"Sims 2" had working mirrors more than 12 years ago. One of the expansion packs added "ballet school" full height wall mirrors, so you could build an entire wall covered in reflective glass. Custom content makers added mirrored floor and ceiling tiles too. Sims 2 Mirrors ran on standard nvidia cards that cost $60-$100, 12 years ago... Actually, that "trend" is more than 7 years old, there was one merchant who made a mirrored version of their entire store. Unfortunately, she also made her own mirrored vendor boards, complete with scripts, so her place lagged like a swine...

Ah good old "Madlander Max, the Prim Warrior", screaming along the roads in the last of the V8 Primterceptors, with its trunk filled with eazy-rez boxes containing amusement arcades, mega-prim rotating adboards, and rental boxes, shouting... "Madlands! Madlands! No Covenants! No Rules! No Refunds when I sell your rented parcel out from under you! WITNESS! ME"

Yes, and 95% of the time it's the same people... People who want to... Ban skyboxes and private estates and exile the "anti-social people" who use them to Project Stupid. Force the survivors to move from greenbelt Madlands sims into "Urban RP Cityscapes" like Kama City. Cover as much of the Madlands as possible with copies of Kama City. Place bike rezzers outside Adult rated Zindra Infohubs, in the belief that this will somehow convince the occupants to stop asking for 'poseball sex' in IM's and "explore the beauties of Kama City". Legalise copybotting of any MP item that hasn't been updated in the last 12 months, so they can steal other peoples IP, and "improve it". Legalise copybotting of entire sims, with a special "entire sim" export format so it can easily be transfered to Project Stupid, or the OpenSim Empty Grid. Ban "bots and alts". Lag the grid to death with thousands of AI scripted animesh store clerk NPC's. Discourage teleporting so as to force the survivors of their other "sl improvements" to drive between the endless empty copies of Kama City along the expanded road network, on motor cycles from their shop in Kama City... All of the above suggestions were taken from forum posts by Madlanders, right here on the SL Forum, over the last year or so... "When you understand the nature of a thing, you know what it is capable of..."

That makes no sense at all... The price for the parcel is the same regardless if you build your Ideal Prim Hovel at ground level so as to be annoyed by wandering noobs, or 3000 m up where you can have some privacy... Yeah places with no people don't need skyboxes, or houses, or to be switched on... ... SL has skyboxes because, people don't want clueless console trash gamer noobs wandering in and asking the inhabitants if they are "dummy avatars and npcs" before whining about "bots and alts"... It's sickening that *some* people can only complain that other people don't want their homes to be public infohubs, filled with passing strangers... <madlander asshat mode> How dare people live in a skybox, or put a house on a high altitude platform, or put up banlines... EVERYONE should be forced to live at ground level in the Madlands, preferably in one of those empty useless fugly 10 year old prim-waste urban zones, with their homes & furniture set to welcome passing urban rp trash... Oh wait... </madlander asshat mode> Let's not and say we did...

Do I sniff armpits of failed-alpha-male-wannabes-online before refuting their gibberish, no. Not sure why you think armpit sniffing is a prerequisite of refuting fact free macho-uber-alles bs. Maybe it's some bizarre alpha-wannabe ritual. Drink beer, belch, fart, sniff each others armpits, lie about how superior you are... That sort of thing. You do score 1/10 for the pseudo-intellectual use of a fancy word for armpit though. Well done.

RLV doesn't stop you offering teleports except under very specific restrictions, which would be pretty obvious, such as not being able to start IM's, not being able to see your current location, etc. Contrary to uninformed rumour, simply having rlva enabled in a viewer does NOT cause most bugs.

It will only take what you have actually selected... Still, with the house out of the way, things are easier to select... Build menu, top of the screen... options, make sure you don't have it set to only select visible objects

Wear the collar, and in local chat type "/1*runaway", then click the collar and go to the rlv submenu where you should find a "clear restrictions" option, for good measure chec k the leash menu too and see if "strict" is ticked.

