*sniff*

I has a sadness temporarily! I just entered my last Newbie Show and Tell at NCI Kuula. I am at 89 days within Second Life™ today. But! There are always the Oldbie S&T’s! :) YAY

I hope I am still eligible to play in the Newbie Blitz tomorrow even though I’ll be exactly 90 days.  Eek!  It is hard to believe it’s been 90 days.  I’ve been playing in both Oldbie and Newbie blitz for a bit now, how sad to only have one a week now hehehehe.  I gotta find other sims with fun speed builds!  It’s good practice to build so quickly and with limitations on prim count.  Plus, it’s always fun, not to mention prizes are always neat to get :) haha

Wahoo!  I won first tonight with my Sniffy, thank you guys. Very neat builds and scripts shown tonight, great job all!  Thank you to the donors and Mutten for hosting :)
Sniffy flies around.  I made the body  myself, it’s a sculpty and the propeller is a texture I made as well.  The rest of him is free textures and basic prims :)
You can get the script over at the official SL™ forums.  If you get a script error, it’ll bump you to the spot where the error is.  When I copy/pasted it, there were two spots in which words ended up with a space stuck in.  Just fix those two spots and tada!

SLURL™: Caewlin’s Creations (45 prim Texture Organizer for Free!)

Whoa humans, I have a lot of textures! I needs moar! Mew!

Send me some LM’s to places with free textures, particularly if they’re not the same ones that are free everywhere else too. I’d be happy to blog them if you share them with me :)
With all the classes I take, sometimes the textures are the same. Then I have this habit of picking up any free texture boxes I see. I had about 8 versions of the “65 textures!” box and 12 versions of the free Celaedon texture pack. I have no idea when I picked up 12. Then I had approx 58 versions of “grass”. It was the same texture, same name. I had to look them all over in the organizer to make sure I wasn’t dumping a unique one, but no! All the same!

It’s a real pain in the butt to sort through them before now, but in a way now it’s actually a little bit fun. (Okay, a lot of fun!) I originally tried to just sort them within my inventory and found that I would rather go scrub the toilet in RL than to deal with sorting textures.

Well, toilet! You’re on hold for now! Elf Clan sent out a notice hmm.. two days ago I think (sorry, I’m not so hot at knowing what day it is or how much time has passed bleh). Attatched to it was a free texture organizer. It’s spectacular! It’s “Ceawlin Texture Organizer w/starter textures”

Go get one, you need it. It is 45 prim, btw!

You rez it, then right click and edit.
Then you select “Edit Linked Parts” (up near the top of your edit window)
Now, choose a button. Go with Fabric!
Open your inventory and at the top search “Fabric”
Also at the top of your inventory window (not the program window!) choose “Show Filters”
Choose None on the blue button, then look up the list, choose Texture

You rock.

Now you can pick out fabric textures and throw them into your contents of the Fabric button.

Easy peasy, lemon squeasy. Clean my poopy catbox pleasey!

Then you just repeat. After I organize a load of textures, I’m deleting the copies from my inventory and copying the entire contents of a particular button into a new folder into my backpack inventory.

Exit out of edit mode and choose the fabric button, scroll through. You can then take note of the duplicates and erase them!

It’s very nice. It’s free. It’s easy to use.

The prim count is a little high, and I also could not figure out how to add new buttons or change the names of the current ones. But hey, it’s your organizer. For mine, “Terrain” will probably end up meaning “Particles” hehehe.  Wait, editing to add this:  If you change the button’s name in the Edit Window, it renames on the display too :)

Right now in Misc what I’m doing is adding in my gemstones, and adding the word “gem” before each one. The textures seem to load in alphabetical order so I’m hoping by adding “gem” or “particles” will group them together.

We’ll see. Now I’ll be better organized and probably clear out about 3k items in my bags inventory!

After this project, I should go through the crapload of outfits too, most of which I will never wear as a kid AV and obviously not as a siamese or tuxedo kitty either! :)
