Modifying an object's texture using the Color Picker window

-
Sometimes you find an object that you really like, but it's not quite perfect. If you could just tweak the textures you'd be happy.

As long as your object has Modify permissions you can change it.

Start by right-clicking on the object you want to change. Here I have a great table from Botanica's Nevermore range. I really like it, but I don't want the blood stains.

To hide them what I did was select the Select Face option button from the top of the Build window. Then click on the object face that I want to change. The table top is blood stained so I selected that face. You'll know you have the correct face selected when it's the surface that has the crosshairs icon showing and the other faces no longer have crossbars displayed.

Below the option buttons and check boxes there are five buttons: General, Object, Features, Texture and Content. Make sure that Texture is selected. The Color begins as white, but to hide the blood stains it needs to be darker. Click on the white button and the Color Picker window opens. You can tint your object any colour you want using this window. On the right you can tint it in various shades of grey. Having selected my preferred grey, I dragged it below to save it for all the bloodied faces in the Nevermore range.

Christmas at The Black Cat Inn

Today is Thanksgiving for our American friends, which means Christmas is now just around the corner and I've started decorating The Black Cat Inn. I've also added food offerings to the Inn. The Boar's Head from Botanica serves free sit-anywhere plates of Roast Boar Christmas dinner, while the back wall is showcasing The Black Cat Inn's menu of to-buy DFS food. For the food pricing I'm going for a realistic pricing structure based on how much it costs to actually make the food and what the median going rate for the item is. This means I won't offer food items at discount, below-cost prices, but I'm also not charging thousands of lindens. So far you can buy the DFS HW Poision (sic) of My Pie Platter for L$150 and I'm selling the DFS HW Cake - Along Came A Spider (which I think would make a fabulous gothic wedding cake) for L$200. There's more to come, with the Witch's Tea set and Harry Potter favourite Shepherds Pie in the works. Love &

LSL: Book giving script 1

-
Image
In my study I have a bookcase that has two shelves filled with books and potion bottles. Those books and bottles are actually one texture on the face of a single prim sold as a wooden bookcase itself called RE Potions & Bottles Cabinet but moved and stretched (or rather cropped) so that all that appears are the contents of two shelves. Then within that one prim cabinet object there is a copy of the giver script from Kira Komarov with the GIVE_TYPE set to 6 and touch_start to only respond to llGetOwner() rather than llDetectedKey() as in my notecard giver . GIVE_TYPE 6 corresponds to objects, so is the type needed to give rezzable books. Remember that llDetectedKey() gives the ID of the last object/avatar to trigger a procedure. I use this bookcase to store my non-transferable books, therefore it's really important to check that avatars that cannot access my books aren't able to try or an error will be thrown. By using llGetOwner, my books ignore requests from
