you right about that like about all one of them wearing the same outfit. that he shares with his imaginary bros

i check the SL viewer build tool and made a table. (i hope I got it right) every vec sl maps to < 0, 0, 0> < 0, 0, 0> < 0, 0, 90> < 0, 0, 90> < 0, 0,180> < 0, 0,180> < 0, 0,270> < 0, 0,270> < 0, 90, 0> < 0, 90, 0> < 0, 90, 90> < 0, 90, 90> < 0, 90,180> < 0, 90,180> < 0, 90,270> < 0, 90,270> < 0,180, 0> < 0, 0, 0> < 0,180, 90> < 0, 0, 90> < 0,180,180> < 0, 0,180> < 0,180,270> < 0, 0,270> < 0,270, 0> < 0,270, 0> < 0,270, 90> < 0,270, 90> < 0,270,180> < 0,270,180> < 0,270,270> < 0,270,270> < 90, 0, 0> < 90, 0, 0> < 90, 0, 90> < 90, 0, 90> < 90, 0,180> < 90, 0,180> < 90, 0,270> < 90, 0,270> < 90, 90, 0> < 0, 90, 0> < 90, 90, 90> < 0, 90, 90> < 90, 90,180> < 0, 90,180> < 90, 90,270> < 0, 90,270> < 90,180, 0> < 90, 0, 0> < 90,180, 90> < 90, 0, 90> < 90,180,180> < 90, 0,180> < 90,180,270> < 90, 0,270> < 90,270, 0> < 0,270, 0> < 90,270, 90> < 0,270, 90> < 90,270,180> < 0,270,180> < 90,270,270> < 0,270,270> <180, 0, 0> <180, 0, 0> <180, 0, 90> <180, 0, 90> <180, 0,180> <180, 0,180> <180, 0,270> <180, 0,270> <180, 90, 0> < 0, 90, 0> <180, 90, 90> < 0, 90, 90> <180, 90,180> < 0, 90,180> <180, 90,270> < 0, 90,270> <180,180, 0> < 0, 0,180> <180,180, 90> <180, 0, 90> <180,180,180> <180, 0,180> <180,180,270> <270, 0,180> <180,270, 0> < 0,270, 0> <180,270, 90> < 0,270, 90> <180,270,180> < 0,270,180> <180,270,270> < 0,270,270> <270, 0, 0> <270, 0, 0> <270, 0, 90> <270, 0, 90> <270, 0,180> <270, 0,180> <270, 0,270> <270, 0,270> <270, 90, 0> < 0, 90, 0> <270, 90, 90> < 0, 90, 90> <270, 90,180> < 0, 90,180> <270, 90,270> < 0, 90,270> <270,180, 0> <270, 0, 0> <270,180, 90> <180, 0, 90> <270,180,180> <270, 0,180> <270,180,270> <270, 0,270> <270,270, 0> < 0,270, 0> <270,270, 90> < 0,270, 90> <270,270,180> < 0,270,180> <270,270,270> < 0,270,270> remove all the vecs that dont map to themself. Leaves 24 vecs < 0, 0, 0> < 0, 0, 90> < 0, 0,180> < 0, 0,270> < 0, 90, 0> < 0, 90, 90> < 0, 90,180> < 0, 90,270> < 0,270, 0> < 0,270, 90> < 0,270,180> < 0,270,270> < 90, 0, 0> < 90, 0, 90> < 90, 0,180> < 90, 0,270> <180, 0, 0> <180, 0, 90> <180, 0,180> <180, 0,270> <270, 0, 0> <270, 0, 90> <270, 0,180> <270, 0,270> am pretty sure 24 is right (is what i meant before about dups) if the LSL rot2euler functions is the same as in the viewer (?!?) then should only get 1 of these 24 vectors which size maps to the x.y.z offsets [x.y.z] = 3*2*1 = 6 [0.90.180.270] = 4 6 * 4 = 24 which is right. A cube has 6 sides that can be orient in 4 ways + depending on use case then will be possible to make some functions to make mirrors out of these, now that know what the actual elements of the table are like Prof mention will have to normalise the euler OP was doing this already with their RoundNinety. just retaining the neg. like -90 instead of normalise to 270. Altho -90 can work as well for a lookup. Can be bit of a pain tho if is both negs and poss in a mapping function or can just do the lookup table approach like before + probably the most interesting thing is the absence of 180 on the y

