Maybe replace the gatcha machines with skill games that are pay-to-play? They could award the "gatcha merchandise" as prizes for winning certain goals

I have been looking for digitigrade foot-paws or legs for my lioness avatar. After getting and testing several demos, I chose the Caboodle Big Cat legs. They are nice but making a texture to match my lioness avi is a huge pain. The Apricot Paws Feety Peets are BoM, but even the digi version is too much like human feet, especially the heels, which are too prominent. Also, the length, from ankle to toes is too short. (see attached pics for comparison) Some one I met claims there are digi legs that are BoM. But I don't see how that can work because the digi legs (both the original and the Caboodle Big Cat) require an alpha from the knees down, so the composited BoM texture will be transparent from the knees down.[1] Even after explaining that, he insists there are such legs. The name he gave me is "draconis". I searched but didn't find anything useful. Maybe my "search foo" is lacking. So, do BoM, digi, feline legs, like the Caboodle Big Cat legs, exist? Who makes them? [1] Maybe the narrow band between the ankle and the foot attachment point could be mapped to the lower leg, but I think it would be stretched too much.

The mapping for DDJ-400 that comes with 2.3 probably will work with 2.2.4 (and older). Most new controller mappings are initially community developed and it looks like the for started that way. There are files for it at https://github.com/WarkerAnhaltRanger/mixxx/blob/master/res/controllers/Pioneer-DDJ-SB-scripts.js and https://github.com/WarkerAnhaltRanger/mixxx/blob/master/res/controllers/Pioneer-DDJ-400.midi.xml You will need touse the "Raw" button to download the files in a usable form.

Ya posted as I was typin. Scripting a non-physical object might actually be less of a server load. And it gives ya more control.

Unlike RL, in SL, the drag model is uniform. So, a "physical" object will fall straight down, unless ya apply a force or impulse that isn't vertical.

Yes, both Mixxx and VLC have Mac OSX support.

I used fake ground where I could lower the land enough to not raise the result - or where raising the result made sense. That still leaves parts where things could have gone under the land if not for the limit on teleporting avatars. As I said, I understand why the limits on terraforming - both by LL and by private estate owners. And the same reasoning applies to using fake land. While limits on terraforming in SL do parallel RL limits on digging holes in one's own yard, access to space under SL land has no RL parallel. There is no infrastructure or "features of nature" (examples: aquifers, bedrock, fault lines, etc) under SL land. And when the current owner/tenant vacates, any objects under the land are just as easy to clear out as objects far above the land and on the land. So, what more do I need to make a strong enough case to even consider submitting a feature change request?

I understand why the terraforming limits are in place. Sometimes exceptions can be negotiated for important enough tenants. Which is why the idea of having access to under the land makes sense. And under the land could include submerged structures, for example, Nemo's underwater base as on display in Arcardia Asylum. It makes at least as much sense as skyboxes do and provides an opportunity to get some of those skyboxes out of the sky. Sure, some things belong in the sky, like sky stations and "space" stations. And I know there are, and will be, sims stacked full of skybox rentals. So, again,why not allow access to the space under the ground?

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've seen skyboxes and read complaints about them. Can't say I disagree about the complaints. Some things make sense in the sky. Others are needless clutter. I had a thought about putting one underground. While getting the box underground is possible, no way to get an avatar to it. All the various ways to teleport an avatar won't port the avatar below ground level. Some will ask why not just terraform the ground. I've done that, but the estate settings limit how much I can do (a group I'm in owns land). And, anyone renting land isn't going to have that option. So, why not allow access to the space under the ground?
