<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ****************<\/p>\n The first thing to do with your new animesh, we sometimes just call ‘ani<\/strong>‘, is to RENAME<\/span> <\/strong>it to ArtistePalette_01_?<\/strong> <\/span>where ? is a letter between A<\/span><\/strong> and R<\/span><\/strong> in the alphabet.<\/p>\n *********************<\/p>\n In order for the SmartDancer FileCopier<\/strong> to copy animations, scripts, and notecards into animesh\/poseballs, each animesh\/poseball you needs to load\u00a0 FIRST <\/strong><\/span>with the You can use the INITIALIZE <\/strong><\/span>button to automatically copy these 5 files, as a convenience.\u00a0 Advised that the description field be A-A<\/strong> or J-J<\/strong> so that you configure one good animesh for making duplicates to rename.<\/p>\n Also added for\u00a0 ArtistePalette_01_A is a special script called So you could have 5 or 6 files in total as a result of Initialization.<\/p>\n For your safety, honoring best practices as an added precaution, INITIALIZE<\/span> will ONLY initialize animesh\/poseballs named A and\/or J.\u00a0 This is to allow you to use one for animesh (A?) and one for poseballs (J?).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Your goal is to end up with an animesh that looks like the following.<\/p>\n You may have also have extra script(s) or animations that came with the animesh when you bought it.\u00a0 These should have been deleted, those in the root prim<\/span><\/strong>, when you added the PinMe<\/span> <\/strong>script<\/p>\n Sample output from running Initialize from the SmartDancer File Copier, assuming TRACE,off in the *filecopier nc<\/span>,<\/strong>\u00a0is listed below:<\/p>\n [01:51:40] SmartDancer File Copier 4.3: [FILE COPIER] Initialization Started…Please Wait…<\/strong> Should you accidentally run Initialization more than once<\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0 \u00a0the File Copier system is smart enough to remove the existing files and just recopy them again.<\/p>\n ****************<\/p>\n Now with those 5 or 6\u00a0 files<\/strong> loaded, it is easier to transfer animations, scripts, and notecards.\u00a0 This is the bootstrap.<\/p>\n Next, the INSTALL<\/strong> button\/feature is handy for first time preparations because first it DELETES<\/span> <\/strong>any EXISTING<\/strong> animations<\/strong> <\/span>and scripts<\/span> <\/strong>and THEN<\/strong> copies \u00a0the 6 needed animesh scripts,\u00a0 and 1 animation called ‘standing’, bypassing the files and ncs initialized using INITIALIZE<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n **************************** Touch the replicator to bring up its menu.<\/p>\n This handy tool can save you some work, once you have an ideal animesh or poseball.\u00a0 Simply put the range of replications you want in the description field.\u00a0 Example:\u00a0 J-R<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 This will replicate 9 copies<\/strong> of the single animesh\/poseball that you put inside of it.\u00a0 Of course the animesh\/poseball must be copyable.\u00a0 Then press the REPLICATE<\/strong> <\/span>button.<\/p>\n ArtistePalette_01_J<\/span><\/strong> thru **************** The main process you will likely use most often is CopyAnims.\u00a0 <\/strong>Each animesh and poseball must<\/strong> have the animations they plan to use, inside of them.\u00a0 SmartDancer FileCopier<\/strong> makes it easier to load ONLY COPYABLE<\/strong> animations into each of animesh\/poseball.<\/p>\n Place all of the animations you plan to use in your routine inside the SmartDancer FileCopier.\u00a0 <\/strong>Then make sure you limit the animesh\/poseballs to be updated by specifying in the description field of the SmartDancer FileCopier<\/strong>, which animesh\/poseballs are to be updated.<\/p>\n As a convenience, animations will not duplicate<\/strong><\/span> existing animations, just in case you forgot that you already installed an animation.<\/p>\n Examples: After you install new notecards and scripts into your animesh\/poseballs then its time to configure the notecards.\u00a0 Please see the following link: ==>SmartDancer SETUP<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n **************** The only difference between animesh and poseballs is that poseballs have one EXTRA<\/strong> script called:\u00a0 ArtistePoseBallSit (v5.8 – 11-08-20).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Other than copying the ArtistePoseBallSit<\/strong><\/span> into poseballs that avatars use, the only other time you would likely\u00a0 use CopyScripts<\/strong> is if when we might send out an update to an existing script or create a new script for SmartDancer<\/strong>.\u00a0 So these should be rare occasions.<\/p>\n This button\/feature, CopyScripts,<\/strong> is useful when you want to selectively control an update by, maybe, copying particular<\/strong> scripts.\u00a0 The system is smart enough to match<\/strong> existing<\/strong> scripts in the animesh\/poseball and then delete<\/strong> <\/span>them before<\/strong> it copies new scripts of similar name so that there are not duplicate scripts with slightly different names.<\/p>\n When copying scripts, you are allowed an extra method of specifying which animesh\/poseballs will receive updates.\u00a0 Instead of being limited to indicating a range in the description field of the SmartDancer Controller (i.e.\u00a0 J-R, A-I, A-R, etc) you can indicate specific animesh\/poseballs.\u00a0 For example:\u00a0 AGM<\/strong><\/span>, assuming those were maybe dance-leaders of 3 divisions that needed the poseball script… Don’t be misled by a confirmation message saying it installed into animesh A thru M.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> It really just means A,G, and M.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n You will of course need to reset<\/span> <\/strong>your SmartDancer Controller<\/strong> after ANY<\/strong> script copy\/update.\u00a0 Be sure that the *smartdancer<\/strong><\/span> notecard is already in the animesh\/poseball before copying any scripts to avoid needless but harmless error messages.<\/p>\n *smartdancer<\/strong><\/span> I suggest configuring<\/strong> the *smartdancer<\/strong> nc prior<\/strong> to copying it so you only do it once, prior to making copies of your animesh\/poseballs.<\/p>\n Also configure the *filemanager<\/strong> <\/span>nc so that its channels match those of the *filecopier<\/strong> <\/span>nc.\u00a0 Be sure to make your channels unique to avoid collisions with other users even though the system has safeguards as to owner<\/strong>.\u00a0 This will allow you to work on more than one SD<\/strong> configuration at the same time as a safe-guard even though its likely you will separate by animesh\/poseball name (i.e. A-R).<\/p>\n *filemanager<\/strong><\/span> *filecopier<\/strong><\/span> ************************ First, INSTALL<\/strong> <\/span>will delete<\/strong> <\/span>all scripts and animations in the targeted animesh\/poseballs that were not installed with Initialize<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 This is meant to help clean up any animations and scripts that the animesh came with.<\/p>\n The INSTALL<\/strong> <\/span>button\/feature will install (copy<\/span><\/strong>) all scripts that don’t begin with *AA_<\/span> <\/strong>from SmartDancer File Copier<\/strong> into animesh\/poseballs whose letters are within the range of the letters in the description field of the SmartDancer File Copier<\/strong><\/p>\n INSTALL<\/span><\/strong> currently installs one<\/span> <\/strong>default animation<\/span> <\/strong>called ‘standing<\/span><\/strong>‘ and 6 scripts<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 The number of scripts may change in the future but at this writing, it is 6.<\/p>\n You are tasked with copying the poseball script, ArtistePoseBallSit,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> into those poseball objects upon which avatars will be occupying., assuming you did not use its automatic pre-install into ArtistePalette_01_A<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 You can do that by indicating in the description, which objects are to receive the special script called…ArtistePoseBallSit<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
