[llSetLinkColor(6, <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, ALL_SIDES) not working]

Sounds like some logic error in your touch statement, but hard to say without seeing the code fragment.

[Any Viewer is over FHD Resolution?]

Ohh chicken and hen...

But you see the normal Windows 10 desktop and other programs without problems, I assume. If you have another monitor (or uses a laptop) try and set the SL Viewer to lower resolution, for example 1024x780. Now you will see SL on the desktop as any program not maximized. If this is just black rectangle on the desktop when viewed on your TV, I would say, the problem much likely is the graphic card driver and OpenGL.

 

[Does anyone else get freaked out when you're on a sim by yourself and then suddenly see a green dot moving towards you?]

[Any Viewer is over FHD Resolution?]

Try the Advanced menu in the top menu bar with CTRL+ALT+D, select Advanced -> Set Window Size.

Be sure to set resolution to the same as the TV is set to and that the TV supports a given signal, trying lower to 720p,  1080p, if problems.

I use NVidea card, but yours should also have software to adjust the signal , check CatalystControlCenter

 

[Need Help Understanding llApplyImpulse]

Ohh looks like logical bug - switch of Up/Down - , try and replace with below

 

                    if (level & CONTROL_UP){impulse.z += 1.3;}

                    if (level & CONTROL_DOWN){impulse.z += -1.3;}

As to the drift it is hard to say without seeing if change of mass and force is used, but a slight little drifting should be expected either due to latency or movements around/over sim crossing.

[Color Blending - Strange Float value testing results?]

Just now, Ruthven Willenov said:

but shouldn't 0.00003 be less than 0.00?

No 0.0000000000.... ∞1  is always larger than 0.00000000000000 ∞ 0

[Color Blending - Strange Float value testing results?]

Precision of the LSL colors entries are 3 digits, so you need to round the float values according to this.

 

 

[llGetSubString from List items]

Or use either llToLower() or llToUpper(), adds a little more memory and extra function, but - God forgive us - makes it more user-friendly.

 

[Design pattern for plugin OBJECTS ?]

One way to do it in a simple way, is to hide/show fixtures - that is ,add two more wheel sets to a car and then show/hide the given wheel set .

Adds prim count/LI to a car - at least 4 prims for each set.  More complex wheels will be higher prim count. Redundant wheels scripts unless script injection is used or clever scripting of the wheel movements.  Also change of wheel size would require adjusting to the main prim for every change else car would either sink or float over road surface.

 

 

[Second Life Loading Times]

I can verify the observation about slow rezzing.

I got vendor machines on separate sims and here ppl complained over long rezz time for the demos and I went and checked. And sure enough - sometimes nearly two minutes for a rezz from a vendor machine and the same direct from inventory. Asked other shop owners and they confirmed the observation of the long time rezz time. Some items though rezz normal fast, others 20-30+ seconds or as noted above minutes.

This has not been an issue before.

I observed it on geographical independent connections - one fiber 100 Mbps - both with low latency/ping time.

 

[Log avatar moving through a phantom prim]

I would use collision_end(integer total_number) to detect a pass-through which should work accurate within normal move conditions ( walking ) of an avatar, something like this:

    // Entering
    collision_start(integer num_detected)   // check for an avatar colliding with the prim.
    {
        vector pos = llDetectedPos(0);
        llOwnerSay( llDetectedName(0) + "has entered at: " + (string) pos );
    }
    
    // Leaving
    collision_end(integer total_number)
    {
        vector pos = llDetectedPos(0);
        llOwnerSay( llDetectedName(0) + "has left at : " + (string)pos );
    }

Now to detect within a given vicinity record the position of the object and compare it to llDetectedPos()

[Alpha Glitch layering issue (Mesh Head) Please help]

I assume the alpha layer in the texture of the eyelashes are correct?

As to use a script to manipulate the alpha mask, it is possible within limits, using a combination of PRIM_ALPHA_MODE and PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_MASK setting the mask cutoff value. I would assume ,this is the "secret" behind  the mentioned fix using a script.

 

[Auto texture changing script?]

Now your request should have been in Wanted.

But a nice little basic solution on how to do it, can be found in the Wiki: Simple Texture Changer

[llSetRegionPos question]

How much overshooting? The precision of llSetRegionPos is 0.1 meters.

 

And else it sounds like a lag/latency related issues.

