Thanks that's what I was looking for.

[what's wrong with SL map?]

Greetings, I don't know if I am the only one with this bug.

Each time I use the SL map from Firestorm and zoom out it disappears completely so you only see water. I can remember it didn't happen to me let's say, one year ago. So it must be a bug from recent versions of the viewers (or maybe misconfiguration).

I'd like to know if it also happens to anyone and also if someone has any advice on how I could fix it.

Thanks.

[Need advice on purchasing male mesh body]

The two mist popular male mesh bodies are Belleza Jake and Signature Gianni. They have the best support from clothing designers. You can use any Bento mesh head you want with them; many users prefer Catwa. 

Thank you! although they don't have reviews about Belleza Jake :/

I will investigate.

[Need advice on purchasing male mesh body]

Hello all

I want to purchase a new mesh body so what's the most used one for men? I mean the one with more clothing/stuff options. In any case, which one would you suggest me to get.

Thank you.

[I don't receive offline ims]

Hello people.
So my problem is that I don't receive offline ims anymore. When I checked my config options I found what the attached snapshot shows.
Please could anyone explain me what is happening here?
So is there any way to fix/activate that option again? I did never uncheck that option.
I got Firestorm 4.5.0
Thanks.

[Firefox going slow in despite of high resources]

SL is not a game and isn't even remotely close to a (more or less) polished and optimized game engine, that's one major difference.
You may consider it as a big sandbox environment at best completely filled with user created, unoptimized content.

However, for most activities in SL, there is no need at all to have 60fps or more anyway.

But most of all: You still haven't really answered Qie's request - what exactly constitutes as "lag" in your opinion?
You just mention that "it happens" ... but what happens?

... bottom line: your setup isn't "high resources" either, though the 750ti should be fine for ALM ...

Yes I think it was misunderstood perhaps, I wasn't talking about speed connection when I mentioned 'lag', I was talking about the gameplay, that sometimes fps go down even being at sims with no people.

Ive got an Athlon 5350, 750ti and 16gb of DDR3 and SL still runs for me at around 20-30fps in 1080p on general medium/high settings.

The big FPS killer is Advance lighting, transparent water, advance shaders, etc

I usually play with a draw distance of 64 unless im in more open spaces, and i keep ALM off unless in more basic places like Social Island where i can run with ALM on and hold 30fps.

But places like New Citizens Incorporated where you got a lot of people condensed into a small area, i keep ALM settings off because otherwise i drop down to 10fps.

 

That was the answer I was waiting for now I understand what elements are the reason of lag.

With a PC like yours you could run GTA V without trouble, but SL lag will continue

And yeah I got the point that connection speed is important too. it's old so I think it's time to renew it.

Thanks.

That's not that bad a hardware configuration, really. (The amount of memory on the video card won't help SL as much as you might expect, but that's neither here nor there.) In any case, it should be pretty comfortable "between mid and high" graphics -- or better, depending what's in scene and you consider "smooth gameplay."

So can we quantify this lag? What viewer frames-per-second are you getting? Is that what feels slow to you?

Also can you describe your network setup? This can cause delays in content delivery, object updates, teleporting... really, many times that SL hits the network much harder than other applications and games. If by any chance you're using a wireless router more than a couple years old, that could be a pain point.

Meanwhile, you might try reducing the draw distance and see if it helps.

I've noticed that it happens each time that I log in for the first time in a day.

Of course it's not the same, if you have 30+ people in a sim, or just 2.

And about fps I'm not sure, didn't pay attention to that detail. But I play mmorpgs and the lag level I talk about (making a comparison) may be around 15-20 fps.

And  I use to log in on my country's peak time I guess, my average connection gets a bit slow around 8-6 Mbps.

So does it exist anything like an 'ideal' configuration for my specs?

Thanks.

Is that Firefox (web browser) or Firestorm (SL viewer)?

sorry yeah I meant to say Firestorm lol.

[Firefox going slow in despite of high resources]

Hi there.
Well here it is my problem, I use Firefox, I have an 8gb ram pc, i3 processor and 2gb nvidia 750ti, however SL gameplay goes slow sometimes, it rarely crashes though. My configuration is not so high, I have graphic options between mid and high only.
I hoped that having 8gb ram and 2gb vram card would be enough to have a smooth gameplay.
So could you suggest any type of configuration for graphic options or something to avoid lag?

