feeling too unwell to actually create npc models - so poor koishi is trapped in the cardboard cutout realm until i feel better

amazing patch note out of context as for my own two cents ; got the body a bit late after seeing someone in a discord server im in post pics of an avatar with a chubby bodytype and when i asked they told me it was reborn, it was instant after that lol. finally..... a body that can appear chubby (not just curvy) that has clothing support Q__Q my linden wallet is about to cry once i get to this round of K9 because there's so many cute things for reborn there

im here to complain about scripting again i spend an hour rewriting a bit wondering why it doesnt work as a desperate last stand, i change the < to a > and poof! it works PERFECTLY i was CONVINCED i was using the right one for the situation but nooooooo... even with the whole crocodile analogy i can never remember which is which so the ONE TIME i dont use reference i mix them up : p oh also! medical wait times is a new one, never was this bad where i used to live but also covid is like 10x worse here and causing the whole system to implode

new avatar/character i've been itching to rp but also my sleep schedule Prevents me

being nocturnal :{ i found an rp sim that i've been interested in playing a character at but everyone is asleep when im awake 😭 this isnt specific either . every single rp sim that interests me is very quiet at night but i see people discussing during the day so im like... wistfully staring out the window (the window being my awful sleep schedule)

i found an amazing building to replace one i'd been using! problem is a) previous building has lots of stuff surrounding it b) new building is HUGE ...this is gonna take a while 8D so i guess i'm gonna be spending a few hours putting that into place lol but hey better to be productive late at night considering food poisoning took me out most of the day

posting to say this is solved! i asked support and the answer is all the objects will remain in place :}

i feel like i shouldve worded different, using 'converted' instead. but it's a homestead that's been upgraded / converted to a full 20k region

i've been thinking about upgrading a homestead to get more space, but also i really, really do not want to redecorate. i read through the knowledge base articles and maybe it's just late and i missed it, but i couldn't find mention of whether or not all the objects in the homestead being upgraded would be returned/deleted or not. does anyone know if they're returned, or if they'll stay? edit: objects will stay in place! asked support per posters reccomendation

I was originally going to post this yesterday but all the event stuff tired me out @w@ But! The October event - Necrophobia - is live! Instead of a hunt, it's a small trick or treat 'minigame' and a boss battle! Again it's free to participate in and runs until the end of October! And you can fight the boss co-op style, if you want :} Information can be found by clicking the poster either at the RP center or at the landing! Or just look at the event blog here. The ground level has changed seasons as well! This will stay until December. Second update! Old underworld / snowy level has been completely redone and it's very pretty now! I think it is at least. This is just a small snippet of it, so if you're itching for that winter vibe early you can find it through the giant hole in the ground just to the side of the hill the shrine is on. The upgrade was done by resident Annabell Wandsworth , and she's open for this kind of work if you're the type who's interested! Animal realm has also had some minor touchups, so the construction forecast should be clear! Now that event stuff is out of the way I can get to properly working on planned updates, like more sidequests and NPC battle encounters!

THAT WORKED!! thank you so much :'D!!!

i tried, and it fires correctly when facing east or west. but when facing north or south, it still rotates with the long side swinging, instead of the 'propeller' like motion. the script had been removed aswell

this is the exact script i use for the actual laser (not the trigger/rezzer), not including the llDie and temp flags, taken from the wiki except with axis changed - yet each time i call for the laser, the direction it spins in is different despite it being set up separately and rotating the way i want it to in its original, non hud rezzed version //Rotates very slowly around a cylinder's local or global Z axis // .... Good for making a propeller that rotates regardless of initial orientation. default { state_entry() { llTargetOmega(llRot2Left(llGetLocalRot()), PI, 1.0); } }

these in tandem worked perfectly, thank you so much!! i can now shoot giant rainbow lasers at will == unrelated, while it DOES work now, it looks a little stale - i had originally planned to make it rotate around this way (see image), but using the examples of the wiki for llTargetOmega , it will end up spinning fine at some angles but wildly in the incorrect direction at others (blender pic because im not inworld atm) (i do know of texture animation, and the rainbow is actually animated in that fashion, but using llTargetOmega gave it a nice 'wobble' when i was putting it together)

figured i'd finally ask instead of trying to figure it out myself because im Tired i want to make a laser (mesh temp phantom vfx object) rez in front of the avatar, facing in the shooting direction, on command. i have the 'on command' part figured out already, but can't for the life of me get it in proper position and rotation. for clarification, i want the laser to shoot forwards in the direction the avatar is facing. so if my avatar is facing left, i'd assume i'd call for the z axis rotation and have the laser be rotated in that direction to match? but i can't really seem to figure it out the other problem is position, as the laser will rez in at the laser object's root. i'm... not quite sure how to offset it to it rezzes at the start of the laser facing the direction i want hopefully that makes sense!

