Hello Perrie
You have an interesting point. Is is possible that someone can overload ones graphics? Yes I have seen this happen. I think Firestorm has added a feature that limits some of this. Preferences/Firestorm/Protection. Another aspect I have noticed is Avatar Render Weight. In the past I used to look at "cost" to Render my avatar to the server. Advanced/Performance Tools/ Show Render Weight. Now I notice a BIG change in this value. Before values were somewhere in the Tens of thousands at highest. Now the title has changed. It now shows..Textured_and_Downloaded. And the values have gone way up! I see values in the Hundreds of thousands! Highest so far is 662866 and counting! What do these higher values mean? Exactly what is it that has increased this by a factor of 10! And as I stated in other post here how does this effect the Viewer side rendering and graphics settings of ones Viewer? I would hope that the Magicians of LL would give us some feedback on this so we may find a better experience here in SL.

Hello Tarina,
As saying goes welcome to SL. Yes what you are experiencing is happening to me as well. And I expect many more. I also using Firestorm latest release. Also I have NVIDA 660 Ti latest graphics driver. Ever since LL started this sever side baking it has wrecked havoc on my graphics. No one has given us any explanation of where the best settings will be for this roll out. I question some of the old settings now that the server is taking over some of what the viewer was doing. Some of these are:
Avatars Avatar Imposter Hardware Skinning All of these are used by viewer to "enhance" avatar. How do these work with new sever side operation? Also what about the "bridge" that attaches to all avatars in Firestorm? What happens with this now new baking is implemented?
I have tried many adjustments to graphics and have yet to find one that gives stability. I am afraid this will take some time to work out IF it can be. I am not sure LL has thought this through but then again it maybe a way of removing 3rd party viewers from SL. I have yet to try Lindens viewer have not used for over 3 years but if this continues one may have to to see if this gives better stability in SL. I truly wish that this will be last BIG change in SL for while and Linden will gives us all a break to really enjoy this experience of Second Life. I wish all here good luck on this adventure "to improve" the experience of SL. Hello? Linden are you listening.. Hello?... Darn crashed again.....

I read in knowledge base about reclaiming land. It states:
Reclaiming land parcels from tenants
If one of your tenants has violated the terms of your covenant and you wish to evict him and reclaim his land in your Private Region, you can choose the Reclaim Land... button from the ABOUT LAND window:
Reclaiming land switches ownership of the parcel, but not the objects on it, back to the estate owner.
Can someone tell me where this button is? I do not see in About Land window.
Thanks KarenMichelle I am listed as Estate manager for sim (am nto Owner ) and assume I have ability to control. I do not see Reclaim button. It maybe because the land I have and live on in the Estate is deeded to a Group. I may have to revert Group land back to my ownership before I see the button. As for now all I see is Abandon Land on renters parcel. -
Has anyone else noticed lately that after you enter a Sim and stand around awhile, especially not moving, and then try to teleport somewhere there is a lag before happening. Or even worse..you go no where and have to cancel. I was wondering because one is not interacting with the environment is the server "dropping" you? This started awhile back and I just sort of Ignored cause thought was no biggy. But now has continued for awhile it has my interest. Is this being done to "conserve" server time? Is it my computer? A bug in the Viewer? (Firestorm). It now has my attention so thought would post here and see what pops up :matte-motes-big-grin-evil: I also wonder how this new "Server side" baking is going to effect teleporting.

Hello Lika. The orange collector works sporadically at different locations. As you know they are 4 portal parks with 6 different lands to enter from each. Park 1, 2 and 3 have portals III, IV, V , VI. Park 4, which has language in Portuguese, has VII and VIII.There is a Exchange house at each land. Sometimes one can try to go to different lands and try. I submitted a ticket to Linden about the issue. I also suggested they think about changing how the platforms are set up. As you know to redeem one has to "touch" platform each time to collect. So if one has say 1000 orange crystals one would have to "touch" platform 20 times to collect. This makes for a crazy time when you have 3 - 4 avatars there trying to collect. I suggested they change to a "lump sum" payout so it one were to have say 425 orange one would receive the total amount (40L) for just one touch.Leaving one with balance of 2 crystals. This would free up the platform and make for quicker exchange. Lets hope that Linden will spend a little time refining this game. I think t offers many people a chance to play, earn and hopefully enjoy a bit of SL.

