[Opensim-users] n00b questions

[Fish Kungfu]

In order to change your shape, you need to create a new one.  Just go into
your Inventory, choose "Create New Body Part....Shape".  Name the new shape
whatever you like, then double-click it to wear it.  Then go into
Edit/Appearance and click on the "Male" radio button.  Adjust other sliders
accordingly, and Save.  Viola!

As far as the terrain goes, if you want a quick way to make a region flat
just follow the quick and easy steps found here:
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Tweaking

Basically,

1.  Go to the console....
2.  Type:     change-region <region name>
3.  Type:     terrain fill 25

I have 4 regions running, I made 3 flat at 25 meters, and the other is at
15, giving me a 5 meter deep water area.  Nothing fancy but a nice place to
work.

Have fun!   ~~Fish~~
