    Floating

    I have a question and I will attempt to phrase it in a "family friendly" way. I have an avatar enhancement that floats in in place when physics are used. From what I understand, this is a common problem wiith female avatars. Has a solution been found? If so, where can I find them?
  2. I am in a sim, and I look at the "Nearby" tab to see the names of those near me. I see a name on this list of a person, say, 40m away. Is there any simple way to locate and see this person? Also, I find it incredibly annoying to have to log into this forum each time I want to post a question (yes, I checked the "remember" check box). I don't have this issue with MP. ================================================================================ That's what I want to know, the specifics of how to cam to the spot (with Firestorm) - preferably without having to identify which of the dozens of green dots is the one I want. The problem is that is asks me to log in each and every tiime I go to community.secondlife.com - despite the fact that I check the "Remember" box. This does NOT happen when I go to marketplace.secondlife.com. I log in and it keeps me logged in until I actively select to log out. ============================================================= Thank you, Lindal Kidd. I could have sworn I tried that as I was experimenting while on a public beach sim. Apparently either I didn't, the mouse moved between clicks, or the pointer wasn't positioned precisely where FS expects it to be. I'll try it again.

  4. Lately the Outfit window has been displaying "Unsaved Changes" when I put on an outfit (using Replace option). I've tried saving it, and that "fixes" it temporarily - until I take it off and put it back on again. This happens with every outfit I've tried. The ONLY outfit that doesn't have this happen is the "Newb" outfit I was given on Day One in SL. When I put that on, it says "Now wearing." I'd pass it off as a Tuesday maintenance issue if it hadn't been going on for several days now. I also happen to know that my zone has been reset, so if there's a known bug I'd imagine the bug fix would have been applied at that time. I've done a character test and cleared cache in both SLV and Firestorm (it doesn't seem to be a viewer problem since it happens in both... but it doesn't hurt to eliminate that possibility) Oh.... and I've been playing what I call Strip TP also in the past few days - I'd TP and lose an article of clothing. And also Musical Clothing - I put one of those articles back on, and another is removed. I am well aware that there is an upper limit to the number of items that can be worn, but I'm nowhere near that number. I have one outfit that has hit this limit - which is how I am aware of the limit, and also how I know I'm nowhere near that. EDIT: I just now noticed an interesting symptom. If I log off wearing an outfit that it says had "Unsaved changes", when I log back in it says "Now wearing" EDIT 2: I failed to mention that I did clean installs of the viewers and complete network reboot. Those were among the things I didn't think would make a difference, and didn't, so I forgot to even mention them. Thank you for the link to the blog, I'll check it out. Vulpinus - It began before I iinstalled the beta, and happens with SLV too. It's usually clothing that gets detached. So far, it's not been embarrassing :)
  5. I've got a 5m x 5m floor and a 128 pixel by 128 pixel texture of four floor tiles I want to place on it (standard SL "Library" folder texture named "FloorTile18"). Of course, I want the texture to repeat and not stretch to fit - this is why I made sure to UNCHECK the ""Stretch textures" option in the Textures tab. Unfortunately, this texture is stretching and not repeating - it becomes a 5m x 5m floor with four over-sized tiles. Please tell me what option I've overlooked. I've tried other textures, same problem. Edit: I just realized that this floor is also a ceiling, so I've selected the "Select face" radio button. I doubt this is a factor in the problem, but I thought I should mention it. Edit #2 - I'll bet that's the answer. I expected "Stretch textures" to be a toggle between stretch and repeat upon application of texture. Edit #3 - Sure enough, that's exactly what it was. TY both so much.
  6. I have a Premium User parcel. Is there any way to list what objects are on it and the land impact each has? I suspect there may be objects I can't see. I've tried derendering to find hidden things, but I still suspect there are things I haven't found. Thank you very much for these solutions - I'll check them both out. I haven't yet selected a "Accept as solution" yet, but I'm hoping it will allow to select them both. As to derender.... that's what I did when I pushed a picture too far into a wall (and accidentally closed the Edit window!). I derendered the wall which then exposed the picture and allowed me to right click Edit to bring it back out of the wall. I did this again hoping there were other similar situations. If there is a better way to respond to replies other than editing the question, I've forgotten again what it is.
  7. I had a computer with Win7, 6GB RAM and had a lot of fun in SL. But, I lost internet in January and had to quit playing. In February I got a new computer - Win8.1 w/ 12GB RAM. Now none of the HUDs are working. The two that I REALLY want to get working are Vista's Hot & Spicy AO (it's off and the power button doesn't work) and Ultimate dance HUD. I've installed the latest version of SLV and Firestorm viewer - same problem with both viewers. I tried a complete reboot and the problem remains. Edit: You were right - it was a no-script zone. I was ONE step off the porch of my "Premium User" home and into the common area. I don't remember that having been a no-script area the last time I was there (months ago). Once I stepped back onto my porch, everything worked as it should (sorta... but the remaining problem is related to about two dozen (out of probably hundreds of) animations that used to work but now don't for some reason)
