I have noticed that many estate owners who rent land are asking to put skyboxes at 750m or above (up to 4000m). Is there a reason for that? I had a 65536m2 skybox above my land (750m) and I had a nasty shadow covering my entire sim below (at noon), and now I added 250m to the skybox (1000m elev. now) and that shadow was still there, but then a bit later it was gone, but I dont know if it can come back again. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Brunei/99/147/21 I thought that this 750m elevation treshold is to avoid skyboxes appearing on the map images as well as avoiding that shadow issue. Am I right? No?

I forgot to mention one thing -- I always get notifications about sim restart after x minutes. That long restart gives me 5 minutes (usually) and when I (or estate owner) restarts it, then I have 2 minutes to get my ass off the area. I rent the entire sim (15k prims) so the estate owner doesn't do restarts there anymore, at least not to my knowledge. It's all my land, sharing with no one else. And when I lost my changes, it also applied to terraforming. I had to do that again, too.

"Current simulator: Second Life RC Magnum 13.04.29.274986" This crap may end in the future, although there's no way of knowing when. I hope RC stands for Release Candidate just like with software, it's after Beta and before the stable (final) release, and that means they're possibly gonna drop that "RC" soon, and maybe find another RC toy to play with. It's purely my speculation.

yeah, Magnum it is. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Brunei/70/72/21 So there's nothing I can do about it...

I often see my sim restarted by someone (no idea who) and then it's usually inaccessible for 15-30 minutes, but it's not red on the map, AND I always see one person in there. o.OBut I see no one there if I restart it by myself, and then it usually takes 2-5 minutes to get back online. Oh, and I usually lose things I built (and building progress) about 30-60 minutes prior to that strange restart I mentioned at first. And then I have to re-build that stuff again using my own memory. I also saw this topic (archive) http://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussions/Region-restart-risk/td-p/398267

omg... Thank you so much! This one does the trick, and even more than I expected!

I divided my land and my friend wants to live in the smaller parcel, but I don't know how to sell or rent her that part of my land without losing it. And I also need to collect rental fee. Is it possible without using those rental management scripts and products? I read about selling and renting lands, but I also saw something about a possibility that I could lose my land "by accident" if I do something wrong.

How could I achieve that? I have no clue how to write scripts myself. I'm a visual designer and builder, scripts are my weak side.

So if I understand this correctly, there's no way for me to activate and deactivate all my lamps with one or two clicks?

Thank you! And, I may have found out what's been wrong. I probably misunderstood some things. The last script shows the angle of the Sun, and it seems to be fixed on SL time/sun. I tried to force day/night, but it has no effect whatsoever. I chose different presets, played with the sun angle slider, but it has no effect... So I'll always have to *wait* for day or night in order to see any changes? -.- I wanted it to turn on/off even when I manually switch to day or night.

Does this mean that I can't use any of those scripts? My region does have a day/night cycle, not a fixed time.

I need a script that turns light on (with fullbright and glow) when the sun goes down, and turns them off when the sun comes up again. I found 3 scripts, and none of them work whatsoever. :( I'm using Firestorm, but I doubt that it's the case here. Sun direction seems always the same, I can't do anything about it, I really need this to work... None of the following worked for me. The first one shows some direction numbers, they never change! http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlGetSunDirection http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Library/Automatic-Light-Glow/td-p/1323573 http://inworldz.com/izwiki/index.php/Automatic_Day_Night_Light I tried other scripts, this one always says "The Sun is coming!" no matter if it's daytime or midnight! Something is wrong. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlGetWallclock

Why don't they work? I also tried this, and nothing changes, the prim remains unlit and without glow no matter how much I play with the day/night slider. http://inworldz.com/izwiki/index.php/Automatic_Day_Night_Light

I ended up buying a half sim, I found a place with reasonable neighbours (no amateurish junk e.g. sky high walls and prims or mountains, amateurish looking monster buildings, etc.)

Hi, I was just checking the same spot at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lionheart%20Mufasa/233/162/27 recently and almost bought it, but then I thought its land area is still too small. Prim count is okay, I just need about twice as much land area. Then I checked the rest of Lionheart's commercial lands for sale, and the rest were even smaller. I saw some great lands in Commercial II area, but they were already taken as usual. I didn't think it's gonna be so hard to find a land.

Hi, I have spent several days looking for a suitable land for my new mainstore. I'm relatively new so I don't know everything and everybody. Can anyone help me out, please? What I need: Area larger than 2500m21000 or more primsclean and commercial neighborhood (no private houses/homes right next to it)rather good traffic, not a ghost townnear the streets or on the beach (not in between of other lands and buildings)on the ground not in the sky (adding a skybox should be allowed)no amateurish looking shops nearbyterraforming allowedreasonable prices (no more than ~3000-4000 a week)It may sound demanding, but I put very high expectations on myself and my work. If or when you see it, you would understand it. :) If something like that exists and it costs more, then I may still be interested. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ok, this time I saw a white cube (the code provided above). Then I tried with "medium" and I saw only a white triangle. Not a pyramid, just a flat triangle. And "upload" button is greyed out. (another broken page is responsible for that. I'm on the beta grid). And in 3ds Max. Maybe I have wrong/invalid materials on it?

I just need an example file. I'm using 3ds Max 2012 and I exported a mesh (.dae) I had made last year for IMVU, and when I uploaded it the preview windows showed me some crap - only a few polygons in highest detail mode. So I think I want to see a working mesh to see what's wrong with my meshes.

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh/Sample_Content None of the files can be downloaded. And when I try with right-click I just get a corrupt zip file. :(

I agree, it's in their best interests to keep that system broken so people would have to waste their L$ for trial&error.

I can't log in either, I always get that password error, caps, blabla.

Thank y'all, I got this part right. Now I have another problem -- how can I replace textures on a packaged product that has already been sent to the Marketplace and bought by some people? One product has a texture glitch which needs to be fixed.

So I'll just have to wait. After a failed transfer I see that item on my listings page immediately (above, unlisted), but I always deleted it and re-sent, I din't know if it was a proper item or just the name (faulty item).

I could use some advice or help here. I'm having some problems with it every day, but now I couldn't send a product to the Marketplace anymore. When I clicked "Send to Marketplace" it did something for a few seconds, then nothing happened, my folder was still there. I clicked like 20 times... I restarted Firestorm, tried it again, then it kept saying "Success!", but the folder was still there, and nothing was sent! I cleaned the outbox, added the product again, then it said "Transfer failed!" and I did see a product that was sent, but since it "failed" I deleted it, didn't create a listing. I tried everything I could think of. Then it suddenly worked after 2 hours of trying. This is not fun at all. It has never f***d with me for that long. What could be wrong? Is there any fix for that? Thanks in advance!

I was sitting next to that person (yesterday I was standing near the other person), and I was asking something (very nicely of course), and they started "typing", but nothing came through, happened both times, they are not the same person. Nothing was sent to my email either. I do receive messages when I am offline, though.
