Discussion: MLP - Multi-love-pose

your wonderful scripting abilities have allowed me to teach myself ALOT about scripting and animations in general, I really appreciate you for all you have done.
If you need a small plot of land I would be more than willing to donate you a place. just let me know in world.
thanks AGAIN.
and people, when you go to pick a copy of this wonderful object go ahead and use her tip jar
hmmmkay

Hmm, well this is news to me. At least somebody is enjoying it. Maybe it should be re-named, "Multi-Lust Pose" instead of love though. If it were meant for love, one surely wouldnt use it with others than their spouse for the most part, if they are married. I dont normally de-rail threads and wont post here again, I just found it disturbing that my SL wife is cheering on a pose device that she, 1) hadnt used with myself, and 2) obviously has been using it since she claimed she loves it and is proposing others to go get a copy, etc. Again, I apologize for the off-topic comment, I'll be asking her about the rest of this directly.

Yes! new version is there, pick up a free copy in world, for the pick up location check my profile (Search - People - Miffy Fluffy - Picks).

CHANGES IN MLP V1.2:
- now checks if the balls are rezzed, it will rez new balls after a ball has disappeared unexpectedly for some reason (after a few minutes)
- ownership change is detected (thanks to Kokoro Fasching)
- added STAND button (now different from STOP button), to avoid confusion. STAND will always set the default stand pose. STOP will always remove the balls.
- added GROUP access option to MAIN MENU, in the Options menu - 'MenuUser' you can select between OWNER/GROUP/ALL (previous users need to adjust their .MENUITEMS notecard, USERS has become MENUUSERS with the new options).
- added GROUP access option for each individual SUBMENU, in .MENUITEMS you can define the access restriction for each submenu: OWNER/GROUP/ALL.
- added GROUP access option for the poseballs, In the Options menu - 'BallUsers' you can select between GROUP/ALL.
- If you select the menu while it has been used by someone else within the last minute, you're asked if you want to continue. (In previous versions the owner did get a chat message if any user operated the menu, this has been removed. To add this feature again: uncomment line #51 in ~menu.)
- note: menu's and poses can not have the same name anymore, users of previous versions should change the name of the 'Shut Down' button to something else (f.i: ShutDown!) if they also have a menu with the same name.

Users of previous versions need to change some things in the .MENUITEMS notecard, like the ShutDown button and menu (make sure they have different names now), the USERS options, and the STOP/STAND buttons (are now two different buttons with different functions). See the readme and the .MENUITEMS example.

To the commercial users: it's nice if you could send me a copy of each commercial product, incl. updates (as I do get a lot of questions from buyers of commercial products made with the MLP, also please indicate who to contact in case of problems (that is: the ones making the money, not me )

Good luck and I wish you all lot's of poseball fun!

Hey....I can't wait to test this out in some furniture I'm making. Very cool!

Is there a way to use a mullti-pose script without using poseballs at all? I'd love to be able to just click on my bed and have a menu pop up....somewhat like the sexgen beds....but w/o the balls. Ideally, I'd like to have both indiviual poses....like watching TV....solo sleeping...etc....and then the ability to switch to couple poses...scripted into the bed itself. Kind hit a snag.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I paled a bit when I read this - ah well - I will still continue my own version - after all it auto-adjusts poses (whenever I get it to work properly)

As to your question:



I won't say I'm the expert here but I do not think it can be done. Here's my reasoning:

When you sit on something you get linked to it. If you were to sit on the bed you and the bed become one. This isn't really bad but if you want to adjust an individual pose you're in trouble because you *and* the bed will move. With a poseball that is not linked to the bed you can adjust the pose with your keys or whatever - this flexibility I wouldn't give up, considering the different heights in avatars - all you save is a single prim and you loose a lot of flexibility.

EDIT: If it's the shape you find less than pleasing why not use a cushion on the bed and put the scripts in? Won't spoil the atmosphere as much as those bland spheres.

Actually it can be done to a certain extent. If you have ever gone to Wild Thyme's furniture store you will see why I say this. She has done an awesome job scripting her furniture with a similar script. Granted you only get three poses to choose from when you sit, but you do not see any pose balls..the scripts and animations are in a box for each person to sit then linked to the cushion. I do not know how she accomplished this, but I like not seeing the poseballs; instead we get a menu that allows us to choose what pose we would like to use.

Hi Miffy,

I went to the link you have in your picks, and tried to get the script from the signs that are there (like the one you show in the picture).

None of the signs has a 'Buy' option in it, and there doesn't seem to be any other way of accessing the script. Have you withdrawn it? Or is this an error? Is there anywhere else I can get it?

Thanks in advance.

Bianca,

It's not the sign, it's the flat blue box there on the deck. The small "boxy" box is for donations.

On a slightly different topic, the hosting location seems to be a state of flux as I stand here in world (there is no building here at the moment, only Miffy's items floating in the air) so you might look for updates as to where to get the MLP in the future.

Miffy, this is just amazing. Outstanding work, not only for its ease of use and general robustness, but also because you do it with only 9 active scripts and .030 ms script time when the thing is active and running. (only 2 scripts and .003 ms script time when the thing is completely shut down.)