  8. You didn't mention which mesh body you have. I have the Eve Vanda mesh body and use my SL head. It requires matching the colors, of course, but it's not that hard or time consuming. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/EVE-Vanda-slimpulpy-complete-avi-fittedmesh-updated-V84/6012779
  9. I'd try sending a message to Sonofsams since that's the person who's selling the outfiit. I'd presume this is the same person who was involved in taking the pictures and is likely to know more details about them.
  10. One step that I just learned today is that each person has to manually select the Title associated with the role. Just because you've granted someone an additional role does not automatically change the person's title. This is done in the lower left corner of the Group Info window.
  11. TY. I'll keep the other link handy and hope I never need it.
  12. When I clicked on the link it took me to "Support Case History" web page. I was expecting a TP pop-up inside the viewer. I did a CTRL-F search for Caledon, but it found nothing about it on that page.
  13. Ok, it's getting clearer... You understand my present situation precisely. If I keep what I have and buy 2048 sqm, I would owe $15USD/mo If I abandon what I have and buy 2048 sqm, I would owe $15-$5 = $10 USD/mo. Correct? I didn't think there was a property tax, but when you mentioned additional costs of developing it, I wanted to make sure. I've spent any an hour on MP, so I'm familiar with those costs.... all-too-well. LOL! (I usually have a browser window (or five) open to it). Is Caledon Oxbridge University a location in SL? I presumed it was, but now realize I may be mistaken.
  14. You've confirmed what I was beginning to realize. Thank you
  15. Thanks for the tip about Permalink - I was expecting that to mean something entirely different. Here is my current situation, and what I am considering: 1) I currently have and use the Linden Premium gift home located wherever/however it normally comes. 2) I am considering buying a 2048 sqm parcel. Q: Ignoring any "tier effect" for the moment, would the fee waiver lower my obligation down to 1536 sqm? (I presume the tier effect would raise it back up to 2048) Q: If so, if a 2560 sqm parcel was available (I don't even know if that's possible) and I bought it, would I be charged for 2048 sqm? Q: Is there an additional "property tax" type of fee if I "improve" the land? I'm definitely going to do my best to make it to those classes! I don't suppose anyone has the LM handy to post?
  16. I realize now that I neglected to mention in my previous question (a few hours ago) that I paid for a year's worth of Premium membership - so I won't (or at least SHOULDN'T) be billed for anything (since I don't yet own land) for at least another 10 months (assuming the bill arrives a month before membership expires). Should i use the date that I bought the Premium membership and presume the billing cycle begins each month on that date (the 9th for me)? Thank you for the tip about the class on land ownership - I'll try to be there. I apologize for starting a new thread, but I saw no way to reply in the same thread. EDIT: If I understand you correctly... The very first time I buy land, whatever that date of the month it is will set the "billing cycle" in stone. I'll get the whole month's use from it - regardless of the date my premium membership would have been due, right? (thanx for the info about Edit) Actually... as a Premium member I do have land - was that counted as buying land?
  17. I am a Premium account holder and am considering buying land. I have looked at the tier fee page and have seen that the fee is based on the maximum amount of land held in a billing cycle. Obviously, I don't want to buy the land just one second before the current billing cycle expires, so how can I find out when that is? Specifically, I joined SL on Sept 1, 2014. I became a Premium member on Sept 9th. I am looking at purchasing 2048 sq. m. which, if I understand properly, will cost me $15 USD/mo. If my assumption is correct, if I buy it tomorrow, I will be charged $15 on or about Oct 9. I'd prefer to own the land for the entire cycle (and not just a few days), so I need to know exactly when that is.
  18. And I learned that derender is an awesome way to check to make sure everything meets and is even. The house disappears, and all that's left is the panelling and floor that I put in. Everything's water tight now.
  19. OMG - derender worked like magic! Thanks a bunch! I want to thank all of you for your suggestions, I learned a lot today. This just goes to prove what I've always said - I learn more from my mistakes than I do from my successes!
  20. I was fairly sure there had to be a way to get it listed, but I had no clue what it was. Thanx!
  21. Thank you for the suggestion about camming. I'll be more persistent with that. being as thin as it is, it won't be easy. I do use Firestorm, but don't know it well. how do I go about re-rendering?
  22. As many people know, it's not possible to put a texture on the walls of the complimentary home that Premium users get. So, i was using a prim 0.01 thick as "panelling' over the original wall - so I could apply texture to it. Unfortunately, as i was adjusting it to pull it out of the wall, I lost focus on it! Now I can't figure out how to select it and pull it out from inside the wall. I tried CTRL-ALT-T, but it didn't seem to show up. The prim count suggests it exists (I keep track as I build - 117 total doesn't leave much room to waste).

    Where is build?

    I posted a question yesterday about how to upload a WAV file less than 10 seconds long that uses 16 bit PCM sampled at 44.1k in order to use it in a gesture using the standard SL viewer. I am grateful for the answer, which was: Build >>> Upload >>> Sound and pay the L$10 I realize now I neglected to mention that I am only 11 days old in SL, and I'm learning even the most basic things, such as: Where do I find "Build"? Thank you for the heads up that I have to pay to upload.
  24. I have a WAV file less than 10 seconds long that uses 16 bit PCM sampled at 44.1k that I want to use in a gesture. I am using standard SL viewer on a windows system. How the $^!##@^ do I upload it?