[Has lag/crashing got a LOT worse lately for anyone else]

17 hours ago, Jonny Rudyard said:

   Anyone else having this problem lately?  Didn't used to be like this except maybe if you were at a place just packed with people.

 

Yes, last two weeks major lag and delays, low FPS dropping from 30 to 12-14-8 FPS - rezz of object could take minutes including  items for sale in Casper vendor machines. Friends in Europe experienced the same.

Things have normalized for me Sunday August 13th though - excep tthe long time to rezz objects.

[All my HUDS are frozen or stuck]

I experienced the same with my mesh body HUD - which is COPY ONLY (NO MOD/NO TRANSFER), so the only solution was to get a redeliver of the whole body including HUD etc. And having the "joy" to set everything up again (shape, height, skin color adjustment etc etc).

If the HUD of yours in question is COPY ONLY, I' m afraid, you have to do as I did, get a redeliver...

[Play a sound Loop Only at 6 Knots of faster speed!]

A simple search in the BWind script would have shown you the function calcSpeed() with groundSpeed which later is used in updateHUD() where wind speed in knots is calculated as llVecMag(groundSpeed*1.944) - use this an inspiration for your speed trigger.

Simple untested sample: Adding to end of the updateHUD() function should do the trick, define the variables at top of script.

float fTriggerKnotSpeed= 0.0;

float fOldSpeed= 0.0;

....

fTriggerKnotSpeed= llVecMag(groundSpeed*1.944);

if (fOldSpeed!=fTriggerKnotSpeed)

{

   fOldSpeed= fTriggerKnotSpeed;

   if (fTriggerKnotSpeed>=6.0) llLoopSound( MY_SOUND, 1.0);

   if (fTriggerKnotSpeed<6.0) llStopSound();

}

or one-liner:

if (llVecMag(groundSpeed*1.944)>6.0)llLoopSound( MY_SOUND, 1.0);

Notice, your llLoopSound could interfere with other loop sound in the boat, a simple solution is move your control to another prim and let the root prim send speed in a lllLinkMessage()

FYI: Becca Moulliez BWind is well known and regarded as best basic sail boat script for free use, if private non-profit usage.

[Particle Help for splashing watter]

Hi Lolita,

Not sure, if you want a bow wave or simulating waves hitting the hull. Anyway take a look at The Particle Laboratory ripple script, this will be a good starting point for a bow wave.

The better boat "splashes" clearly change the particle parameters dynamically depending on the speed of the moving boat. The parameters below are the secret behind:

 PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE
 PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MIN,
 PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MAX
 PSYS_SRC_ACCEL     
 PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN
 PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END
 PSYS_PART_START_SCALE
 PSYS_PART_END_SCALE

Further a good texture always important behind a good particle simulation of waves, smoke etc.

[Sound for each animation Script]

Well the code you found really nearly shows, how it could be done. But, you need more to handle it correct, most important run_time_permissions

Take a look at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlGetAnimation

Use llLoopSound to given animation as below:

//  PSEUDO CODE EXAMPLE
if (gLastAnimation != newAnimation)
{
    if (newAnimation=="Walking")
        llLoopSound( SOUND_WALK, 1.0);
    if (newAnimation=="Running")
        llLoopSound( SOUND_RUN 1.0);
        
    // Remember to store gLastAnimation
     gLastAnimation = newAnimation;
}

It is independent of region/SIM, same with lower LOD, view distance, lower bandwidth. To me it is clearly server sides issues.

Under normal conditions your ping of 19ms is clearly not to the Tucson server...

We need more information about your computer system before anyone can give any meaningful advice.

No the 19 ms ping is to my local IP (in Denmark), ping to Tuscon, AZ is 175 ms. Sim ping time of 190-240 ms reported by Firestorm  ( Performance Tools->Statistics Bar ), these values are normal for Europeans.

[SL Server problems -2107-07-10?]

Experiencing weird things last 24 hours:

• Rezz of an item can take minutes
• Building/making items and taking it into inventory, does not show up inventory but after several minutes or after a relog.
• Delivery from Marketplace does not show up in received items although popup text tells it is delivered. On next login it showed up in received items.
• Tried a clear inventory cache, nothing get cleared....

Connection perfect, fiber 30 Mbps, ping 19 ms. Internal ping sim 200-220 ms.
