INTERACTING WITH THE BUILDER
Okay, so now that you know how to access the avatar builder and a little bit about ghosting, how do you actually use the the thing?
1.
Item Database vs. Inventory
The pull down menu highlighted as number 1 allows you to switch between all the items on gaia and the items in your (or the person your ghosting) inventory.
2.
Making Items Appear:So, I'm sure you've noticed if you've pulled up the avatar builder yourself that there aren't actually any items to BUILD with there. You fix that by hitting the handy go button--if you've put nothing in the search bar, it will pull all the items on gaia or all the items from your or the person you're ghosting's inventory, depending on what you put the pull down menu on.
3.
Saving an AvatarThe Save Image button is a lie and if you press it, it will only lead to hard times and a long journey.
Instead, use the handy BBC code generator! Click on the appropriate link, male, female, or paw, and it generates bbc code that you can post in the forums to display your creation and all the items on it! Simply copy the code and paste it into your post.
4.
Getting NAKED. the buttons are pretty much what they say on the tin-- I believe they've fixed this error, but if you have trouble getting an item to remove with the "get naked" button, try reloading the building and unequipping each item individually. It's a pain, but it works.
The reset button, also located by get naked, puts back the outfit the avatar was originally wearing, just like the buttons in your inventory.
5.
Selecting a baseYou can use this feature to see how your avatar would look with any of gaias many bases.
Note: if you have human avatar items equipped, they won't show up on a paw avatar, you'll have to locate the paw equivalent item with the search bar.
