Definitely seeing this on my own avatar. Interestingly enough the skirts will show when in appearance mode but promptly disappear upon exit. Also, when the textures are still loading the skirt appears and then disappears when it is fully loaded.
I forgot to add that clearing network cache etc. appears to have no effect. Didn't see this behavior at all until Windlight viewer was installed.
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 (Unknown model) (3013 MHz) Memory: 2048 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Build 2600) Graphics Card Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc. Graphics Card: Radeon X1300/X1550 Series x86/SSE2 OpenGL Version: 2.0.6956 WinXP Release LLMozLib Version: 1.1.0 (Mozilla GRE:1.8.0.12_0000000000) I can see the same behavior with the 1.18.4 release, the 1.18.5 release candidate and the latest Windlight viewer. Me too noticed it first after installing Windlight, but it happens in all viewers now.
CPU: AMD (Unknown model) (2511 MHz) Memory: 4094 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows Vista (Build 6000) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: GeForce 8500 GT/PCI/SSE2 OpenGL Version: 2.1.1 LLMozLib Version: 1.1.0 (Mozilla GRE:1.8.0.12_0000000000) Packets Lost: 4/2926 (0.1%) Viewer Digest: 5d704dc5-72dc-f8ab-0dcc-dc1497bebe16 I just had it with the Windlight: No skirt, except in appearance mode.
I re-logged with 1.18.4 (3) without changing my clothes, and the skirt is back. The I tried 1.18.5 (0) Nov 13 2007 10:25:05 (Second Life Release Candidate), and I wear the skirt. S it is only the windlight where I don't wear a skirt. I asked other people if they can see my skirt and they denied, but they did not have the windlight viewer running. How weird is that? If this would affect a mandatory viewer, I would classify it as a show-stopper. I also saw this problem propogate to the other releases, windlight, rc, normal viewers, on the same skirt.
Another item of note is that the skirt in question is modify and in edit appearance mode it doesn't show the texture box. I tried all three Avatar Rendering options in the graphics detail preferences, no effect. I tried editing skirt parameters and saving, length, poofy, etc., no effect. I tried changing color from white to the light grey from the palette and saved in normal viewer and after saving and closing appearance mode the skirt then didn't vanish. I entered edit appearance mode again and set the color back to white, saved and closed appearance mode and the skirt once again didn't vanish. Still in edit mode there is no texture selection box for this skirt. Confirmed also that other avatars can see the skirt now too. Oh, also, one of the no-modify skirts I have that's doing this is still showing only in appearance mode and of course I can't perform the steps listed above since it's no mod. Is this some sort of inventory corruption?
I am experiencing the same problem with WindLight. The skirt on my avatar just disappeared, and when I went to edit it, I couldn't see it any longer.
I was able to make a new skirt, but when I tried to alter it it disappeared as well. This is rather frustrating! Other avatars could not see me with a skirt on either. I was thankfully able to get back into the normal client and "re-bake" the texture, but this is frustrating! Fortunately, I was not wearing a "No Modify" skirt. I really like the look of Windlight, but not at the expense of my Avatar's skirts! A friend and I got the same outfit in different colors Saturday to wear to an event Sunday. We took pictures Sunday morning after relogging, then logged out. Later, I changed for a different event, then changed back for the event Sunday evening. On the way to the event I experienced the a TP crash, then after logging back in...
On my Windlight viewer I could see her skirt but not mine. She could however, see mine on her old viewer. Taking it off and putting it back on did not make it reappear to me unfortunately. I checked around and Mick Linden in QA noticed this bug too -- I've edited this issue because it appears to originate in WindLight, but as noted, propagates to other viewers after the problem has already happened. Can anyone actually *cause* the system skirt to disappear in another version?
In any case, I'll ask for further info... I've had 2 customers complain that their skirt actually *changed color* from white to brown. The skirt is no mod, and it's actually 2 different skirts that were created completely separate from each other. There's no way that the customer could have done this themselves. I'm asking them to check their versions of the viewers.
I tried this, since I knew about this bug, in the current release candidate (not windlight):
- I copied the skirt - I got dressed. everything was visible. Fine. - I teleported and the skirt dissapeared - I put on the copy, but it is invisible too! Damn, my nice skirt!! This is a very nasty bug!! I set it to critical, because it is a loss of data.
The listed workaround works fine for skirts if you have permissions to modify them, but for those you do not have permissions to modify, I've found the following works just as well.
Go into edit appearance Goto the skirt tab Remove the skirt (don't close Edit Appearance) Wear the skirt again Now close Edit appearance If you do it this way, the skirt tends to not disappear. On the other hand, every time I try to wear it without being in Editing Appearance mode, the skirt will vanish except for a funky little oval on my left leg. I hope this workaround helps someone. The bottom half of my men's coat disappeared today. It only fixed when i adjusted the flounciness up and down a few times. It still tends to disappear again after TPs. As stated, the fix only works on mod items, and it's very random as to when ot works or not. Most annoying as it ruins the outfit to only wear half a coat. Just glad I'm not a lady: I'd end up indecently exposed in my bloomers.
I tried recreating one of my mermaid tails (skirt)...and it stayed on for a while...until I had to TP to someone's business and got there half-naked! So embarrassing...
I tried returning to the old client, and now I have the problem there too...like ya'll have mentioned. The skirt is a vital part of my business. Nevermind the leopard undies...where is my skirt?
Just noticed an interesting effect. I had two skirts disappearing, one with mod permissions, one without. Using 1.18.5 RC1 viewer, I tried to use above workaround. It was sufficient to move the top skirt slider to 0 and back to 100 and then exit appearance mode, the skirt was visible again.
After that, I wore the no-mod skirt and it was visible too! Looks like fixing one skirt also fixed the other. Can anyone confirm this observation, or was it just a coincidence? If not it is a nice way for making no-mod skirts reappear. This happens with almost all of my skirts. I found them to reappear after rebaking textures (Cmd+Alt+R on a Mac). Though I can't really say if others can see them fine, I'm suspecting they can, because if not, at least my friends would have dropped a note or something about me looking a little undressed.
