  1. Hey Everybody, I have a friend who has an odd situation. She has a homestead, no parcels, runs firestorm current version and her map shows green dots present (one or two) when in fact NO one is present. No av shows up on radar as present either. She's searched top to bottom and asked me as well but neither of us can account for the dots. Any ideas
  2. The thing to remember is that the very first audience of every content creator is themselves. People make what they like. Those who want to sell what they make, make what someone TELLS them (either in word or by buying trend) they like. You see bulging muscle boys with their pants half unzipped because a lot of the makers of those skins and clothes are gay men. They make what they want to see. Femboys are created by rl femboys or the admirers of femboys. By the same token, you see the slutty look for women created by those who find that attractive; they either want to date it or be it. Myself, I was similar to you. I had another character I wanted to create and having looked through the offerings in the market I was put off; lot of femmy looking skins and those that I suppose are meant to be straight males wearing eyeliner and/or lipstick. (The eyeliner thing really kind of ticks me off). And then, just as you found, everybody (if not a fantasy/writing paper white) was "tan". And tan in ways that defy reality. In the end, the only way to get EXACTLY what I wanted was to make it. Which really isn't so hard with all the tools and templates sold on the mp. You dont have to go pro. It can just be for you. But you will be satisfied.
  3. Actually, its HIS sl. And if he needs that to be a game then it is. There is no great and mystical book that says it is or isn't this or that for everybody. Just because there's a population that likes to get all high minded about what it is for them, that doesn't write it for the world. And if a body logs in to PLAY then it is a game.
  4. How can you enjoy a thing that causes your rl to downgrade? Just me. I would cut corners , but my corners would be the imaginary ones. Signed, the guy who dumped his premium account and subsequently even his "owned" land on a private estate.
  5. Where were you when my wife had twins , followed shortly by our son? All Tatu. (funnin you, you'll find customers just keep lookin)
  6. rofl- "they make my pants breathe". Making a note to use that in at least one sl conversation.
  7. I have been to rp sims that have straight out gambling (bets taken on fights and such) BUT the way it was gotten around was that the entire rp sim did not acknowledge/function by lindens. Instead they generate 100% valueless (it does not exchange for linden) rp currency thats earned, stolen, or transfered between players for ALL trade-including those bets- that occurs in the sim.
  8. You are awesome Amethyst. I had no idea about the weight distribution being a question. I guess i'll find out whether I've set the seats correctly :matte-motes-agape: I wasn't so ambitious as to attempt a motor or even sail boat this first time out (an air boat/swamp boat done as a steam powered one) but it could very well happen in the future so I certainly wouldn't turn down any info or input.
  9. I am trying to make my first vehicle, a simple boat, and want to know if the vehicle requires a script that specifically allows passengers or will a general boat script suffice as long as there are seats available for the passengers.? If it requires a passenger specific script, is there one anybody would like to recommend? As a secondary question, I keep running across references to physical vehicles. Would any prim(s) on a water vehicle need to be physical?
  10. If its just to open new purchases of clothing, you can always attach the bag or box and open it while attached. The file goes in your inventory just the same. Then just unattach the packaging.
  11. Wow, sorry you're having this problem. Sounds like you have someone in particular you are trying to avoid. (Can't imagine you mean just anybody cuz...well....that seems strange to me lol) Best advice, if you use firestorm (dunno about other viewer settings) turn off hearing sounds on your land from outside of it and viewing the avatars. Yeah they'll see the interior of the place but by what I understand they won't be able to spot you personally or your guests. If you block the individual wouldn't that block objects belonging to you from their veiw? I did used to have a security system that set verticle distance for how far it sensed, I can try to look for it /name of it if ya think that'll help any. Area searching items and agents makes it impossible to disappear off the map but ya do what ya can. Why not move your box?
  12. ..... I have recently acquired a home and decked it out to the nines! But find myself pacing around wishing I had people to share in the experience with...... I suspect that might be one of the disappointments of homeowners all over secondlife. If you need a guest for any dinner parties I'm available.
  13. Bingo. And yes, its easy to fall into a nest of 20 somethings and have all of them try to convince you that "you're old" but you do have to consider the source. Who here, when they were a kid or teen, didn't think anybody who was not their peer was old? At twenty they are only one year away from being a teen. The state of being an adult is like a bell curve, and I haven't seen one of those yet crest at its inception. Even at 30, (assuming a life span of 80 even though I'm one with an 88 year old in their rl) you're not even half way up the incline. It wouldn't crest till 50 as the highpoint, and to be "old" (on the side of the downswing) you would be as Drake said. Its great to be 20 or even 30 something physically (and in sl that might translate into avi appearance). But my best conversations come from those more mature and with a manner of processing you really only get with time.
