  1. I am new to creating in SL... my son is teaching me how to use blender. I have the latest version (2.71). I want to download the latest avatar for sl, complete with all the settings that enable fitted mesh. I was sure that I saw a blog about it months ago but I can't find it now. If it wasn't an actual file to download it was at least a list of bones and some data about them so that we could create them ourselves.

     

    I'm sure it will be next to forever before I successfuly create something usable in sl but I want to start there.

  2. I don't know what makes you think ANYONE can't do this. The TOS does not police what you post outside of Linden Labs websites. I know chat logs can be altered and faked. She would have to take me to court for slander and then our accounts would be supeonad (that's if the court doesn't throw the case out for being stupid and childish). In any case if they required the original chat logs the courts could get them and they would see that I altered nothing and that her claims of slander would be false. They also would see that what she posted on LL Marketplace, would have amounted to slander since she altered the conversation she posted there. However, LL already removed what she posted there without me even having to send in a report. I am not certain, but I think after she posted it, she tried to report my review of her product and LL did't see anything wrong with my review (because that is still there) but htey did take down her comments that included an altered chat log.

     

    So when you used the word "can't" I don't know if you meant that I was incapable of it or that I would get in trouble for it. but whatever the case may be. She whined and moaned to the Lindens plenty, according to her, and they never contacted me at all. I received no warnings, and nothing of mine was forcibly removed from public view.

     

  3. Hi, I created a group a few weeks ago. I included a link to an external website in the description but the link is dead now. I would like to remove the link and put in an updated one. But I can't find a way to do it. When i go to my groups i click on the group info page and i can edit what is there. but when i look up the group profile on the web, it still shows the original description. Does it take time to process the change I made or is it a separate profile that I need to access somehow to change it?

  4. Yeah I'm still pretty new here. I did know that the linden team doesn't likely see any of this. But I like to find out if it is an issue just with me or if it is system wide, if it is common or really weird before I make a report. I imagine they get lots of reports from noobs that don't know any better and it just slows down the processes of getting to the more serious attention deserving tickets.

     

    But thanks for letting me know how to make a report. since  there so many different departments of sl that you have to sign into independently, it gets a little confusing. I mean you have to sign in separately for the forums, the marketplace, the dashboard and the viewer. I've never seen a site or service that required so many separate log ins.

  5. Last night i noticed that I could get group profiles to pop up but the join button was missing from the profile. I asked around with group owners and they confirmed that hte button should be there, but it seemed many people were not able to join due to the button not appearing. Today i can't even get the profiles to load. I click the links to the profiles and nothing happens. Doesn't matter what group i click on. A new group or one I am already in, i cannot get the profle to come up.

     

    Is anyone else having this problem? I am on the latest SL Viewer, using windows 8. How do you report something like this to the lindens?

  6. I know this is a very old thread but there may still be people out there wondering what will and won't work.. a year ago I bought the ACER v3-551-8469.

     

    Here are the specs:

    amd quad-core Processor A8-4500M with Turbo Core Technology up to 2.80GHz

    AMD Radeon HD 7640G with 512 MB Graphics System Memory

    8GB Ram

    500GB HD

     

    I am still new to sl and don't know what you mean by ultra exactly. Initially i was having overheating problems with my computer. but I found a trick online to lower the running temp of the graphics card and now I don't have any issues unless i have a space heater aimed at me while online. Keep in mind, this is a laptop for anyone who hasn't figured that out yet.

     

    As far as I know my view is running at default settings. I can run more than one viewer at a time if I want to. Sometimes I run SL viewer beside Firestorm. Sometimes two instances of Firestorm.

    The trick was to go into powersaver settings on the computer and set them to conservative levels...I can't remember the specific settings now but if anyone needs to know feel free to send me a message and I will look them up for you. I also installed SpeedFan... its a free program that gives you a temp gauge in your tray and lets you know when things are getting too hot.

  7. I bought an item in the marketplace. I liked the item fine except the provided alpha didn't cover all the areas of my avatar that bled through. I was able to make a custom alpha to correct the problem. I hadn't tried the demo first so I didn't feel justified in contacting the vendor and demanding a refund. And since I was able to make an alpha myself I didn't feel it necessary to bother the merchant, especially since her profile said not to send her IMs about the product. I don't know how to send notecards(noob), and to me it really wasn't that important to me. But I left a reasonably favorable review, and even gave hints on how to fix the alpha problem if anyone else had it. But the alpha was still not up to par so I gave the product 3 stars.... It took me several hours of very tedious work to create the new alpha since the mesh was no modify.

