I hate being called a millennial, because of its implications. And whilst I make no secret of my age, I'm not amused by the prospect of someone claiming that they should be any more wise or experienced than I, simply because they've lived a little longer. Funnily, I do get attacked a lot for attacking the 'millennial generation' whenever the topic comes up
Its because people are so utterly f... bored of hearing about it. Every opportunity some moron has had over the last 15 years its "millennials....wah wah....millennials...so unfair...millennials". The people complaining about millennials are doing far more whining and moaning than millennials themselves. Its become a worn out meme if you will and has always been laughable when you compare the failings of the previous generations to the millennials and realise that the previous generations broke the world in ways the millennials could only dream of doing and yet its millennials that get all of the hate. When you look at the people in power, those responsible for the recession, debt, house price crisis, those dictating war and conflict etc etc hardly any if any at all are millennials, most come from the previous generations and cause far more havoc in the world and...yet....its millennials that people just drone on and on and on about for being.....lazy....
In terms of lazy there was one generation that spent a whole entire decade doing nothing other than bumming around, smoking pot, putting flowers in each others hair and peddling tree woo to those daft enough to fall for it
Sub note : I am a millennial and a master procrastinator who has perfected the fine art of procrastinating procrastination that fully supports the introduction of robotic helpers to do the majority of the difficult tasks we face in life thus freeing us up to live a life of self fulfilled enjoyment and exploitation and nude bathing.

But what happens when almost ALL groups are ones that cost a lot? And I don't feel we should have to pay extra Linden to be premium when what you get for that is not worth it... The Linden premium member homes are a joke... I rent a modest parcel, have a BEAUTIFUL home, and upload and spend A LOT of money in SL without paying more... I pay probably more than some premium members here in SL I should be allotted same amount of groups... FOR SURE!
5 hours ago, MissTauni said:And what is it now? 7 or 8 RL dollars for premium? I upload 4 times that or more in linden a month.... And do they give premium members comparable amount of benefits.. It def does not add up... So, DEFINITELY NOT happening.
So?. I'v probably spent in the regions of six figures in the near 12 years I have been in Second Life. The amount in linden I have uploaded over the years and spent probably makes anything you have spent look like a poor persons pittance. Yet I don't expect special treatment definitely don't come to the forums with self entitled whining. Premium is there as an OPTIONAL extra for those who wish to pay for it. If you want the extra groups then pay premium, if not, don't. If you do premium correctly you can get most of it back, aka choose the per year option. You get 300 lindens a week, thats 15,600 lindens a year. Add on to that your 1000 linden bonus after 45 days thats now 16,600. Currently to purchase that amount of lindens its $66.40. Premium yearly is currently $72 dollars a year. Take the 66.40 away from 72 and you get the grand total of $5.60 now divide that by 12 and your actually paying 46.6 cents a month for premium. Now to hammer the point home a little more.....go to ANY land rental agency, look at the cost of renting 1024 worth of land which is roughly about 600 linden a week. Multiply that by 52 and you get 31,200 linden a year in rental. The current cost of buying that is $124.80. Take that away from the $5.60 and you get NEGATIVE -$119.20.
So to summarise...
*Your getting a years worth of premium
*60 Groups
*Access to experiences if you want it
*Access to regions when full
*1024 worth of land included
For $5.60 a year not including equivalent land rental cost OR
-$119.20 including equivalent land rental cost
Go home..

We already have a generation of people in too deep now, that were raised with phones in their hands,that won't know what to do without them..That makes the human race way more vulnerable than it already was..Let alone much more easier to control and direct people around..look at the impact that tweets and social media have on manipulating many already..
My boys still don't have a cell phone and won't until they are old enough to walk in the store and get one themselves..
I just have never been a big fan of them myself..Especially seeing what they do to people in the work place.I hate to imagine something even easier being thrown into the mix now..
Well, there are many advantages to your children having a cell phone. One is the ability to call you in case anything was to ever happen, thats usually the most important and also to allow you to keep in contact with them if they are ever out anywhere. But the other is recognising that times are changing. Smartphones today serve a much wider purpose than the BS "zombie" argument. They are being used in schools and colleges as educational tools that students can use to look up information in class if they need it, allows them to record lectures etc etc. They allow teenagers an outlet of creativity when it comes to taking photographs, recording videos or getting to grips with many of the free mobile digital development tools that now exist. They also allow teenagers to build memories and keep in contact with their friends. Who by the way, if they are 13 or over, ALL have smartphones. They allow teenagers to look up new and interesting information and keep up to date with the worlds events though the likes of YouTube as well as find streamers who are their peers that they can relate to and learn from. The world has gone digital whether you like it or not and that isn't going to change. By stopping your children from ever having a smartphone....all your really doing is ostracising them from their friends and depriving them of a valuable tool that will ultimately help them in preparing for life in a world that makes good use of them. What you really should do is allow them to have a smartphone once they reach the age of about 13 and teach them how to use it responsibly and also encourage and participate in non smartphone activities with them so they get a healthy balance of the two. Because heres the truth, whether you like it or not they will eventually get one and they WILL spend an inordinate about of time on it. But, the whole "zombies" thing is nonsense, it's always been nonsense. Me and my friends spend a lot of time on our phones sure but we also spend time hanging out in person, grabbing coffee, going for a drive, going for a walk, chatting etc etc as do millions of others that I see who own and use a smartphone. The world is so digitally connected now that unless your in a certain high up age bracket and all your friends meet up weekly at the knitathon for a chat and a coffee...having a smartphone is somewhat of a requirement.

