Trouble Shooting Build Packer Rezzer

~~ Build Packer: Rezzer Troubleshooting ~~ By Arth Karas, August 2008


BUILD REZZER MENU CHOICES AND DESCRIPTIONS
===============================================
~Help~ (Gives this card)
~Rez!~ and position the packed build. (reports if there us nothing to rez)
~De-rez~ this build. (Asks to confirm:)
~~Delete Build~ will remove all parts, but not this main Object nor (no copy) parts.
~Freeze~ my build. (Asks to confirm one of two options.)
~~All Done~ removes all Build Packer scripts nearby. This cannot be undone.
~~Disconnect~ leaves scripts present, but not active. This can be undone.

After a ~Freeze~, prims and other scripts will remain as they are. Parts will not follow the main Object. The main Object no longer gives menus.

FAQ
============================================

~~I clicked the menu, nothing happened:
The menu is active for only 30 seconds each time it comes up to lessen sim lag. To get a new menu, touch the main object using left click or right click > touch.

~~ How do I get the menu to work again?
Touch the main Object. It has floating text that reads "Build Rezzer"

~~ I have the main Object out, but no menus appear.
Reset it's scripts. Detailed instructions are below.

~~ The build looks weird - the parts are not in the right spots:
Check the ground level and the sim and property border. Move or rotate the main Object so the build moves away from them.

~~ The build is sticking against the ground:
Build parts don't want to go below ground level. Instead, they just stick at ground level. Move or rotate the main Object to lift them up.

~~ I need part of the build to be underground:
Terraform a basement, then set the build in it, "Freeze" it, and terraform to bring the ground where you need it to be.
This is a bit tricky, but works, too: "Rez!" the build above ground, "Freeze-Disconnect" it, then draw a big edit box around the whole build and carefully drag it where it needs to be.

~~ The structure is piled against the border:
If you are near the edge of the world, the parts try not to fall off into the void into your "Lost-and-Found". Move or rotate the main Object away from the edge of the world to fix this.

~~ I lost a part of the build:
If your part moves off-world or over an auto-return plot, it appears in your inventory "Lost and Found" folder.
Move the main Object so you don't lose the part again. Drag the Lost-And-Found part to the ground. Now move the main object a little, wait, and the part will move to where it belongs in the build.

~~ The main Object says that it's empty:
If the creator packed a (no copy) build, it disappears from the main Object when you "rez!" it.

~~ I don't want that drop-down dialog menu anymore
~~ That "Build Rezzer" floating text is annoying.
Touch the main object, click "Freeze" and confirm with "Disconnect". The build freezes in place and the Build Packer Rezzer script goes inactive until you manually select and reset the Build Packer Rezzer Script.

ADVANCED ISSUES
====================================================

~~ I can't drag the build parts back to the main Object for storage.
If the creator made a (no modify) main Object, you can't drag things back into it for storage. One storage solution:
1) Create a new prim, name it and apply permissions as you wish.
2) Take all the all the build parts to inventory, including the main Object,
3) Drag all the parts from inventory to the prim's contents.
4) Take your prim into your inventory.
5) Later, you can drag it out, open it, and take all the parts to inventory
6) Drag those parts to the ground
7) Edit and move the main Object. Your build will snap in to place after a brief wait.

~~ I've got two Build Packer builds to rez.
Two Build Packer main Objects out at the same time will interfere with each other, even if you used "Freeze-Disconnect". "Rez!" one, then place and then use "Freeze-All Done" on it. Now you can "Rez!" and place the second one without messing up the first. I am working on an upgrade for this.

~~ I used "Freeze - All Done" but I want to use Build Packer again.
Buy the Build Packer kit through Arth Karas. Follow the Builder's instructions.

~~ I lost my build.
If you cannot find the build in-world or in your inventory at all, contact the creator or seller of your build about their replacement policy.

~~ Can a builder friend help me?
Great idea. While only you, the build owner, can see and operate the drop-down Build Packer menus, you can allow a friend to edit your prims in your friend window. With your permission, your builder friend can move and rotate your main object, and the other parts will still follow it. That friend can adjust the parts for you after you have used "Freeze -Disconnect".

~~ Can I pack my own build or add stuff to this one?
Purchase the full Build Packer through Arth Karas. Your new Build Packer will work just fine with parts that someone else created and packed.

~~ HELP! I need support.
First, contact the creator of your build or the person you got it from, since they will know how it is supposed to look. When all else fails, OK, contact me and I'll try to mentor you.


Namaste, Arth Karas.
