    Changing Light on Pathway?

    in Building and Texturing Forum

    Posted

    Hi, all.

    Next noob question.

    I bought  the Dirt Grass Pathway from Tsunami Creations. When the light on my parcel changes the pathway's light doesn't change with it. Which creates an effect whereby at night the pathway appears to glow, because it's still in daylight. Is there any way to change this?

    See the image below:

    Thanks for responding.

    The prefab home is a Trompe Loeil, and according to the notecard that came with it: "All parts of the build except for scripts and animations should be both modify and copy. "

    So I was hoping that means I can copy one of the textures and paste it onto a prim that I've created that's functioning as a kind of foundation for a place where I can't terraform the sloping land anymore to raise it to meet the home's base.

    See the attached photo. I would like to take the texture from the home's prefab foundation (the strip of stone wall along the base) and add it to the prim that at the moment looks like natural wood.

    Is that not possible?

    I'm a noob when it comes to building and dealing with textures. Can someone recommend a good video tutorial? I see several online. Just want to watch the one that's most current

    In a nutshell: I put a prefab home on a hill. And I then put a block shape under the home, and I'd like to copy one of the textures of the home and add it to the block under the home. 

    Thanks.

     

    Abandoning Linden Home: How to Reclaim Furniture / Objects?

    no do not use that button.

    take it up with your mouse, it will be put in the right folder in your inventory again.

    do this instead : right click/take  on every item

    if you use the "return" all will be send to your "lost and found" folder as one cluttered object with a random name from one of the items.

    I'd recommend you go have a look at some starter turorials about building en how things in SL work, most of those primary "skills"  are used several times a day by most residents. The learning curve for sl is pretty steep, don't overrush it :)

    Thanks. 

    I'll do this.

    And what's the simplest way to abandon my home?

    When you say "shape" may as well be deleted you mean the system shape, correct? Not, for instance, the five standard shapes that come with my Maitreya Lara body.

    And as I'm playing with wearing different system shapes, I'm noticing that my face has also changed. So I can change basic system shapes, and I think I've found the right one. But my face still looks different and the system shapes aren't affecting it. (FYI, I have a Lelutka Cate head.)

    EDIT: I figured it out. My Lelutka Cate head has a default basic systems shape, and that's the one I've been using. Thanks for your help everyone.

    Thanks, y'all. That worked.

    But while I went through and made sure I was wearing these four basic items, i managed to change my body shape. My boobs got very large. Sigh.

    So, does that mean I somehow picked the wrong shape? Or skin?

    And, assuming that's what I did, what's the simplest way for me to figure out the four system items that I have been wearing with the body shape I like? (I do have quite a few saved outfits that had been working just fine until I messed things up this morning).

    For music streaming, I use Mixxx (https://mixxx.org). It has an auto-DJ feature if you don't want to actively DJ the music. Currently, I use Blue-Bart for the stream hosting (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/49283)

    Another option would be to use VLC. There is a guide at https://www.howtogeek.com/118075/how-to-stream-videos-and-music-over-the-network-using-vlc/

     

    I have a Mac. Do these options work with Macs?

    Private Dance Room: Streaming Curated Music and Dancing at Home

    Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question.

    I'd like to dedicate a room in my home for group dancing.  Basically, I want a set-up similar to a nightclub with DJ capability, but it will be in my private home.

    What's the best and cheapest way to play curated play lists? A friend told me there's no way to do this without pay for a private server. Is that true?

    Also, I've looked into dance balls a little and know that I can embed them in objects (so I don't have to look at those ugly balls in my home). Suggestions on best models?

    Thanks.

    A Noob Runs Out of Parcel Capacity

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Egonya

    I have one of the free homes that come with a premium account. The "parcel land capacity" is 175.

    After furnishing just a little (bed, sofa, chair, outdoor patio set with plants) I've run out of capacity. I get this error message: "Can't rez object...on parcel 'Seated Woman' in region Waterlow because the parcel is too full."

    The furniture has animations. But other than that I don't understand how I could have tapped my capacity so quickly. Maybe these free homes aren't meant to be fully furnished?

    Is there a way around this?

    Thanks.
