Thanks Jacqueline! I forgot to return and read your comment until now. What I should have said was that the anti-halo layer in the knockaboutname.psd file isn’t completely black or white (as in your other yacht-’name’ files), but has some hand-drawn marks aligned to one side of the words ‘knock about’. So once the name is changed, the anti-halo layer in that particular file no longer fits. I later realised why you did that though – to prevent a halo around the drop shadow effect. It was trivial to fix and I was typically slow to realise. Doh! Sorry about that.

Btw, I’d also like to thank you for such a beautiful yacht and unexpectedly adding a new dimension to my SL experience. I’m ashamed to say that when I bought it, I just wanted a nice yacht to leave outside my home, and figured I’d take it for a spin now and then. I simply wasn’t prepared for the fun learning curve and skill required to navigate it, and while I *do* have one moored at home, I’m generally out sailing on a copy and ignoring all those friends on my list who won’t join me. Thanks again! x

Hi Retro, I think that would give a faint black outline around the text edge that is white. I could be wrong though.

Hello, thanks for these instructions. I think the anti-halo layer for the Knockabout Sloop PS file (knockaboutname.psd) is wrong though. Should it be completely black?

Hi Ian – good question. The naming prim is a regular old SL(tm) cube – dragging a texture on it will only effect the face of that particular prim. However, if you were to select the entire boat, edit it and drop your name on the Texture window that would indeed replace every texture on the boat with your name. In any case, the boat is copy – if you mess one up, just delete it from inworld and rez a fresh one.

As far as sail textures go, that is accomplished by editing a script within the sail prim. The instructions are part of the sail template download.

Hello,

I don’t mean to sound too silly, but I don’t have much building experience so please pardon my possibly ignorant question.

Regarding naming the J-Class, since the prim with the name is linked to the rest of the boat, wouldn’t dragging a new texture template (with a custom name) over it actually cover the entire boat with that texture??? (I don’t want to wreck it by doing something wrong)

I’m also totally ignorant about changing sail textures for the same reason. Is there an easy way to change sail color or to add a custom color design?

Sorry if my questions are silly. (And I do not own PS..it costs more than I can afford)

Thanks

Ian

Hello
I want to customize my Tradewind but I can’t seem to find the templates for it anywhere. Have they been published?

Hi Naeve, I haven’t updated the J-Class naming instructions. But it couldn’t be easier! Just upload your version of the template to SL as a TGA and drag that graphic over the prim face that has J-Class’s current name – on the side of the skylight.

Do you have instructions for renaming the J-Class?

I’ve got the files but not the instructions like you have here on this page.

Hi!
Are there any templates for Leetle Cat?
Thanks
