Realistically any new game (and many old games) will need a more modern graphics card. Times change and you can't run games on your toaster forever. lolz No really though this game is a terrible memory hog and always has been tbh that'swhat's really going on here. :edied for spelling:

Every time people come over here and ask to find friends, great! Now here is my issue: Every now and then, i actually start a conversation with some one who is seeking some companionship and usually the chat goes for 2-3 hours and endup being offerd friendship I initiate an IM some times to gauge and the chat goes off for awhile again, yay, not ignored yet. Days pass while seeing them login and logout. Days turn into weeks, ah, here we go again, *delete* From the 2 dozen people that friended me after a chat, i trashed all of them because NON was actually looking for a friend! Oh, brilliant idea! don`t look for friends and ask people to become your friend if you DO NOT intent to actually start a conversation at times so that they actually still might consider YOU to be a FRIEND! Do i need friends? uhm, lack of social skills stuck with a female avatar, yeah, but i will not friend you to entertain you! Not initiating any conversations over 2-3-4 weeks? then sod off,more happy being alone then being used when your feeling sorry for your self and im random people on YOUR friends list for entertainment. I doubt i`m the only one who feels this way, but ffs, i think it every time i read this section of the forums and get suckerd into it *again* What`s the difference between SL friends and a sex toy? none, you have to entertain your self Now this is for the OP: Hell no, you state you have a full list and never start a conversation, why would anyone in their relatively sane mind bother? Did you ever think that some of those people are shy? I personally will firend people and not message them at least the first 2 or 3 times we talk hoping they'll message me instead because I'm to shy and always feel like I might be a bother. Also having a long list of friends doesn't me that they all actually login anymore. I've friended many MANY noobs trying to help them out only to have them NEVER log in again. I'm just to lazy to remove them from my list making my list very long.

I don't think that there is a whole viewer out which can steal all informations, because we would hear about more victims then. But everybody can just guess about what happend in your case. Actually there are viewers with built in measures (AKA sending info toa database) that steal information. Usually thought hese viewers are made for copybotting and other illegal activities and are usually made by people who are griefers.

you can change the hair texutre to a non alpha'd texture. That would solve the issue. You'd need the UVs (if mesh) for it though. I don't think sl can fix it as I think it's an issue with alpha sorting on modern day graphics cards but I could be wrong about this.

Really IMO the quality is the same on the png plus it saves the hassle of making sure the edges are the same color so you don't get a white halo effect around your edges that you can get on the tga if your alpha layer isn't PERFECT.

If you need help learning to play second life open the search option and search for Caledon University. They have an AWESOME tutorial section to walk through that teaches you the basics of sl. If you need further help feel free to contact me in world I can try to help you out or take you to caledon.

You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello". I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello". (Hello, goodbye, hello, goodbye. Hello, goodbye.) I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello".

A good way to make friends is to join groups go to clubs and hang out in popular areas. On a side note if you like tabletop games or gaming in general have you tried seeing if your university has a gaming club? Mine did and we'd gather once a week to play tabletop games. Everyone there was socially akward nerds so talking to each other wasn't quite as bad. Maybe you should give that a shot.

I think the issue truthfully lies somewhere inbetween. The slow frame rates can be caused by either the outdated graphics engine (for instance the fact that water lags me even though in anyother game my computer thinks nothing of this.) and the fact things aren't optimised (the fact a area with huge textures and laggy scripts will lag me when there is no water around) and botht hose things work against sl. Until one or the other is fixed sl will probably never be able to be looking quite as good as those games and run at a reasonable rate on the avarage computer.

You say "Yes", I say "No". You say "Stop" and I say "Go, go, go". Oh no.

well the machenics haven't changed but yes the skill level has changed for sure. I mean though everything get's gbetter over time.

