Jazmine Larkham Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Local chat (incl emotes, shout , and nearby) doesn't work for me on my land (or in same region). No one sees my chats nor are they logged on computer cache. Others can use local chat, including my ALT for testing. I have no issues in other regions. The problem persists with different viewers and different computers. Is it possible for there to be an object in the region that mutes me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disable RLV, RestrainedLove or RLVa in your Viewer Preferences (Ctrl+P), relog, and try again. You've probably left a poorly-scripted object rezzed on your land, e.g. a gag. Attachments with RLV may affect your SL experience while they're rezzed (on the ground) and you're the owner of them - unconditionally. You can maybe find out which object it is by checking your Restrictions list (with RLV enabled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazmine Larkham Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I finally found out the issue (sort of). Thanks Freya for getting me looking in the right direction. I don't normally use RLV, but I installed Firestorm to test some furniture a while back. Although RLV was disabled, apparently I was still wearing the BRIDGE (still not really sure what it was doing) even if I switched to SL viewer. Took off the BRIDGE. All is well. Restarted Firestorm, and new BRIDGE works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Mokusei Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I don't use Firestorm and don't trust the Bridge mechanism that Firestorm uses. Curious that such a device would attempt to control your chat (esp. under other viewers). Regardless, I'm glad you got it figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesha Askham Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I seriously doubt that simply removing/re-creating the Firestorm bridge would have such an effect, it may have been a setting on the RLVa operating in connection with the furniture, but otherwise it may simply have been a glitch in your connection with SL as you logged in that was causing issues. I have to say that in three years of using Phoenix and Firestorm viewers I have not had such a problem, and I take issue with people who promulgate distrust in that viewer. The bridge and its LSL script would have no function in any other viewer. As with so many transient issues in SL, a relog can seem to have miraculous effects!

Cincia Singh Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't see how identifying a possible glitch in the bridge is promulgating distrust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Mokusei Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yeah, the explanation makes little sense to me. OP reports RLV was disabled on their affected (non-FS) viewer, so presumably this wasn't an RLV effect at all. I can't imagine the bridge would be required for local chat usage, and yeah it wouldn't have affected non-FS viewers. It's a mystery. My issues with FS aren't relevant, I added them to my opening post as background. Use whichever viewer gives you the happy fuzzies, YMMV, etc. (Just so long as the source matches the binary.)

If you have the Phoenix/Firestorm bridge attached, ever, it will stay attached until you consciously removie it, and the scripts will run. If you're wearing it while using another viewer it will run just long enough to check to see if you're using Firestorm - if you are it will perform its characteristic functions and if you aren't, it SHOULD go to sleep for the rest of that session. It's been known to glitch though. The Firestorm JIRA has quite a few reports of the bridge causing issues that even the developers don't expect it to that are fixed by recreating it.

Darien Caldwell Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 It could have been the bridge, or any Scripted object, and *not* related to RLV. The servers have anti-spam meausres built in, if you own any object that spams messages, even on non-public channels such as the Debug channel, it will mute you until the object is removed from the sim. That's likely what happened here.

Freya Mokusei Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks Dari! I'd forgotten about this. It's curious that it only seemed to happen at the OP's home - if it was just an attachment (like the Bridge) this would've happened everywhere they went, after a while. Still a puzzle, but that certainly seems to explain a few things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