Even better, you open-sourced it and enable users to customize it to their heart's content, which means no more pre-configured modules to add to some core product, most of which are poses you'll never use anyway.

Even better, you can set it up as a HUD! That's just brilliant. Imagine being able to go to your favorite club and whip out just one set of pose balls to change up your couples dances or to neck with your sweetie at whim, without having to clutter up the floor with couples balls. That's exactly what I'm doing with mine ^.^ Makes me regret the money I spent on a SexGen rug recently, just to get a few nice cuddle anims for use while out and about.

Applause. People need to get the word out about this (and be generous with donations to you). You can bet I'll be passing it out to all my friends and pimping it like mad.

Whats up with all the ban fences in the area? tp to that one point and BOOM red tape in my face... personally for me thats not a problem, I have this one toy of mine that can cut through red-tape like butter and your stuff was still there, but everything else is gone. Tell yah what, toss me a IM In game and I'll GIVE you a place to put this out for others to buy that will be around for quite awhile.

Where in the code can be edited out or fixed so when the av sits on the ball, it doesn't ask permisson to animate the av and just does it? Also with the constant sim restarts the script gets goobered up and the item needs to be restarted by the owner for it to be usefull again. Is there something that can be fixed so that it just restarts when the sim restarts? Are there anyway that the items i mentioned can be addressed in the next update?

Otherwise excellent scripting!

Packard, I'm not a tenth of the scripter Miffy is, but I can tell you the Permission Dialog probably can't be avoided in a device like this. You're used to not getting a dialog from objects you sit on, but in this case it's not the ball that wants to animate you - it's the MLP unit instead, and you're not sitting on *it*, so it must ask permission. There's no way around it. Fortunately you only need to grant permission once per session, which isn't so bad

edit - dumb typo

HI ok i see what your talking baout, however i have seen other items that work lik ethat and they seem to bypass the permssions thing, thats why i asked. I was currious if it was possible. You are correct that it is a good thing tha it only askes once. But i thought it would be a interesting suggestion.

Scripts don't pass the permission thing, it's just in some cases (when script is placed in item attached directly to the AV either as 'real' attachment or as a seat) the permissions are automatically granted.

the MLP system uses pair of unlinked prims to allow change of AV positions to match selected animations, and stores animations in separate bank of sorts to save the owner trouble of having separate copies of the same animations... (plus animations are frequently sold as tranfser/no copy which would make putting them into rezzed item difficult ) ... so you can think of it as of small price to pay for all the convenience and savings it provides ^^;;

I have seen the scripts that are supposed to over ride the AO over ride. Is it possible to add that to the ball scripts so when someone has an OA on, it overids the overide, or does it already do that? Also the items i was refering to were the sex gen beds that also use the muti pose thing as well. IDK if they use the same thing where the balls are seperate like the way you just described or not, but it seems to be. That never asks for permissions. Just pointing out that item which has that feature that i have seen so far.

thanks

Hello
Thank you for these good scripts.

How can i ask money to client for use an object which content MLP?
(sorry for my bad english, i'm french)

I would like a script wich start the menu when client paid the object.

Thank you for help.

Hi Miffy,

It took me a while to get it to work, but I have cracked it and it is great.

Thanks for all the effort.

Lil

Heh, I made a multi-pose system for my bed towards the beginning of the year. Yours looks a bit more versitile though. Guess I better get cracking on improving mine some more!

No flux just a change in architecture, trust me, I've owned this land since 2004, it isn't going anywhere.

Hmm don't remember who you are Kator, but it usually means you were banned for a reason, you are free to contact me if you believe this to be in error.

What would be the most efficcient means to send the users name to the menu script?
When someone sits it would send the name to a string variable called user1. when user1 gets off theball it would blank out the name in user1
same thing with a user2 string.

thanks
Id be willing to contract someone for this functionality if possible

First off, what a fab script, took a while but I finally braved taking a look at it. Real easy to use, and config. Thanks.

One quick question, does anyone know how to get it to sync in case animations are off, or maybe it will sync itself if it notices that the animations are no longer synced. Most animations are fine if one sided, but I am looking at a few animations that may be a bit more complex, and syncing would be necessary. So if anyone knows a mod I could do, or someone who can do it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for a great script, and thanks in advance for any help.

Great scripting work Miffy! I'm wondering if it's possible to put the MLP scripts in an object you wear, which your partner can click on, but have a HUD button for yourself to trigger the worn object's MLP? This could be a lot more accessible than trying to click the worn object on your own avie.

You can attach the MLP to your HUD by default if that helps.

A very belated thank you for your response, Ant. Somehow I managed to miss it previously. I did check back at the store again at the time, with no success. But I decided to try again recently, and after I saw your response, I had another look at Miffy's profile, and saw that I had the wrong place. I hadn't noticed that the coordinates in Miffy's profile were for a different place than the Sexy Motions store. I had just looked in and around the store (mainly because of the sign in the picture, which is the same as those in the store).
