  1. Actually it has changed. I was using Firestorm 6.3.2 version, and they still use "Simulator Channel" in the drop-down, which is why I do not see the simulator version. Mine lists nothing in that field. Finally a reason to install the latest Firestorm version, w/ all the EEP bloat I never use. On second thought, I have no intentions of upgrading to the latest FS version or the EEP Beta - from the 140 comments on 6.3.9 alone, it has more bugs and stability problems than 6.3.2. If I want HD snapshots I can use another 3rd party viewer.
  2. I still don't see what you do - Is this a new addition to the latest Firestorm? https://i.gyazo.com/52b97f443fc6e26d8c5a8f589522aae3.png No build number listed anywhere.
  3. I don't see simulator version in the top menu, and I have both options checked. To see the simulator I need go to Help/About Firestorm and look under Second Life Server 2020-08-17T21:59:51.547110
  4. Yes there is - see this blog, all you need to know to adjust your camera positions: Improved SL Camera 2016 version <=LINK You should also be using Firestorm, and use their Backup/Restore feature, so you don't lose your settings if you re-install.
  5. I suspect Visibility was turned off, and the OP did not actually walk on the parcel they were standing. Another technical question though - How do you make your tags completely invisible to others? (on the same parcel of course.) Viewers have options for viewing name tags of others in General Preferences - but nothing about hiding your own from others. You can still see the account name on Radar/People, and the letters are visible characters. Is there a script you can wear that completely hides your tags from others?
  6. "R - Floor: Come closer. You must be no more than 5 meters from the crystal to touch it." So much for crystal detectors - This has been standard in the LR for the last 2 years. You can't stand in one spot and pick off crystals that are not next to you. Teleports are ONLY allowed between 3 locations in the LR. Try to TP elsewhere and you will still end up at one of the 3 designated allowed TP points. Two are recovery safe areas, and the other is the Village. A speed enhancer does not let you collect crystals any faster - in fact you lose control. They might save you a few MINUTES in running the 4 quests. It takes about 15 minutes to complete all four quests with NO enhancement HUDS. You can only cash in the quests once a week for 50 $L. So these speed cheaters spend 10 mins in the LR per week! OMG the sky is falling, and they are to blame because I can't find a green crystal. So much BS. Develop some game skills instead of blaming others for your lack of skill. Remain stationary at any location other than the village for more that 9 mins and you are transported to the Portal Park, outside the Realms. I wasted 30 mins watching the minimap green dots this morning, as nafys suggested. I saw exactly TWO avatars using a speed/flying HUD. Neither one of them collected any crystals or completed any quest. They must not have found a green crystal to begin the quest, so they left. What effect would they have on another player - ZERO! Molly, I suggest you actually play the present LR game, so your understanding of the changes is up to date.
  7. Grossly False! How do you "cheat" when collecting crystals? You haven't been there for years, if ever, based on your silly comments.
  8. I have run across people who seem to think that "all green crystals belong to them", despite they are just standing in a safe zone and watching other players collect green crystals with their cam. I am not sure where this entitled attitude comes from, but there is nothing in the LR rules that say everyone must only take one green crystal, or you are a meanie that harm others. This is a game, not a charity. Finding the green crystals is a combination of skill and luck. I have never used any "speed hud" and have always found my first green crystal in the first hour of play. Sometimes I am lucky and find several greenies in the first region I enter. But since I am collecting ALL colors of crystals to cash in later, while I am running all over the regions looking for a green crystal I am also collecting the more common crystals. My rule of thumb is that I will find a green crystal by the time I have collected 100 orange ones. It seldom fails. Knowing where and when to look, what the cycle state of the crystals for each region is, and who is competing for crystals, is all part of the skill set. I can't remember the time when someone using a "speed hud" stole one of "my" green crystals. If they got it first it was because they were closer then I was, meaning they arrived first. For the first few months after opening the new LR, there were a few notorious players that were both flying and speeding, usually with a tiny invisible body to reduce detection. They seem to have all been banned, since I never see them anymore. In fact I am usually the only player in regions where you are most likely to find a green crystal. And if there is one, there are usually more, including some blue crystals. There are also times when some regions just turn off crystal generation for an hour or more. In which case, you reenter the portal to a different LR. Regions get broken all the time - its part of the game to recognize that, and simply find one that is working.
  9. Yep, you have the best account that has NO privileges of the inferior Premium account. Your status could be on hold for years. LL responds to issues that increase their revenue within hours. Unless you start making more noise, you might be at the bottom of a long que of "things to do someday". Have you checked the Linden Home page to see if you are eligible for one? You have 4096 sqm of tier available, meaning you are not a Basic member, but I suspect they didn't program that for Charter members either. On second thought, you might find out you have NONE of the Premium member perks, because they didn't exist in 2003. All you get is your 4096 sqm tier and $500/week stipend. That should allow you to buy mainland directly from a private seller and use your free tier for that, and probably buy abandoned land from LL (using a ticket to start the process.)
  10. Well it's been around for about 4 weeks already. If LL knows nothing of this, they should now If they restricted the age to 16 and 17, and they stayed in General regions, it would be legal according to the TOS. Why would anyone spend a few thousand USD on a project that was illegal and would be shut down by LL in seconds if it was not approved?
