    Unable to login

    I had the same login issues since last night.  Still having issues right now.  To be truthful, I reset my PC yesterday due to a possible but minor problem.

    I have no issues posting on this website, otherwise this post wouldn't have happened.

    I know of someone who has been having the same kind of problem as of lately.  She was not only unable to walk when logged on, but after a few seconds it automatically logged her off.  What is going on?  Is it possible she has an outfit she is wearing that was causing problems?

    I think, with the latest wave of spambots invading SL, I think it's time for the folks at Linden Labs to consider implementing a one-time fee for any new avatar.  Already existing members would not be subject to such fees.  What do you think of this idea?

    Either way, I hope something is done about this spambot problem once and for all.  If it goes on forever, I am afraid of what may end up happening to SL someday.

    If spambots get banned, they will come back.  Repeatedly.  I hope there is something that can be done about this problem once and for all.

    Polygon Hair Problem

    in Mesh

    Posted

    I am learning how to create polygon hair for my Second Life avatar, but I am having trouble with a certain task.

    If you scroll to about 0:18 in this video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAsslleGjJY

    I would like to ask, how do I do that part with the cylinders?  I tried it, and it brought all the sides inward to resemble a cone when it should be like in that part of the video.  When I tried the task, I did have my cylinder straight and centered vertically.

    I did tilt the cylinder previously, but when I used the border select tool, it selected parts I don't want to use.  What should I do (keyboard shortcuts and/or what path would I have to take) in order to make the cylinder as is shown at about 0;18 in the video?

    Walk on Water Scripting?

    in LSL Scripting

    Posted

    I am trying to create a script that will allow me to walk on the surface of Linden water.  I got a couple of questions:

    1. The position that I stand, is that the X, Y or Z position?

    2. How would I have to start the script?  Like, say, if I were to wear the object on my feet and activate it right away, but if I were to set the standing position (X, Y or Z) to only allow my feet to not go below a certain position, what would I do?

    Blender: Creating Hair using Hair Lab Add-On?

    in Building and Texturing Forum

    Posted

    Well, maybe Hair Lab is not compatible with Second Life.  So much for that idea.

    But I did read about the idea of creating polygon hair, and I think that may seem more promising.  Or I could use bezier curves and make the strands bigger and modify and shape them.  And when finished segments of the hair, add a hair texture.

    Any non-video tutorials on how to create polygon hair or hair using bezier curves?  Video tutorials are hard for me to understand, as sometimes they are so fast, and I think tutorials in text format on a website would be more understandable for me.

    I intend to learn to create mesh items, and I do admit, it's hard at first (and I had just gotten started), but I think after several weeks, I should get the hang of it.  Plus I am in no rush to get the task completed.

    Looking for Sesame St police brutality RP

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    It does seem to make sense that not only having Sesame Street characters in SL violates the terms of conditions associated with Sesame Workshop, the intellectual property owners, but also a sim that copies Sesame Street.

    I remember there used to be a sim that replicated Bedrock, the fictional hometown of the Flintstones.  Needless to say, that's gone.

    I have seen avatars that are dressed like Cookie Monster, Elmo, etc. over the years I have been in Second Life.  Did they get banned from Second Life?

    And the word "retarded" should never be used to describe Sesame Street characters.  People use that word towards people or characters because they just hate them so much, they don't want to see them again.

    If you want to use the "R" word to describe characters, I think The Little Rascals may fit the description.

    I wonder if Sesame Workshop owns a sim in SL?

    Asset server again?

    Well, while it will suck that I may not be able to log in this evening, at least that will give me more opportunity for me to learn to create mesh clothing in Blender.  I have started to sculpt a mesh hair, and I seem to be on the right track so far..Blender is easier to use than I realized.

    Hopefully these inventory issues are fixed before I head to bed this evening.  The issues were identified at 11:05 AM PT, at it's virtually 1:00 PM PT as I post this.  Sounds like the problem is bigger than expected.

    Computer clock won't sync properly while on SL

    UPDATE: My RL roommate is having trouble with his SmartPhone as of lately.  I was talking to him on the phone today, and he was having problems with his SmartPhone just now.  I think it's most likely the case that a massive number of people are on the Internet this holiday season, since students are off from school and people are taking time off work, thus causing Internet traffic to rise dramatically.  It may not be the battery after all.

    And like I said before, the problem was not prevalent on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and maybe Thursday due to Internet users being at work.  The coming week or two, however, could be a different story.

    Who knows? These issues may have been occuring since November 26 (U.S. Thanksgiving Day), though in the early stages at that time.

    Apparently, I did speak to my RL roommate, and I did learn from him that he is having the same issues on his Samsung Phone and/or his own computer. He did suggest that it might have been due to a congested modem, so he suggested for me to turn off the power bar for 30 seconds to one minute, and then turn it back on.  After I turned my computer back on, there doesn't seem to be any choppy audio on Second Life - at least for now.

    I did, however, notice that the choppy audio on SL on my side, has been prevalent since my Internet status doesn't show any outside WiFi connections, just a LAN connection, nothing more.  Is there any way to regain WiFi signals from other surrounding areas?  I currently have limited access, through a LAN connection.

    EDIT: Choppy audio is returning now.  Sounds like I need both LAN and Wireless signals in order for SL to run smoothly.

    VirWox Problems

    in General Discussion Forum

    I apparently used PayPal to deposit funds into VirWox, but then I realized I had not activated my avatar name to VorWox as yet.  I did activate my account to VirWox, but the funds are not there.  I am not sure if there is a hold on funds being added to VirWox, if I have to wait so many business days, but my funds are not showing in my VirWox balance as of this moment.  Could somebody please explain this?

    Update Regarding Freezing on my Computer

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    I tried to log in to SL using Firestorm's latest update, but I was successfully loggd on for a few seconds, then my computer crashed.  The issue most likely is what I suspected - a graphics card issue.  It looks like I'm bringing my computer to the shop tomorow to be fixed - whether it means a new graphics card, or whatever.  I am suspecting my graphics card has had its day, and it's time to get a new one, most likely.