    She then contacted me a few days later chewing me out and even after demonstrating for her with pictures and by TPing her to my location and modeling the shirt as it was originally sold to me, she then said it is my fault it wasn't working because I am fat... My avatar isn't fat.. But to prove a point, even when I make her the fattest she can be the alpha I created fixed the problem. She then said she was going to tell all her designer friends not to sell to me and flagged my review. Ultimately it looks like LL sided with me on the review because it is now back online. Though her comments below it, containing a snippet of a private Im session between us(omitting huge portions of her harassment), was removed.

    If I had wanted to change the review, is that even possible? She kept insisting it was but I did not see any edit buttons when I logged into my market place>my account> order history> item in question> review. And is this sort of harassment appropriate in SL?

  8. I don't disagree with you there. The disclaimers would not be considered reasonable notification for any conversation to be recorded. But as it is, if the conversation isn't posted in world... there isn't much LL will likely do. Of course i think if it is some serious hard core harrassment there are antibullying laws out there in some countries/regions that would supercede any LL tos.

    In my case, i have posted the conversations with this designer because she threatened to slander me to other designers and to show them the conversation. Since she altered the conversation before posting it once already, without my concent or notification and within LL scope of authority, i decided to post the conversation in it's entirety on my own blog. That way people can see everything that was said by both of us and make up their own mind who was out of line.

    Merchants need to be held to the same standard we would hold brick and morter stores to. And brick and morter stores will record your phone calls to them. To ensure quality of service. I did for the same reason. So people can see the type of customer service she provides and know that I am not lying or making things up.

     

  9. they can, that's true, but they would lose revenue if htey did that. If they want to make it a violotion to post outside of SL they can do that. I know of plenty of websites that state it in their TOS. They may not be able to delete what you post outside their site but they can terminate their account.


    LL seems to have already taken a stance on this situation and does not state any warning that they will do such a thing.

    And sometimes there is a good reason to post a conversation publicly. Like in my case being harrassed by a merchant because I gave them a mediocre review on their product. Especially when that harrassment included threats of false complaints and flagging of the review.


    I followed the rules though. You can record a conversation if you have a sign blatantly posted in the area hte conversation takes place. And I did. She however did not. She posted a snippet of our private conversation in the comments area of the reviews on market place for the product in question. And she ommitted huge portions of the conversation putting me in a shady slant.

    Even now she is posting things inworld and on her profile about me, that it seems LL already has warned her about. as it seems one portion of what she posted is a iteration of the policies against harrassment. I didn't even see what she originally posted. They must have just checked her out from her false reports against me.

  10. I hate to break it to all of you who think the TOS is a super barrier of privacy but disclosing conversatios is NOT a violation of TOS if it is not done inworld or SL forums...

     

    you can copy and past any conversation from SL you want, as long as you don't repost it inworld or on any SL site.

     

    just check the SL wiki on the matter... excerpt below

    Remote Monitoring

    Remotely monitoring inworld conversations (text or voice chat) without the knowledge or consent of all parties involved is a violation of the Terms of Service. If you feel recording a conversation is necessary, post a clearly-visible sign in the recording location so that all Residents who enter can see it.

    32px-KBnote.png Note: If you record a conversation, and someone complains, then the abuse team will determine if you provided sufficient notice to the Residents recorded. Proceed with caution, provide documentation on your efforts to inform all parties they are being monitored, and find a secure area before recording begins.

     

    Disclosing private Second Life conversations

    Sharing or posting a conversation inworld or in the Second Life forums without consent of all involved Residents is a violation of the Terms of Service.

    NOTE: This does not include posting of chat to social media sites or other websites. Posting such logs on web pages, emailing them, or printing them out and posting them on utility poles in the "real world" -- are all actions beyond the scope of the Second Life Terms of Service. ; while that might be illegal, but those laws must be enforced by the proper law enforcement agencies.

    "Conversation" means text that originally came from Second Life chat or Second Life instant messages. If it's totally unattributed, then it isn't considered disclosure. Additionally, Residents are not punished for sharing or posting a comment such as "Bob Resident said, 'You're the greatest!'"

