Thanks Optimo, I see now I can change the Width x Height in my camera, so I set that to 1024x512, and saved that, and uploaded it... And... it worked! Now it defaults to open with 2:1. Yayzor! So now I have to go back to the sim i was in and take the picture again. lol Thanks everyone for all the help! All the best, ~Bleue

Thanks Dot! That is cool, thank you for doing that. But yeah, that I think just changes the view for you at that moment. I want to default when someone opens the texture in SL to be 2:1. Is there a way to save the texture in SL such that it opens automatically at 2:1 (or 16:9)?

Hi Sandi, Yes, that is true. When I double click the textures I upload, as you say in the lower right corner in FS it says 'Preview aspect ratio', and for mine it says 1:1. But for other textures people have given me it says 2:1. Which is far better than 1:1 for 16:9 stuff. And there's an "OK" button on there, but it doesn't seem to save it; the next time i double click it is back to 1:1. And there's a "save" which just saves it to your computer. i did that, and then paid the $10LL again to upload it, and that didn't work either lol. Thanks for the reply! Hopefully there's some setting I'm missing somewhere...

Hiyas efryone, sorry if this is super obvious or covered in some faq somewhere, but I can't figure it out. When I double click the pic in SL I want it to open in the aspect ratio it does on my computer, but it opens as 1x1. This is what I'm doing: Take a picture in SL. I see in my SL camera it says 1024x768. The format is PNG. It saves to disc - my computer. When I open the picture on my PC it is widescreen, for example the pixel dimensions are 1908x1008. Then I pay the $10LL to upload it to SL. Then I double-click on it in SL. It shows 'Preview aspect ratio' 1:1, and it shows 1024x1024. =( I don't see any options when I upload it to keep the original image aspect ratio? I know when i put the texture on an object how to resize it at that time, for example i would edit the object to make it, in this case, 1908x1008, and then put the texture on, and everything is fine. But for just double clicking and opening in SL... i have some actual SL pictures that other people have given me that do open in 2:1, so it must be possible. Like for profile pix, you don't want someone to have to resize them, they won't bother. Thank you for any help you can please provide. ~Bleue p.s. have a gr8 sl-day! <3

Thanks Ipecac! I couldn't see it to click on it, but after many more attempts I finally did see it. I'm not sure if it rezzed in the open or what; it respawned each time the quest was failed. I got through it all now, the 5th quest is entriely craycray, i wouldn't recommend it unless you like being frustrated. Thanks for the help! ~Bleue =^_^=

Also, I couldn't find a game forum, so sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Admins can move it if needed - thanks!

Hi efryone! Anyone doing the Horizons game? I am stuck on Quest 3, The Swamp. You are supposed to find a tablet with a secret code on it, and then enter it in the console to complete the quest. I can find the tablet, because I get this message: You have found the missing lablet! Now, it will self-destruct unless you touch it within the next two minutes. HURRY! But when I get to the other side, the console says this: No passcode. If you still have a Map HUD, keep looking for Dr. Talpa's tablet. If you just finished the quest, move ahead to the Command Center. In my hud, there is no passcode. So even though i 'find' it, i don't get the code. I cammed around when I get the message that I found it, but i don't see a physical object to click on. Has any one done this quest? Thanks for any help! Have a gr8 SL day! ~Bleue

Thanks Klytyna! I went to By Snow and picked up a few - I really love the Hazel Delight set! It's a five-pak for like $75 Lindens, so you can't really beat that, most single eyes (pairs) cost more than that. And they're really good quality, the whites are a little more white than i prefer, but the retina is multi-coloured and looks deep, clear, and reflective (the three qualities i most look for in eyes), and the white-spot is realistic; some are a little too funky for me. For those who want to go - it's hard to find cuz you can't really search by "By Snow" you get land in Winter or somethun - so the creator's name is Snow Frostwych and you can get there from her first Pick, or just go here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lionheart Sarafina/233/233/29 And yeah for those of us looking for whacky non-human eyes she's got tons of varieties for you, so why are you reading this? Go go go! Thanks again! ~Bleue

