    I was able to get the pack on trads no worries, but I couldn't get one on Swithins Bridge at a Victorian I have there, which is actually on my main account...lol

    edit: I put in a ticket as well

    I've found your house on Swithin's Bridge and fixed the issue, I think.

    Has anyone had any trouble getting the creation pack and the security system from the mailbox of the updated Trads? I have tried twice to get them and they still aren't in my inventory.

    I have tried numerous times at my main's traditional location.  No luck.  However, my alt was able to get hers in her region. **shrugs**

    Same here. I've tried this on 2 separate parcels and can get neither the content pack nor the security system. Even waiting nearly 24 hours for delivery from the first one, still nothing.

     

    I've just checked, and our remote server is delivering content packs.   

    Things to check -

    • Please check your block list (Communicate>Block List in the Official Viewer,  Comm>Block List in Firestorm) and make sure you don't have Milli Mole blocked/muted (it's not a good idea to block any Moles and Lindens, and certainly not Milli).    If you have, unblock her and try again.
    • If you're sure you don't have Milli Mole blocked, touch the house controller and hold down the mouse key for at least 2 seconds before releasing it.   This resets the main script.  Give it a couple of seconds to restart and re-read all its parameters, including the current ip addresses of the remote servers, and try again.    

    Do check your block list first, though, because it's very easy to block people by accident when you think you're simply dismissing a menu, and that's almost always the cause of this kind of problem (I've certainly done it a few times).

    Some color carts, like Sherwin-Williams, does not use RGB. Let us say I like Ice cube. Ice Cube SW 6252 - White & Pastel Paint Color - Sherwin-Williams

    d306968eb2a99e37c4f0609065adaff8.png

    But Encycolorpedia can find it for me.

    Here is the search result for ice cube - Search (encycolorpedia.com)

    If you want to convert hexadecimal colour codes to LSL, there's a simple userfunction in the wiki: 

    vector hex2lsl(string hex)
{
    integer i = (integer)("0x" + hex);
    return <(i >> 16) & 0xFF, (i >> 8) & 0xFF, (i & 0xFF)> / 255;
}

    https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Color

    You could use it in something like this: 

    integer iChannel;
integer iHandle;

key kToucher;

vector vColor;
vector hex2lsl(string hex)
{
	string s = llGetSubString(hex,0,0);
	if("#"==s){
		hex = llDeleteSubString(hex, 0, 0);
	}
    integer i = (integer)("0x" + hex);
    return <(i >> 16) & 0xFF, (i >> 8) & 0xFF, (i & 0xFF)> / 255;
}


default {

	state_entry() {
		llSetTexture(TEXTURE_BLANK, ALL_SIDES);
	}
	touch_end(integer num_detected) {
		kToucher = llDetectedKey(0);
		iChannel = llGetUnixTime()*-1;
		llListenRemove(iHandle);
		iHandle = llListen(iChannel,"",kToucher,"");
		llTextBox(kToucher, "Please enter the hex code for the desired color, and hit \"Submit\"",iChannel);
	}

	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message) {
		llListenRemove(iHandle);
		message = llStringTrim(message, STRING_TRIM);//trim leading and trailing spaces and other non-printing characters
		vColor = hex2lsl(message);

		llSetColor(vColor, ALL_SIDES);
		llRegionSayTo(kToucher,0, "The LSL equivalent of "+message+" is "+(string)vColor);
	}


}

    NB  LSL expects hex codes to start with "0x" rather than "#", so this script converts the # sign.   If your hex code starts with anything other than "#" you will need to tweak this code.

    I have a question about one of the new home controller features ...  @Quartz Mole , what, in practical terms, does this mean for users?  Or is it something to make it easier for moles to put together a region with a variety of parcel types on it (landscape permitting?).

    The main changes to the housecontrollers as far as users are concerned are that everyone should now find an additional button on the menu that will deliver a security orb directly to them (previously you have to find it it in the Content Creation Pack) and, in the case of the Traditional Houses, home owners will find some additional menu choices for open-plan houses.    

    We've also taken the opportunity to revise the communications and rezzing systems, which should fix some bugs with houses in particular themes not de-rezzing when they're supposed to and should also make the rezzers more reliable and less prone to stall.  But, as you suggest, the main difference is that, going forward, our region designers will be able to mix houses from different themes (other than Fantasy) together on the same region as they want.

    Careful, @Quartz Mole! You'll open up the whole "do bots have the same rights as people" debate!

    (For a very poignant take on that, see The Bicentennial Man...either the book by Asimov or the film starring Robin Williams)

    I don't care about bots' rights.  I have my instructions to remove their names from threads, and since I have better things to do with my time than keep on editing them out,  if I keep on having to do it, I'll solve the problem by locking the thread.

