Some Asset Issues

Postby MTKnife » Mon Oct 05, 2020 10:48 pm

This hair material shares filenames with an existing material, for the same core asset: http://www.makehumancommunity.org/conte ... 1_red.html. The author of the new asset couldn't have known that, since the older asset was uploaded before we had a way to mark materials that go with core assets, and there's no real search function. The upshot is that anyone looking for materials they haven't yet downloaded won't even see the new one if the old one has been downloaded already--and one can't be downloaded without overwriting the other. I'd suggest renaming the files in the new one to "ponytail_metallic_red.*".

A few people have described the bottom half of a bikini as a "slip", for example, http://www.makehumancommunity.org/cloth ... _slip.html. I'm guessing that, in some languages, the word that translates to English as "slip" has multiple meanings. In English, it's pretty specific (this is the first definition Google throws up):

a woman's loose-fitting, dress- or skirt-length undergarment, suspended by shoulder straps ( full slip ) or by an elasticized waistband ( half slip ).


A slip is typically worn under a skirt (or dress)--or rather, it was typically worn, and it's rarely seen nowadays, especially in casual clothes, though some skirts and dresses have slips sewn in (basically, just an inner layer of a different material).

I'm afraid that, despite the otherwise extensive vocabulary of English, replete with borrowings from all over the world, we haven't come up with a real name for the bottom half of a bikini, which we call, uncreatively, a "bikini bottom". There's more nuance to the use of "bikini", which can also refer to underwear (this is English--there's always nuance in meanings). If you're curious, see https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions ... i-swimsuit. However, "bikini bottom" is the one term in English that unambiguously refers to the lower part of a two-piece women's swimsuit.

Good catch MTKnife as for the eccentricities of English we may be out of luck :roll:
