LittleMe Jewell Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Merchants that are confused about their store name. A store at the Shop & Hop: The gift contains a landmark with one store name. A demo that I grabbed contains a landmark for another store name. The store itself does not actually have a sign proclaiming it's name. After scrutinizing the store ads very closely, I did determine that those match the name in the Gift. Not sure where the name in the Demo comes from.

LittleMe Jewell Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) OMG - and creators that STILL give out notecards with something similar to the following (I received this in one of the Shop & Hop gifts): In order to see the mesh correctly you can increase the LOD (Level of detail). Follow these instructions please: 1. CTRL+ALT+D to activate the Advanced menu 2. In the menu click on "Show debug settings" 3. A window will appear. Look for: RenderVolumeLODFactor 4. Set as value a number around 7.000 When I get something like that there is a 99.99% chance that I will never buy something from that creator.

LittleMe Jewell Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Wow, I'm on a roll today. Must be due to the size of Shop & Hop and how long it takes to check it all out. I've been doing a handful of regions each day, but it is still a lot. Anyway, IMO, the merchants that use vendors that 'refund the sales discount' to you after purchasing are doing themselves a disservice. When I'm shopping, I simply check the price of an item, assuming it is set to sell at the sale price. If it is more than I feel like paying for it, then I move on. If the sale price would have nabbed me, but I have to first pay full price and then get refunded, the sale was lost. I seldom notice the signs saying that I will be refunded - and even if I do see them, I'm often not in the mood for mental math on some percentage of an odd numbered price. Merchants should want to make buying easy for the customer. Edited July 7, 2022 by LittleMe Jewell 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) I wonder when I see an old, sub-par item for the gift, something that can only be used if you buy something else, or something that has nothing to do with the primary items they sell, if this merchant feels like it's a good thing when they don't give out many gift items? Do they think giving a gift is a loss of potential sales, so they don't want to waste much time or money on it? No. The more gifts you end up giving out that make potential customers want to come back to buy something, the better your advertising is working. There is a limit to this idea, but it doesn't apply for Shop & Hop. A very few creators have given out so many free group gifts that their customers may not feel the need to buy much. I think this was part of the marketing problem that LaVian used to have. (They're no longer inworld.)

Love Zhaoying Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Peeve: Scripting JSON functions and trying way too hard to avoid Lists. Literally, the entire master script doesn't use 1 llList() function. Then, figuring out that all the missing JSON functionality can be done with 1 line of code if I just use Lists. Json Array=>List=>Get Json Array length Json Array=>List=>Check if Json Array entry already exists Json Array=>List=>Sort Json Array Json=>List=>CSV Get Json Array in CSV * Note: Depending on the Json, I have to get a strided list to get just the values I want. Otherwise, I could just use llJson2List(). * I could say that I wasted a lot of time doing stuff the hard way (avoiding List) until now, but I was having fun. So the Pet Peeve is: knowing that I wasted the effort. Not knowing = no Peeve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's "relevant" to Second Life! If I start a new thread for each scripting "Peeve" over there, it won't go well. If I try to piggyback on the "Script Efficiency" thread over there, it won't go well. Perhaps we need a "Pet Peeve" thread in each Forum?

Or, for preference, single cask. Depending on the mood it might be an 18yo Oban or a Laphroaig.