\o/ i wish you all the best

it depends on how we want to map it pretty much which is why I am not understanding the OP. bc is no map that I can work out + i make some codes so is more easy for me to explain here is a mirror map. where the mirror is the opposite <0,0,0> ~ <180,180,180> <0,0,90> ~ <180,180,270> <90,90,180> ~ <270,270,0> and so on can make a map that mirror by 90deg or 270deg like 0 ~ 90, 180 ~ 270, 270 ~ 180 or any other constant. like 45deg or 60 or whichever example: const MAP 180vec3 mirror(vec3 v){ return <(v.x + MAP) % 360, (v.y + MAP) % 360, (v.z + MAP) % 360>; }v = mirror(<0,0,0>)v = <180,180,180>v = mirror(<180,180,180>)v = <0,0,0>+ can also make more complex maps. where each x.y.z have its own const example: const MAPX = 45const MAPY = 90const MAPZ = 60vec3 mirror(vec3 v){ return <(v.x + MAPX) % 360, (v.y + MAPY) % 360, (v.z + MAPZ) % 360>; } in this case the mapset is: <0,0,0>~<45,90,60>~<90,180,120>~ ... ~<225,90,180>~<270,180,240>~<315,270,300> there are 24 vectors in this map set + in the case of a set like <1,0,0> <0,1,0> <0,0,1> then can make a swap function. example: vec3 mirror(vec3 v){ int n = v.x; v.x = v.y; v.y = v.z; v.z = n; return v;} should note that with swap mapping that <0,0,0> always return <0,0,0> unless make a condition for it in the function same any other symetricals. like <1,1,1>, <2,2,2> etc + basically when know that a vector belongs to a mapset then can manipulate the vectors (indivdually or as a whole set) according to whichever rules we want to apply also in the 24 set above we can know that indice of <0,0,0> is 0 indice of <270,180,240> is 22 so can fetch then a bit faster in a lookup table if maintain a index. or can brute force algo calculate it if have no lookup table + can know what mapset a vector belongs to by modulo it with the map. example (using above const map) bool inMap(vec3 v, vec3 m){ return !((v.x % m.x) && (v.y % m.y) && (v.z % m.z));}b = inMap(<225,90,180>, <MAPX, MAPY, MAPZ>);b = TRUE;+ the main thing is that all the vectors in a set have some constant common to them all like they not just random drawn, so easier to work with altho if do need more random-looking then can use a feistel network algo to make 'random' sets that way + so after all that can pretty much make any vector maps we want for own use case i just dunno what is the map OP is using + eta; swap function i should of called it swapwrongmirror() (:

your argument was ok until this bit "This means now the original content creator who didn't sell full perm can no longer make a decent return on their time and effort. So the incentive to be original, creative artistically and innovative is no longer there. So they either invest less time or they leave or they become full perm sellers themselves. Here is the catch, it was only because the non-full perm items value that was making it possible for the full perm item to have a decent value" you making a jump to a conclusion which is not actual supported by the argument you were making that there can be a price race to the bottom for value-added contents applied to full perm templates has no relationship to the incentive to be original, create and artistically innovative a price race as a disincentive to people who are texturers and not modellers can be true, if that is all that was possible for them to do but it isnt the texturers who were nearly obselete (or it seemed like it to them when mesh came out) have been invigorated and they all back in the business of doing what they do best: texturing mesh bodies and mesh body clothes appliers. Clothes, nails, skins, makeups, etc best thing that ever happened to texturers since ages. Them texturers who still struggling a bit with learning mesh making tools, are also even now able to make good money again. bc of this new market for them. A market they can join in on + also original mesh clothes makers who are skilled are making really good money these days. New content that is well-made always attract a premium. Like 450L avg for a quality item now for the top guys these days. A price being asked for and paid for. When about 2 years ago it was 250L and falling price was falling back then bc we the customers had already consumed all the stuff that was pretty much possible. Was hardly any really new and innovative stuff being made, at the end of the prim/sculpt days + what mesh templates did was keep the texturers and not-yet modellers solvent. Those who needed something to make and sell in their shops. So to keep getting some money to pay the tiers, while they learn the new tools to make mesh now they do. Know how. and is amazing new and better mesh stuff coming out every day. and the prices are going up for these guys template-made prices are diving tho. Thats true. but not bc of the disincentives for original creative artistically innovative people. template content prices are diving bc of the financial incentives that original creative artistic innovative people now have (once again) to make their own stuff same as they used to do with system layers, prims and sculpts + eta. just in case is not clear template clothes are the clothes can buy at Walmart in the RL. Cheap and functional intended for the Main St. They not made or even intended for the High St and also. Is heaps of people quite happy to make for the Main Street and sell for what ever they can get. Like 20L or 10L even. Just make as best they can and stick on the MP. and if soem money then ok. If not then oh! well. It dont matter