  11. Judging by the latest youtube videos of the lodge, it looks like the SL moles gave them a copy of the empty Campwich lodge in Bellisseria. Maybe the part-time moles have picked another landscaping project on the side. The joined regions are all General rated, and not accessible by SL members. Restricting access in and out of a region is trivial in SL. It's up to the parents to prevent an underage (<16) child from getting an actual SL account. And I agree, LL must be fully aware of this project, and are making extra income from the land fees and special restrictions. My only concern is mixing 7 to 17 in the same estate. That happens in RL camp though, some counselers are under 18, but parents send their kids to camps anyway. Or maybe they will bracket age groups scheduled for different weeks. Be interesting to see if it works. Lots of green dots on the regions this summer should tell that.
  12. PaleoQuest A3, the golden tooth swamp jumping is broken. Simply walking 10 meters sends you back to the resurrection circle, accusing you of using a speed enhancer. No one is able to complete or even start this quest today. I think the Linden's should try to fix their servers and software, before they worry about cheaters. But perhaps this is their solution: make it impossible for ALL to complete the 2nd quest. That will slow those cheaters down, yes that's the ticket! Actually this so called speed bug has affected all of the quests. Legal running or jumping sends you back to the beginning on every quest - but the 2nd quest is always the worst. And no you can not get to the B3 Paleoquest, which is still working. File a ticket? Sure why not - it has never helped in the past.
  13. Can someone list an RC region with 542403, that is public and not Premium only, please? NM, Maestro Linden provided some regions in the other thread. Thank You
  14. We were on 541970, and we rolled this morning to 542391, which does not have the time/date fix (: All the RC channel regions I visit are on 542391 now. Still looking for an RC public region on 542403, so I can at least sent an alt there to check group notices. Seems they put the time/date fix on the fewest number of RC regions. Would be nice if they would reveal RC channel names too, but I guess they change these so often now they would get those wrong.
  15. Second Life Server: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2020-05-08T19%3A15%3A39.541970.html Scheduled Tuesday 2020-05-19 03:00-09:00 PDT Second Life RC: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2020-05-15T18%3A31%3A37.542403.html <== only one that fixes timestamp Bug https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2020-05-15T17%3A44%3A47.542391.html Scheduled Wednesday 2020-05-20 07:00-10:30 PDT ========================================= 2020-05-15T18:31:37.542403 Tuesday, May 19, 2020 Release Notes Fixes a high profile bug in group notice archive timestamps. Also includes some internal fixes. Resolved Issues BUG-228696 Group notices do not display proper timestamps =========================================== So the timestamp bug fix will only occur on one of the RC channels this week, on Wednesday AM? I hope our club sim is the lucky RC channel that gets fixed. That won't help everyone else on the Main Channel who uses the Group Notices archive to find present events!
  16. Investigating - We are aware of an issue with Group Notice timestamps showing the wrong date on some viewers. We've identified the issue and are working on a fix. Ref: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-228562May 12, 17:16 PDT Some Viewers? The Bug shows in the latest LL Viewer, and Firestorm. What viewers are not affected? (Of course it's not the viewer, as the Status report wrongly implies...) Latest LL Viewer.
  17. Since LL put the same Bug on both RC channels and now the Main Server channel, the answer is no. There is no indication the next roll on Wed for the RC servers will fix this bug, as it has been classified as "minor", and has not yet been assigned. This affects all businesses in SL that use Groups: Events, Clubs and Store owners. If every commercial group owner and club owner would file a ticket with LL, well after 5000 tickets, perhaps LL might upgrade the priority? Nah ...
  18. And today they put the Main Channel on 2020-05-01T18:46:43.541440 , so this bug affects nearly everyone!
  19. I don't think so, have never encountered one. They do have the "evil green mist" which randomly strikes you anywhere for no apparent reason. This includes killing you after you are already dead and in a recovery pool, which is supposed to be a safe zone. You get killed by one of the usual characters, sent to a recovery tank, and the evil mist then attacks you in the tank, and usually removes your HUD too. This wastes at least one minute of your playtime, but is not a penalty. There is also the Sploch, a swamp dweller that tries to attach to your body and kill you. It's a small black mass of swamp crap that cries when you outrun it. It's only purpose is to prevent you from collecting crystals in the hill beyond the swamp quest island, if you have NOT completed the swamp quest first. If you enter the rear swamp hill by jumping the swamp rocks, you will always complete the swamp quest first, so you never see the Sploch. However if you decide to jump the cliffs at the top of the hill, it triggers the Sploches. So that seems to be the only enforcement built into LR now. To jump the cliffs you need a jump enhancer, or flying hud.
  20. Actually, no and no. However there is little enforcement of speed boosters in the new LR. They rely on tattlers to take photos or videos of an avatar flying over rocks and things, including the big jumpers. Since the staff reduction, I don't know if it's being enforced at all, even with an AR with a video showing the cheating. And since most of the cheaters are throwaway accounts, they just make a new one the next day. There is no limit on # of crystals/week. You must have Payment Info On File to cash in crystals however. The 50L limit/week is all you can get per avatar for completing the 4 quests, allowed once/week. So that has resulted in thousands of new Alt accounts with NO PIOF on file, running them thru the quests, often 2, 3, or 4 paired at a time using RLV attachments. I always watch these alts (blank profiles of course, no PIOF) on radar and realize they are not competition for collecting crystals. So there are now more crystals to collect for us with PIOF, a plus I think. The four quests can be completed with no cheating in 15 mins btw. You don't waste time collecting crystals though, just finish each quest and TP back to a recovery tank nearest the next quest.
  21. I posted two events, on different days, and at different times, from the same club, for the same week. I used the same title for both, and the 2nd listing was rejected as a duplicate! Someone might inform LL scripters than some clubs have the same performer more than once a week. I guess they don't get inworld that much. I added an ! to the 2nd one and it went through. This is why we are paying extra for listings I guess.
