Welcome to my user page!
Who am I? Well I'm still looking into that. I've been in Second Life since 10/24/2007. I have an in-world store where I sell various things which are usually of the silly type. There are a few things that are so called 'normal' though. Hope you'll stop by and take a peek if you have time. I will leave a slurl once I'm done with this latest move. Currently everything is picked up. You can still check out xstreet though. The name of my store in-world is The Rabidd Tree, or otherwise called TRT. You can find it by going to http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caravane/78/32/24
I enjoy experimenting sometimes and when viewer 2 came out there were quite a few things I didn't care for. Lack of tools, or in some cases where some tools were moved to that I couldn't find. Anyhow, I came across the user skins here in the wiki so I tried one. Then I got into an experimental mood and started doing one of my own. OMG the various files the Second Life viewer uses is unreal. I had no clue, and didn't know about xml files until I began my version of a viewer 2 skin. Also thank goodness other users of Second Life figured out how to put some of the missing buttons back into the viewer. There are a few things I'd like to see back in viewer 2. Off the top of my head one would be the 'right click - pie', and another thing I miss is the display showing you your x,y,z location in whatever sim you're in. If there's an option where I can turn that on that I'm missing I'd be greatful if someone IM'ed me and told me where that is.
Update on Viewer 2: Thank goodness the x,y,z location is showing again. Glad LL added the button options too. I still find it a bit difficult to create with though. For creating, I still wish it was a little more like the original viewer. But I can deal with it as is for the most part.
Oh! A few things are coming to mind for needed changes:
1) the camera pan. I don't care for the restraints when you back your camera view away. If I want to pan back 1000m then that's what I wanna do.
2) another major thing that needs changed. Texturing objects. For example, I make some sculpties using sculptcrafter (you can look that up on xstreet and find it). Those sculpties >>REQUIRE<< a texture to be repeated 256 times on one face. With viewer 2 last I checked you are limited to 100 repeats max. This is unacceptable and will cause me to continue using Emerald (or any other viewer) for creations.
INFORMATIONAL: If you're using Emerald #2 attach points, they won't view properly when being viewed from one of the LL viewers. My wife had a dress and a ring attached to an Emerald #2 spot and I switched to LL Viewer 2 for a quick outfit change. I then panned over and viewed her and everything that was attached to an Emerald #2 spot was screwed up. Try it.
Enough babbling, below is the SL Viewer 2 re-skin that I did. If you're interested in it, be sure that you have the correct version because the files vary between versions and the wrong one will cause your viewer to completely stop in its tracks.
I've also recently added a 2nd re-skin for viewer 2. This one has a purple theme to it by request from my wife. What is it with women and purple anyhow? You can find both skins in the viewer_skins catagory.
These 2 skins will most likely be the only skins I'll be doing. I have like 12 days before my xml editor trial runs out and I just don't have 250 dollars to buy it. Soon as I hit the lotto though I'll be right on top of it!
I can normally be reached in-world by just IM'ing me or drop a notecard if you need help or find any mistakes I've made with this re-skin. I am away/busy quite often though.
Have fun!