Ok, if it's your land, and the destination parcel is adjacent... You should be able to use the objects tab in "about land" to highlight and select all your rezzed items, failing that, opening the edit window and using a drag box can do this, or shift-leftclick on each item... Regardless, once you have all the objects you wish to move, selected, simply drag them by the edit-move-arrows, across the line to the other parcel. If the other parcel is NOT adjacent then instead of dragging the items around by the edit-move-arrows, you RIGHT click and "take" the whole lot back into inventory as a grouped object, which you can rez at the new place.

Well "J-J-J-Jock M-M-M-Mantroll", I can't say I'm surprised at your reply, it's the classic Failed-Alpha-Wannabe response... "Women who can use computers, know historical & science stuff, and won't suck boy dangle cannot possibly exist, because lesbians are just chicks I haven't stuck my micro-dangle in yet!" So, essentially, your answer is just more pointless failed-alpha-wannabe web-hero posturing. So what is YOUR opinion worth? PS. You still haven't shown us that "Roman Feminazism" you claimed existed... Having trouble finding a link to the right scene from HBO's "Spurtacus" on youtube?

Historically.... NO. What they tend to have is sycophantic hangers on, rivals, enemies, temporary allies, and backstabbing traitors... Other "alphas" see them as a threat to be undermined and eliminated, "betas" see them as the tyrants and bullies that you either suck up to, or gang up on... Not much of an argument, I'm sure most fascist dictators, for example, would agree that fascist dictators are FINE fellows.. Claiming that people who believe a particular creed will agree with a particular creed establishes nothing. Oh I don't know, personally I found your fraudulent claim that "women want to go with the alpha male" "regardless of which tickbox" to be pretty dismissive of the percentage of the female population who wouldn't touch a man voluntarily. Claiming that women automatically want to go with the alpha male, carries that taint of "there aint no lesbians, just chicks i aint cured yet with my boy dangle...". Then you are obviously not an alpha... As violence is the basis of alpha status... The Alpha is in charge because he will hurt those to defy him, that's how alphas work in pack animals, always has been. Alpha wannabes attempting to establish dominance by instilling fear... Grab shotgun, march into school locker room, eliminate Chad and Brett who get all the girls, establish Alphaness! Ask Sue to suck your boy dangle, eliminate the un-natural ho when she says no, cleanse the pack, be the LEADER! You haven't established that at all. No, it's not. And back to "no alpha-wannabe will disagree with the credo of the cult of the alpha-wannabe". Proves very little. If you are not contending... You're not Alphas... Alphas don't have alpha friends, they have rivals, and sometimes temporary allies, not friends. Violence is the essence and basis of the Alpha... Members of the pack who do not obey must be punished, rivals must be eliminated... It varies with generation and culture... In some times and places, it's based on killing a lion with a spear in single combat, in others it's based on the believability of the lies you tell about how many beers you drank and how many chicks you shagged in the Frat house the night before... So, not Alpha behavior... The Alpha goes out seeking conquest, to spread his "superior genes", that's how alpha's work in nature, that is the nature of alphas, Kill or drive off the weak and the independent, shag many chicks, leave many sons, who will grow up to stab you in the back and turn on each other to replace you as the LEADER! This is where a lot of the "toxic masculinity" comes from, the father who Majored in Football, who will not accept that his son would rather play chess. The father who humped his way through 387 co-eds in Uni, who cannot accept that his son prefers guys. It's fairly common. ... Here's an interesting historical fact for you, from the days when "alphas" didn't face the "challenges of the modern world". In Athens, 2500 years ago, one of the greatest social problems of the day was... "Father Beating" - Young alpha-wannabe males who decided they didn't want to wait for the old man to roll over and die before they inherited, so they would beat him up and throw him out of the house, and thus establish their "alpha dominance"... ... Perhaps thats at the root of the "men not liking men" thing... Too many are assuming that the Cult of the alpha is the be all and end all, and under that dogma, OTHER men are not "friends" because they are plotting against you, to steal your share of the mammoth steak, shag your females and kick you out of the cave!

