[Opensim-users] Avatar texture corruption

Sun Feb 17 03:42:00 UTC 2013

I ran the suggested test using half of my regions, 24 of them.  I can't 
run two instances of Firestorm and my entire grid at once at least for 
now.  I was foreced to hit CTRL-ALT-R at the very start. Not only have I 
found your problem seems to exist, but the first avatar to log into an 
instance sees itself as fine, and will see the next avatar to appear in 
the same instance and region, but the new avatar takes a while to rez 
and can't see the avatar that logged in just in before them.  I hit the 
CTRL-ALT-R so I could start the steps before crossing the border with 
two avatars that could at least see each other to begin with.  That 
itself is a growing problem,  when I start to have larger groups of 
visitors it will be ver bothersome.

Once I logged both avatars, my wife's as well as mine, I used the 
"appearance show command", on my avatar as follows.

Region (root) # appearance show InuYasha Meiji
For InuYasha Meiji in Hantagawa
Bake Type  UUID

InuYasha Meiji baked appearance texture is OK

I left my wife's avatar standing on the first instance on the region and 
then walked across to the next region, nearby to the next instance and 
got this result.  This time neither of us lost the other's textures.  It 
could be because I rebaked before when we shared the same instance and 
region.  Also I am using the same machine to log on to each of our 
accounts.  Checking the "appearance show command" now, on the region and 
instance I just moved onto... Different from the one my wife's avatar is 
standing.  Even though in the newest Firestome v4.3.1. 31155 (opensim 
version) I use, bpth see each other.  The results do show an issue. here...

Region (root) # appearance show InuYasha Meiji
For InuYasha Meiji in Shuri Village
Bake Type  UUID
Head       not set
UpperBody  not set
LowerBody  not set
Eyes       not set
Skirt      not set
Hair       not set
InuYasha Meiji baked appearance texture is corrupt
Region (root) #

I hope this test helps.

Your Friend,
InuYasha
