Firestorm's limit on the texture buffer is variable and depends on your card's total video memory.

I have got more than 1 GB in hardware

I’m going to guess, you shined your “headlights” out the window?

Maybe you have an old version and the firestorm team has rolled back ?

Ir Maybe tou have compiled by yourself the viewer in forcing the max value

My version is Firestorm 6.2.4 (57588) Jul 12 2019 00:15:15 (64bit) (Firestorm-releasex64) with Havok support .

It s the last version

I didn't watch the Linus video, but 20 FPS for the new Tomb Raiders is unacceptable. Also, 8K and even 4K are overkill for most games. When it's fast-paced, higher FPS is always better than more pixels.

Is that really the texture memory limit in the current, official SL viewer? I know that in Firestorm the limit is 2 Gb.

And, would a higher limit really help for SL? In 8K everything's just bigger in size, not bigger in number of textures.

You are misinformed . Firestorm has a limit to 1 Gb . and it blurs some images

Thank you so much for your time and your explanations!
I could never have come up with these ideas.
These are great improvements and will help me a lot in the future.
Again, thank you very much, I really appreciate this!
edit: Through trial and error I noticed that we probably need
llListenRemove( idListen);
or llResetScript() at the end, because otherwise the listener will remain open indefinitely after the end of the timer.
This means you could still answer the question although the timer has run already out.
Is that right?

Indeed you will need to delete it . .if you want that the player has ony an allocated time for all his answers .

We were not sure about what you were expecting .

Indeed the player could be confused that while he continues his answers he is stopped brutally after some time and he is forced to click again , even when he golds the hand on the game . He ill think about lag or bug when in fact it s the design of your script

If you want nevertheless to force the player to click again after his 20 seconds allocated for his answers , i suggest you to warn him when tje timer expires and inviting him to click again . Either you can do by a message , either you can do visually ( change of colors , sounds playes , particles effect )

Your first version could have as much active listeners than the number of times someone has touched the prim . ( so it xan grows )

The version i have fiven you keeps only one listener max active , but of course , you can have zero listener when ther is nearby

An another solution , is to create a llsensorrepeat who scans if the player has not left . On no_sensor event you remove the sensorrepeat and you remove too the listener and you enable the CLICK_ACTION_TOUCH and something informs the palyer he has left the playground and needs to touch again .

Resetting the script won t be my preferred solution in your cas : the versions we post here are drafts , but your final version does certainly a lot of things at the start of the game we have not written yet in this forum , but who should be written in your final version . . For instance reading a notecard or a website to fetch the questions and answers to ask to players . With a reset script you will need to read again theses notecards or to fetch questions/answers on external urls . It takes too much time , so , i will avoid llresetscript in your case . There are other ways to remove listeners ( changing state , call a removelisterner ..) and who don t erase the initialisations of your script

        timer()
        {
            llSay(0,"You have not given the good answer before the time . The good answer was ....
Click again ");
            llSetClickAction( CLICK_ACTION_TOUCH );
            llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
            llListenRomeve(idListen);
        }

BTW, the value 8 for llSetClickAction() may be undocumented, but it was implemented by LL this year so it is not a hack. The wiki page just needs updating.

Second life uses again some float 32 bits .

24 bits from these 32 bits are used for the significand precision

Around 4000 meters , 12 bits are used for the integer part , 12 for the fractionnal part, so you can t expect a precision better than 1/4096 meters , around 4 millimeters gor any regional measures

In addition the innacuracies can be amplified by the rotations along one regional axis

The only solution is IF and WHEN second life will use 64 bits for coordinates

For the "good height" to build , the answer is , more you are close to the point 0,0,0 , more accurate will be your builds . It s not only the height :The influence in in the X axis and the Y axis can be strog too if they are closed to 255

If you can t , avoid at the maximum to use world frame in the build window tool , and build uniquely in local frame

Hi again!
Thank you very much for your support.
I chose Rolig Loon's method and it works fine.

KT Kingsley's idea worked fine, too (I actually had used that idea at first,
but forgot to define integer "user" as a global variable, preventing it from being used in the second state).

I also liked Lucia Nightfire's idea quite a bit but I couldn't find out how to actually switch off the touch_start trigger using this.
I don't actually need it at this point, but I like the idea, so, in case you could explain it to me, I would be grateful.

