Stop. Using. PNG. or. 32-bit TGA. For. Opaque. Textures.Now I need to figure out which textures I've uploaded that I want to go through the hassle of this...
Why? Most people don't see it but SL has an automatically enabled option to convert ALL these textures into alpha masks, and it SHOULD be disabled. It makes content creation a hassle because you can't choose what should be alpha blending and what should be alpha mask if it is on, requiring you to use workaround features for it...
...BUT: Disabling this feature will probably cause a lot of objects go into an alpha sorting trainwreck in your client. That is because said textures were uploaded with an unnecessary 32-bit/transparency layer that SHOULDN'T BE THERE, and now it doesn't attempt to fix it automatically, showing what the textures truly are like.
To solve this, please upload your opaque textures as 24-bit TGA and disable the option "Render alpha masks when 'Advanced Lighting Model' is enabled/not enabled". Not only they will be correct in a visual manner, they will also require less data to download and process.
Thank you sincerely.
And this from a random profile that I found relevant:
Safewords are valid in SL because it is psychological and emotional space we are trying to achieve and a relationship we are trying to preserve. And because of RLV. Surrender is surrender and it is vulnerable.He's not wrong.
Green: Go Sir! Goooooo! I love this!
Yellow: Slow down Sir...let's figure this out I'll hint gently. And maybe you have the right idea in the first place, but let's negotiate softly.
Red: Instant stop. I guarantee I will leave BDSM forever if I violate a redlight, a RED. Safewords can save lives. No longer Sir....I'm coming to the rescue.
Tapping out/Snapping: During gagging, or combinations. It means the gag comes off.
Use your safewords, they can even protect a friendship. Safewords between trusted friends can prevent misunderstandings.
BDSM is to develop trust, intimacy, and provide an avenue of utter surrender, as well as foster greater self control.
Next, why I got rid of STATIC's Nightmariner's Lantern (at least for now):
Because it REFUSES to stop launching itself into midair and spinning like a mad dervish!
It makes no sense to me.
Seriously, every time I rez one out, it goes COMPLETELY mental.
And now, some random cat pics to round this out.
What is the fascination with staring at walls? Can someone answer that for me?
Because I don't get it.

I long ago learnt to 'flatten' (remove the alpha channel) of all my uploaded textures, unless they actually had transparency. I *think* this makes PNGs ok to use.