Do you pay any attention to what actually happens in SL, at all ? Your claim that ALM makes anything using alpha blend ugly can only be described as... "Clueless Tech-Illiterate Olympic Gold Medal Standard Rubbish"

Which is no different than using full perm template, you pay the SuperEntitlement clown to upload for you, then get your mesh back from them full perm (if they are honest, and don't simply rip you off) then you link it to a root prim cube of your own with your logo on. Problem isn't who has their name on the mesh, it's if the SuperEntitlement clown honours the pay-them-to-upload-for-you deal, and doesn't sell your mesh as if it was theirs. Overall, it's a bad idea...

A 3 & 1/2 year necro post, demanding that flexi hair use a non existent "hud feature" to detect mesh clothing AND system bodies and bounce off them, a feature that would require some major dev time implementing "avatar component collision detection" just to improve the appearance of a style of hair thats been going out of style longer than the necro post you made. Outstanding!

And yet, your previous claim and the rest of this latest post prove that you do not... Actually, no, first of all the ratio of free citizens to slaves didn't kill off Rome, cheap slave labour made Rome extremely prosperous, and allowed it to field massive tax funded professional armies... And the reason Rome switched over to professional full time soldiers rather than part time citizen militia, around 105 b.c.e by order of the Consul Marius, was because they couldn't get enough volunteers from those prosperous enough to pay for their own war gear, to fill the ranks. Mainly because the "real roman men" were too busy sitting on their butts watching gladiators and boasting about how manly it was to eat snack food while watching slaves die... Salaried professionals recruited from the poorest part of the population were far more reliable than the "concerned right thinking citizens". There's no evidence of "feminazism" in rome, Roman women had almost no privilege, many didn't even have a proper first name, being simply referred to by a feminised version of the family name. Women didn't vote, arranged marriages were common. I don't know where you are seeing "feminazism" in Roman history, been watching American Actresses spout un-historical lines on HBO mini series again? Actually, the misogyny and homophobia I was referring to is YOURS, the whole "feminazis and their beta pets" not-real men thing. But you are right, it is recent, earlier in this thread in fact. The expression is "one thing's for sure". Nobody will teach you anything about Rome, because you don't listen, and how often I use a computer has no bearing on you being arrogant, ignorant, misogynistic, homophobic, religiously bigoted, and most of all historically WRONG. Oh, and learn to read peoples names...

Actually, the problem with Rome was... Arrogant Alpha-male wannabes who thought sitting on their lardy backsides in the Flavian amphitheater, eating free food, while watching slaves kill each other made them "real men" but who wouldn't DREAM of enlisting in the damn legions to keep the "real alpha males" from the Steppes out of Roman territory... So the provinces peeled away, the economy went down the toilet, and the "alpha male wannabe braggarts" who went on and on about how macho they were for watching gladiators die, and sat on their lardy backsides complaining that the provincials in the Legions hadn't stopped the enemy yet. If you are going to claim Rome, as an argument in favour of your Misogynistic and Homophobic Web-Hero Alpha-Wannabe posturing, might I suggest you actually go away and LEARN something about Rome first... And no that doesn't mean watching historically inaccurate sword and sandals miniseries with bare boobies on HBO.

Ahhhh... The Male Men-O-pause... That's where the men pause and say "Oh!" when you explain that you wont have sex with them because you're a lesbian... Right? Usually about 30 seconds, and then they offer to "cure" you...

If you don't retain the "clunky Resident naming mechanism" (and personally I find that statement to be typical Lastnamer Snob slur), then how can cou convince people to pay for entitlement Club AND pay even more to lose the Resident tag and join the kewl kids with "proper last names" ? The whole "NEW Lastnames as a cashcow" thing depends on having Residents for the NEW Lastnamers to look down on after paying. Derp!

