We are still alive!

Don't believe old bitter men. We live in a drama-free grid. Everything runs quickly and smoothly. It is a pleasure to be here. And we didn't have to pay 5.00 Euros to restore our inventory. It was only 1.00 Euro to ensure that fakes and bots do not rush back onto the grid to ensure that your inventory is backed up free of charge. And nothing else...

Thank you for your post @Thirza

A carful of too lazy to work thieves tried to sneak into my home late Christmas night. They found out real quick amputee does not always=helpless. An old grey maned wolf with a missing leg still has fangs... heh. Rebelworld is running, but PC still has issues from the most recent breakin during my last hospitalization. Apologies if you experience any lag, or brain hiccups. Happy New Year ya'll, :) hugs n high 5's

I don't usually support mesh bodies that have got nothing to do with Ruth2 or Roth2. But I've come across an improvement trick for Athena 6 with BoM that nobody seems to know.

The major problem is that the skin on Athena 6's limbs may look weird under certain viewer settings, much like a lighting bug. Some skin areas look brighter or darker than they should.

A minor problem is that alpha masks don't work on Athena 6 although they technically should with BoM.

The reason is because Athena 6 has a chaotic hodge-podge of alpha settings all over it. Parts are set to alpha masking, more parts are set to alpha blending (it's them which may look weird to you or to others), most have alpha off (this is why alpha masks don't work on Athena 6 out of the box).

The solution:

Step 1: Edit your Athena 6 body. All of it, not just any piece. Select it in your inventory while wearing it.

Step 2: Go to the Texture tab.

Step 3: Set the alpha mode to alpha masking.

Now the different shades of skin colour are gone, but your hands and feet may turn partially white. Don't panic, this is supposed to happen and will be fixed in the next steps.

Step 4: Set the mask cutoff to 128. If it is already 128, set it to 127 and back to 128.

The white should disappear, and your body should look normal again. Or better than what you saw previously.

Step 5: Take the body off and put it back on to save the new settings.

Also, you can now wear alpha masks like you can on the system body which might save you from the hassles that come with the alpha cuts on the HUD, and which you can save with outfits. The only limitation is that the alpha masks still don't work on fingernails and toenails.

Should alpha masks stop wearing, just edit the body and set the mask cutoff to 127 and back to 128.

The same method should work on Adonis 4 if you want to use alpha masks with BoM.

Oh, and before anyone tries this on Ruth2 v4 or Roth2 v2: You don't have to, at least not with the "BoM" bodies and Ruth2 v4 "Business". They've got alpha mode controls on the HUD. The "0.8.2.1" versions, on the other hand, are de-scripted and have no HUD, so they require this trick, too, if alpha masks don't work.

Hot Daddy's Road Trip to The Golden Ballroom for Wyldwood Bayou Grid's Winter Fo...
Where: Hot Daddy's (Golden Dreams Ballroom on Isla Pacifica)
When: Monday 6:00PM [27 Dec 2021 18:00 SLT]
'Twas a night (or 2!) after Christmas and all through the grid.....was a bunch of crazy people wanting to get as much holiday into one week as possible!! Tonite, DJ Ray takes us on a road trip to The Golden Ballroom on Isla Pacifica in Wyldwood Bayou Grid for our not so mid-winter formal! Ray is a long time Ballroom DJ (and a ton of other genres!) and will have a wonderful multi-genre set of tunes for us tonite, including some exciting swing, sexy latin and that ohh so romantic waltz! Don't have a date? NO PROBLEM! Ballroom is not only for couples! It's for everyone just wanting to meet up with friends, meet new friends and just have fun with some amazing music! We call it formal and it's in a ballroom, and if you want to wear all your glittering gowns and tuxes, do it! If not, come in whatever you are comfy in! This is going to be the biggest and best party between Christmas and New Year's Eve that anyone has ever seen! Friends, fun and music! We've got it all tonite! See you there!!

Fae Hud & Necklace Fixes...
Whoopsy! I've fixed some bugs in the necklace that would not allow you to see the butterfly body of the fae chariot. Also When you sat on the fae chariot you would go half way invisible. Fixed that as well. Also the fae chariot wouldn't die when you closed the hud. Fixed as well. Get your updated copy at Free Magic.
p.s. I'm working on a witches hud next, and would like to solicit ideas from would-be witches for spells in the hud, if interested contact me with your ideas. :) I'm either in LBSA in osgrid, or at LoveGlo Castle, Castle DragonFyre, Free Magic, CyberCity, or my secretlab in cyberdatastorm.com:8002