You could make one as well. T-shirts are fairly simple to make if your just lookingfor something simple and templates are readily avaiable for making them for free as well. Here's on template http://cc-sl.blogspot.com/2010/05/exclusive-freebie-psd-clothing-template.html all you need is to download it and edit it in either gimp or photoshop.

If those people actually READ the terms of service they would find that a simple pic can not cricumvent that as terms of service says nothing about that. On top of that by using this program you are agreeing to those terms of service and no magic pic is going to make that change. It's a legal binding contract you sign basically agreeing to follow SL TOS. Those pics are a bit like the random legalize that show up on facebooks every so often. They spread like wildfire but are essentially meaningless.

Mesh does not have "maps" like sculpties do. You can't export the image and reimport to make a model. You'd need a .dae file to import the model as your own. I think your confusing the uv maps for sculpt maps. ( unless you bought a sculpt kit in which case that is NOt mesh). Uv maps are similar to the uv maps for the defualt avatar in that you can create a picture ont hem and they wrap that picture around the model itself. It hink some kits come with shadow maps and perhaps some others. I ususally find the shadow maps most helpful as they show you where the shadowing would normally show up in a light situation which really helps with creating a believeable texture.

what's so funny? I mean who doesn't want to join a group in order to pay for random land in a random group you know nothing about!?

what kind of boards? if your talking about a prim with pictures on it you could probably do something like taht y ourself. just a copy of gimp and the price of an upload. would save you some lindens to.

I found most of my friends from hanging out at popular sims or clubs. Antoher good way is to join groups like people said or if your into something like bloodlines then join a clan.

all you have to do is get either photoshop or gimp (gimp being free) and edit the (hopefully included) texture so the area you want solid is white and the area you want clear is invisible then save a png or tga and import.

I know you are a fashion victim and being beautiful means to you to wear what fashion blogs and wannabe fashionistas show you. But thats not what definies an updated avatar and in NO WAY does changing the look frequently anything better. Does someone look outdated because he isn't a trained doggy running around refusing to create a unique look for the sake of being "up-to-date"? Like having huge mesh boobies (which is a trend at the moment). If someone refuses to look like a barbie doll after some plastic surgery...is she outdated then? Was someone outdated in the past, because the avatar wasn't 3 meters tall, blond and had a skin like she was laying outside for a whole summer? Adapting new, usefull things thats what keeps an avatar updated. Like using wellmade hair from todays creators and a skin that looks realstic and has details and using new materials to solve problems from the past (like mesh for skirts). But changing completely every day makes someone a doll. Also fashion and progress aren't moving forward that fast as you suggested it here. No reason to be soooo defensive here. While the original poster isn't correct does that mean you need to bash everyone who changes there look daily? Or everyone who wears mesh boobs? no. Not everyone doing those things is "doll" some of us are doing them because we like the look. I personally wear prim boobs and change my outfit daily (I used to change my skin to match my outfit though I didn't buy a new skin everyday) I do so because I like to create new looks everyday. That's part of who I am. It doesn't make me a "doll". And what's wrong with dolls anyway? got an issue with the dollification community there?

If you like the older style of viewer or have an old machine go with singularity viewer. It has rlv and should work just fine for sl plus it's still being updated so you will be able to still use it when the switch to ssb is made.

like this? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Resale-Textures-2-Pairs-Colored-Wet-Jeans/4359393 not sure what your looking for exactly.

shape will be fine. I've used the samme chape since I joined (made it myself only recently change to a new one) and that was 3 years ago... no one says I look like a noob 'cause I update my skin.

You could try a Test female You'll need to go into your prefrences and enable the developer menu. Then under developr menu go Avatar>character test> test female (or test male) This will set you back to the defualt ruth character then you can change to what you like fromt here. If that doesn't work you may have corrupt data in your cache. Try clearing your chache manually this video can show you how to do so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsK9EEihwEA . Hopefully one of these thigns help. And welcome to sl it can be like that sometimes.

That's exactly what I was thinking. also a "cheaply made" alpha would still work it just wouldn't look as great.
