Neck Blenders for Men
First.. because there has been many.. many requests…I FINALLY got the Neck kit updated for men! It now includes 1 neck size and 3 neck blender options for menfolk.
http://slpoweredbyomega.com/instructions/instructions-omega-neck-stub/

Head Updates: In an attempt for a more intuitive design, I’m experimenting with a new method of Makeup Application. I’ve started updating select heads and kits to react to the “HUD” and “ALL” buttons by bringing up a popup for you to select where to apply a texture.  Theoretically, this should reduce the need to use the routing hud and help folks who just sorta blindly click. 🙂 (Since all buttons on the applier will either apply the texture in the default areas or bring up a popup!)

Full Perm Kit Changes:  Well.. it looks like Full Perm Heads are going to be more and more of a thing, so after talking with Customers, Creators and my Minions I’ve decided to make a change in the pricing Structure. Before, to reflect the Added work of keeping such a kit secure and providing Customer Service for it, I set the price at 299L for the Meli Imako Kit as well as the Safy Belle One.   I’ve decided to change this as to not punish end users. Instead there is now two kit editions for each of these products and future products like them.

  • The Creator Edition includes a transferable Plug-in script to be placed in the head before sale, instructions for naming, test appliers and anything else I think might be useful with a particular head. It is priced at 299L, only available inworld and only available after purchasing the “Customer Edition”
  • The Customer Edition includes an Installer and because I know some people won’t set the head up correctly before selling it…  a no-transfer “demo” version of the Plug-in Script along with instructions.   It won’t include any of the other tools and bits I decide to include with the Creator Edition. It will cost the normal 99L but will not have a Group Discount available.

Phat Azz Channel Updates: 

Well…. it took 2 years.. and giving up completely.. but I did it… I found CK Winx! (Rather he found me.. ) For those of you who aren’t 100yo in SL years, that’s the creator of Phat Azz, not the first mesh booty, but the one that really launched them into the mainstream. You can still find TONS of appliers for it on the MP and every booty had its’ own instructions for converting them!

And now, with CK’s help and permission, I’ve updated the Generic Router to convert allll those Phat Azz appliers into an Omega Ones.
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Generic-Router-for-Omega-Heads-v21/7337832

Simply make sure you are wearing the router when you use the phat azz applier.  No more clunky Notecard swapping for phat azz (thank goodness).

And if you want to make a permanent applier for yourself instead, I’ve also updated the Applier Converters to listen for Phat Azz as well. 🙂

Instructions:

Skin Picker HUD

597bf14dc138d7a7fa2a02fe28fab3271Did your skin not come with a neck blender either? No worries! Now the Kit comes with 20 tintable Neck-blender and Neck Textures!  (Thanks to Pixystix for providing the textures!)

In  addition to working on the kits Neck-blenders and necks, I’ve set it up to work an Omega Applier, so you can use it on any Omega friendly mesh in need of a neck-blender, (Just remember not all meshes have tinting compatibility, if your mesh doesn’t take tinting appliers, this probably won’t help much)

It’ll also work on various Omega Friendly Head bits,  Stargazers Antennae/Ears, Souls Gills and Tentacles, etc. It won’t however work on anything that needs a face… (unless you’d like a soulless featureless face!)

Instructions:

  • Wear the meshes and Skin Picker HUD
  • Select the Skin of your choice.
  • Use the up and down arrows to change the RGB value.
    • Small Arrows Change the values by 1
    • Medium Arrows Change the values by 10
    • Large Arrows Change the values by 50
  • To pick a specific value, type /42 255,255,255   (replace the 255s with your own values, no spaces!)
  • If you’d like to purchase a full skin in a given color, click the button at the bottom of the hud.
  • To return to white, click the “Tint White” button in the top right.

Instructions for NewLine Bodies

Part One:  Installing the Script

  1. Rez out the Mesh Body you want to use and it’s clothing layer(s)..
  2. If the Mesh is from the “Big Bodies Series” (Curvy Females):
    1. Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: New Line Body v2.0M” and drop it into the Body.
    2. Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: New Line Shell1 v2.0M” and drop it into the Clothing Shell1.
    3. Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: New Line Shell2 v2.0M” and drop it into the Clothing Shell2.
    4. Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: New Line Shell3 v2.0M” and drop it into the Clothing Shell3.

Once this is done, your Mesh should respond to Omega and Tango Appliers.

Instructions for Biggies

Step One:  Installing the Script

  1. Rez out the Layers you wish to wear.
  2. Find the Scipt labled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: Boobs – Biggies – Skin v2.0M” and put it in the skin layer.
  3. Find the Script labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: Boobs – Biggies – Cloth v2.0M” and drop it directly into your clothing layers.
  4. Find the Script labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: Boobs – Biggies – Nippl v2.0M” and drop it directly into the your nipples.

Once this is done, your Mesh should respond to Omega and Tango Appliers.

About these breasts:  These breasts defer from most prim breasts in that they are SLUV rather then using a cropped UV map like most meshes. This sounds like a great thing…but it means they suffer some of the same issues as full body meshes do when dealing with partial textures and non-standard Tango appliers.

