The Importance of renaming your breedables

Filed Under : All,Horse Information,K9 Information by Tmzasz Luminos
Sep.16,2012

Hello everyone its the webmaster here, as all of you know Second Life can have its moments and these moments can cause all sorts of things to happen the one I would like to mention today is duplication or in some cases lost animals. Some of you have had this happen to you and some of you haven’t but this is why it is super important to remember to name your horses/k-9’s/barnyard birds and their bundles/kennels/nests and here’s why.

Whenever one of your animals or their bundle/kennel/nest gets lost or is duplicated we need as much information about it as possible in order to replace it. One of the most important pieces of information needed is the name of the animal or the bundle/kennel/nest. Without this information and if no other information given it can be extremely hard to locate the exact animal/bundle/kennel/nest that was duplicated and/or lost. Now this is where naming the animal or bundle/kennel/nest comes in because if you say have 100 horses and you happen to lose one and they are all named “Amaretto Breedable Horse” it can also be very difficult to find the exact one that you lost. This applies to the bundles/kennels/nests that you don’t birth and take into your inventory ( cause we all know sl inventory can be odd at times too ) so just give it a name like putting both parents on it or something and if the unthinkable happens we can find it for you quicker than if it was named “Amaretto Breedable Bundle”. Naming also has a second purpose and that’s to help you track your breedables for various things like easy organizing of your inventory or prepping a animal/bundle/kennel/nest for an auction and so forth. So remember even giving it a simple name can help us help you and help you keep track so be creative and name those animals/bundles/kennels/nests today!

Untill next time this is tmzasz luminos

Anubis bundles

Filed Under : All,K9 Information by Josie
Sep.14,2012

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope that everyone had a great week and now will be able to enjoy a wonderful weekend.

 

I wanted to talk to you today about a conversation that keeps coming up in group chat again and again. As many of you have discovered when breeding the Anubis horse the bundle produced will show in the text as a 3.2 bundle.  We have stated many times that this is simply a text error.  The Anubis does have the ability to pass the newer traits, but just like everything else that’s not a guarantee.  We have heard from many of you that have received new traits from the Anubis even though the bundle’s text showed it was a 3.2 version.  I am never the one to explain the inner “geeky-ness” of the breedables but here is the way I came to understand it the best.  These versions 3.2 “text error” bundles only need to be updated once you birth them and then they will show as 3.5 versions, the reason they need to be updated so that the text shows as 3.5 is so that they can breed with the version 3.5 horses.  Without updating them the version 3.5 horses read them as version 3.2 due to the text error.  Rest assured this will be corrected in the next horse update.

 

I hope this puts an end to this debate in the main group and I hope that your Anubis gives you great things! Until next time, happy breeding everyone!

Today I am going to talk to you about playing fetch with your K-9s.

Below is a list of instructions on how to do so….

First:
Wear the HUD – It will attach to your screen in the upper left corner
Touch the K-9 you want to interact with and chose HUD from the Blue Menu
Touch the Connect button on the HUD – It will confirm in local which K-9 is connected to the HUD
Now you can choose to play fetch with your K-9
Next:
Click the Get Ball button – This will send a ball to your objects
Wear the Ball – it will attach to your hand
Click Ball to set range for the distance at which the ball will be thrown. You can chose from 20, 40, 60, or 100 meters.
Click the Fetch button on your HUD
You will see the mouse look button at the bottom of your screen click that to go into mouse look
Aim where you want to throw the ball and left click your mouse to throw the ball
Your K-9 will run and retrieve the ball and bring it back to you as you will see it back in your hand and you can throw it again and again while your K-9 retrieves it for you.

Once you are done interacting with your K-9 via the HUD or you want to play with a different K-9 click the Disconnect button. This will disconnect your K-9 from the HUD and reset Home position where the K-9 is located at the time it disconnects.

REMEMBER TO MOVE YOUR K-9 BACK WITHIN RANGE OF ITS KIBBLE AND WATER AND RESET HOME POSITION.

Somethings you need to know about the updater:

1. It will not work if there is more than one updater out. It gives you a message that there are 2 updaters out please remove one. If you continue to try and update your K-9 It will give you another error message and have you pick one updater up and reset the other. (touch and wait 5 seconds to reset)

2. It will not update pregnant K-9s. The reason being the updater can potentially abort the pregnancy. Waiting to update your pregnant K-9s will not effect the K-9s functions, they will continue to eat, move, animate etc. When they give birth to the kennel, then you can update them. The kennel will be the old version and need to be updated when birthed.

3. The updater will not work on sims with a high load. Dilation needs to be above .65 and region fps must be above 25 for the updater to work. You will get an error message that says the sim dilation is too low, we have enclosed a sim monitor that will display these values for you. Just rez on your sim next to the updater.
Update Instructions:

Single Updater: Place the updater near the K-9 that isn’t updated and click the K-9 and click the update button. The K-9 will be updated and the settings will be the same as before the update process. ***DO NOT PICK UP K-9s OR THE UPDATER UNTIL IT HAS COMPLETED THE UPDATE PROCESS***

Bulk Updater: Place the bulk updater in the middle of your K-9 breeding area, click the updater and adjust the settings you want your K-9s to be set to after the update process, then click the update K-9s button on the updater menu. This updater has the ability to update all K-9s that are not v1.5 in an entire region. However, depending on sim performance it may only do the K-9s in a 96 meter radius. Do not remove the updater until it has completed updating all K-9s and the hover text above the updater reads FINISHED. ***DO NOT PICK UP K-9s OR THE UPDATER UNTIL IT HAS COMPLETED THE UPDATE PROCESS***

 

 

Updaters can be found at all K-9 locations:
