Attachments refers to accessories/clothing that your pet can wear to appear unique. In the simplest terms, the attachments for Krafties critters are items that they can either wear or carry. Used to customize and personalize your critter to your own style and personality. The possibilities for the single attachments are all but limitless, if you can envision it, you can create it. In the future, Krafties will allow for multiple attachments, for now however Krafties Critters have a single attachment system that allows for the freedom of personal expression as well as an attachment creator Kit that is purchased at the Krafties Store for 1$L.

Designing Attachments

The Krafties Attachment Design system allows you to create objects that visually attach themselves to Krafties creatures, following a specified attachment point in all of the creature's actions. Basically, you can design clothing and accessories that can be worn on Krafties creatures all over Second Life. As we add more species of Krafties, your attachment design system will automatically be updated with the templates for the new creatures.

Using the Attachment Designer v4.0

  1. Create a 1 prim sculpted object (mesh is not supported)
    1. You can design it in your favorite 3d modeling program
    2. Upload the sculpt files to Second Life, and apply them to a new prim
  2. Rez the included Krafties Attachment Designer object in world
  3. Get the "Krafties Attachment Script"
    1. Touch the Attachment Designer
    2. Click "Get Script"
    3. Accept the delivered script
  4. Drop the Krafties Attachment Script into the contents your newly created sculpted prim
    • It cannot be a linked object, only 1 prim.
    • If the steps have been followed correctly and you have full permissions, you will get a message and floating text will appear above the object
  5. Select the desired Krafties species on the Attachment Designer
    1. Touch the Krafties Attachment Designer
    2. Select which species of Kraftie you wish to design the attachment for
    3. After a few moments, the designer will transform into a template version of the species you have chosen
  6. Position your sculpted object in the desired position and rotation on the template creature
  7. Touch the body part on the template creature that you would like to have your object attach to
    • The selected body part will turn black
    • A Dialog menu will open
  8. Click Finalize when you are satisfied
    • You're finished!
After completing the design process, the object you dropped the 'Krafties Attachment Script' into has changed into a ready to use Krafties attachment with no further changes needed on your end (except for perms, if you are reselling your creations). Clicking the attachment will result in a dialog asking if you would like to attach it to your currently active Kraftie, as it will for anyone that give/sell the object to. Click 'Yes', and your creature will display the newly created attachment!
IMPORTANT NOTES
  • DO NOT CHANGE THE OBJECT'S DESCRIPTION AFTER FINALIZING THE DESIGN PROCESS. This will result in your attachment not functioning properly
  • Krafties currently only support one prim, sculpted objects as design attachments. This may or may not change in the future
  • You must have full permissions on the object in order to turn it into a Krafties Attachment
  • Currently, a Krafties attachment has unlimited uses. As such it can be attached to multiple creatures as many times as the owner wishes. Keep this in mind when selling the attachments. This may or may not chage in the future.
  • Because a Krafties attachment is created with a certain species template, that same attachment will NOT work with other species of Krafties. You may, however, use the same sculpt to create an attachment for each species of Kraftue.
  • At any time a certain specie's appearance data may be altered by the Krafties developers, which may or may not effect the look and positioning of your created attachments. With this in mind, it is best to include some method to update your products if you are reselling Krafties attachments. On our part, the Krafties development team will update appearances sparingly, if ever, in order to avoid any breakage in products it may cause.
