MeshPromo

Hello, I'm looking a scripter to create a simple script that toggle the full transparency between two linked objects, using a dialog menu. How it should work: Two objects link each other. Once click the linked object, the menu comes. There are two buttons in menu. Click button1 makes object1 visible, object 2 get full transparency. vice versa. I need the script as full perm. Please send me a notecard mentioning your fees if you interested. meshpromo resident

There may be somewhat popular mesh bodies that I never heard which lack of cloths yet. (eg: Few years ago Tonic was such a mesh body but now it has a lot cloths). Appreciate any useful information.

I used the primcomposer from that link for 3ds max 2019 and it worked fine.

Hello JoBennes123, it seems that is your first comment in the SL community forum and we welcome you here. 👋 //Charitably, I'll say that it takes about 30 minutes per texture given the extra tasks.// I make 24 "diffuse maps" within 1 hour for my clothes using raw textures available in the SL marketplace by following the above procedure. So, it is not a full-time job. Maybe you said about making raw texture from scratch, then it will take that time but it’s not what I was looking for. Perhaps you didn’t notice the 30% profit sharing method mentioned above. Ie: Once the 30% of the monthly profit of the items they textured, is more than 4000L$, I’ll pay that amount. I can explain more but those who are willing to be hired as a graphic designer, already aware of the SL economy. I’d encourage you to give a try to sell things in the marketplace. SL marketplace is open for everyone in SL who added payment info.

Who we are: MeshPromo is a small store for clothing and cute items that offer the best customer service we can. We are focusing on high-quality, low-LI products at an affordable price. In addition to the owner, there is a scripter working with us on a job-task basis, and there are few friends who work as models. The Job: We are looking for someone who’d be willing to daily create 16 different diffuse maps and a vendor image. This is a long-term job. So it NOT just put the shadow map over some textures, set blending mode, and save, but it’s a more detailed workflow. I put the following job tasks briefing just to give the basic idea so hope it helps to hire the right person. Job tasks in “brief”: Adjust the AO map for the mesh by removing dark borders, then smooth it then set levels. Find suitable textures (one base texture, and different pattern textures) that are relevant to the product. Using photoshop set base texture, put pattern textures as a group over it, then put the adjusted AO map over it in suitable blend modes. Set adjustment layers (levels, hue/saturation, selective color, etc) for each group as clipping marks. Add borders for the clothing edges when needed. If necessary add some texts for clothing like t-shirts etc. Test each texture by uploading from local. Take a photo of the product then make an ad-image for the vendor boards in the inworld store. Email me all the 16 textures and the vendor textures after done. You have to do this daily basis. (If you exactly don’t know something/s mentioned above but are willing to do it, don’t worry I’ll guide you.) Who we looking for: You should willing to follow the above-briefed job tasks. You should have average knowledge and practice of Adobe Photoshop. You should be polite, communicative, and timeliness. Having a Maitreya+Petite avatar and a Bento Mesh head to take photos is an added advantage but if not don’t worry I’ll arrange some friends for modeling. Salary and what we offer: 4000L$ per month. (I know it is not big enough but that is the best I can afford at this time based on our current sales) I can pay the salary on a daily basis if you like that way. Once we make more sales, instead of the fixed salary, I’ll offer 30% of the sales revenue of the products you texturing if that way gives you more L$ than above salary. You’ll get all the products that you texturing in copy+modify permissions for your personal use. Flexible schedule, ie: if you get busy in RL for a while, you could complete that tasks on the following day. You don’t have to pay upload fees. Friendly, professional, and respectful environment. If you want you could join us to explore new places, play board games, do hunting and shopping, etc with my family and friends just to relax from the work stress. (only if you like). Upon completion of the 6 months of work with us, I’ll mail you a “Job Experience Certificate” under my business name. (only if you like). How to apply: If you are interested, please contact me (meshpromo) using a notecard (as my IMs might get capped). Even if you are not interested but have a friend looking for such job, please be kind to forward this to them. Thank you for reading. 💙

I think avaxasher has good potential to be a better dancer as they proved their politeness when the other community members give constructive criticisms. I'm not in the clubbing industry so I can't hire but just letting avaxasher know, there is an adult club called "cage club" that allows "anyone" to dance in their dancing poles. I remember there are few clubs as that. But you'd build a pretty looking avatar, make your profile better as others mentioned, if possible add payment info, and chat in local to get some L$ tips. You can make good quality mash avatar using freebies, but it takes time to find them if you are new to SL.

It is very common practice that selling the same cloth using different textures as different products in the inworld stores in addition to the fatpack. There are some creators who do the same in the SL marketplace too. When I started I did the same but then feels it is difficult to make/send updates as has to do it for dozens of listings at the same time. So I unlisted all the different color textured listings of the same products and combined those as fatpacks. There are pros and cons of that multi-listing practice: Pros for customers: 1. Can buy the cloth with an exact texture wanted, with a lower price than the fatpack. Cons for customers: 1. Marketplace search is full of the same item (but with different textures) so has to spend a lot of time therefore it feels annoying and even other good items might miss during the long search. 2. Makes it hard to find some particular product from a favorite store page, if it is full of the same product in different textures. Pros for merchants: 1. Can use different keywords to be visible in different searches. That makes it more possible for the products to come to the front search page and it might increase the sales. 2. Gain from the "price discrimination". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination Cons for merchants: 1. Some customers might dislike those merchants by thinking of that practice as spamming, so it loses potential customers. 2. As SL marketplace getting full, LL might introduce SEO algorithm that prevents the same products come to the front. 3. It is time-consuming to make updates for the products. 4. When a customer comes to the merchant's store in the marketplace, they have to spend a lot of time to search what they wanted so they might feel bored then leave the store page. That also loses potential customers. 5. If a customer has a very negative thought about the "price discrimination" listing, there would be another reason to get a reduced rating for the product if they wish to rate. Some might think this should be posted in the merchants' forum but I'd like to see what customers think as their opinion is very important, so that's why posted here.

