When sitting on a poseball or a animation vendor, what is it exactly that forces you to get up when you change clothes from your inventory? Is there some way to bypass this or is it just by default?

A long time ago someone who regularly posts in here (Jillian Callahan I think) posted to the hotline on this issue.
Andrew Linden replied, and basically it's a default behaviour built in. I can't remember all the details, but basically SL used to resize you when baking new clothes textures, or it operates on the basis that you might resize so it bumps you off the sit target. He did say it would get bug reported and fixed, but it appears to have fallen off the radar. Sadly search doesn't reveal the post. |

This thread
This is a bug... of sorts. What is really happening is that all modifications of the avatar go through a particular path in the code that also tries to rescale the avatar's size. The reason all of the avatar changes are grouped together in one spot is that back in the day we didn't have drag-and-drop outfit changes -- the only way to change your clothes was to go into Appearance Edit mode. Since you can change your size in Appearance Mode and back then we didn't have code to handle resizing the avatar while it is sitting you would be forced to stand first. It is fixable. We'll try to work it into the schedule. _____________________

Thanks for finding it Cid, I'd tried every combination I could think of, and thought I was going mad!
And lets hope something happens this time around! |