Never only means never until it means now.
It's a fair point.
They said no to lowering land costs, but here we are.
They said no to teleportation via scripts, they even stated they were concerned about the griefing potential, but here we are.
They said no to animated mesh, I have had Jira's closed and refused for requesting that exact feature, but here we are.
They said no to increasing land count, again Jira's have been closed and refused, but here we are.
They said no to increasing object scale beyond 10x10x10 but then they gave us 64x64x64.
Just because they say no to something now doesn't mean they they won't say yes in the future.

It's working out very well. Last month Phil Deakins was downgraded to basic, after being premium for over 11 years, and in March my other annual premium account will follow suit. Then I'll be gone. Thank you for asking.
Uh huh. Do you have any idea how many people I have heard say this. They always claim they are going to leave and give it a few weeks to a few months and out of no where they get "the urge". Its 9pm on a Saturday evening, when they would usually be on SL and they find themselves thinking...
"Hmm, I wonder what's happening on the forum...it won't hurt to look......maybe if I just respond to just one comment.."
Then they decide to log in...just to check in...
"Oh a new feature, I might just take a look...oh this is neat..."
The spend 20 minutes in world and feel their urge being satisfied....
"Well maybe a 1024sqm won't hurt I mean its not much to spend a month, maybe il get premium and then I get some spends as well"
Then suddenly and without even realising it....four hours have passed you by....the addiction returns....

From what I understand, the Experience database is only accessible while the object is within land with your Experience enabled, so it's not very practical for a general-purpose storage system, yet...
Hopefully that will change when global experiences are released. Its a shame there isn't a way to see what data we have stored in our experiences beyond having to look it up via code. If they created an experience database browser then that would be nifty

How is this dump done? A script cannot write to a note card, right?
In general I am enjoying the idea of having a script in SL communicate with "the outside world". I think that is the thing that is making me want to dig into this, not necessarily any practical need.
You have several options for data storage depending on your needs.
1. You could use scripts as they are. They store data in lists or variables perfectly fine and if you need to retrieve the data you could write in a simple llOwnerSay loop to output all of the information into local chat for you to copy and save.
2. You could use script slaves. This method is having a central "server" script, say on your sim with several smaller slave scripts. The server script receives information sent to it and then send it on to the slave scripts to be stored. You would keep a check in each slave script making sure that memory usage doesn't exceed a certain amount. If it does, lets say in slave script 1, then slave script 1 would send the data on to slave script 2 to be stored.
3. Key pair values. This requires you to pay for premium and obtain an experience key but gives you access to key pair data storage which is....basically....access to database storage using in world functions such as llCreateKeyValue(), llReadKeyValue() etc etc
4. An external database. This requires paying for web hosting but allows you to store your data outside of SL in say an SQL database. Web hosting isn't expensive, my host with Xisto costs me 2 dollars a month and suits all my needs. If you are savvy enough you can actually create the database on your own computer and host the data there but for 2 dollars a month....paying for hosting is simpler.
5. Storage in google doc tables. This isn't really all that secure and is slower than other methods but useful non the less.
You are right to explore these options. Data storage is something that comes in very handy depending on the project you are doing. Each one of these has their advantages and disadvantages. For example, using an external database allows you to see and modify the data, if needs be, quite easily but requires you to pay for hosting and usually a web address. Where as using key pair values doesn't give you access to a readable database and requires you to script a way to look up, retrieve and modify specific key values BUT allows you to keep all of your code and storage in world and is very fast and effective. Google docs is simple and effective but slow and not all that secure...etc etc.
Your best bet is to just play around with the different methods and see which ones you feel are right for you. Even if you never end up using any of them its good to have the knowledge of how to do it in your toolkit incase you ever need to in the future.

We do not understand each other. Here Wulfie Reanimator understood what I mean, but for some reason the script does not work, although the idea itself is clear
did you set integer close_button=2; to the link number that is your close button?.
So if your close button is link 4 it would read integer close_button=4;
You can find out what link your close button is by putting llOwnerSay((string)llDetectedLinkNumber(0)); under the touch_start event. Like so :
touch_start(integer x){
llOwnerSay((string)llDetectedLinkNumber(0));
}
When you click your close button it will output the link number in chat.

Напиши, что ты имеешь в виду на русском языке, как я запутался.He means making a close button. Aka an X above the hud that when clicked will close it. I think the "separate myself" refers to hiding the hud over detaching it.

