Good day
and welcome to this short tutorial of how to lock objects on your body or HUD
using RLV.
Most important:
make sure
your viewer supports RLV and RLVa is active. If you are not sure of that
consult your viewers help or homepage.
Option one, locking objects using your RLV relay:
Some relays
like the TkPBA or Dahlia's multi relay are equipped with outfit lockers. I
prefer Dahlia's but locking items with TkPBA is no different.
On TkPBA
there is a button that says "Locker" in the main menu, Dahlia HUD has
a blue button that looks like a coat hanger. From there on it's about the same
menu. In this menu you will see categories of places you can lock. Those lead
you to the single parts you can lock.
I will make
this clear with an example:
Let’s
assume you want to lock your skin using Dahlia.
You enter
the menu and click "Bodypart". This will get you a list of all worn
bodyparts. They should be listed in small letters. Now you click skin. The
relay will inform you in nearby chat that your skin is locked. In the menu you
will notice the word SKIN is now written in capital letters. Capital letters
mean the object is locked and thus can’t be taken off.
Go on like
this until you have locked all things you don't want to be taken of
accidentally by strip function of RLV devices.
TkPBA has
one difference compared to Dahlia Relay: the locker stays active when the relay
is turned off. Whether this is an advantage or not remains in the eye of the
beholder.
Option two, locking objects using a lock script:
Get this
free lock script:
Rezz the
object you want locked on the floor. If you can't see the object you rezzed on
the floor, try CTRL, ALT and T to make invisible things visible. Drag and drop
the script "FooRoo BasicAttachmentLock 1.10" from your inventory onto
the object and take it back or use "edit" and drag the script directly into your object contents. Some objects copy themselves when rezzed on the
floor and taken back to inventory. Make your to wear the correct one later.
Once you
wear the object you may simply lock and unlock it with those two commands in
nearby chat:
/222555lock : Lock the item
/222555unlock : Unlock the item
When to use what option:
Clearly,
option one is much more comfortable but the unlocker disengages if you turn the
relay off because you are, for instance, on a sim you don't trust. You may
can't be captured and stripped by RLV devices any more but if your collar is
set to public access, someone still can mess with your look.
Option two
on the other hand functions even when the relay is off but works only with
objects you can rezz on the floor and edit. This means it does not work with
bodyparts like skin, tattoos, eyes and so on, or with objects the creator restricted
to be edited by others.
Possible troubles:
Relay option only:
Most
viewers now support multiple attachments to a single spot. If you lock
something that is attached to, lets say, your neck, all other items you may add
to that spot later on will get locked too.
Both options:
You may
have noticed avatars not fully rezzing inworld or may have drunken from that
bitter cup yourself. This results in the avatar floating around as red cloud
which looks kinda cute but is unnerving if you want to roleplay ;-)
The most
common solution to this problem is to "Ruth" your avatar, meaning to
reset your avatar to SL standard. Resetting your avatar won’t work as long as
any part of your avatar or HUD is locked. This is something most people are
unaware off. Make sure to unlock all stuff and take it off before attempting to
reset. You may also log in without RLVa support and reset but dont forget to
re-activate RLVa after you solved your cloudy problem. RLV is supposed to be
fun. Enjoy it!
Third option, the “nostrip” function
Implemented
within RLVa is the nostrip function. You can use it to prevent accidental
stripping by things like stripping strips or other devices. Applying this is
rather simple:
2. Rename the folder/item by adding (nostrip) to the end of the filename
Here is an
example:
Let’s
assume you don’t want your hair to be stripped and you have it in your #RLV
folder:
It will look something like this:
#RLV/~Avatar/hair
To prevent the hair from stripping
simply rename it this way:
#RLV/~Avatar/hair
(nostrip)
If you want to prevent the entire
folder from being stripped rename the folder:
#RLV/~Avatar
(notsrip)
Renaming
the folder will prevent all the items in the folder from being stripped.
As easy
this may be please note that it will not prevent your stuff from being detached
or unworn. This is only works against stripping. The major advantage of this
option is your own ability to attach and detach without having to unlock
anything.
Some additions
I know of
course there are other ways to lock items and clothing from within collars but
sometimes a slave has no access to their collar menu. The locking function
within the collar is meant to be used by the Mistress/Master and not by the
slave itself. Next problem would be collars set to open access where everybody
may unlock your stuff and begins messing with your look. And isn’t that exactly
what we try to prevent here?
I hope this
tutorial was helpful to you. Please don’t hesitate to post a comment or ask me
any questions you may have.