  11. Gettysburg Address said:    ....."...it's just a matter of whipping out the ole gimp...."

     

    Just a matter of "whipping" out the ole gimp huh? so why don't you "whip" out yours? Don't know how to do it?oh so you think you should have artists at your beck and call and that their talent is meaningless? Sorry but learning how to 3d model is time consuming and frustrating. That's why people in 3D design in RL get paid lots of money, and you want to harp on them when you are paying them less than one or two Real USDs for their work.

    get over your entitlement issues. Or stop complaing and learn how to use gimp yourself. Its called self reliance. and it can save you a lot of money  in life.

  12. If they are still testing sl 3.6xxx  then why did they release 3.7 already? My viewer just updated automatically a few days ago to 3.7. But since then I too have noticed that on some people i am seeing distorted prims sticking off of them. I don't think i own any rigged mess objects yet but this may be the same issue the OP is having.

     

    maybe a roll back in the viewer will fix it?

  13. I got the house that comes free with a premium account. I chose the willow design, well not actually i had clicked on the tahoe design but it gave me the ugly A frame willow. I don't know how that happened. But anyway, my avatar is a normal human height. (5'3'') and the front door looks to be about 10-12 feet tall. I look like a little kid in my house. and I can't change anything about it. it isn't even the house i wanted. I have tried to make it reasonably comfortable but i hate it. and I hate how close it is to everyone else's house and that it takes up the entire parcel. this information isn't given in the description of the free linden home when you are making your decision.

     

    I didn't know much about building at the time though so chose a house thinking it would be the best option. I am learning to build now and really regret choosing the house. is there anyway i can collect my things from the house and trade the house for the land option instead?

     

     

  14. Ok so i had on prozak shoe base and shoes. i took off the shoes and teh shoe base. now my feet are gone. NO, i am not wearing any alphas or invisiprims or whatever. I looked at my current outfit to see what is worn and there is nothing on my feet invisible or otherwise. I have tried to put on other shoe bases only to have my ankles change color but no feet appear. Socks don't give me feet either

    If i put on shoes, like strapped heals, with the accompanying shoe base, the shoes appear but they are empty of feet.

    I have logged out and back in several times and I even tried logging in with a different viewer. No fix.

     

    Again, I already checked for alpha layers are i am not wearing any.

  15. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the viewer to no avail. it is the latest sl viewer. I am using windows 8. all drivers are up to date. has been working fine for a week and now i last about a minute or two before it says i am logged out, then it crashes all togehter. when I try to log back in it says the area I want to log into is not available and sends me to a hub. then i get logged out again and it crashes. restarting and reinstalling does not work.

     

    a couple of times i saw otehr people that i had been with previously in my original location also being rezzed at the hub which gives me teh idea that i am not the only victim. One time it said the location i was trying to reach had begun log out process.

  16. i ended up doing a wipe and reload of windows 8. I had 8.1 and it seems every program i have hated it. so i went back to 8 on a refresh... NEVER DO A REFRESH. it just reinstalls 8 on top of what you already have. after three shots at a refresh my hard drive which is 500G had only 20 G of free space left on it. It would take several hours just to boot up. Needless to say, I took two days to back up my data, because yes it took the computer that long to process less than 5 clicks of my mouse.

     

    Then I did a wipe and reload then reinstalled sl viewer. was working fine for a while. now I keep getting logged out and the viewer keeps crashing. but its the viewer this time, not my comptuer. When i relog in i see some of the same people I was interacting with also being rezzed at the same info hub it is sending me to, saying the area i was in is no longer available. but before I can do anything the viewer just crashes. I am sure its happening to other people. but is anything being done about it now?

  17. I have only been here a week or two but have been logging in pretty regularly over the past few days. and was on a few hours ago with no problems. but now i can't get inworld. I can log in. but when it tries to materialize me either at my last location or at home, it says that location is not available and tries to put me in some adult chat that I don't think I have ever been to. but the world never fully materializes before my display adapter crashes. It manages to recover but then the viewer is stalled dead in teh water. I have to ctrl alt delete to kill it and restart the viewer only to get hte same results. I have restarted my system 3 times and checked to make sure my display adapter drivers are up to date.

    Another oddity. the first time this happened my programing IDE's all started spontaneously. Virtual studio and Netbeans both started without having been clicked. but only once did that happen. I last used hte program successfully around 10pm CST. Tried to get back on at 12am CST and its alla mess.

     

    Does this have anythign to do with the rolling restarts? I thought that wasn't planned to begin until later this morning.
