Line by line? Sure hun, and thanks for your reply. 0. create free sl account, dl and install the sl viewer. log in. 1. open your inventory. 2. click the "create" menu 3. select "new gesture" 4. change the default /hay! trigger to something more appropriate 5. one at a time, select the two default "waves" animation and "waves" sound, and delete them by clicking delete. 6. select "chat" from the list, click "add" button. 7. enter first line of ascii gesture. 8. repeat step 7. for all other lines of ascii gesture. 9. click save. 10. click preview 11. rename the gesture in your inventory. 12. get your avatar looking good 13. go to a dance club (Bad Girls!) and show them off! 14. start selling and or giving them to people. That's pretty well it. You can of course use menu driven copy and past, but the standard windows/linux keyboard shortcuts are a lot faster. Also as you would probably know, blank spaces can get lost. The main problem being that you can only (well I only know how to) add one chat lines at a time; and the area you can view your art in as you make it is quite small (can't see all of larger art at once), so you have to trigger them to see them in full, then tweak as needed. You could google second life gestures, and look at the youtube clips by Torly Linden(sp?), for more details on adding sounds and animations to your gestures. Have fun! -Xam Landar -Bad Girls Dancer
