[Archived - 4u] Changing Icons

Posted by “Drosselmeyer” on June 04, 2022.

I have updated the ticket to include these items. I think there was a reason why Controls was behind and Unlock. Maybe something to do with derivability?

Thanks @Drosselmeyer​ As far as implementing the feature...

That's the way Pioneers do things. The more traveled the road, the better it gets!

Everything is better in time. Too bad IMVU cannot double their engineering team :/

It "should not" matter but that is interesting. Whether you use an empty clothing or the empty accessory (attachment) is up to you. The attachment product allows you to build a skeleton the is independent of the avatar. This could be used to simply attach the particle system to a node (bone) which orbits the root node.

Emission. Yeah, it does now work in Studio, but unfortunately this change was not coordinated with the other platforms so it will not show up until they implement the feature. :(

@Drosselmeyer​ Oh and one more thing with shines and emissions, that company I presume IMVU staff is working with doing all the rooms, they have the light set at like 100% white so nearly every second imvu+ room you enter, shines and emissions are a no go to wear as they are way to bright compared to how they look in base client rooms. Can I suggest we have something so the user can adjust the shine themselves, because its really room specific, they look shiny or just blinding light and mostly.. its blinding light if made to suit the base developer rooms.

@Drosselmeyer​  We get much better icons if we make particles as clothing over accessories, is that by design? maybe I missed something and that's the way IMVU want them done? Also if we add emission it shows in Studio but not in the try it window or new clients, but its certainly there in studio, is emission not switched on yet? will it be? and will it be done the same way as textures?

Yes, if the icon is Studio Generated, it should be allowed without Peer Review. If programming is required, can we please ask to change a couple things more?

Please consider these changes too?

• Product "Control" Settings without Unlock or Peer Review?
• Change "Search Keywords" without unlock but with Peer Review?
• Change product title or "Name" without unlock but with Peer Review?
• Change to AP (if GA) without Unlock but with Peer Review?
• Chance avatar "Compatibility" (80,191, etc)

If scripting or programming, perhaps do it all at once? If only a tiny change is permissible, I would vote for the Icons as you outlined...

Thanks you @Drosselmeyer​ !!! everyone here can see you and the team care about IMVU and the Creator Tools. Thank you so much! :-)

I have an inquiry in about the updating of the Next Shop Images, but unfortunately the person who would know the answer and/or solve the issue is on vacation. It might be a bit before I have an answer.

To be more specific, I have created an improvement ticket to allow resubmit without unlocking when changing icons, profit, name, display only. Basically, make Studio do what the classic web product page does. For the Next Shop Image there is no reason why this needs to go through PR or require an unlock and since Studio is the only place this image can be changed, we need to add this functionality to Studio. At least that is my pitch ;)

@BunnyCakes​ This is a new one for me. I will look into it.

Goldi had the same issue today on recolor, pre-submissions. When she looked she thought she would have to do some of them again, then reopened them and they were correct. Weird. I wonder if there is an issue to and from the Studio Servers.

@BunnyCakes​ , yeah that as well, its super annoying.

@LestatDeLioncourt​  Particle is now showing pink bubble in the assets! NFI why or how but it is!

Make sure you main avatar is not wearing the product. I know you probably know this but with studio for some reason it doesnt remove the products that are the same. I have had a bunch of weird issues because of this. So I make sure my main saved avatar isnt wearing anything that I'm making.

Posted by “LestatDeLioncourt” on June 01, 2022.

I have seen the same thing *and* even materials Not updating in the Icons or in the product edit windows BUT the final submitted product shows correct.

What I did was edit again by opening the product fresh and then the icon and the Studio displayed materials along with the product all match.

Wow that was a mouthful. I bet @Drosselmeyer​ Would be interested in this too :)

@Drosselmeyer​ 

Puzzle of the day

I made blue bubbles for the avatar when it had passed peer I opened in studio, changed the blue bubble to a pink and submitted as a new product, if you try it on or I edit in Studio.. Its pink bubbles!

But if you look at the assets tab or even open the assets folder, the bubble is blue and there's no pink one to be seen in the assets.. but the product shows pink.

And no they're not coloured on script :P

Most of my products are derive locked and I will have to turn in Help Ticket on each one to change the icons :/ Once I have time for the process (next 10 days), I will be turning in 20 to 100 items a day so I can edit icons in studio.

My question is why do we have to get permission to edit icons on derive-locked products? The product is Not Changed. Only the Marketing Side is Changed.
