Hello, This maybe a futile effort to ask but is there anyway to recover lost notecard text, maybe from a cache ? I was using Firestorm viewer to write a notecard for my role play group and after 30minutes of typing just before I was getting ready to save my computer crashed with the blue screen of death. When I got back into Second Life all that I had wrote was gone, is there any way to get back what I wrote. I know theres a chat log but is there something similar for notecards.

Thanks for reply Where would I get a script that can change the texture on one or more faces but not every face ?

When making a sci-fi computer with normal second life prims its a simple thing to add a script that changes the computer screens textures to give the image the apearance of movement. I'm wondering if the same can be done with a mesh built computer consol made in Blender 3-D. In the past I've just added a normal second life prim to the mesh build to make the screen move with the usual script to change or rotate the texture. Is it possible to have the texture change on one face of the mesh, the screen face ? Maybe a script that focuses on changing the texture of one face and not the others.

When I try to upload a mesh model to Second Life I sometimes get a message saying MAX HULLS EXCEDED, I wish to know what this means and what the maxium number actually is ?

Hi, I'm very new to using GIMP and would like to learn how to make textures with it. The kind of textures I'm wanting to learn are for my builds. I build Sci-Fi stuff, mostly interiors for space ships such as Corridors, Bridges, Engine Rooms, Transporter Rooms etc... I'm wanting to create my own textures so that I dont have to use other people's anymore and have something thats just all made by me. I would like surgestions for beginner tutorials for making these kind of textures, preferrably videos with voice. Thanks.

I make meshes in Blender so that I can Export them for Second Life as Collada files, however when I Export these files a 2nd file also apears in my saving folder called an SLM file, I'm wondering what it is, anyone know ?

Thank you for replying. I will keep in mind your advise because it will be usefull. What I ended up doing was separeting the mesh in Blender to become 3 meshes 1 for the left side, 1 for the right side, and 1 for the floor. Once uploaded to Second Life I then just linked the 3 meshes like linking 3 prims to make 1 object. Now I can walk down the centre of the Corridor, however I carnt get right up close to the walls on either side, but fortunately I made the Corridor quite wide so the moveable space is enough for my purposes. In future I will look into the physics of uploading a mesh build.

I uploaded to Second Life an untextured Mesh Corridor Section I made in Blender, unfortunately I carnt seem to walk down it, its like the ends are blocked even though I never sealed the ends during making the Mesh, anyone know what I did wrong. Here's a pic of the Mesh in Second Life.

Thank you again for your replies, i will bookmark both of those vids so i can learn how to deal with all the missing faces. Its just a pity the vid says that each face thats missing in second life must be selected in Blender in order to flip them, trouble is they show up just fine in Blender so it'll be quite difficult to find the faces outside of second life.

Yes from what i can see they are visible from the other side.

Thank You both for replying. When I rotate the camera around the build in Second Life parts do dissapear like only visible from one angle and not another. The build isnt textured yet, i just wanted to see if i could upload it first before figuring textures out.

This is what my Mesh build looks like in Blender :-- And this is what it looks like in Second Life :-- As you can see there are bits missing after upload to Second Life. What am I doing wrong, why are there bits lost during upload. Any advice would be great please.

Thank you for replying and surplying the link. I read through the page and i will follow up on it, i just carnt do so straight away because the page says they must put the avatar on hold until they get to the bottom of things, and my avatar is engaged in online activities at the moment. As soon as my activities are done i will, its just a pity since im one of those whose online all the time.

Today i woke up to find an Email from Linden telling me that a transaction to buy L$ from my account had failed, it was a no reply Email. Then i received a phone call from my bank telling me that certain L$ purchases failed. I believe that some one is was trying to purchase L$ using my account and failed luckily. The last time i purchased L$ was on the 11\05\2012 last month, but it seems that some one was trying to buy them last night using my details. I have now deleted my payment method and changed my password, and the bank has cancelled my credit card and is sending me a new one. Luckily who ever is was failed in thier atempt to steal from me. My question is how do i report this to Linden in the hopes the person whose guilty will be caught and delt with? Thanks in advance.
