I’m happy to present you with the start of the Loco Pocos Halloween range!

To start off, we have three new avatars as seen below!

As with other Loco Pocos avatars, they come with the full AO, gestures and animations!

But this is not all there is to find at Loco Pocos in October! There are also some really fun Halloween accessories that are available in the Halloween section of the store, and more will come during the month, so make sure to come back!

And as if it couldn’t get better, towards the end of the month there will be a special event like none other in SL - so keep your eyes open!

Loco Pocos is MOVING!

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:34 am by Damien Fate

Nothing much to worry about, but next week sometime Loco Pocos will be moving it’s position on the world map from it’s current location to a brand new area of the virtual globe.

This means that there may be a day you cannot use the map to search Loco Pocos in SL - but fear not! Your landmarks will still work :)

Spooky Plans for this Halloween

Posted in Uncategorized at 3:56 pm by Damien Fate

I’m currently busying myself away on creating a line of Halloween based accessories and avatars!

Not only that, but I have on my lap some plans for a unique event that will take place on Loco Pocos Island closer to the 31st of October which you won’t find anywhere else in SL :)

Details soon!

Loco Pocos TOYS Now Available!

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:11 am by Damien Fate

I’m happy to present you with the start of the Loco Pocos Toys range!

To start off, we have three toys as seen below!

As usual, they’re available in a variety of colours and skins and are fully copy/modify for your convenience!

One thing I must say though, is that the toys are currently version 0.9. This doesn’t mean that they’re broken or have less features than version 1.0 will have, it is mainly because toys were not supposed to be released until I release version 1.5 of Loco Pocos avatars. But as you no doubt read, this has been delayed!

So I held off from doing much for a while, but it’s been too long! I decided today to release the toys as version 0.9 - the only difference is that they are not integrated with the current Loco Pocos HUD. An easy fix is that I have given you an additional hud for the toys specifically for now.

When I feel version 1.5 of the avatars can be released, your toys will also be automatically updated to version 1.0.

Until then, enjoy!

Loco Pocos Version 1.5 DELAYED :(

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:24 pm by Damien Fate

Hi everyone,

I am sorry to say that I have to hold off releasing version 1.5 until certain issues are addressed with MONO scripting.

After adding all the new features (and then some!) to the Loco Pocos avatars and converting every single script to mono, I discovered that mono just doesn’t work nearly as well or as constant as it should.

You see, I scripted them on Loco Pocos Island, where the mono scripting (at the time) was lightning fast, worked like a dream. With this new found speed I improved a few other features to go along with it.

A day later that speed was suddenly gone, and mono was very very slow, maybe 100 times SLOWER than regular LSL scripts. I tested this out and it seemed that it was kind of random depending on which sim I was in if mono would live up to it’s potential. Regular LSL scripts continued to work just fine.

So now that I have updated all the avatars to 1.5 with mono I am forced to wait on releasing them until these issues clear up, I can’t release an avatar that will be broken.

If that wasn’t cruel enough, here’s a confirmed list of new features you’re going to get when Mono works:

- New re-uploaded animations to combat avatar unfolding
- New improved AO
- Typing animation overrider (So now you type just like a big av)
- Typing AO is toggleable
- Hands respond much quicker to being removed and create the ‘fake’ hand
- One HUD works for all, this is very good news and allows easier updates on the HUD
- More sleeve options for shirts. Now there are 5 sleeve styles!
- Permission fixes on some wrongly permissive items
- Compatibility with TOYS and Quest HUD (more on this soon)

1.5 is fantastic, I can’t wait to share it with you!

Stay tuned :)

Loco Pocos Version 1.5 Coming Soon!

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:14 am by Damien Fate

Hi all!

Very soon I will start working on Loco Pocos version 1.5!

One of the main reason for this new update is because MONO is coming to SL. “Mono is up to 220x faster than LSL2″, the scripting language that Loco Pocos relies heavily upon. This will mean your avatar and accessories will become even more responsive and less laggy for sims (they’re really not that bad anyway!)

Version 1.5 updates include:

- Conversion to MONO scripting engine
- More pant legs/arm sleeves options available for future accessories
- Added compatibility for TOYs accessories coming soon :)
- HUD improvements, “One HUD fits all”
- Quest HUD compatibility (more on this in the future)
- Permission problem fixes
- Scripting improvements (aside from mono)

There may be some more changes, I’ll let you know as soon as I know!
