    Basic question - but how can I quickly turn my Avatar 180 degrees?

    llSetAnimationOverride()

    • When this function is used to override the Walking animation, the avatar can no longer walk backward - attempting to do so causes the avatar to turn around. Presumably this is because there's no way to specify a "walking backwards" animation, so actually moving backwards while your legs are moving forward would look wrong.

    At first I thought it was a bug not a feature, but it's quite handy if you need that.

    Wouldn't it be more enlightened to consider the unintended consequences created by "supernatural fences" that block nature's creatures from crossing over their own land?

    What does a kirin care about property lines? What does an owl think of your fence? How do the fish feel about it? How about the dragonflies? Yeah, being respectful would be just swell- wouldn't it? Then we would have no more avians flying into your invisible glass wall traps, no more critters on the ground looking for some way through (they could have sworn it used to work fine!). Nobody now telling the birds what is the "proper altitude" for their flights, purpose unknown. Yeah, that sounds like it'd be better, doesn't it? Natural spirits were here first, after all.

    If you want seclusion and privacy and absolute control? Well, are you really sure that VR that is the actually the right place in which for you to be active? What happens if the critters all stand up and say "no, enough is enough. You can't keep being allowed to get this wrong, you're literally spoiling everything!"

    Banlines and similar prerogatives shouldn't be permitted to apply to or restrict nature's movement and activities and purposes. If you're that kind of critter and you are moving through this world, then obviously you already answer to some higher authority- no material world implementation of their will is required because the enforcement is divine. No amount of sophisticated rules could ever realistically expect to prevent high mischief nor make up for absent love should it suddenly go missing from the picture, as has been known to happen.

    Perhaps it is time for us all to stop kowtowing to the personal wants of private individuals who prefer material wealth to life, love, and light, and who poison the entire experience for all the meek people who are earnestly just pursuing their dreams. Does anyone really believe that the plan was "to create VR" simply in order to virtualize and promote the endlessly ugly urban sprawl and blight and waste of mankind's most poorly-realized civilizations, the same ones that now appear to be destroying the entire experience for themselves and everyone else with their ill-conceived plans for reality? If so, with all due respect, we beg to differ.

    Lmao you just want to justify your stealing content. Your focusing on the word Piracy. Stealing is stealing. Get a life. A thief is thief, how is downloading a song from youtube justified?

    For example, with fair use (as above).

     ... if you emailed YouTube ask asked them if downloading songs in mp3 format using 3rd party software is LGEAL they would light you on FIRE ! it is NOT legal.

    No, as above. Copyright holders would need monopoly to restrict such prerogative.

    In Anglo-Saxon law, an exclusive right, or exclusivity, is a de facto, non-tangible prerogative existing in law (that is, the power or, in a wider sense, right) to perform an action or acquire a benefit and to permit or deny others the right to perform the same action or to acquire the same benefit. A "prerogative" is in effect an exclusive right. The term is restricted for use for official state or sovereign (i.e., constitutional) powers. Exclusive rights are a form of monopoly.

    sold music without license to make it public is theft.
    ALL consumers music is for home and home living family only. Visiting persons at your home while you have music on is OK, but specially visiting people fór hearing your music goes over the limit of home use.

    It seems as though you are speaking too broadly for what you are saying to be a universally valid statement. For example, I can sell my LP albums on public or private market. There exist used music stores all over the place, and that is simply not theft or copyright infringement, nor is it piracy. Media is published with no reasonable expectation of how or where it will be consumed.
