Status page says the issue has been resolved and all's well now. But Teleports are still not working.

Funny... I been having connection issues for awhile; in general... not just with SL. So I just replaced my Router with a temporary one, to find out of it was a problem with my Router... or my PC. Then suddenly SL started acting up, so I logged out to try to relog, and found the Grid was down... so came here and found this discussion. Anyway, I just got back on with firestorm... But.... I still cant TP... Its like the rest of the Grid around me is non existent.

No SL isn't crashing, though I appreciate your reply. I also know its not the video card itself as all my other games run just fine on the video card without issues; and its the only display adapter showing in my device manager so I'm confused as to how SL can even find another one to use.

Why does my Second Life say it is using a "Windows Graphics Driver" ... and not the Driver for my AMD Radeon card? The onboard video is disabled in the BIOS and the computer is only using the Radeon Card. Is this "Windows Graphics Driver" the reason why Second Life is running so horribly slow?

So I'm looking to set up Experiences on a parcel that I own... Only I really have absolutely no idea how to do it or what I'm doing.. I've read this: https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/experiences-in-second-life-r1365/ I've read this: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:Experience_Tools So what do I do now? How do I make my Experience attach a hud to someone? Where do I get the hud from and how do I make it do what I want it to do? How do I make the experience animate their AV, or tell them to touch an object... or say I want them to step onto an invisible prim and have it automatically animate or pose their AV in a certain way (considering they click to accept when it asks them permission to animate or pose them), can Experiences do that? I'm presuming there are special scripts somewhere that I can just use, to do these things? I sorta hoped that was what that second link was going to be, a library of scripts to use that I could just.. copy and paste... but it wasnt that at all. I haven't really got my parcel set up just right yet for the Experience, because I don't really know what I'm doing, with the Experience.. I was hoping for a library of pre-made Experience scripts that I could just copy/paste to experiment with, and see what they do and then redesign my Parcel around it all... I'm pretty sure I want people to arrive at a set landing point ( which I have ) and from there be introduced to the Experience, maybe have a HUD that attaches to them and from there have a couple doorways or portals that lead to other locations on the parcel, that they just a walk into, and whoosh, they're at the other location. Or maybe have them be required to solve small puzzle or recite a specific phrase in local, to be able to access/use a portal.. or make the portal appear to them when they recite the phrase in local chat. Can the Experience tell them whether or not I am online? Can it tell them if anyone else is online, like say I have a friend assisting me with things on that parcel, can it tell them if that friend is online? I know there are scripted online indicators, but can I have them, for example, touch an object or recite a phrase in local chat, and the experience inform them something like.. "this person is not available to respond at this time" ... Can the Experience be used to detect their Avatar presence at a specific location, or standing on a specific prim.. and the Experience make a temporary object be made visible to them, to interact with .. and then remove/delete that object when they are no longer within that immediate vicinity? Can I have it make a temporary portal be made visible, for them to use, then remove/delete when they're gone to the new location? I don't really know anything about scripting and have always just bought a script that does what I want... So I really have no idea what I can or can not do with Experiences, other then I know it can attach a hud to you, and whisk you to other areas, as I've been to places that do that... and I have a pretty good idea that with Experiences, I can probably restructure my Parcel a bit to have fewer prims used, or at least I'm hoping too...

I'll check out Singularity... Looks like they just issued an updated viewer sometime last year, I didn't even realize it as I still have their previous version from like 2015 or so that didnt support mesh objects! lol

Thank you for that answer Whirley. It is pretty much what I expected... that, and the likely fact that the Linden's probably don't even know how/what to tell AMD about it, and that AMD likely wouldn't even care to listen to them cause SL is such a small platform to be concerned about issuing 1 small fix for...

So I just replaced my aging GTX 770 4GB video card, with a newer RX 580 8GB one. Went through the whole process of wiping out all the old drivers, etc.... everything is working fine. Except SL! Now I am seeing peoples LookAt targets, literally... everywhere... though not everyones, just, a lot of them... Thing is, I am seeing them through walls, through terrain even... from like 2 - 3 regions away! Someone is just sitting idle in their house, and not camming anything or anywhere... and yet I can see their Look At target! Nothing else has changed for me, except the video card and its drivers. Sure, I know I can resolve this instantly by going into my Preference, under the Privacy tab, and uncheck "show look at targets" .... But thats not the point here... the point here being that I shouldn't have to do that! I shouldn't BE seeing someone's look at target, while they're sitting/standing idle in another region from me, and their little target cross hair is doing nothing other then floating in front of their face... and yet I can see it through every single obstacle between me and them?!?!

I can ask about that, but it will probably just be easier for me to just use a 1 click teleport script. I just thought it would be "cool" to have players simply "walk into" a portal, but clicking once accomplishes the end result as well.

I think it does use Experience... Didn't realize this type of portal function was dependent on that. I wanted to use it as part of my roleplay base in another region that uses a different system...

So I was visiting a star wars roleplay region on an alt the other day... called Legacies Telos IV, on a region called Fourth Dimension. They have these doors where, all you have to do is just walk into them, and you're automatically teleported/delivered to another location in the Region.. no clicking involved. You just walk into the door and poof. The script is embedded in a non-physical/invisible prim that is placed just before the door itself... so you basically walk through the scripted prim and it automatically teleports you. I've since tried contacting the creator of the script used in those doors, asking if he had them for sale somewhere, but he has never responded. I am wondering if anyone knows of anything similar though, that might be available on the marketplace?

I have no intention of copying legitimate protected work of someone else... I'm a content creator myself, doing occasional custom build work on commission. I just want a statue of my avatar to put in the "HQ" that I'm building, for a Roleplay group that I lead. A friend suggested that I just take a picture of my Avatar in the pose that I want; against a "green screen" background or whatever. Then save it to PC and use GIMP to edit/modify it, eliminate all the background color and making it an Alpha texture; re-upload into SL and stick it into an object with a holo projection script. This is probably the option I'll do until I can afford the expense of outfitting an Alt with all the same key items (mesh body/head/skin applier/etc).. as I already have an Alt within the same Group, that I use on a Text Viewer.

Thanks for the response. I'd need it in the SL grid, so Opensim probably wouldn't work I guess. Though, sounds like I would just be better off doing it with an alt account and sticking the avatar on a pose stand/pose ball to fill the role of being a statue.

I am just wondering... Is there a way to create a copy of my mesh/bento Avatar with its mesh/bento head, including its existing skin textures, eyes, hair, etc... and re upload it into SL and make it be a mesh statue? Or would it be easier to just make an Alternate account, name it "statue of etc" and basically just buy the same mesh body, head, hair, etc for it, give it the same shape.... and set it on a pose stand and call it a statue?

@LittleMe Jewell Thank you! Yeah I didn't expect a little 128m2 to sell immediately, I could be stuck with it for awhile... Worst case scenario, I might end up buying the 896m2 lot next door... cause, if I'm gonna be paying for 2048, then I may as well actually own 2048! LOL
