The TGA sail template for the Flying Tako allows for some wonderful customization of this lovely little sailing vessel. Alan Kiesler has made it even easier for users of Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro; he’s created files for both graphics apps that include all the alpha channel information and a layer for your own graphics, greatly simplifying the process of making your own custom sail.

I’ve replaced the template download in my original article with Alan’s template package; follow this link to download his generous efforts.

The recent 1.11.1 version of Second Life shifted from the older settings.ini file to a new, XML-based configuration file called settings.xml. It’s great to see progress toward an end-user-modifiable XUI-based interface, but it does play havoc with clever hacks like displaying arbitrary web pages in the F1 help browser.
