Avatar builder. Are you currently working on adding a color sorting feature?


Yes, it will be part of the new tagging system.

I know this may seem odd, but is there any chance of different avi bases? What I mean by that is could we possibly get a skinnier male base and a buffer/butcher looking female base? That'd be really nice!


Different shaped bases don't tend to play well with our items, unfortunately. That isn't to say it won't ever happen, but I would say it is unlikely any time soon. However, we now have a wide variety of body mods that can help you achieve a different shape! If you want something specific, your fellow Gaians in Avatar Talk can help you find what we have!

For the past several weeks I've been getting a "General Error invalid-owner" message when trying to access the avi builder. Is there any way to fix this?


I've just deleted your data from the avatar builder table in the database. When the site cache expires this issues should be fixed for you. It may take a day to expire though, so try again around this time tomorrow. ...Sorry for having to make you wait, I don't have something offhand that will clear the cache for your data.

I put the wrong user number in Avatar Builder and locked myself out. I tried clearing my cache but that didn't help and it didn't reset last time you guys took Avatar Builder down for maintenance. Is there a way for me to reset it when it comes back on?


I don't think I fully understand the problem your having, can you elaborate a bit more? What do you mean by you locked yourself out?


I get a message that says invalid user data or something and could not find user, but there is no way for me to go back and put a different user data in. Whenever I click on the avatar builder that is the only message I get.


Sounds like your data somehow became corrupted. I've completely removed your ava from the builder database but you may have to wait for the data to cache bust before you can use it again. That may take anywhere from now to 24 hours. :/

Often when I change my avatar, I notice that you capped outfit slots at 31...

Why not 32? xD There's one lonely empty space at the bottom right. Well that's a waste :{o

Although I'm sure there are some who would like even more slots added, or even infinite. I personally only need one more space at the moment, but new items could change that at any time. pirate


There was not a specific reason for capping it at 31, that's just where it ended up . We can take a look at increasing it but at the moment I would expect it to remain.

Hey! In the avvie builder, EIs have not formatting correctly for me nor any of my friends--they were too long which led to no one being able to use the end poses and you couldn't not X out of them because the X was at the end that refused to show. Is there any way you guys can fix this?

Yeah, we might be able to do something where pressing "Esc" or something will also close it out.

My biggest complaint atm is that when you ghost someone, it stays in ghosting mode UNTIL you delete the users ghosting ID in it, and put your own. Can there be a better way to stop ghosting someone instead of this? Or am I missing a '' stop ghosting '' button somewhere?


We are open to suggestions.

A while back, there was a staff alert about working on the avi builder so that it doesn't have to be disabled whenever there's an event or rig. Can you tell us when to expect this?


Update: The system is in place and we're just working out the final bugs. biggrin No time frame to share, but the project is progressing nicely!

Y'all have been pretty mum about the tagging system update. Any good news about it you can share? emotion_kirakira


It's delayed due to the issues with Avibuilder. The systems are supposed to work in tandem so until we can get Avibuilder addressed it's on hold. In case you're wondering we do have personnel looking at Avibuilder optimizations and improvements at this very moment, but I don't have an update on their progress at this time.

So more than a month ago the builder kicked me out. I was ghosting an user bc I wanted to buy stuff from their inventory, but the avatar builder said the user had no items, so I entered "0" to stop ghosting them and see my own avatar/inventory and once I pressed enter the screen changed and before the builder was disabled it only said "General Error - invalid-owner". Every time the builder is up again that's what I keep getting. I posted in the bug reporting thread about a day after it stopped working for me, but I never got an answer. Please help, I use it a lot crying


Once the builder is up again, send me a PM so it can be addressed. No point at the moment since it's offline. :/

I have noticed that when I am dressing up my avi and when I go to search I type in, lets say gold, it will show Page: 1 Page: 2 and when I go click page 2 it says "Use the search bar to search your inventory.

Your search must be at least two characters long."

Is this a glitch or something else?

Strange, sounds like a glitch, we'll pass it along!

SUPER excited about your commenting on future Purity of Bara items! gonk heart

Gwaha, on to my main question though.

Features:

More outfit slots.

I know, I'm probably beating a dead horse. But I will be honest with you: I've been making a TON of neat outfit ideas and it's looking like I'd need more slots than 50 to have them all conveniently saved.

As a result of the outfit-making, my wishlist has grown quite a bit. But I don't have the gold or gaia cash to afford everything, let alone the outfit slots. At this point, the only thing that'll motivate me to buy Gaia Cash IS if we had more slots to work with! x_x

I promise you: I will buy quite a bit to get the stuff I'm after--but only if I have the slots to even put them. You would make a profit; probably from anyone as outfit-crazy as I am. Even if you made the outfit slots cost a tiny bit of Gaia Cash themselves. 3nodding


New outfit slots would be awesome!
I know it is something that we've discussed, but I'm not sure if we'll be implementing it anytime soon.

Yeah, what's being done with the avatar builder? I have yet to be able to use it even once. I'm sorry if this is a redundant question, I just haven't seen any updates for it (other than the staff update saying it works and to go try it, but it has never worked for me).

We're still working on it and improving some of the functionality and data load of the system. When we have an update we will make a staff notice!

So since I paid for a ton of outfit slots before extra "free" outfits slots were released, I sent a billing ticket roughly two weeks ago and I still haven't gotten a response. Is the staff simply busy or has my ticket been lost? Should I file another ticket?

I do see that there was a reply to your ticket, have you checked your spam folder for the e-mail? Additionally, there were no free outfit slots that were given. If you had the maximum number of outfit slots before the expansion, then you had to spend the extra Gaia Cash to get them.

So is avatar builder ever going to be back up, at least any time soon? It's been a really long time.


Hey there! We have someone actively working on it. We don't have an exact date that it will be back up, but we are hoping to run another site wide test soon.

Thank you for your patience!

ITEMS

the last one for today, i promise

Will the tags for certain items be fixed?
For example, when I want to view the item set 'Seven Days,'
if I type in 'seven' or '7' nothing works. I then have to type in
'days' and go through the giant list of items in that tag. The
same goes for the Day Zero series.


If you private message me some specific items, I can look into it!

How often can we expect the Mis-tagged Items reported in that thread to be addressed?

We try to go through it some every day but no guarantees on how long it takes!

Not really a question, but I was playing with the avatar builder while I had a paw base equipped. I thought it was a little weird when I selected a human skin that it showed the generic male avatar I usually see under my human base whenever I pick to show the other gender. So I decide to look for an item I know is in my inventory to see how it looks with some other items I selected from the database. Nothing shows up. So I type a description to try to pull it up in case I was misspelling the name. Lo and behold, the only items that show up are for the paw base, but the base I’m using in the builder isn’t a paw. I try a few other items and sure enough, I cannot search for anything that can be equipped except for the base I am using outside the builder.


Hmm, we'll take a look at this.

Is there a way to separate the human items from
paw items in the avi builder? It's pretty annoying
to see all of the paw items even though you're
working on a human base and vice versa. ; w ;


Yeah, this is a bug.

my friend was pmed by a guy saying that ghosting items is reportable. I know that if you wear multiples of the same item it doesn't show up on your equipped list and they threatened to report him. is that reportable?

If we find you ghosting items your avatar could be resaved, but generally not something you will be banned over unless we have a reason to believe it is being abused.
