So…this new methodology allows you to use a MIX of ANIMESH<\/strong> and AVATARS<\/strong> and keep them in relative ANIMATION SYNC.<\/strong>\u00a0 It also allows for DIVISION ING<\/strong> (A,B,C,D).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You will use CUSTOM_ABBACDA<\/strong><\/span> (as example) on the *sequences nc to assign GROUPS.<\/p>\n

The first A will be assigned to ANIMESH and\/or AVATAR with an A or J in the 19th position of its name (usually you will only be dealing with A-I or J-R)<\/p>\n

The next position, B will be assigned to ANIMESH or AVATAR with a B and\/or K in the 19th position of its name.<\/p>\n

The next position, B will be assigned to ANIMESH or AVATAR with a C and\/or L in the 19th position of its name. etc etc<\/p>\n

This version, marked by v12.xx in the HUD requires:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1 – The HUD v12.xx<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 – A NEW Palette with proper naming and special ANIMESH script<\/strong><\/p>\n

3 – A NEW ANCHOR v3.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 – One to 9 COPY\/MOD ANIMESH with special script and nc\u00a0 embedded.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 – (OPTIONAL)\u00a0 SmartDancer Controller for FORMATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

WARNING<\/strong><\/span>: You MUST RESET<\/strong> the HUD after any RESET on a PALETTE.<\/p>\n

So, Ok I have switched from TROUPE-based<\/strong> where DIVISIONS(A,B,C,D) are assigned by name….<\/p>\n

TO<\/p>\n

PALETTE-based<\/strong> where DIVISIONS are assigned by Palette-Name, more to the point.\u00a0 So it is a switch from WHO you are to WHERE you are.<\/p>\n

HUD CONTROL<\/strong><\/p>\n

*autofx<\/p>\n

To play groups you use the following autofx commands when SequenceOnPlay,0<\/span>\u00a0 These will start on an event and events have to be at least 1 second after play. To start at time zero use SequenceOnPlay,7<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nGroupSeq=A<\/strong>
\nGroupSeq=B
\nGroupSeq=C<\/strong>
\nGroupSeq=D<\/strong><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

GroupSeq=ABCD<\/strong>\u00a0 will start ALL<\/strong> groups at same time.<\/p>\n

Set SequenceOnPlay<\/strong> to 7 and its the same as starting all groups as soon as PLAY button is pressed.\u00a0 Similar to GroupSeq=ABCD but at time zero instead of a time 1 second\u00a0 or greater.<\/p>\n

(GroupSeq=ABCD)\u00a0 is no longer fixed at group assignments as before and now relies on the Division entry in *sequences.\u00a0 Totally configurable instead of hard-assigned.\u00a0 i.e. CUSTOM_????????? where ????????? is any combination of GROUPS A,B,C, or D.<\/p>\n

And for ADVANCED GURUS, you can CHANGE<\/strong> the GROUPING<\/strong> on the FLY using an *autofx command DivisionPaletteChange<\/strong>=,\u00a0 but wont take effect until the next dance change in the sequence. In essence you are changing the CUSTOM_???????? entry dynamically.\u00a0 This allows for tricky grouping changes.<\/p>\n

PERMISSIONS\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Permissions are controlled in the PALETTE for avatars and NOT in the HUD as before. Of course ANIMESH need no permissions as its assumed.<\/p>\n

SO…<\/p>\n

NO MORE<\/strong><\/p>\n

NO MORE dancer scripts in the HUD. ALL 9 are GONE!
\nNo more failed dancer invites.<\/p>\n

Also no need for ExcludeHudOwner<\/strong>. It is now gone.
\nUseTroupeForDivs<\/strong> gone.
\nABorder<\/strong> has been gone.<\/p>\n

Be sure that at least the ABILITY for Animatable<\/strong> is ON in the *palette nc in the Palette.<\/p>\n

UNATTENDED OPERATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

An little known feature that has been in the HUD<\/strong> for some time\u00a0 is DANCE CHAINING<\/strong> and\u00a0RANDOM DANCE<\/strong> and DANCE LOOPING.\u00a0 <\/strong>Someone wanted unattended performance but never followed thru on its use.<\/p>\n

Random Dance AND Dance Looping CAN be combined.\u00a0 I will be making sure they work for ANIMESH too with further testing.\u00a0 This allows for ANIMESH AI.\u00a0 It will still require a rezzed HUD be left at the show-place.<\/p>\n

ANIMATION TRANSFER<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dark-side is that animations must be copied into the Palettes AND in the ANIMESH.<\/p>\n

I have a tool to make that easier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Animation Transfer \/ FileCopy<\/strong> box.\u00a0 It can:<\/p>\n

COPY all the animations in its box TO all ANIMESH and PALETTES within 20 meters that have the letter A thru R in the 19th position.<\/p>\n

Example:\u00a0 ArtistePalette_01_K<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can also KILL\/DELETE all ANIMATIONS that are NON-COPY into objects with an A thru R in the 19th position that ALSO have the special ANIMESH script.\u00a0 It can ALSO delete all animations inside of ITSELF.<\/p>\n

In conjunction with SmartDancer<\/strong> for Formation control I have embedded and tested the ANIMESH with SmartDancer script embedded and they work as expected since they are an object just like the TALL-BOTS and Palettes.<\/p>\n

SmartDancer<\/strong><\/p>\n
