Perplexing Issue on MP upload

[Fayre Scribe]

Hi all.
I just uploaded an outfit onto the marketplace. All pieces are okay except for the skirt. I'm getting an error that says prims numbered 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 are missing a sculpt map. Firstly, it's a skirt, there are no sculpt maps in it or ever were. It's all flexi prims. Secondly (the perplexing part), I tore the skirt apart and checked each prim by number to try to figure out what it's talking about and though it's a 59 prim skirt, there are NO prims numbered 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36. I went through twice. Those numbers don't exist in this skirt.

Scratches head. So prims that don't exist according to the numbers on the prims are missing sculpt maps that were never put into the skirt.

What's up with this?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Okay. I separated all the prims into groups still linked. In edit it says there are 59 prims. But in counting them, there are 54. The prims mentioned above are missing but are still being counted. I turned on translucent but nothing shows up. So there are no invisible prims. The skirt is wearable... but the MP won't let me list it with the errors.

Hi Fayre,

First, please see: https://www.kitely.com/virtual-world-ne ... -products/

Prim numbers indicate the link order that was stored in the linkset. It's hard to know what those are by just viewing the unlinked prims themselves so it's best to use the Debug tool that is mentioned in the aforementioned article so the prims will be highlighted in red when you rezz them.

The tool states that the items are missing a sculpt map because the prims are referencing a sculpt map that isn't included in your item. Were those prims imported into Kitely from a different grid? If so, was it done via the Hypergrid or an OAR file?

My suggestion is that you check all the textures that are used by the prims and make sure that they aren't missing (they may appear blank if they are missing so if there are ones that appear blank then make sure they are actually set to blank).

Oh.. my bad. So I knew I had this skirt in SL. So I went there. And lo and behold, the skirt to this dress in SL HAS 6 sculpty pieces on it.

Weirdly, there's no way I could export it out of SL with those pieces. So did I export it out without those pieces to make it in InWorldz??? If so why does it think those pieces are still there? Or did it export out and just strip those sculpt maps out. But why can't I see ANY prim, not even a misshaped one where the pieces were. And they don't highlight in edit mode.

The vendor I have with the outfit in it would have been on my OAR from InWorldz.

If I did export it out without those pieces, why does it think it still has the pieces. Hmmm finding the cause is great, but makes it all that much more confusing. But at least I know what I'm up against. lol

Now I'll have to redo all the skirts and vendor pics. Faints.
