MEAO does the Seamless Sit thing now.

A while back, Moeka Kohime added a neat enhancement to ZHAO-II, called Seamless Sit. It's brilliantly simple: if you sit on an object and the default SL "sit" animation is stopped, then the device is providing its own animations, so the AO shouldn't try to do its own thing. Most pose balls and furniture already do this, because the default sit is at a fairly high priority (4) and gets in the way. This replaces the AutoZHAO system we used to use.


There are a few items in world that will still require a manual AO off, the ones I'm aware of are the furniture sold under the SexGen and NeoLove names. Furniture driven by MLP and Xpose does work with Seamless Sit, though.

We also stabbed a stupid teleport bug that could get in the way if you were wearing more than one AO. Thanks to Shamus Carter for finding this one!

The updates are up on Xstreet, and in the vendor at our little shack in world.

To update, stop your AO, delete the old MEAO core and interface scripts plus the old READ ME - MEAO notecard, and drag the new ones in from your inventory. Or you could, you know, like, read the READ ME notecard, if you're into that kind of thing.

After making any changes to an attachment, it is a really, really good idea to take off the attachment, wait a couple of minutes, then reattach. That will help ensure that changes stick. This comes from a weird old SL quirk that seems to have recently become more commonplace.
