K-9 Hud

Filed Under : All,K9 Information by Josie

Jan.25,2012

Well let’s talk about the K-9 Hud
When you attach the K-9 to the hud the K-9 will receive a boost in happiness.
This will happen as long as the K-9 stays attached to the hud .
Let me talk about the buttons on the hud .
The Connect button is for you to use when you connect a K-9 to the hud
When you are ready to disconnect the hud from your K-9
you will use the Disconnect button.
The Follow Button this means the K-9 will follow you anywhere you go.
The Come button you would use when you want your K-9
to come sit next to you .
The Stay button you would use if you want your K-9 to stay still and not move
The Get Ball button will send the ball to your inventory which will be in your
objects folder for you to wear
The Fetch button will have to be activated before you can throw the ball
an have the K-9 to fetch it for you.
The Hud gives you important information such as which K-9 is connected
to the hud an also what feature is currently in use.

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 have your K-9 do one of the activities listed on the HUD
Come, Stay, Follow

Why Renaming Your Breedables Is Important

Filed Under : All,Horse Information,K9 Information by Josie

Jan.24,2012

Second Life has many lag issues, that can cause duplication of breedables, disappearance of breedables, or incomplete transfer of breedables. Having your breedable named can be very helpful especially when SL eats you Horse or K-9. We need information to remake your breedable. What we need is the Name of breedable and/or UUID number. If you leave you horse or K-9 as Amaretto Breedable Horse or Amaretto Breedable K-9 it can make it harder to find and sometimes impossible. The same goes for kennels and bundles.

We can only replace, remake your item if we have the information, so please take the time to name all your breedables.

Names can be as simple as using a number. It will also help you keep track and know when you are missing a horse or K-9.

When you get a bundle or kennel and you decide not to birth it, name it before you take it into your inventory. Lets say a few weeks down the road you decide to birth that bundle, and the horse stays white and doesn’t birth. You probably don’t remember who the parents of the bundle were, but if you have named the bundle and paid attention to the bundle name before you clicked birth, you now have some information to give us that can help in finding out about that bundle.

And the Winners are…..

Today I realized that its my day to do a connection for you fine people. So I thought it would be fun to show you how these connections come to be…. While I was thinking what to write for a connection… I realized the office was a mess and the trash needed to go out…

While looking into the garbage bin … I remembered the good old days when dumpster diving would earn you some linden… Those days are past now *sniffles*

I realized there was an order of Barnyard Birds that needed to be delivered to the office… Poor guys been sitting in the truck for days now… I realize how bad I am with breedables *insert self induced guilt trip here* alas I get this done today!

But now its time to take a break and chill out under some hot sun and catch some zzzzzz’s *insert rem sleep here and now in la la land dreaming of chinese food* I wake up and have to wipe the drool from my mouth… *hopes nobody saw that*

I catch from the corner of my eye some chickens inside the Barnyard Bird store… WOOT WOOT… You have to stop and play with them don’t you !! They just that cute!!!

I notice the building isn’t totally complete and someone really should paint the walls in this place and clean up the garbage laying around. I mean really! Nobody like a messy store… *makes mental note to Nash to clean that up and get painting*

AHHHH POOP !!! I’m going to be late to grab the ship over to the K9s sim and I run after the ship… “WAIT WAIT WAIT I’m coming … WAIT FOR ME!!!!!” I make it to the ship just in time and in the distance I can see the Amaretto K9 sim in the distance! Woot Woot

I make it to the K9 Sim and see the sandbox with toys so … I mean well… hey… You just have to stop and play for a bit don’t you? Oh crap… these toys aren’t for people they is for the K9s *insert sad face*

I take a short walk and I’ve finally made it to the Amaretto K9 Store

I lay down and play with these awesome cute buddies for a while and it occurs to me what I can write about for my connection today *insert light bulb – half dim – here*

Have you heard about the NEW traits these awesome K9s have the chance to get and pass to their offspring? Its a little bit of awesome… Amaretto is calling these two new traits

SUNRISE & SUNSET

WOOT WOOT

If you have starters then you have a chance at one of these NEW traits… Yups! if you don’t feel free to drop by the Amaretto Store and pick up a pack of starters.

Lets add a little morning glory or a beautiful sunset to our already AWESOME K9s

Here’s Some Helpful Information

Filed Under : All,Horse Information,K9 Information by maleficent Farshore

Hello everyone. This week we have seen alot of tickets on people needing horses replaced. Well we all know SL can eat them or make them Poof, but heres something that we have noticed alot of people doing. NEVER highlight and take a group of horses, K-9s, bundles, or kennels into your inventory. Most of the time when you do this, you will lose all the items as they will not rez back out

Also if you find a breedable in your inventory and you know that you already have it out, you can right click on the item in inventory, look in the description field and compare the numbers from that with your breedables number. If you set it out and you already have it out, both copies will duplicate.

When SL does a sim Rollback, it takes the sim back to a previous state. If you have purchased a horse from someone, and the sim where you purchased the breedable from has a rollback, it can create a duplicate issue., maybe even someone else has come along and also purchased the same breedable. This is why we ask for transaction history. If this happens you can contact the seller for refund. Please don’t just assume they are selling duplicates on purpose. Talk to the seller. Things can be worked through.

Hope this has been helpful