Anyway, here is the adjusted script using Rolig Loon's ideas:

......

Thanks again!

There are several little other things missing :

Firstly : you are creating a listener at every touch but without delete the others . So after a quizz of 100 questions , your script has 100 active listeners , with 99 who are useless . It s a waste of resources of the region

Secondly : you are generating a listener for any touch , even when the user is too far to be able to answer . By chat , the user is limited to 20 meters , 96 meters if he s shouting , so it s useless to generate a listener and waiting some seconds for nothing . People can touch prims at more distance than they can talk to the prims , in using the zoom camera . People can speak to the prims higher than 96 meters only if they talk via one attachement scripted

Thirdly : when your player is answering correctly ( and not wrongly ) , your script is not desactivating the timer and is not restablishing the possibility to touch before 20 seconds . So people , after a good answer can t play .. and are obliged too wait the end of timer. Nearly a bug

Fourthly , maybe it s not necessary for the prim to talk in the public chat to anyone , but only to the active player . I am not sure about what you want exactly , but you may condider it and using llregionsayto .

Sixthly In addition you don t solve the issue when the user goes out from the chat ange distance when the prim talks in local chat . The player won t see the message from the pri . Again one time llregionsayto ispreffered , but as i am not sure about why you want ( maybe the quizz is to use with seveal people ) , i have not changed this point

integer idListen;
float TIME_ANSWER = 20.0;
default
{
    on_rez(integer start)
    {
        llSetClickAction( CLICK_ACTION_TOUCH );
    }
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetClickAction( CLICK_ACTION_TOUCH );
    }    
    touch_end(integer total_num)
    {
        // as the prim talks only to 20 meters , we limit the touchers to people inside 20 meters
        if ( llVecMag( llDetectedPos(0)-llGetPos() ) <= 20.0 )
        {
            llSay(0,"question");
            // remove old listeners to not waste resources of the sim 
            llListenRemove( idListen);
            idListen = llListen(0, llDetectedName(0),  llDetectedKey(0),"");
            // desactivate the touch event s: 8 is undocumentated value , but seems working , thanks to Lucia ; an alternative is using several states to cchange the event manager of the script
            llSetClickAction( 8 );
            llSetTimerEvent( TIME_ANSWER );     
        }
    }
        listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
        {
            if(message == "good answer")
            {
                llSay(0,"deal the answer and congratz");
                // allows to go to the next question , so the touch event is freed . change of timer and llsetclickaction
                llSetClickAction( CLICK_ACTION_TOUCH );
                llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
            }
            else
            {
                llSay(0,"bad answer : try again");
                // wait again an another answer : so the touch event is again blocked: we want again an another answer from the same player : no change of the timer and llsetclickaction
            }
        }   
        timer()
        {
            llSay(0,"You have not given the good answer before the time . The good answer was ....");
            llSetClickAction( CLICK_ACTION_TOUCH );
            llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
        }

No .. The tranfer is only from the owner of the object to someone .

You will tell : "yes but before i have given my object , i was the previous owner" . Indeed , but you will need to tranfer linden dollars to the target BEFORE having given your object , and not AFTER having given your object

But an another object , ( again owned by you ) can give money when it will receive a message from the given object :

Messages can be grid wide ( if you use HTTP , or email or xmlrpc ) and tranfer lindens too

Florida allows people to gamble in Florida. What they don't allow is for people in Florida to gamble on the internet. That's why LL can't allow people who appear to be in Florida (based on IP address location) to go to gaming regions in SL. I live in a state that has both casinos and horse racing, but internet gambling is illegal and therefore I can't go to gaming regions. In my case, I have no interest in it so I don't care.

Firstly i notice you have changed your assumption :

from "floridia is againts gambling" , you tell now "floridia allows people to gamble in florida" .

Secondly , now , you tell that "floridia forbids to gamble on the internet" . It s always wrong .

Several sites are allowed for floridians :

for instance :

betamerica

https://playinglegal.com/review/betamerica

I quote

"

BetAmerica is in full compliance with all applicable United States and Federal laws.