Hi efryone, So far the best eye stores I've found are IKON, Mesange Eyes, and Mayfly (their eyes are called Luminous). Thanks for your help so far and keep letting me know the places you recommend. I will add more here if I find more stores like these. IKON, IKON (143, 127, 500) Mayfly - Mesh Eyes, Mayfly (52, 222, 561) MESANGE EYES Mainstore, Lush Haven (60, 229, 21) I still haven't found the perfect eyes although I found several which are really great, so I am still open to suggestions. Have fun! ~Bleue p.s. i am not affiliated with any store in SL (except my own, look it up lolz, i have two items ) and I am receiving nothing for these recommendations, and in fact I've never spoken with these store owners or any of their representatives, ever. So this is just a fun recommendation, not for profit.

Great - thank you so much everyone, I will go hunting for eyes now! Also thanks for your patience in my blunderosity; we're been moved to Wanted now so i hope it's all good. Keep the suggestions coming in, please. Thanks again, and have a grey8 SL Day! ~Bleue

Odd, I thought I was under general discussion of the same group that I was in for my previous question (which was the most general of general forums). Sorry for the mistake; I'll close this (if that's an option) and open it there, sorry once again, I didn't see that. All the best, ~Bleue

Hey everyone, hope you're having a great day! I wanted to know what you all think are the best stores to buy eyes at. I have a great pair, but they were given to me and i'd like to see what else is out there. I did some searchings on MP and inworld, and i'm a little overwhelmed. Also, i am just a regular classic avi, and furthermore a regular boring human at that, so not looking for demonic or cats eyes or anything crazy. Also as i'm not mesh when i see some stores only selling Omega and Catwa i'm thinking i need to find a different store. Or am i out of luck and everything is mesh now? So any pointers on where to buy high-quality regular classic av eyes, the kind with the eye icon, not the prim kind as i can't get them to set right, would be much appreciated! Thanks so much! ~Bleue

Wow, great - glad I came back and read these latest comments - thanks so much everyone, that worked! ~Bleue

Thanks guys, much appreciated! I'll try the SL viewer. Have a grey8 SL Day! ~Bleue

Hi everyone, I am renting a parcel and added a Music URL to the Sound tab in "About Land" (i'm using FS 5.0.7.52912) and I don't want it there now. I click the "minus" sign but it still stays there. How do I remove it such that there is no Music URL on the Sounds tab? I thought I'd ask here first before bothering the sim owner as this seems like it should be simple for me to do. Thank you so much! ~Bleue (bluelacroix resident)

Thank you Whirly! The more I read this, the more I think it is the Adobe plug-in for Chrome, not FS. I installed the PPAPI and restarted Chrome, but I'm wondering how it gets from FS to Chrome. When I attach the demo movie is it going to automatically open a page in Chrome, or do i have to click something first? I am already running Chrome. I'll try the upgrade of FS too but if this is really supposed to play in Chrome then I'd rather not, my FS is realatively bug-free on this version, I had nightmares on most previous, and i assume future, versions. Thanks for your reply! ~Bleue

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the right place for this but i can't view media in the Ubume x Origami event. i followed the directions to turn on media, and i'm pretty sure i've used it before but a long time ago. I attached the demo movie they have here but it just plays a static screen - i don't think it is working. I went ahead through the game and where it would show a movie it didn't, so i'm pretty sure it's not working. I installed Adobe Flash Player PPAPI and restarted Firestorm, same result. The event I'm trying is here (this was in the Linden favourite spots email 8/19): http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hakoniwa/64/9/1 Follwoing their directions, I downloaded and installed Adobe PPAPI I checked Prefernces 'sound & media' and i already had checked 'allow media to auto-play' i clicked the little movie camera icon in the top right corner of my screen. It toggles between a movie camera and a pause icon. Under the 'Master' settings the Media box is checked and the slider is in the middle. At that point i wear the demo movie they give at the event but the screen is static. is there a way to check media somewhere else, maybe this sim is borked? My graphics and FS version is this: CPU: AMD A8-5500 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (3194.03 MHz) Memory: 16326 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit (Build 9600) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 750 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 Firestorm 4.7.3 (47323) Aug 18 2015 03:46:39 (Firestorm-Releasex64) with OpenSimulator support Any help much appreciated! All the best - and havea Gr8 SL Day! ~Bleue