Did you read ANY of the threads about the return of Lastnames? You pick your new user name when you create your account, it adds Resident on the end, then you join Entitlement Club, then you CHANGE your name to whatever for a fee, that's the system they have described, only thing that hasn't been made clear yet is how much the fee will be, just that it's probably going to be a US$ fee, and only for Entitlement Club members. You won't GET a choice of last name unless you are Entitlement Club and pay the fee, non entitlement club accounts will still be created as "Residents", unless theres been some new (last month or so) unannounced change in the plans, available only on some blog of a friend of some Linden.

Why? The Fossils with vast collections of venerable system clothing, well, have vast collections already, and BakeFail is primarily intended to allow them to wear all their old crap. And the newer people who don't have vast collections of 10 year old system glitch pants almost certainly don't WANT that stuff. I suppose "World-O-Crap Discount Freebie Warehouse" might see a modest rise in sales of "Worst of 2008 - Complete Box Set" at 1 L$ a pop... How many 10 year old system layer jeans does one person need... That you ask that question at all indicates a failure to understand female shopping patterns, RL or SL... Let's be honest, one of the biggest reasons for the collapse of System Clothing and the Rise of Mesh, in the early days, was... Better boots and shoes, followed later by better clothes, then better bodies... But first it was boots and shoes... First rigged mesh items I ever bought in SL were, thighboots that didn't scissor at the knee because they were made of two parts.

Only for people so desperate for that "proper last name" snob privilege, that they are willing to pay for Entitlement Club membership AND fork out an additional fee on top... So most new accounts will continue to be "Residents". Running a bot to stand on a poseball in your store wearing your clothes is cheaper than paying L$ to somebody to park their avatar there while afk? Hell, have the avatars you meet run by humans are not "real" in any meaningful sense of the word, because they are sfk, or don't speak a word of your language, or have no interest in you, or can't see you because of their jellydoll settings, or don't pay attention to local chat and can't be im'd by non friends, or whatever.

Interesting yes, but you won't see it any time soon... Witness the "Artiste-Wannabe with the Extra E" whine earlier in the thread when it was discovered that despite being able to set peoples screens to "bloody awful badly made windlight", that we, mere users, can give the artiste-wannabes the middle finger and change back to what suits us... Can you imagine the level of Artiste-Wannabe Entitlement-Whine if we could pick and choose permissions to grant "experience abusing artiste-wannabes"?

Mmmmmmmmm... Chicken tikka massala, with garlic nan...

Completely WRONG. In point of fact, attaching unrigged items to rigged/fitted full perm template mesh is not only possible, it's pretty much an industry standard. Usually it's just a cube with the retailers store logo on, containing the BOSH script for receiving texture hud info. But it can easyily be something like unrigged antlers, it just means that the finished linked item has to be attached to the point where you want the unrigged parts attached, I'm not guessing, and even without watching the video, I can tell you that the principles will be common to Photoshop, Gimp. PSP, Coreldraw, or any other multi layer based image editing app made in the last 20 years.

Because an experience creator being an "Artiste wannabe", does NOT guarantee that they are any damn good at editing windlights, and because it does not guarantee them a right to urinate on peoples graphics preferences. "Hell with your non-20/20 vision, I am an ARTISTE with the Extra E, and I have a gawd given right to abuse your grant of permission to use a teleporter portal, as a weapon to grief you by setting your screen to too-damn-dark-to-see mode, because ARTISTE wannabe Integrity Entitlement! Don't like me screwing with your scene gamma and render divisor so you think you've developed cateracts? don't give permission for the bar stool to animate your avi!" Now, you can promise till you are blue in the face that you won't do that, and that you will use the power "only for good", but just like the attach permissions and the sit permissions, reality is there are a whole mess of Zero-Talent Ego-Whores out there who will abuse forced windlights as they abuse forced tp, forced sit, forced attach, forced look, forced animate, etc., and just give people yet more reasons to say "accept experiences from strangers? HELL NO!". Experiences are too damn ALL or NOTHING, and so for many they will be nothing.
