The problem is that when you say something on channel 7 that the HUD doesn’t understand, it gives you the feedback:

HUDDLES EZ Animator Deluxe v1.2.1: I don’t understand

While informative, this can be annoying and confusing, especially if you use channel 7 a lot for another device. To change the channel it listens to, go into the script, find the line which says “integer COMMCHAN = 7;” and change it.

Here are the step by step instructions for you if you need them:

1. Rez your HUD onto the ground.
2. Right click on the HUD and choose Edit.
3. Go to the Content tab (click More if you do not see the Content tab).
4. Find the script named “~Flight Assist 1.2.1″.
5. Right click on the script and choose Open.
6. Find the line near the beginning of the script which says: integer COMMCHAN = 7;
   (it’s on line 90 in the script)
7. Change the number 7 to another positive number and click Save.
8. Close the Script and the Edit windows.
9. Right click and Take your HUD.
10. Wear your HUD from your inventory.

If you don’t use the flight assist, you can just delete the flight assist script. This should cause no problems.

What’s new?

• A button to sit on the ground anywhere
• Flight assist
• Improvements to the hugger
• New commands like /99set name
• A way to play macros by their name
• New macro tags - [NO_DANCE], [TARGET_LAST] and [TARGET_FIRST]
• Generally faster and more efficient dancing
• Numerous small bug fixes

You can read the release notes on the web, however they may be incomplete. More documentation is in the works.
If you have previously upgraded to one of the Release Candidates, just come grab the final and run it again.

Please note, only people who own the EZ Animator Deluxe already can get the update. If you think you own one and it’s not giving it to you, IM Keiki Lemieux.

Also, if you were using version 1.1.3 or earlier you should look here on info about how to upgrade your AO.

P.S. I think most current users could say /99update and receive the most updated version this time. However, this will not work for future updates. Future updates must be picked up in person below HUDDLES Headquarters.

Since RC4, I’ve fixed two bugs (changing just two lines of code):

• The new ability to choose a dance to play by touching it WHILE in Dance or Random mode was not perfect. When using a notecard to dance from, the dance you chose would likely be cut too short. This has been fixed.
• After teleporting, if you were using an animation (for instance the Sit Anywhere button), you would appear to not be in that animation, however others around you would see the animation. This is actually a bug in the SL client, but I inserted a short correction for it in the ~Animator script.

When will it be available? Probably tomorrow. I want a day to let me test it with some alts. I’ll post it here on the blog when it’s ready.

• The math error shouldn’t be happening anymore.
• It will remember it’s status when you turn it on and off, across different sessions.
• The problem of drifting away in certain situations shouldn’t happen anymore.

Also, follow the link to find out about the latest options with the flight assist.

The Release Candidate 4 upgrader can be obtained by clicking the green ball on animation island. As before, the object will turn your old EZ Animator Deluxe (v1.0.4 and above) into a shiny new one without you having to move all the animations. I’ve also added instructions on the web on how to do the upgrade. You can read the release notes on the web, however they may be incomplete.

If you have previously upgraded to Release Candidate 1, 2 or 3, you can just use this updater and run the process again.

Please note, only people who own the EZ Animator Deluxe already can get the update. If you think you own one and it’s not giving it to you, IM Keiki Lemieux.

I’ve also added a pink prism you can touch to receive some extra items you may need if you never had version 1.2.0, like the notecard with all the radio streams and HUDDLES Group Radio, the gestures which allow you to press buttons on the hud by click F2-F12, and most important, the ZHAO II Notecard converter.

Also, if you were using version 1.1.3 or earlier you should look here on info about how to upgrade your AO.

Once again, I’m hoping that this will be the last Release Candidate. If I don’t find any bugs within the next week, I’ll put together the final version and get that ready.

If you have previously upgraded to Release Candidate 1 or Release Candidate 2, you can just use this updater and run the process again.

We will be talking about the EZ Animator Deluxe. Topics will include:

• New features of version 1.2.1
• How to update your HUDDLE to the latest Release Candidate version
• How to update your AO notecard to the ZHAO II format
• How macros work with the EZ Animator Deluxe

I posted the transcript on the website.

So many have sent feedback, but one user really stands out. Monica Jewell has found numerous bugs and offered lots of suggestions to either tweak existing features or add new ones. Her input has been indispensable.

Monica is also a content creator, and I haven’t had the chance to look closely at her products, but because of the quality of her suggestions and because she so thoroughly tested the EZAD and found numerous bugs, I’m betting they are worth looking into (if you like BDSM animations and furniture, that is). Her store is named “Monicas Jewells” and if you like how well the EZ Animator Deluxe is working in this version, you might go take a look at her store.
