$$$$$$$$ 03-15-18 $$$$$$$$<\/strong><\/p>\n

F.\u00a0<\/span> Operational Processes
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong>1. RESET Mover-Palettes<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/span>You must reset palettes that are movers after you move them to a new location (usually the show-venue) after doing a reorientation\u00a0so they acclamate to the new anchor. BE SURE to REZ your ANCHOR first\u00a0at the new locale or your movers wont move.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/em>When using the Turn<\/strong> command in the *moves<\/strong> nc, you MUST<\/strong> have IncludeRotations,<\/strong><\/span>off<\/strong> <\/span>in the same *moves nc.
\nWhen IncludeRotations<\/strong>,on<\/strong> <\/span>then you will ROTATE<\/strong> while MOVING<\/strong> and\u00a0 explicit Turn<\/strong> commands in the *moves nc\u00a0 will be IGNORED<\/span><\/strong>.
\n<\/del>Nov 1st:<\/span> IncludeRotations has been disabled since it has caused problems and also nobody ever uses it.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. DancersInGroup<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nYou may get innocuous but benign error messages if you have fewer dancers dancing than you invited. It is recommended that you don’t have DancersInGroup<\/span> <\/strong>more than the actual number of dancers you invite. Keep that number tight. This is in the *sequences<\/strong> <\/span>nc.<\/p>\n

4. Use InitialPoseA (B, C, D) instead of InitialPose<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

J.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Outstanding Issues<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>1. Advanced Movers using Markers<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Set Reorientation<\/strong>\u00a0solution has been deprecated and it is strongly suggest you use the new method using Mover-Reorientation\u00a0 (ori)<\/strong>. It is simpler and more reliable.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Emote Detail Lines<\/span>
\n<\/em><\/strong>Please make all detail line numbers 2 digits or else you will get truncated emotes.<\/span>

\nAnd not\u00a0this: 3,\/Me removes my belt<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

K.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> Tips and Tricks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0ArtisteAdjuster<\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/span>It tends to not move the avatar consistently when moved though you can fake it. Tip is that once you get a good height and centered position on the Palette, simply copy and reuse that vector\/rotation pair in the *palette nc for the DefaultSitTarget.
\nExample:\u00a0DefaultSitTarget,<0.02710, -0.06264, 1.00366>,<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000, 1.00000>
\n<\/span><\/strong>Avatars can always use PGUP\/PGDN for final custom adjustments<\/p>\n

2. Saving Memory
\n<\/strong><\/em>If you are not using AutoStrip, you can save memory in the Stripper script that can on occasion run out of memory (Stack-Heap) if you reducand delete all the other 19 entries.e the number of entries on the *orders01 nc to the last needed group. If you are not using any then just leave the 1st entry as in <\/span>1,none\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Controlling\u00a0Message Board via AutoFX<\/span><\/em><\/strong>
\nArtiste Message Board<\/strong> is designed to work using AutoAnnounce<\/strong>. It works fine. A work around or alternate method though is that you can use a special format of an AutoFX<\/strong> command using double “%<\/strong><\/span>“.
\nExample:
\n1,R8<\/span>=5$R8<\/span>=1%%<\/span>This is line 1$R8<\/span>=2%%<\/span>and this is line number 2$<\/strong><\/p>\n