Sinespace is deserted. Good luck finding people in world ... how about on their forums .. I guess not (stats since 2016)
Deserted or not they are the closest thing out there to SL 2.0

What you're describing sounds nothing like SL. Might as well call it something totally different. It doesn't sound like an SL2 to me.
Hmm....this is purely my own personal wants and desires but my version of SL 2.0 would have to include :
-Prims....I don't care what you all say I love in world building. But enhanced, so dividing faces, editing points, edges etc etc. Basically rudimentary "mesh prims". Limitations on how many divisions can be applied etc etc
-Mesh importing BUT with limitations on the complexity of the items that can be uploaded or perhaps a restriction on MB size (see region section further down)
-Maybe texture limits on uploads to keep textures at an acceptable size
-Sound clip lengths extended to 60 seconds or more
-Enhanced LSL 2.0 based on a powerful but simplified language/syntax along the lines of Python, Swift or Lua etc. With other extra features such as custom user function libraries, more enhanced debugging such as stepping through code, code cleanup, predictive function display as you type etc etc
-Added on to the above, more useable controls. In the present day Up, Down, Left, Right, Mouse, Pg_Up, Pg_Down and Shift + Left or Right.....is not enough
-High quality fully customisable starter bodies that actually look decent that ANYONE could create for instead of the elite few.
-Clothing that can be created in world. One idea could be along the lines of current system clothing but more enhanced with more options, way more clothing styles, customisation and rudimentary baking for shadows and occlusion.
-Master user accounts and under that you create your alts which all share inventories.
-Enhanced regions, much larger in scale, with maybe voxel or similar terrain that allows you to tunnel, re shape and remove terrain to your own specifications. Maybe "land count" and prim limitations removed and a switch to restrictions by Megabytes. That way you could possibly have more in your sim than the original 20k prims would allow so long as the size of each item was low enough. Also perhaps enhanced terrain design features that allow you to generate trees and grass. Also the terrain split up into sectors that allow you to apply different textures to different areas...idk stuff
I do have more but I am too tired right now and no longer want to type

Back on topic. I strayed with the beta grid and local textures comment. There is no point in even considering an SL 2 unless these two major points are accepted:
1. Residents give up the notion of being able to hang onto their current inventories, and
2. LL greatly restricts what can be uploaded into the world.
Neither of these will ever be accepted, so what's the point of even discussing the topic?
I would accept it. I would happily start again if the world was decent enough.

timer(){ //Only increment if health is less if(health<(integer)llGetObjectDesc()){ health+=1; llSay(-15238," HEALTH="+(string)health); }else{ //If health is equal to, then stop the timer llSetTimerEvent(0.0); } }Something like this. Also, use an integer to store your health value as opposed to a string.
So integer health=(integer)llGetObjectDesc();

Try learning euler three dimensional mathmatics. The correct short hand notation is X, Y, Z, S. S being the the face of the sphere.
Your talking about the six transformational degrees of freedom I think. The 3 x translational and 3 x rotational and if I remember correctly thats only a thing in duel quaternions. They are talking about how we represent it in LSL aka the rotational variable containing four float components

Another FYI, you used to be able to move HUD attach points by animation too, but those input parameters I think were removed when we got bento.
There is one animation in a particularly old "Combat HUD" that still can do it though.
Which combat hud, I would be curious to see that.

/me points at his name. I use Moe, have used moe since I started. few forum people still call me by the full name, which makes me cringe, There is a moe Whitfield account , which is not mine, which I would LOVED to have, but seeing the rules for this, I can not change to it, so I'm just going to stick with my display name usage.
Idk, I like it. "BigMoe" makes me think of you like as a Furry gangster enforcer. You go around collecting all of the $L debts people owe in world and if they don't pay you just keep stacking prims on top of them as some kind of torture until they can't take any more and either cough up the money or log out 😁. Or if someone somewhere in SL is having trouble with another avatar you just call "BigMoe" who comes over and sorts them out.

8 hours ago, ToMoHiRo Core said:I am a beginner of LSL, but I am doing some difficult challenges.
Currently I am producing tank turrets and I am suffering from this rotation.The turret barrel automatically turns to the direction pointed towards "Mouse Look" mode, but now it is in the 360 degree rotation state.
But this is not normal and I would like to limit the angle of rotation.I wrote several codes to solve, but none of them was satisfied.How do I limit the rotation angle of an object?
Simplest answer I can think of at the moment is to limit the movement of the vertical axis. Your tank is mesh so in theory it should be axis Z but some mesh programs import Y as the vertical axis unless told otherwise. But, you could try converting the rotation into Euler notation so its represented as <X,Y,Z> and then do checks to see if Z>this or Z<that and if so do not perform any further rotations.

Revived JIRA for increase in memory limit
in LSL Scripting
Posted
I will leave this here : http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_101/Comments,_White-space_and_Formatting
More specifically this bit : "The form of the script that is actually executed (called the compiled version) has all the comments and white space removed, so they don't cause the script to execute any slower, or take up any extra memory."
