    I don't know. I'd suggest you attend one of the Content Creator User Group meetings and ask there.

    As I understand it, it's a myth that lots of people log into SL with very low spec machines -- LL see the default graphics settings that viewers apply when they're installed, whatever people may later set them to, and apparently the vast majority of users have machines that can easily handle medium to higher-range graphics settings. The only sizeable constituency who use very low end machines are bots, who are logged in on text-only viewers for obvious reasons. Certainly from I've been told, people won't find that PBR means they can't log in. It shouldn't make a big difference to people's performance, at least not with the Official Viewer. And that's been our experience in LPDW, where we use a wide variety of different machines, and those of who have them, have deliberately been testing PBR viewer on our low-end backup laptops. If your machine can't cope with particular PBR features, you won't see them, just as not everyone has been able to use particular graphics settings in the past. It shouldn't spoil your SL.

    We Moles have been testing the various PBR viewers for some months now (well, we had to, to build Winter Wonderland, of course, but that wasn't the only reason). We use a variety of machines of all shapes and sizes -- I'm still running a GeForce GTX 660 GPU ! -- and I don't think any of us have experienced particular performance issues with the more recent builds. At least Windows users haven't. I know the Mac users were having difficulties not so long ago, but I think those have now been ameliorated, if not completely fixed.

    The randomness is, in this case, intentional. If you fiddle with it enough, sooner or later it'll blow up.

    Perhaps the conversation about CMNF, BDSM and other kinks would, if people want to pursue it at any length, be better conducted in a thread of its own, perhaps in the adult forum. I don't think this thread is right place for serious and extended discussions about any topic.

    If you come across another one you can't restart, let me know and I'll gladly take a look. The long touch script recognises Lindens, Moles and the parcel owner, and I can't think of why it wouldn't know who the parcel owner is, whatever problems the main script is having. Clearly it does work for the parcel owner, at least in some cases.

    We've got a fix and are waiting for it to pass QA (unfortunately, this is our busiest time of year, so QA's time is limited). However, as I've said several times in other thread, every time I've investigated the issue, I've been able to reset the house controllers by touching them, holding down the left mouse button for 10 seconds and releasing it. When people IM me about it, I tell them to do that, and that I'll come over and take a look if it doesn't work, but please to try that first, and it always works for them. From this I conclude that 10 seconds is longer than many people think. If you find any more house controllers like that, ping me and, if I'm online, I'll come over and take a look with you.

    I have sought advice and am told that cross-posting links to the Adult Forum in this General Forum is not permitted.
  9. Quartz Mole
    Since this thread seems unlikely to provide any more useful insights for anyone into the merits or otherwise of cross posting, and since the discussion keeps on getting personal, I think it's best to end the discussion here.

    I've just removed a post containing a completely uncalled for attack on another poster, and a couple of posts replying to it. These forums are not the place to air grievances with other posters. Do it in personal messages if you must, and if you think their behaviour in these forums is objectionable, report the offending posts and we'll take a look. But don't post about it in public threads.

    This thread is about Why is SL Clothing Mostly Overtly Sexual? If people feel they must complain about First Life fashions and dress sense, the Pet Peeves thread is available. Please reserve this thread for a discussion of SL fashions.

    I've just visited both locations and reset the house controllers by left clicking on them and holding down the left mouse button for 10 seconds before releasing it.
  13. Quartz Mole
    I don't think you can have held down the left mouse button for long enough. Hold it down for 10 seconds (time it if necessary) before releasing it. If that doesn't work, drop me a message and I'll take a look, but I'm pretty sure that's the problem. We're working on a tool to unfreeze all the house controllers remotely, but until that's ready the long-touch should fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
  14. Quartz Mole
    I think all that can usefully be said about the topic has been said, so I'm closing this thread.