totally unrelated to ongoing conversation but just my 2 cents; i browse the secondlife tag on twitter frequently, as creators will post very cool things there! but, also... you get crypto dudebros talking about the 'metaverse' being the 'second coming' of SL , and that's kind of what i fear. idk. i'm generally in the boat of 'thinks crypto is dumb' for a multitude of reasons, and the cryptobro's idea of the metaverse seems so... bleached. in a palatable to silicon valley way. it feels soulless. lucia put it wonderfully imo i love SL for what it is. the only limit is your imagination and skillset (and... wallet depth in many cases >>;;), and it doesn't matter who you are - you can create things as long as you have the will. this idea of the metaverse feels very 'corporate', if that makes sense. like dont get me wrong, i LOVE virtual worlds and experiences, it's been a huge interest since i was a kid. i'd love for more people to find out about secondlife and what you can do in it... i just don't want SL to become watered down as a result.

in prep for this i converted one of my battle encounters into a holdable plushie :0 which was a 10/10 decision he's just a little guy excited to see what other kinds of goodies others who chose the ~fancy~ option include at their places :0! and explore in general, the date the first list drops is the day im finally free from crunching stuff

we cool to self advertise now? Welcome to the land of fantasy! GensoSL is a tribute project to a certain well-loved anime shoot-em-up, that's kind of sort of evolved into my experimental game building project. Its general purpose was to combine my love of the series it's based on, as well as be a space that includes what I love to see most in SL - those being solo explorative opportunities and interactive elements. General theme is fantasy Japan / anime aesthetics, but any avatars are welcome to explore! Just note the region is M rated, so like, wear clothes at least? What is there to do? There's exploring across 2 regions with multiple levels, but the region also utilizes a HUD system that allows for more game-like RPG elements, like scripted quests and NPC enemy encounters. The implementation of the system is still fairly recent, but it's quickly being expanded upon as I learn more every day! Though of course, it's entirely optional, so if you'd just like to walk around and look at the environment, that's totally ok too! Additionally, every 2 months, GensoSL holds 'story events' that are essentially just glorified scavenger hunts / minigames with exclusive item prize(s)! While the HUD system does have player interaction and RP tools, you're not obligated to RP in any way - just slap on an OOC tag! People mostly visit to explore on their own or just chill, so the RP environment is very very casual. All 'minigames' and rewards will be free to participate in and receive forever - they simply require you have the HUD attached. The region is in a constant state of change, with more being added and improved upon, even if it's just under the hood technical stuff. That being said, while the region has an update Discord that can be joined via links inworld, I understand not everyone is familiar with Discord, and will try to showcase major updates in this thread. Construction forecast: The old underworld / snowy level - actively undergoing a facelift! please wait warmly The animal realm / cyberpunk level - needs TLC, to be facelifted soon General... interior decorating of filler houses If you'd like to give a visit, here's the SLURL! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gensokyo/117/142/2832 it's pretty quiet most of the day but i don't mind cuz i did intend for it to be a quiet place to explore on your own or with a small group : p

i felt it would be funny to show what my platform looks like with a story event scheduled to launch in one week it's... getting a bit crowded up here >>;; the snowbunnies in the bottom left are there despite me not needing them anymore (they were originally dummies for an npc battle script) so they just live there now

at any time im listening to a desire drive mix

guess ill join since ive never really gotten a pic of my setup before 8D pic sucks cuz my phone is old and barely functioning (i havent replaced it because at least it has a headphone jack :V) i wanna add more stickers to my tower...... funfact, the barbie on the left is a gift from my grandma! so she gets to hang out on the desk

my computer does not enjoy taking 5k screenshots