 

If you use a tango applier, and it appears..weird…. play with the repeats and offsets.  Repeats of 2 x 2 and an offset of 0.5×0.5 generally does the trick for most partial textures. (. This however is not full proof, some appliers, specifically those for mesh dresses, use strange offsets and repeats to get the top to line up. You may need to adjust the repeats and offsets manually for these.

It should be noted, these breasts to not adhere to typical mesh breast mapping.  The Nipples tend to be large and stretched on normal skins, if you can find skin without nipples, you’ll have a easier time of it.

Instructions for Big Bodies Series (Curvy Females)

Part One:  Installing the Script

  1. Rez out the Mesh Body you want to use and it’s clothing layer(s)..
  2. If the Mesh is from the “Big Bodies Series” (Curvy Females):
    1. Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: Bodies Skin v2.0M” and drop it into the Body.
    2. Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: Bodies Outer Shell v2.0M” and drop it into the Clothing Shell.

Once this is done, your Mesh should respond to Omega and Tango Appliers.

[collapse]
Instructions for Muscle Bodies Series (Muscle Meshes)

Part One:  Installing the Script

  1.  Rez out the Mesh Body you want to use and it’s clothing layer(s)..
  2.  Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: Bodies Skin v2.0M” and drop it into the Body.
  3. Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: Bodies Outer Shell v2.0M” and drop it into the Outer Clothing Shell.
  4. Find the Script Labeled “Omega Listener – ::A.A Meshes:: Bodies Inner Shell v2.0M” and drop it into the Inner Clothing Shell.

Once this is done, your Mesh should respond to Omega and Tango Appliers.

Part Two: Check The Feet: 

Unlike the Big Body Series, the Muscle Series bodies include Type B Feet!

This is both awesome and a tad problematic since we only directly support types A and D.

I don’t want anyone getting neglected though, so to get around this, I’ve included an option in the debug hud. “LegFix”.  If you click it, it’ll toggle the texture between the textures for Type A and Type D feet to let you choose which you prefer. Do note, not all skin appliers have both, so you may see your old skin or grey legs while toggling. So make doubly sure you try a Skin Applier Demo before purchasing new skins!

It’s not applying to the forearm…
Sounds like you have an older kit, make sure your kit is 1.2+

The Textures are scrambled..
Make sure you’re using the right script. This kit has 3 different sets of scripts and you need to use the right one.

It’s not working! T.T
Check out our handy troubleshooting tips:

Basic Trouble Shooting

Basic Trouble Shooting!

If you’re here, either you’re seeing this section embedded on an instructions page or you’ve been sent here because your Omega Isn’t working!

Things to Try when appliers aren’t working:

  1. Verify you’re on a sim that allows scripts. Easiest way: Toggle something on your Mesh HUD to see if it reacts.
  2. Attach the Relay or Installer that came with your Omega Kit.
    1. The Name of the Kit should match the Name of your Mesh. Ie, you should have a Maitreya Relay for Maitreya or a Logo Installer for Logo.
    2. If it’s an installer, click it and verify all your bits say “Thank you” in local chat. If it doesn’t say thank you, grab a redelivery of your mesh or open a new copy.
    3. If it’s a relay, keep it attached.
  3. Verify your mesh layers are turned ON. Mosts Body Meshes and some head meshes let you toggle your layers on and off. Sometimes, this will make it look like applier’s aren’t working. Take a moment to toggle them ALL off, and then back on.
  4. Check for Alpha-Glitch issues. Do this by turning all, or all but 1 of your body layers to Masking.
  5. Verify it’s not an applier issue. Take the applier to one of our inworld Mannequins and try it there. If it works, nothing is wrong with the applier. If it DOESN’T work, you may need to contact the applier creator.
  6. Verify you didn’t bork your Mesh. Many meshes now feature methods to remove their scripts. It helps with lag on RP sims. This does mean that occasionally a customer accidentally clicks on these buttons, ruining their ability to use appliers or their hud. To check, simply play with Mesh HUD to make sure the body is still reacting to it.  The easiest way is likely to play with the Alpha hud. If that works, you should be ok. If you DID bork your mesh, just grab a redelivery of your mesh or open a new copy.

I still need help with this mesh/kit!

If your issue is Omega Related:

  • If you don’t find help there, contact our CSR: FreyasFashions Resident OR Fill out a Support Ticket

If your issue is NOT Omega Related, try the following:

  • AA Inworld Support Group: secondlife:///app/group/7f83d520-0b32-818c-9e97-6cc4d438f0a9/about
  • Contact Raptoranim via Notecard:  secondlife:///app/agent/76770c3e-b45e-401b-bed5-daf10c3b74a2/about

Remember when asking for help in ANY support group to be polite and specific with your query. For best results, do not open with “hi” or “can someone help me?” but instead open with an explanation of the problem. 

Response rate varies based on who is online and what they know, so be patient. Sometimes you can get a delayed response, and sometimes there’s simply not someone online with an answer to your specific question. In this case, try one of the other support groups/options or come back later and try again when more or different people are around.

If you’re not sure if the problem is Omega, don’t stress, just try any of the above support options. If nothing else, they can help you sort out if it’s an Omega problem or something else.