    Tempers seem to be getting rather frayed, and I've had to remove several posts. Please, remember the forum guidelines: For what it's worth, I think a new thread on "How does your avatar look when enhanced by AI?" might be a very good idea, not least since it could be argued that this thread is supposed to be about How does your avatar look today? rather than How can third-party software enhance images of your avatar today? Those seem to me to be two different, though clearly related and equally valid and interesting, topics. But that's just a suggestion rather than any sort of official ruling. Whatever you post, though, please keep let's keep things civil. Sembra che gli animi si stiano scaldando e ho dovuto rimuovere diversi post. Per favore, ricordate le linee guida del forum: Per quello che vale, penso che un nuovo thread su "Come appare il tuo avatar quando viene migliorato dall'IA?" potrebbe essere un'ottima idea, anche perché si potrebbe sostenere che questo thread dovrebbe essere dedicato a Come appare il tuo avatar oggi? piuttosto che a Come può un software di terze parti migliorare le immagini del tuo avatar oggi? Mi sembrano due argomenti diversi, anche se chiaramente correlati e ugualmente validi e interessanti. Ma questo è solo un suggerimento piuttosto che una sorta di decisione ufficiale. Comunque, qualunque sia il vostro post, vi prego di mantenere le cose civili.

    SSP83X is where Dyna and I tend to work when we're not working elsewhere. We could be working on any number of things. Could be house controllers but could be a lot more besides, not always Linden Homes related.

    At this point, or so I understand it, reflections aren't supposed to be used for making mirrors (though they can be, as noted above, if you don't mind trashing your frame rate and stressing your GPU). At present, they're primarily for changing the way light and shadows are reflected from/projected onto surfaces, so you don't have to bake those into textures. I'm told we may get actual mirrors at some point, but not yet. See the discussion here for more details

    That's to be expected -- Linden Lab's engineers have been trying to ensure legacy content doesn't dramatically change its appearance as a result of PBR. We in LDPW are finding, though, that PBR content looks far better than does legacy content made with the Blinn-Phong model. You'll should also find, if you play around with interior probes inside buildings, that you have much more control over local lighting that you did before (so, for example, you can stop lights shining through walls).

    There's no need, of course, to attend the user group meetings before submitting a jira request or report. But if someone is thinking of submitting a request and wants to discuss it with the Lindens who will be dealing with it, that's the way to do it. Pinging them in the forums won't do any good.
  20. Quartz Mole
    It's not difficult. 1) Go to https://jira.secondlife.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa. If necessary, log in with your Second Life username and password. 2) Click the Create button (top of the page, at the right). 3) This opens the Create Issue window. Select Bug Project (BUG) from the project drop down (if it's not already showing) Select "New Feature Request" from the Issue Type drop down (if it's not already showing). Fill in the rest of the form and click "Create".
  21. Quartz Mole
    If you have a feature request or want to report a bug with something, then you should submit a jira about it, which guarantees it will at least be seen by the relevant Lindens. By all means discuss it in the forums first, but don't ping Lindens in your posts in the hope that they'll see your post and act on it -- they won't. Nothing can happen unless you first submit a jira. If you want to discuss your feature request with the relevant Lindens before submitting it, then you should do that at the relevant in-world user group meeting, where you're sure to find the people who'll be dealing with the feature request if and when you later submit it.
  22. Quartz Mole
    You can't stop other people from seeing your posts, I'm afraid. Nor can you prevent their reacting to them. As far as I know, the forum software doesn't allow it.

    That baffles me. The fact you're getting the message tells me the bucket is working. Am I correct in thinking that your HUD works on most parcels and fails only on a few? I can think of some circumstances in which the HUD might not hear/respond to messages from the bucket, but none of them would be intermittent -- it would either work or it wouldn't. When this has happened, do you remember if it was on the first parcel you tried after attaching the HUD/logging in, or was the HUD working properly and then it suddenly stopped? And did you do anything between trying it on a parcel where it didn't work and trying it on a parcel where it did (changing regions, reloging, etc)? If anyone can send me a slurl for a parcel where this is happening, I'll check it out and try to fix it for next year, but at the moment I can't do anything because I simply don't have enough information and I don't have the time to try to find a parcel myself.

    It looks that way, but it's a pathcut, hollowed and sliced prim, 32 metres long. All you can see is the visible bit. This is where the root actually is: That's with "edit linked" checked. If I uncheck it, the cross-hairs revert to the centre of the tree.

    When were doing our post-release checks on random regions we looked for unowned parcels on which to test the rezzers, and deliberately left tree houses there when we'd finished. Maybe it was one of those.
