How To Create Thumbnail For Space

[Trixi Fang]

I used to know the answer to this, but it's been so long, I've forgotten! Could someone please put me out of my misery and tell me how to upload a Spaces tab 'thumbnail' photo for a space? It would be much appreciated. Do you have to buy a Flickr widget?

Also, as a completely random side note: does anyone know the code that enables NPCs and missions to address the player by their name?

On the OG SW, you used to have to set up floor murals in a specific way and then capture the floor mural image with the screenshot you'd use to normally set a space's thumbnail. On SV though, I'm not sure if there's an "easier" way, as some of the space thumbnails aren't perfectly square, which makes me think there might be a way to upload the screenshot without having to fuff around with floor murals. I'm sure someone else has a better answer to the first question than me! But I just remember using floor murals on the original game.

As for this question: $avatarname will address an avatar by their first name; $avatarfullname will address an avatar by their full name.

Ahh, thank you! I couldn't remember for the life of me how to do either. I'll give the floor murals a try. But yes, you might be right - perhaps there is another way we don't know about. Would be great if it were easier to configure!