I just checked the Transactions History in Merchants Home page, and mine also same. Some products are still being delivered. https://gyazo.com/60e8cd6f2621b9c2666636bbc552d146 Recently noticed some customers re deliver products and some made double purchases (I refunded them) now I realize the issue. Problem is some new customers might never inform the issue so they simply not purchase any more. Hope LL fix this issue soon.

Hello, some of my marketplace sales confirmation emails delay from an hour to 12 hours. This is happened since weeks ago. I'm using a Gmail address. This isn't a big issue for me so far, so I didn't send a ticket. What I wonder is, as there is some issue going on, there might be more issues involved with this or this might turn into worse as happened a few months ago that preventing all the emails. So just posting here in case if this info is useful for LL tech staff.

I'm using the beta grid for years now. Even yesterday I could login to it. But since yesterday night, I'm getting this error message and can't logging into the beta grid any more. https://i.gyazo.com/9fde9b3729712a3998321e49143e84f7.png I did everything I know to get rid of this issue, such as 1. Entered different location (sim) names in beta grid. 2. Checked the Grid Status website, and it isn't mentioned any beta grid issues at the time. 3. Cleaned the firestorm cache. 4. Logged into the main SecondLife grid and it works (right now I'm in there too), which means my login details, firestorm settings and account status having no issues. 5. Re logged the computer and then tried again. 6. Waited over 12 hours and still getting the same error message when trying to login to the beta grid. 7. Then I sent a ticket too. Just posting here to see if any others had the same issue and if they could able to login to beta grid. Thanks for any help.

Thank you for the clear answer.

I made an updated version of one of my most sold cloth that was originally made a few years ago. Based on the marketplace guidelines, the general practice is to add it to a "new version" folder and activate it. Then it will be available for future customers. But I want, not only to make it available for future customers but also to redeliver to the customers who already bought it, using the new "Schedule redelivery" method. So my questions are, Q1. If I add the updated item to a "new version" folder and use "schedule redelivery", will the new version or the old version deliver to the existing customers? Q2. Also if a customer makes redelivery again, will the old version folder or new versions folder deliver to them? Q3. I can simply delete the outdated items in the active version folder and replace them with the updated items. Is that allowed by LL? Q4. If Q3 is allowed, in case if existing customers make a re-delivery, will they get the updated item? Thanks for the useful replies.

I have two linkset cloth to give as DEMO. If I add demo prim, then there will be three linkset. The problem is when there are more than 2 linksets, the link numbers could be changed at the next usage. Then the HUD won't work properly. As a solution, I'm planning to use a hover text with my store information for the DEMO item. The hover text script, other scripts, and the mesh cloth will be set as "no modify" and "no transfer". My question: Is this a safe method to give DEMOs? Is there any possibility to break this in a genuine way? Thanks for any useful answers.

I just checked the SLMP while reading the comments.

Thank You. I'll look there as soon as logged to SL.

@Aquila Kytori thanks for the excellent idea. I used to work with 3ds max so didn't know about this. It seems blender has more powerful features.

OK will put it in there too. I was confused because this could be either "wanted" or "land related" sections. Because it is a very less laggy and stable option we can use instead using security orbs. Besides in single full sims no one has to fly over the sky. Also there are some estates that allows it so I'm looking such estate. Thanks for replies.

This dress is quardrified. Due to the 45 degree bend it gives broken look due to smoothness shadows. See in the center when connected the vertices diagonally it looks smooth. So I'm looking a way to select the vertices diagonally when select the start and end vertices. But can't find a way for it so far. (Earlier I manually connected them but it consumes a way more time). Does anyone know how to easily do it using 3ds max or blender. Thanks for any useful help.

Please read only if you rent out lands. (just to save your time). I'm using my current land over an year. It is 1024sqm, in private full sim, allow to build in sky, and weekly rental is 182L$. Only problem is the ban-lines are disabled by the sim settings and sim owner don't allow it. So I'm looking a land with following features for residential purpose. - It should be 1024 sqm - weekly rental should be less than 200L$ - Ban lines must be allowed. - should have full parcel rights (except no need terraforming). - should allow to build in sky (I'll have personal sandbox in sky for my cloth build works just to stay lag free). If your package is similar to that pls send me a notecard. I'll go for the cheapest rate if got multiple offers. Thanks for reading.

Still its a huge struggle to log into the beta grid. Most of the time I have to try multiple times and spend over 10 minutes to log in. The error message says my internet connection may be an issue but I can log into main grid very quickly.

May be disable the redelivery feature for DEMOs.

Thanks for the new update. I asked about this weeks ago as sending too much personal messages to redeliver auto flag as spam. Now the problem solved. It would be great if we can add redelivery message too, at least it print in their local IM chat. So the customers will see it. But right now I just added a notecard as "new update" with the relevant info.

Update: From today, there is a "schedule redelivery" button in merchant's page. It seems we can bulk redelivery now.

Deleted. Seems I asked irrelevant thing, so deleting this to prevent disturbing to OP's post.

Seems the title explains it. Thanks in advance for any useful replies.
