Question: I can not open the empty.bvh?
Answer: Maybe your webbrowser loads the wrong application. Please download that file to your computer, then open any simple texteditor, like "notepad". From there, open then the empty.bvh.
Question: The file is not shown in the upload dialog of SL?
Answer: often the software of the operating system then has added an extension like .txt. Your file turned from MyAnimation.bvh to MyAnimation.bvh.txt - to prevent that, save your file with ". So, save it as "MyAnimation.bvh"... the " is the difference then.
Question: Something is wrong with my upload?
Answer:
please run this checklist:
make sure you have NOT deleted the line with 0.000000 0.00000 0.00000 that was at the bottom of the bvh file.... that line needs to stay there as is
the file HAS to end with .bvh ... if you forgot to enclose the name in ", then, especially windows-systems, love to add .txt - so your filename would be example.bvh.txt -> that does not work
a very seldom error on freshly sold HUDs, used the first time is that your viewer needs to restart (usually it should not, but, yah, SL)..., where the error vanished after the client had restarted and a new export line has been created..... so, please try that too
if all this fails, contact me (YT Recreant) please inworld via IM, but take into account that i am staying connected to SL almost 24/7, also when i am sleeping in RL or working in RL or whatever.. so, silence does not mean i am ignoring you, but simply that i am not able to answer right away
Thank you :)