    North and South, yesssss. Good thought.  B as in Big, as in 2048?  Big Introduction North & South?  Or maybe B for Bungalows!  Bungalows would be adorable! Bungalows instead of ranch houses!  *laughs*

    One person in SSPBIS now, and 3 in SSPMUT.  

    MUT ... "Model Update"?

    But ... but ... but ... Patch said there'd be updates to the older themes coming before the end of the year!   Wouldn't those involve the home controllers?  He ... he ... wouldn't misdirect us, surely?  *wide-eyed*

    Not Patch!

    Good syllogism:

    • All work on housecontrollers takes place on SSP83X.
    • Work is being done on housecontrollers.
    • Therefore work is being done on SSP83X

    Bad syllogism

    • Work is taking place on SSP83X.
    • All work on housecontrollers takes place on SSP83X.
    • Therefore work is being done on the housecontrollers.

    Actually, any green dots on SSP83X on Sunday or Monday were probably me and one of my alts kicking Halloween Candy Buckets to try to make them work.

    Since things are getting out of hand, I've removed several posts in the hope this will get the thread back on topic.   

    If that doesn't work, then we will close it.

    In the meantime, if you think a particular poster is consistently annoying or just trolling, please consider using the "block" feature, so you don't have to see their posts any more.  (Unfortunately, moderators don't really have that option).

    I wouldn't read too much into comings and goings on SSP83X.   Besides using it for working on new themes, we also use it for debugging any Linden-Home related issues,  and it's also one of the regions I tend to use if I just want a quiet place to work.

    @Quartz Mole I wanted to close this thread several posts ago, but I don't see where or how to. And just so that it is known, I never "yelled at or harrased" the land owner, I asked if they could reset the orb to allow me or others time enough to pass. As it turned out it was a subdivided parcel Which meant a different owner. from now on I've decided that these spaces are to just be avoided. 

    SO Please, Im sorry to have brought this up, I just wanted to have some conversation about it. I guess this is why I most of the time avoid the forum. To much Drama. 

    We don't normally close threads on request, I'm afraid.

    @Quartz Mole Is there any chance we can be given an extra day to collect candy since Sunday was more or less a total bust?  The buckets are still not working as of 4:49 pm SLT.  

    I know one resident who is waiting outside and replacing their bucket each time someone clicks it, which is absolutely amazing and going above and beyond, but there are a lot of dead buckets out there right now.  Google really needs to get its act together. 

     

     

    That's not up to me.   I've  messaged the Linden who is overseeing the hunt to tell them what's happened (linking to this thread) and we'll doubtless discuss  it tomorrow when they get to work.     We'll just have to hope that Google sheets are responding by then, and see what happens. 

    I have to say, though, that there are technical reasons why extending the hunt isn't as easy as you might think.

    Thanks for the updates! now I just am hoping the buckets I clicked that were "busy" won't register that I had already clicked them or my Hud will update with those I did. lol. time will tell!!  we're on end game now 🎃

    No, if you get the "busy" message, you can return to the bucket and click it once it's working again, and then it should play the animation and update your HUD.

    Ok, so we won't have to reset the pumpkins ourselves? 'Cause I did mine about a half hour ago and it seemed to work, but my alt's is broken too and she hasn't been by to fix it...

     

    Resetting the bucket will make it touchable again, but the next time someone touches it, unless Google returns the expected confirmation, it will stall again.

    The bucket will keep on trying to contact Google until it's successful and, once it is, it should start operating as normal.   So there's no need to keep re-rezzing the buckets.     The problem will persist until things are sorted out at Google's end, I'm afraid, but then they'll clear themselves automatically.

    @Patch Linden - All of the buckets that I'm trying to hit currently are giving the following message (with nobody else being in the entire Region even):

     "Bellisseria Trick or Treat 2022 - Candy Bucket V7.0: The Bellisseria Halloween Candy Bucket is in use at the moment.  Please be patient"

     

    I've TP'd to about 10 now and all give that message whether or not anyone is around.

     

    And I just noticed that every time I wear the Bucket, it detaches within a second or two.

    @Abnor Mole, @Quartz Mole - Couple more tags in case Patch is off doing RL things today (cuz he is totally entitled to do so).

    See this post:

     

    Thanks for the reports.  This is happening because of some work Google seem to be doing with Google Sheets, which are part of our record-keeping process.   When the buckets try to post data about someone collecting a candy, they're receiving the electronic equivalent of "the web page you requested is temporarily unavailable," and that's stalling them.

    I've seen this happen once before with Google Sheets (not with the candy buckets).   It lasted for a few hours and then things went back to normal.

    I'm really sorry -- it's very frustrating (and it's meant I've had to suspend work on an urgent project, too) but there's nothing I can do about it, I'm afraid.   

    Once Google fix things at their end, the buckets should be able to reset themselves and start working about, but in the meantime we just have to be patient and wait.