Wagering is restricted in certain states. Account holders shall not make wagers from their account while physically located in one of the following states: Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Montana, North Dakota, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington."

Where is Floridia in the restrictive list ? Nowhere

Check by yourself

In addition , King.com , royalgames.com ( King Digital Entertainment ) is a well known platform game where you can spend and earn not only candies but you can spend and earn real cashes . No users in all united states have been forbidden . It s well known platform in facebook , google play , mobiles etc ..

What are becomen these kind of games in SL ?

You can't gamble in SL because Florida has a law against online gambling. They want you to spend your money in their own state.

You do a mess :

Horse race gambling is forbidden in Florida ( amendement 13 november 2018 ), but casinos gamblings are not :

see by yourself 10 instances of casinos ( not exhaustive ) where you can gamble in floridia

https://southfloridareporter.com/10-casinos-you-can-gamble-at-in-south-florida/

In adddition : there are some native americans groups in floridia Native American reservations do not fall under state jurisdiction, and are sovereign and subordinate only to the federal government. ( Seminole tribe and Miccosukee tribe

Check by yourself : https://www.500nations.com/Florida_Casinos_Tribes.asp

But the customers of these casinos are not mainly native americans

So , i don t understand the Linden policy who is harder for floridians ( and native americans foridians ) than in Florida

What's your point? Linden Lab still has to follow both sets of laws, that's just how multi-tier legal systems work.

What you describe is an uni-tier legal system work . Not a multi-tier

You forget there exist more that one law or one right : there is the field of application of the law for the provider , but there is too the field of application of law for the consumers , and in addition , as it s not LL who creates the games sim , there are too the field of application of law for the owners of sims

I am even sure that the laws about gambling ( in other enterprises , real entreprises and other , outside SL ) have tried to define how it should work when there are different field of applications .

The short answer : "it s written in californian law" is not pertinant and even , could be wrong in some specific situations

Oh dear, someone does not seem to understand how a forum works so I suppose I'll make it rather clear for you: My response is my own and has rather little to do with what anyone else prior has or has not said. You have now made assumptions based on your own - faulty - interpretation of what has been said thus far and of events/post order.

If you are genuine in your responses you will cease conflating people's responses or ascribing some motive/impetus that simply does not exist to the responses you get.

Again, have a pleasent existence. Your continued response is not required nor is it needed/desired.

No , no . Your answer was linked with what it was previously said ..

In addition , it surprises me that this crowdfunding is not for "non profit associations " but for entrepreneurs ( indiegogo is for "independant entrepreneurs" if you didn t know it , as tne name tell it "indy " inside indiegogo ) , so for commercial activities

Rhetorical question: No, you do not. You are making a guess based on your personal assumptions concerning the income of people with similar jobs/titles.

You are barking up the wrong tree and are indeed coming off as trollish. If such is not your intent, prove it by altering your approach.

I am sorry , but it s not me who has wroten his curriculum vitae .

His cirriculum vitae is clear , and we don t write this kind of curiculum vitae when we are are unemployement

Your assumption that he lives like a SL DJ is based on NOTHING . You can t even prove he has connected himself to SL

Again a time : stop to troll and accuse others to be troll

Do you know how much costs some material musical used in real performances ? Have you an idea , only ? And an "organisation" able to give some real preformances to real people requests 6000 dollars to SL users? Don you think there is something wrong , there ?

He is "only a composer" . And so ? Marilyn Manson too . I want the incomes from Marilun Manson :D :D In addition , i read in your link "productor' . He owns minimum three labels

As he has worked as musical manager for an international TV ( it s in your link !!! so don t accuse me to be calumnious)

Beyond "having links with students" I was project leader of an European funded project and head of creativity and innovation at an international university for ten years, the aforementioned university funded by twelve international universities. Having experience in a determined field is not what I would call arrogance. I wouldn't be cured by a mailman rather than a doctor, as I wouldn't ask a doctor to bring me mail. Experience is a good thing, and nothing to be outraged by. The person you mispelled the name of, used to have and also has at the moment, a rl job in order to pay his bills, since HL is no profit.

I am pretty sure , that Laurent Mialon who has worked as manager for musics for a TV earns more than 99% of people here . Isn t it ?

As he has chosen to stop to pay his own project , why to continue this project ?
