[Opensim-users] Troubles with OAR and IAR files following HD crash

Tue Apr 24 15:05:23 UTC 2012

Also, FWIW, I confirmed the same symptom with the IAR file that I saw with
the OAR file.  Import the IAR file into a different grid  and no errors are
reported, but when the box is rezzed and the item contents copied to
inventory, the shirt item appears in inventory but the texture is missing
when you you wear it.

So it looks like when I originally restored the region from OAR file, some
of the clothing items in boxes did not restore properly.  It looked like
they did though, and it still doesn't make sense to me that the box sitting
on the restored region contains an item with texture that works fine (as
far as I can tell), but trying to make another copy of it doesn't work.

I guess I'll have to test each item one by one to see which ones are
broken.  What a bummer.  :(
