Please keep an eye on the Second Life grid status blog. We are aware of discrepancies in search results for Marketplace listings and are working on resolving the issue. Thank you!

Today we launched Direct Delivery, making it easier for Merchants to list items for sale on the Marketplace, as well as significantly improving the customer’s shopping experience. To begin using Direct Delivery for Marketplace items, Merchants will need to transition their listings, which can be done individually or in batches of up to 100 at time. To assist with this process, we have prepared a number of resources, including Knowledge Base articles (translated into the four Marketplace languages) and video tutorials: Marketplace Direct Delivery Migration Guide (KB Article) Selling in the Marketplace (KB Article) (YouTube Video) ‪ (YouTube Video) Customers do not need to do anything to transition to Direct Delivery — they just need to know that their purchases are now in the new Received Items folder within their Inventory. To help everyone become better acquainted with Direct Delivery purchases, we’re offering a FREE limited-edition Linden Bear. [update (March 31, 2012]: While we work to address current Marketplace issues, we will not require any Merchants to migrate listings away from Magic Boxes to Direct Delivery before June 1, 2012. [update May 17, 2012]: We will not require any Merchants to migrate listings to Direct Delivery before August 1, 2012. We will be giving at least a 4 week notice before any deadlines are enforced. [update July 26, 2012]: We will not require any Merchants to migrate listings to Direct Delivery before October 1, 2012. We will be giving at least a 4 week notice before any deadlines are enforced. [uPDATE: September 20, 2012] The transition from Magic Boxes to Direct Delivery has been extended indefinitely. We will be providing a 30-day warning before any shutdown actions are taken and will avoid doing this before peak holidays for the Marketplace (Halloween, Christmas/New Year's, Valentine's Day). We are aware that some Merchants are still having problems with the Merchant Outbox. We are are working with TPVs and our internal development teams to address this issue.

mGPiywc6Hh0 Teleport Agent The first tool we added was Teleport Agent, a new LSL call that allows scripts to teleport agents to a particular SLURL or local position. A clear application of this call is to replace the “teleport” workarounds that many of you have had to implement over the years for your directories and “teleport pads.” In Linden Realms, we also used this call to handle “death” for our rock monsters, poison lakes, rock falls, and other hazards. Temporary Attachment One of the difficulties we faced when making our HUD was that llAttach creates a copy of an object in your inventory once it’s attached. This led to the creation of a number of copies of a HUD that cluttered your inventory, and thus the need for Temporary Attachment. This call works just like llAttach, but does not create the inventory for the user. This will allow you to create temporary objects like demo attachments or “region specific” gear, without creating unnecessary inventory. It’s important to note that Temporary Attachment is NOT forced attachment. We accomplish forced attachment through our Experience Permissions system. Experience Permissions The Experience Permissions system is an expanded and simplified version of our current permissions system. Once a user grants permission to an experience, any object associated with that experience has the permission to control that user. More importantly, these permissions span multiple regions, scripts, and objects. This will allow you to create cross-Second Life experiences with one simple request. We have produced a number of other tools and prototypes to support more rich content creation that we look forward to releasing. In parallel to the rollout of these tools, we will be launching a Professional Creators Program. This program will provide members with helpful resources, such as tutorials and exclusive closed betas. More information will become available in the next few months.