NOTE: I should have said "Without any speacial HUDS or scripts" sorry. If lindne keeps Realms around I do hope more try this. It can be fun for anyone just wanting to learn to control avatar and learn to dodge. And yes you can make some $cash at the same time. Good Luck

Nice write up and picture Chic. Yes Linden added this after what I imagine is complaints about "cheaters" in Realms. If also noticed there MANY more signs posted that give THE RULES to follow as it pertains to the game.. To quote :
- Flying is not permitted in Linden Realms.
- Use of ‘bots’ or other automated software (internal or external) to enhance game play mechanics is not permitted.
- Use of any object, devices, HUDs, scripting, etc to enhance speed, movement and award collection rates is not permitted
So what they have done is install these little cloud monsters to take care of some of these. What you find is if one was to FAST walk.. Jump higher than normal jump or fly well these "Clouds" descend on you and block ones path. Eventually they will tap and send you "HOME" where ever that maybe. I think its a warning to get ones act together and to RUN as a NOOB does.. Or you can use some HUD based runs. Flying is OUT. HIgh jumps bring the clouds down on you and away you go OUT of Realms. I learned to adjust and after while got down to having fun again. Actually you can collect quite a few crystals with ANY special HUDS or scripts. Now it seems LInden has also added more crystals because of restrictions BUT now the COLLECTORS are running out of cash especially the ORANGE. This game is fun to play and enjoyable way to spend some down time away form drama. Lets hope Linden can get act together and put some more time into this because it is a nice way to have fun and earn a little $L at same time. Come on Linden keep this going your on to something : )

You right About turned off Roderick. I tried every Land portal in Realms and No orange collector works. I wish Linden would at least give heads up. Maybe post something on the grid to tell people the whats and why. I think this is a great idea that LInden has developed. Yes there are issues.. And yes there are "cheaters" but for those who are starting out and those who find scrounging for $L distasteful this is a way to have fun and earn some $L. NO ones going to get rich here. I do know Linden has put into place some prevention for "fast" runners and high jumpers. THey also have posted signs everywhere about the RULES of what's allowed. So come on Linden don't give up keep working in perfecting a great way for people to have fun and earn a little $L, Oh and please would someone check the ORANGE collectors there ALL out of $L. Thanks and keep up the good work : )

Left out of these lists is *Birth* . I find then outstanding especially for Male avatars. Great selection of body types is given with each style and price is reasonable.

Hello Don. It is possible you are having a conflict with Skype. If you so a search of Web for Skype conflicts you will see that at times it can cause issues with Routers and Modems. Packet loss can result form many different issues. One can be your ISP provider "throttling" down your connection when you approach you allowed limit. Another is the connected path you use to get to Linden Lab servers. Depending on where you live it may take 4 - 5 Hubs to get there each creating a possible packet loss. Try doing the search for Skype conflicts first and this may help you better establish correct settings for Router. Also you may want to try a test where you do not have Skype active on any system and see if you experience the same issue. Good luck.

Hello Isis. Welcome to the club of No Voice chat in SL
Joining it appears is a random thing and can happen to anyone as I just experienced. Spent 2 days working on and still could not get an answer. Here is another Post of same issue that may help it helped me. Best to read through all and see what may help you. Good luckhttp://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Server/SL-Voice-Not-Working/td-p/1480921

Ok for some reason I no longer have voice chat. I am using latest Firestorm. Was working before. I did a complete "clean install". I also loaded SL viewer and copied all the voice files that pertain to voice into Firestorm and still nothing. I tried everything that is listed in all the Wiki sources. I eve disabled my firewall and anything that maybe blocking. I checked the Task Manager and yes SLvoice is there in Process. I am at wits end... Does anyone have an idea that might work???
Thanks for replies. Here is what I have done so far. I completely removed all SL viewers from 'puter removed all reference in Registry of any SL item.(SL, Phoenix, Firestorm) I then installed latest Firestorm release. When I log on voice still not working but when I UNCHECK Enable Voice I can see my microphone working fine. Can adjust and see boxes showing Mic level. As soon as I check ENABLE VOICE nothing. The "dot" does not appear above my head nor does the Microphone button light up... I guess I will just have to forgo using voice ever again in SL. I did find interesting viewer has nothing to do with voice that Vioxx is link...Think maybe I have been banned from Vioxx servers?? Thanks again for answers.. -
Just ugraded to latest Firestorm viewer and now when I click on Destination Guide icon I get : "Page not found. Content not avaliable right now. We appologize plese try again later" Ok that was 2 days ago... did I do something or is there a bug I should know about. Was nice feature and am hoping that I can somehow get this to work. Anyone got idea?
UPDATE: Thanks for the posts I checked all the usual stuff and then went to Phoenix/Firestorm jira and posted. It is a bug in the newest release code and will e fixed on next release. So for me its back to old release without Pathfinding and such which is ok since I have no need at this time. Did clean install and now works fine! : ) Phoenix group refered to me the code but is over my head. Still not sure why it odes not work on my 'puter. Will wait till next release. -
Cheapest price in SL. $6250 a week. $25000 a month. Nice setting

