Material trouble on object meshes
caffeinated.joy:
It doesn't matter, BlooM. Besides, I did take a look and this is the first thread she's made that I can see where she figured it out on her own before someone came in to post help.
The fact that you came in here to post and discovered she'd already solved it isn't her fault. She figured it out over ten hours ago while your reply to her is less than an hour ago. How does that equal her solving it at the same time you came to help her? Your effort is appreciated, definitely, but keep in mind you don't know how many times she'd tried it before posting here. For all you know she'd been hammering away at it for hours without success.
ETA: Unless a person is obviously being blatantly lazy by not searching out easily found solutions or refusing to read things in plain sight or we have proof positive they're only trying something once or twice before giving up and posting here for help, then we can't tell a person what to ask help for or not.
BlooM:
True, people can ask as many times they wish...and its cool when they figure it out themselves.
But thats not wat i meant, but instead of moaning in this thread i be better of keep my mouth shut and staying away from it next time.
Paden:
That would be a great idea, BlooM, it really would be. If you took a look at the time stamps you'd see that it was posted at one time and then edited several hours later. She continued to work on it, without the benefit of your guidance and figured everything out. What, is there a problem with lesser mortals getting to the conclusion on their own that bothers you? Lay off. By all means, read the thread and read it carefully, and go ahead and leave advice that could help them the next time, but you needn't take the attitude that they're crying wolf in the dark when you are nowhere around when they do post. TheRaven is a talented person but just like some of the rest of us, she gets stuck at times and asks for help, but she doesn't give up when there is no one there to hold her hand and walk her through it. We need more people like her around to make shiny stuff, that's part of what the site is about. Making, sharing, discussing and having fun with the shiny. As well as being friends and part of the community that we call InSim.
BlooM:
i got the message....
I hope you also understand my point of view, its frustrating when you spent time to help somebody and the moment you bring a solution you get answers as:
Trashed it, got it already, i figured it out myself or found another way.....that happened to me atleast 3 times with her, thats why i jumped....srry, wont happen again..

It just seems to me, BlooM, you're taking it personally when there is no reason to. OK, so she found it on her own and didn't post that she had until after you posted information. I don't think she was doing it on purpose and you make it seem (to me) that this is how you're feeling about it. Regardless of whether theraven ended up needing the help or not, the point is you gave it, and someone else looking for help with the same issue will be glade you did. The help you gave won't be useful to her alone. It's all how you choose to look at it. Someone else might stumble upon any one of those threads and go "Oh so THAT'S what I'm doing wrong!". I think it's great she wasn't afraid to continue working at it on her own. We really need need more people like that.