lol. You forgot to mention that i fed a troll. :catsurprised: ~Bleue

Hello to you too HughJegow! Hmmmm, okay, well that was not the nicest way you could have put that. I'm sorry i bored you. i was hoping to avoid a scripting solution so i didn't want to post it there, i thought it was a pretty basic 'general' question so i thought it made sense to post it here (as this is called general discussion), and from the subject line it's pretty obvious what i'm asking, so if it is not of interest to you please skip it so you aren't bothered. i hope your day gets better than it was. :matte-motes-asleep-2: Best wishes, ~Bleue

Hi Aethelwine! Hmmm, i will try that too, i'm not sure how that would create the folders but i'll look into it. Thanks so much! ~Bleue

Thanks Dresden! Yeah, I don't have that many folders, and yes I was trying to avoid the scripting solution unless it was necessary, so i went with the box solution. Thanks for your help - i appreciate everyone's input! Cheers! ~Bleue

Hi irihapeti! Thanks so much for your thorough responses - i will keep trying to learn scripting but yeah, for 100 LMs the 3 second thing isn't gonna work. But I will keep l;earning - thanks! :catvery-happy: I'll do as you said, the box within a box. Thanks so much for all your help! :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: ~Bleue

thank you so much irihapeti! :cathappy: I will give this a try, it will help me learn how to do scripts. And i think this is great for boxes with a few items, but that 3 second delay - i have like 50 LMs in each box, so that will take quite a while to transfer to my friend's inventory. I might need to explore other scripting options? i know, there's a different forum for that.... Does anyone know why LL doesn't allow subfolders in a prim? That seems the simplest solution, then you could have a whole folder structure in there and the owner of the box can have that easily created in their inventory. Thanks a bunch! ~Bleue

Oh cool thnks Qie Niangao! A wiki for the scripting language; i didn't know that existed so now i can try to learn scripts. Up to this point i just use free ones i find around, and very seldom tweak them just a little. Although tbh i only sorta understand them when i read them, so writing from scratch isn't gonna happen... okay, wish me luck everyone, although yes, please continue to post replies to this thread if there is a way without using a script to put folders in a prim. Thanks, and have a Grey8 SL Day! :matte-motes-big-grin: ~Bleue

Hihi everyone! Long time since i asked a question here; i can't play the newb card anymore. :matte-motes-stress: So i wanted to give a friend a bunch of LMs, which i have in several folders. As an example, let's say i have a Hair folder, and a Kawaii/Goth folder. All the LMs are fullperms. I want to give my friend one box and have it create both folders in her inventory, and put the LMs into the folders. But when i drag the folders to my full-perm rezzed box on my land with scripts enabled, it just puts the contents of the folder into the box, not the folder itself. So my question is, is it possible to have a folder inside a prim? If not, i could put each set of LMs into its own separate prim, and then put all those prims in a box. But then my friend has to open the main box, take out all the boxes, and open each one which will create the folders in her inventory with the LMs in them. Is there a way with a script to automatically open all the boxes in the main box, and copy the contents of those boxes into folders? Alternatively, if i put ALL the LMs in one box, is there a way to, using a script, create subfolders in the reciever's inventory, and then copy the LMs into those folders? I of course would have to name them something, like Hair001_Amacci, Hair002_Ayashi, Hair003_Cheveux, etc., and the script would have to be hardcoded, or use a wildcard, to know which folder to put which LM. A lot of work for me i guess, but just curious if it is even possible. Any and all help greatly appreciated, and yes, of course if you IM me inworld i'll give you LMs too. They are all up to date as of yesterday. :matte-motes-smitten: You know the drill - have a Grey-8 SL Day! :catvery-happy: ~Bleue
