[Opensim-users] Grey avatars & no hair or eyes!

[Kevin Buckley]

OK - some progress.  I am running standalone - but I have created a number
of different 'Regions' (defined in Regions.ini).  I have one AV 'homed' in
one region (set during 'create user' - at 1000,1000 for example) and another
in a different region (at 500,500 for example).

Each AV sees itself OK (except for the white eyes!).  If I TP one AV so they
are now both standing next to each other, then each one sees the other grey.

HOWEVER - if I give the visitor AV a copy of some body parts (skin, hair
etc.) and he wears them, hey presto!! He becomes visible!

However, if we TP to another region, then it's back to grey.

So a few questions:

1) Are you allowed to have regions in standalone mode?
2) Do I need to enable or config something to enable assets to follow the AV
from region to region?

Thanks, Kevin

Thanks Bill.  I tried logging into OSGrid - no problem, no grey avatars.  So
I downloaded the latest OSGrid release from there (rather than r0.6.7),
changed it to Standalone (Opensim.ini, Standalonecommon.ini) and ran on my
server (I even used a shiny new MySQL database).

Same problem.  Other avatars are grey and my eyes (not my hair now) are
white.  If I edit appearance they change colour for a few seconds then
revert to white.

So seemingly it must either be related to operating Standalone, or there's
something about my PC/software (Windows XP SP2, Pentium processor) which is
causing it.

It's very frustrating when you do the same as everyone else (allegedly!) but
YOUR build behaves differently!

Hi Kevin,

Well, I sweated this gray clothes blank hair and eyes thing for 2
days. I redid the body parts and eyes again and again. Finally, I
logged in one time and it was all good.

But that is too much work for a production machine, so I moved the
school back onto the Diva distro, which does not have this problem.

Here is some old info from the SL blog that I was getting ready to try
when my avatar finally decided not to be a ghoul:

At https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/opensim-dev/2008-September/003133.html

I find this:

and for what its worth... just for kicks I added a 5 second sleep into
the inventory retrieval in the mysql inventory module, it fixes the
gray avatar problem. which seems to indicate that the client is
expecting a particular order... and speeding up inventory retrieval
broke that ordering.

And these might help:

Good luck,