Found this article on simulation of virtual worlds requirement and challenges. For those real Techy geeks who would like understand what Linden is trying to do here in Second life is a very good read. In fact maybe even they would appreciate :)

Hello Nikki. A lot in Firestorm depends on ones graphic capabilities and of course settings. When one first loads it will set to standard default settings most common and that works best for "most" graphics. Its best to just read and then try what works best on your setup. Here's the link...
http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/
Might look under Troubleshooting guide. It is a good viewer just takes time. Good luck.

Hello Nicola. Yes adding a house with a basement is not easy and using rezzer to do terraforming will not work. The best way to try is to know the dimensions of house. say its 30 x 40. Then place some markers that are to that size on the land. Then use terraforming tool and click on the land near one of the markers. You will see a yellow box appear drag this box till it is a bit larger than marked area then release. Then select Lower. Set Strength at low setting. Then click on. Each time you do the land will be lowered. This gives you a fairly square or rectangle "hole" continue till the depth you need is obtained. Remember to start on land that is already high else you will end up with a basement of water
After you set house then you can "fill in a bit around basement. You will never get it completely around and beside. Best you can do then is fill in with some plants. Hope this helps. Best to practice a bit before adjusting the terraforming settings that will work best. Good Luck! -
I was wondering does anyone know where the Virtual Land dispute stands between Linden Labs and Evans ,Spencer and Carter? http://www.virtuallanddispute.com/ . What if any effect will this have on Land rights to individuals in SL? Since most if not all SL economy depends on land and through which $L price is determined the outcome may have a large effect on both. I read where Linden settled previous case Bragg v. Linden for undisclosed amount and because of this the TOS and arbitration clause was amended. Where does this now leave those that "trust" Linden to fairly and justly arbitrate. Land is a big issue in SL mainly because without "land" nothing can be done. How that land is "given" and held and what rights one has seems to be the issue. Land has become a complex issue in SL. Pricing of course has always been what determines the worth of currency. This latest suit is a class action suit which is much larger than previous. How will this be handled? What effect will this have on Land in SL? How much will these individuals receive if a settlement is given? Is that settlement fair for those that fairly Buy/Sell land in SL? I have yet to see Linden talk about this. Would be nice to know how confident Linden Labs is about the future of Second Life as it now exists.

The God of Linden has struck again. Blessed be he who receives :matte-motes-big-grin-squint:

Your right about that Skylar. Even LSL code is acting erratic. One wonders ..It seems that after Linden Labs purchased LittleTextPeople quote ",a game development studio that specializes in writing, programming, and designing next-generation interactive fiction.".. .Then introduced new third party viewer policies....all of a sudden the grid is the worst it has been in 3 years. Me thinks there is a connection here... and guess we the ones who are IN SL are getting it.

Thanks for reply Rolig. From what I read ||LoopSound plays a sound attached indefinitely. And I have heard the sound many times. Once I log off and return the sound no longer can be heard. Each time i log on I must reset script to hear as long as i stay logged. The idea of scan is good but this adds a lag to sim since it will be constantly scanning. Hopefully can figure out something. Thanks again )
-
I have used ||LoopSound script many times before in prim to create sound I want in prim on my sim. Recently I notice that when I log off and return to sim the sound no longer plays and I have to reset script to get sound again. Has there been some change made to this code? Before was simple once script was set and 1 sound was added the sound played no issues. I have other prims that seem to do fine. Can anyone give me an idea why not working? Thanks)

Well welcome to SL : ) As some know issues arise out of nowhere and we are reminded of the SL of old. At least most can get Inworld. Now that we're here.... what next. As you can see..Teleporting has been an issue that has been with us for a long time.. since it was first conceived. Used to cost $L to TP direct. Here's the JIRA that shows this issue has been around.
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4986
I am always amazed that it works... Haven't been "Ruthd" in a long time.....

So what's new in the TOS now?

Not sure but may have to do with Linden Lab may authorize certain third parties to re-sell Linden Dollars .
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Dollar_Authorized_Reseller_Terms_and_Conditions
Know there was some changes made while back as to how $L is bought and sold. Maybe this defines more of how that is handled. Just a guess :matte-motes-big-grin:
