[10:03] Miranda Barrowstone: Welcome to Safe Waters Foundation weekly aquatic support gathering. My name is Miranda. I will be leading today’s meeting.
[10:03] ???? ???? (AkemiKiyomizu Resident): hello Miranda 🙂
[10:03] Miranda Barrowstone: Welcome new and old aquatics and friends!
[10:03] Miranda Barrowstone: yala ?
[10:03] Miranda Barrowstone: tala even

[10:03] Rei (Nyrei Glendale): Tala 🙂
[10:04] Miranda Barrowstone: well the y and t are close together, its bound to happen
[10:04] Miranda Barrowstone: Safe waters foundation (SWF) is a not-for-profit group supporting the development of harmony and safety for merfolk and aquatics of second life, we bring together designers, retailers, sims, merrow, mermen, mermaids, siren, aquatics and lovers of same.
[10:04] Miranda Barrowstone: People seem to arrive late and depart early. Please don’t be offended but as leader I will try to keep the meeting going. We don’t repeat things for latecomers – a log is posted on our blog after the meeting. This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. we all help each other slive an aquatic lifestyle.
[10:05] Miranda Barrowstone: Because we usually have good attendance – please take a moment to remove all extra attachments and huds. We’d like you to dress low lag. Big poofy hair and jewelry are big culprits, as are bubbles, script things, huds, and such. If we all cooperate, more merfolk can participate with less crashing. Thank you for your help with this.
[10:05] Miranda Barrowstone: so how was your week seafoolk?

[10:09] Miranda Barrowstone: Our priority today is support – mers helping mers – aquatics helping aquatics.
[10:09] Miranda Barrowstone: okay so the order is my introduction-done, introduce the new folks, sharing questions, ideas, and support to help each other-ie; tails, hair, bodies, AOs, requests, etc, then PSAs and promotion of events, sales or what ever else needs to be shared, then I close us out with our goals, maybe a group hug and picture.

[10:19] Keena Pfalz: whatever I do
[10:19] Miranda Barrowstone: well we don’t see it right now… could it be local?
[10:20] ???? ???? (AkemiKiyomizu Resident): If you have an animation that won’t stop, if you go to the menu in your viewer, then Avatar > Avatar Health> Stop Animations & Revoke Permissions. It will stop all animations attached to you and that belong to others that are active on your 🙂
[10:20] Keena Pfalz: not local its work everywhere, right now this podium overraid it
[10:20] Tamarushka (Tamara Czervik): Avatar—Avatar health—Stop Avatar Animations and Revoke Permissions
[10:20] Keena Pfalz: yes Tama, I did that hundered of times, only works shortley
[10:20] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): yeah, sometimes certain animations aren’t properly stopped and they’ll keep on playing

[10:22] Keena Pfalz: let me look
[10:23] Keena Pfalz: NOW, its started
[10:23] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): not only does the script have to request permission, they also fight with each other when playing simultaneously
[10:23] Tamarushka (Tamara Czervik): than try to save your viewr settings and your actual outfit, from the dev menu try to reset to the character test
[10:23] Tamarushka (Tamara Czervik): delete your viewr cache and your viever inventory cache

[10:24] Tamarushka (Tamara Czervik): if you problem is fixed, then reload first your settings
[10:24] ???? ???? (AkemiKiyomizu Resident): cache will not fix an animation issue.
[10:24] Tamarushka (Tamara Czervik): then your outfit
[10:24] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): is that from an AO?

[10:25] Keena Pfalz: I already tried charcter test
[10:25] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): something is triggering the dance animation
[10:25] Tamarushka (Tamara Czervik): she need to delete chace not to fix the animation issue but to force the viewer to re dowload all from LL database

[10:43] Dana Enyo: This is mainly for those with bento tails, or if maybe you’re thinking of one, or have a friend who is…
[10:44] Dana Enyo: I’m wearing what can be a fun enhancement to your tail. Best part is that it costs NOTHING to use with your bento tail.
[10:44] Dana Enyo: You can use any mer AO. Mine happens to be a Kami-Hitoe, but even a freebie will work. The AO gives you your swim/float/sit anims.
[10:44] Ohora Sessa (Cathy Jackson): Yala Dana
[10:44] Dana Enyo: The gadget is called the BENTO – ENHANCED TAIL. It is FREE here:
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Bento-Enhanced-Tail/14142815
[10:45] Dana Enyo: It actually comes with a long puppy tail, which we don’t use.
[10:45] Dana Enyo: The HUD has several different tail anims. It doesn’t know or care that your tail is a mer. Some of the anims don’t work, but several are great.
[10:45] Dana Enyo: Let me demo a moment
[10:45] Keena Pfalz: Its time for me depart, have a good time all