Tolya Ugajin wrote: In terms of the people of SL as a whole, it's the same as it ever was, although the immature, juvenile nitwits who use it as a playground to grief others are less common. Mainly, I assume, because SL is no longer new, exciting, hip, or, frankly, interesting to that type of person. Which, I suppose, is a good thing. they dont come anymore bc the LL engineers broke their toys + and also the actual juveniles who were once actual juveniles grew up to not be juvys. They got older and now most of them parked up in a SL beach shack somewheres doing not much at all except ogle random passing avatars that go by their shack and the ones who werent actual juveniles just crusty old people with a butthurt on, sloped off. bc broken toys

hit the marketplace and buy for $0 as many demos of clothes and stuff that you can get thru in a reasonable time. Try them on and see what is https://marketplace.secondlife.com/ + by HUD then not sure what you have exactly. If just AO then the one you got will still work ok if you had HUDs for other things then is a whole lot of features now built in to the SL official viewer which can replace a lot of the old HUDs also the Firestorm viewer has heaps more other features that the official viewer dont have

sooooo no slmex for you except when is somebody elses sl partner and you got a dopey on your face and your face also stuffed with m&ms !!! weirdo !!! q; jejejeje (:

jeejjejej (:

i think OP is maybe understanding about mirroring. they only got 32 out of the 64 possible. Altho some of the ones they have got are dups my main thing with it is that I am not seeing what is the mappings OP is using some of them dont map others in the sets at all. and some map some in other sets and some map to some in same set. So dunno really bc dups then I think OP still working out what the mappings is

how good are your mesh modelling skills? You said this is no problem for you?? if you good at mesh and can make really good stuff then put that in your Wanted advert and also be able to show people what you have made already if you are good mesh modeller and texture maker then really good scripters will be interested in working with you. Like commercially, so you can both make some loot out of it

i had another go i couldnt get the map to repro. but yes was able to get the mouselook to repro what you said. So yes is a prob dunno what is the actual fix. except was able to reduce it a bit by turn off : Enhance pointer precision in the Mouse Pointer options + ps i think the bug maker is a perv. bc my cam mostly goes straight down and end up looking down my front jejeje (: + pps i was able to repro also on my Razer Imperator mouse. So is not just a Microsoft mouse issue my Razer tho has extra side buttons on it. So i just click off/on the one I got setup for cam locking which stop the cam drift

i cant repro this suggest that it is maybe your mouse driver or maybe is something more simple. like your mouse is worn out or needs a clean

another way is can use a lookup table approach. Something like maybe list Vectors = [ <0.0.0>, <180,0,0>, <0,180,0>. <0.0.180>, <0,0,90>, <0,0,-90>, <-180,0,-90>, <180,0,90>, <180,0,-90>, <-180,0,90>, <90,0,0>, <-90,0,0>, <-90,0,-180>, <90,0,180>, <90,0,-180>, <-90,0,180>, <0,90,0>, <0,-90,0>, <0,-90,-180>, <0,90,180>, <0,-90,180>, <0,90,-180>, <0,90,90>, <0,-90,-90>,<0,-90,90>, <0,90,-90>, <90,0,90>, <-90,0,-90>,<90,0,-90>, <-90,0,90>, <0,-90,-180>,<0,90,-180> ]; float x = 0.5 * (llRound(Scale.x) & 1); float y = 0.5 * (llRound(Scale.y) & 1); float z = 0.5 * (llRound(Scale.z) & 1); integer p = llListFindList(Vectors, [RoundRot]); if (~p) { if (p < 4) { Xoffset = x; Yoffset = y; Zoffset = z; } else if (p < 10) { Xoffset = y; Yoffset = x; Zoffset = z; } else if (p < 16) { Xoffset = x; Yoffset = z; Zoffset = y; } else if (p < 22) { Xoffset = z; Yoffset = y; Zoffset = x; } else if (p < 26) { Xoffset = z; Yoffset = x; Zoffset = y; } else if (p < 30) { Xoffset = y; Yoffset = z; Zoffset = x; } else { Xoffset = z; Yoffset = y; Zoffset = x; } } + eta: dunno if you noticed but there is only 6 assignment sets in x.y.z ( 3 * 2 * 1 = 6) the last (7th) is the same as a earlier one. the 22 set. So can combine them for 1 less "if"

i dont mean to be a downer but I think you kinda trying to reinvent something that has already been pretty much written is quite a number of battle/combat systems which you can get. with all the source codes they quite good as a base to mod/make your own system off the wiki link for all of them is here http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Combat/Systems

suggest to join the group: SL frees and offers (SLF&O) they put out a list regularly (a group notice) of all the stuff that merchants put out for the SLF&O group members like just on hair is over 200 items that can get the rule of SLF&O is no Adult (A) stuff. So that just leaves G and M you being G only. means you would have to work thru the list and find the G onlys. But is quite a lot of G shops + if you do do this (work thru the list) everytime it comes out, then quite a few people (incl. the group mods/officers) will love you bc you can put it (the G Only list) back into the group (as a notice) for everyone else in the same sit as you

it wasnt a exploit all he (that guy) was doing was collecting information on possible alts and then sharing it. Which was not against ToS at the time to do. Alt accounts were not considered to be personal information at the time all LL did was change the ToS to say that alt identities are now considered by LL to be personal information. So not shareable anymore unless by consent + that the guy was a actual RL convicted criminal (for other things) dont have anything to do with anything really