  14. I'm guessing Zindra is a sex sim? I read that name someplace .....thought it was an rp game. "Color coordinate your avatar with your prims"......having given that line a little thought, and in light of the Zindra thing, I'm going to pass on speculating which prims. Always something to learn in the forums. Welcome back Ambrosia. Personally my suggestion is drop in and out of the forums, it'll keep you from being bored.
  15. Thanks! And thanks to Reicheru. I always wished that "break" wasn't there.
  16. Ah yes....offline mode...I remember it from another world. The problem with offline mode tho is it encourages people like me to never log in.
  17. I bet this is the quickest education you ever got. /me walks off thinking "poor b*stard"
  18. What I think is interesting is that two people -in this case the op and myself- can each say "gamer" but mean two very different things. One's experience (sounds like shooter/action gaming?) was one way and the other (roleplay) were basically opposite. For me, none of the mmogs I participated in "appreciated" first life chat or diverting from role. It was very "immersive" (the word they use now). In the one I played the longest, (years) yes, people regularly felt that their game self had a life of its own to an extent. Immersion was very deep. Peer social control to keep it that way very high. And so when emotions or whatever else ran high it ran high as [insert character name]. The typist felt fear/ anger/ lust/ whatever because its their mind thats engaged AND YET ration tells you its not "you"- you're not Baron von Klieff/the high paja/ whatever it is that the character is thats allotting the circumstance of the feeling. In sl people fall in love, have families, buy helicopters...... But when rl Christmas happened where you able to run up your rl stairs and kiss that sl child goodnight? When you wake up, is your marketplace helicopter on the lawn of your rl house? So then you neither are that parent you are in sl or megamilllionaire with the copter on the lawn. THAT (for me) is what we mean. Its just like those roleplays I described in paragraph two. The typist may very well feel x, or y, because its their mind engaged in interacting with your mind BUT its not occuring in the total realm of reality. The furry we also are in sl, we're not. The club host we're being, we're not a real life club host cuz this aint a real life club. Its a mentally engaging representation of a club on a computer screen. Its very easy to "slip" into believing the club is a club. You have crowd and appearance and noise and all of your friends are gathered there. But thats the same thing that happens with that "immersion" I talked about. (grins) An official sl rp may or may not impose immersion. But sl as a grid often, inadvertantly, does. People start buying into their own identity here. HERE they own the block (sim) but in rl they may be struggling to meet the teir payment. So where's the mogul? Its not real. None of this is real. Except your feelings. And thats whats real in roleplays.
  19. Shouldn't the shadow map be on top of the texure? Maybe with reduced opacity? Mind you, I've never worked with sl textures and their maps in p.s. but it just **sounds** like that would be the order?
  20. Maybe they got it wrong and meant v1's. There'll always be third party viewers I think. They get created by folks outside LL. And, unless I'm wrong have never been "advised" by LL. Just that they acknowledged some as more reputable than others. The v1's eventually will break/not function when LL advances some stuff in the grid. Who knows when that will be? Dunno.
  21. Perrie Juran wrote: ......equivelant of saying you can't look decent without overloading the system. And that is just plain bull dinkey. But is it? Hasn't the percentage of people complaining about lag increased? Or are just me and mine the only ones feeling a lag more than we have previously? And I'm not saying stripping people of their accessories is the route, I'm askin WHY sl doesn't seem able to handle very much?
  22. Is it possible to put two avatars on a posestand (ex.) embracing or otherwise interacting? Yes. I've seen at least one made that way. It was for photography. Seeing as how I didn't own it or build it, I can only speculate on how it was accomplished. I would suppose with either a poseball system (like furniture) or the noposeball-intimacy sort. Is it possible to run both male and female poses within a single posestand that poses only one avatar at a time? Yes. You would just have to cycle to what poses you wanted. I had a freebie one like that once. Wasn't fun seein some of those lady poses on my dude before he hit the male ones lol. As long as both the posestand and animations are owned by the same av, and (in the case of swapping from one stand to another stand) posestands one and two both have mod permissions, you should have no problem pulling your animations from stand 2 into your inventory and then dropping them into stand 1. Thats just hybriding your own property for your own use, not a problem. Remember, in this scenario the scripts and anims themselves do NOT need to be mod. Just the item you're droppin em in (or "borrowing" em out of). An example of the interactive type posestand is something like this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/EMU-PROMO-Posestand-Couple-Simple-30-Poses/3713361
