BoM


my post in the forums

to wit:

bit late on this topic, m'excuse. i've just got myself the new Firestorm BoM viewer to see what all the fuss about BoM is. it's not very complicated, just revolutionary and devastating should you ever think your life will be the same. hahahaha. someone forgot to tell me that bit of news in all my searches within the sorrowful lack of communcation on the matter. 

here's what i learned: (please correct me if i'm wrong)
 
1. running a BoM viewer will destroy _everything_ that came before
2. aside from uninstalling and reverting to an earlier "BeFore BoM"version you will not be ready to just jump in and carry on
3. should you choose to endure the BoM changes awaiting the ignorant and uninformed, your adventure to return to a happy and blissful second life experience will become extraordinarily important and significantly trying on your time.
4. just because EVERY outfit (post Mesh) you've EVER saved now shows your head, eyes, and body skins as a solid red doesn't mean you'll never get that look back. it's not time to panic just yet. but panic to be sure is indeed part of the process.
5. removing your head, eyes, and body alpha layers WILL solve the completely solid red appearance revealing, get this: whatever previously hidden system layers you never paid any attention to when Mesh arrived cause they were alpha'd out. boyoboyoboy are you gonna be surprised what's been under your Mesh all this time!
6. now, somehow (solely and graciously by the will of whatever God you pray to) you will need to put those beautiful and mesh specific textures into your modifiable head, top, and bottom system skin. having access to full perm or self created textures makes this transformation a snap. you will only have to edit EVERY outfit you have EVER created (post Mesh) to ensure the skins you had on before BoM can be found and/or reconstructed onto a system skin. oh, and make sure you delete the head, eyes, and body alphas of EVERY outfit and yer laughing. hahahaha. i'm lucky i only have an infinite amount of time and patience to edit the small number of outfits i had thought would have been preserved even with a REVOLUTIONARY DISRUPTIVE change some evil genius came up with.
7. having only "applied" textures would be another manner i've not had to suffer so the vast majority of cases out there will have to rely on helpful strangers and long suffering friends who may be going through the same upsetting trials. good luck. i'll be praying for you.
