steal animations, as that it is not my intention. I worked hard on the anim, and am pleased with it, but it I wish to do more with it and need it as the basis for another and to have to re-do it would take a fair bit of time

Cheers

Wow. thanks Ishtara. I was in dire need of a basic poseball script this morning and there it is.

Oh wow yes this is what I was looking for! Thanks & thanks to Miffy.
Btw, it's no blue plane, but the flat blue box on which you land when tp-ed to the landmark in Miffy's picks.

Still have to add some animations though. Does anyone have any suggestions where to buy (or get) the best sex animations, regular and BDSM?