Thanks!

 

[Do I need to buy a new Bento shape?]

Thank you so much for such great tutorials ladies

 

[Do I need to buy a new Bento shape?]

Thanks for advices guys. So two conclusions:First, purchasing a complete bento shape is a scam/not necessary.

Second my avatar can look nice with the same shape and a Bento head, as long as it's compatible with my shape.

So... will it take too much time to customize the new head, hands, etc? Don't you need builder skills in order to get good results?

Thank you again.

[Do I need to buy a new Bento shape?]

thank you for the answer.

Looks nice. But I'll look different anyway. And how about the rest of the body? Does the extra movement come with the head?

[WHY OH WHY????]

"I am not Aislin, I am a hacker and this account is mine now. Now I am tracking all your ims."

I use to answer that hehe.

As pokemon games say... "it's super effective"  

[Do I need to buy a new Bento shape?]

Hi there guys. I purchased my shape around 1 year ago. I've read the advantages of new Bento shapes, but I don't want to buy another shape because I'd lose my "identity" hehe. And the most attractive feature of Bento shapes for me is finger movement So what do you suggest? Would I buy bento hands? or would I buy a new shape anyway. Thank you!

Very nice idea. Simple and practice. Better than that Places Page Project lol . Congratulations!

[Warning! Don't Let This Happen to You!]

A real nightmare. Specially for shopping-lover girls. That's why I took an advice from a friend of me, and it's put in boxes everything you are not gonna use in around 6 months. Like an "attic". This way you help your inventory to stay "healthy"

Hola Dorian Diaz, Gracias por contestarme..., pero ya lo había intentado, encontré una solución por medio de un amigo, mejoró los controladores gráficos y actualizó ciertos programas para mejorar mi rendimiento. y ha solucionado mi problema. Gracias de todas maneras!!!!!! 

No tienes de qué pero me parece que hizo demasiado para un problema muy sencillo de solucionar como eran los alpha layers. Me recuerda a una vez que tuve que formatear mi pc porque pensé que el protector de pantalla era una virus juasjuas. Saludos y suerte.

Of course she might have a problem with you, I have more than once when taking pictures in some beautiful spot, had the urge to, take some "nature shots" we might call them, just me and the scenery, but if there is another dot in the sim I resist that urge.

I might dress up of a tree then.

[FIRESTORM DEJO DE FUNCIONAR]

Hola amiga, de momento lo que se me ocurre que puedes hacer es usar otro visor, por ejemplo el oficial de SL:

https://secondlife.com/support/downloads/

Lo descargas y lo instalas. A ver cómo te va. Si todo va bien, entonces es el Firestorm. No soy especialista pero tal vez el Firewall de tu antivirus podría estar interfiriendo con el programa, puedes revisar si desde que tienes el problema has instalado algún antivirus nuevo o algún programa que haya cambiado la configuración. Si no funciona el visor oficial de SL entonces se me ocurre que podría ser tu hardware, o sea tu tarjeta de video. Intenta actualizando los drivers en este caso.

Espero sea de ayuda. Saludos

[Cambiar angulo cuando se camina]

Cuando caminas la "cámara" siempre va a estar en dos únicas posiciones, adelante o atrás (cuando no estás en primera vista). La configuras con el botón "cámara" o "vista" en la barra de herramientas inferior del Firestorm (asumiendo que es el que usas). Al activarlo se abre un pequeño cuadro con unas flechitas, con ellas configuras los ángulos pero solo cuando estás parado.

Espero sea dea ayuda. Saludos

[Porqué no puedo ver mi vestuario?]

Tal vez llego un poco tarde pero eso se debe a un alpha layer amiga. Debes quitar de tu vestuario todo lo que tenga una especie de ícono de camisa a cuadros, sirven para ocultar partes del cuerpo y que no sobresalgan sobre la ropa cuando no calza a la perfección. Es un problema común que tienen los recién llegados jeje yo lo tuve. Espero sea de ayuda.
