  1. this is a interesting question. Is there anything that can't be done in LSL ?
  2. i have the same thought. If I want to do something then I turn it on. My default for all the things I am not doing is off
  3. another way to help with this is when we know the time length of the animation when so then we can script our timer to the length of the animation, play the animation, then on change to next animation we read the length of the next animation and set our timer accordingly i mostly do this with dance animations which can be of various lengths (most of the major dance animation makers put the length in the description field) and because I don't care to mess about with notecards then I rename the animation to include the length. Example script showing the basics of playing variable length animations integer number_of_animations; string this_animation; default { attach(key id) { if (id) // is attached so get permissions llGetPermissions(id, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION); else // has been detached, so stop this_animation and timer if playing { if ((llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) && (this_animation != "")) { llSetTimerEvent(0.0); llStopAnimation(this_animation); } } } run_time_permissions(integer perms) { if (perms & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) { number_of_animations = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_ANIMATION); if (number_of_animations) // more than none { // pick a random animation to play integer random = (integer)llFrand(number_of_animations); this_animation = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ANIMATION, random); // animation name is something like // dance1 #23.7 // dance2 #27.5 // dance3 #18.0 // etc. where the length of the animation follows the # character // we parse the length out from the 2nd element of a list float length = llList2Float(llParseString2List(this_animation, ["#", ""]), 1); if (length <= 0.0) length = 30.0; // set to 30 seconds when no length found in name // start the animation, and start the timer llStartAnimation(this_animation); llSetTimerEvent(length); } } } timer() { // here we get the next random animation integer random = (integer)llFrand(number_of_animations); string next_animation = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ANIMATION, random); // when next_animation is not the same as this_animation then change, else we going to play the same animation again if(next_animation != this_animation) { float length = llList2Float(llParseString2List(next_animation, ["#", ""]), 1); if (length <= 0.0) length = 30.0; // set to 30 seconds when no length found in name llStartAnimation(next_animation); // start the next/new animation llStopAnimation(this_animation); //stop the previous/old animation this_animation = next_animation; // make this_animation be next_animation llSetTimerEvent(length); // play timer for the length of the now this_animation } } }
  4. i sometimes wonder how a new region of 10,000 LI would go ? Available for anyone to buy. Tier about 179 - 184 ?
  5. i haven't played Linden Realms in ages. When I used to play then Linden frowned on 'speeding' and 'blocking'. Blocking is where a person stands in such a position on the arena to prevent higher value crystals from rezzing, waiting for all other players to leave the area then moving, which unblocks the crystals and they will rez am not saying you are doing any of these deliberately. But sometimes we kinda don't know that we don't know, or we just forget. Like for example my Oracul AO has a built-in jump enhancer. I can jump about twice as high and long as a standard avatar. And sometimes when I used to play I would forget to turn off the jump enhancer, which would get me into trouble .
  6. file an Abuse Report ticket. Tell what you know if the person does attempt to trick Linden Support into giving them access to your account (impersonation) then there will be a prior written record about the intent
  7. we can sell game tokens for L$. What we can't do is cash the tokens back into L$, with the exception that we can refund the token for L$ back to the person who bought the token. We can't 'refund' a token to another player the refund mechanism is the same as refunding a customer who bought say a dress
  8. i don't know that avatar i wonder tho if the Cat Anim/Camera Enhancer moves your avatar faster than standard avatar speed, or can jump higher than standard jump
  9. have a look at Oracul on Kuso region inworld in their AOs are animations for crouch walk. Go on the display stands to try them out. The animations can be bought separately
  10. another way to do a secret door is to not have touch to open on the door prim have a ornament/dial/lever/key as the root prim off to the side somewhere. The linked door prim set to CLICK_ACTION_DISABLED
  11. same i don't block anyone, just scroll on by when I am not in the mood to read it. Sometimes I can go back and read it another time, but that also depends on what kind of mood I am in is the same with whole threads. I usually read OPs tho. If I think I don't have anything to contribute or can learn something new from then I just go on to the next OP
  12. with Linden viewer then all our accounts share the same cache, so that could be a sign
  13. i am on the Linden viewer and the only con I have had with clearing cache is that things can be all gray for a little bit longer til all your outfits and home textures download again
  14. sometimes on some rare occasion it can be some kinda cache corruption. It hasn't happened to me for quite awhile but sometimes my textures get all mixed up on my screen. The funniest looking is when my avatar skin texture gets painted on the sky 😺 i found that clearing my cache fixed it for me
  15. just note that the banhammer is not about empathy, is about enforcing morality morality meaning that which is defined as acceptable behaviour in the Linden Community Standards section of the ToS
  16. this is true a musician who had had some success in their life in the RL, came to SL and played music that I liked. Mostly sets from the late 90s and 00s - grunge and numetal influenced rock, with the odd cover of 80s classics, while also playing their own music from their band career, many songs of which I knew. I pretty much went to every concert that they performed in SL. Was great ! often when there was no following musician booked in the next slot then they would just keep playing. Sometimes would play for 4 or 5 hours when they and us the audience were really getting into it late into the wee hours (the musician is in the same time zone as me) They would usually be last on the roster in the 9-11pm slot and would sometimes still be playing at 2am. Totally into it, same all of us present then as the weeks grew into months the musician changed their set in response to the requests from the SL audience. Much more covers from the 80s. I was understanding of why this was. The SL population tends to skew older a thing about older people when we see them at a concert or in front of the stage in a pub/club, totally into it and the band is playing the songs of their youth then they are often euphorically transported/transcended in the experience. In their minds to some degree they are 17 or 18 again, at least during those fleeting euphoric moments in their otherwise sober grownup lives. And when the band stops playing and the lights come on then they come out of the experience happy and still a little bit euphoric musicians who play for live audiences understand euphoria. And in that state we (the audience) don't particularly care about the quality of the sound or equipment, or the competency of the person on the sound desk or the technical capability of the musician. We are into the music that transcends us music of our youth. One of the most euphoric music experiences for me is the band Rage Against The Machine. I first heard this band when I was 15. Now today I am still transcended when I hear them here is RATMs first concert ever. A band nobody had ever heard of at the time 1991. At a festival, where everybody starts, on a back stage. Terrible sound, terrible setup and not all that great technically musicianship wise. At the beginning of their set an audience of two. Many people just walking past not interested. Every musician who has ever played a backstage knows what this is like. As the set progresses tho people start to stop and listen and start getting into it. Despite all the terrible, there is something euphoric in what is being played, in what is happening eight years later, total euphoria for 1000s and 1000s of people
  17. my observation of USA people is that individually they have a sense of fairness that manifests itself in ways that doesn't always manifest itself in the same way that it does in other peoples individually USA people rate in many surveys as amongst the most charitable and helpful people in the world. For example, the World Giving Index over the last decade gives USA people 72% for helping a stranger, 61% for giving a charitable donation, and 42% for volunteering their time to an organisation. Which puts the USA ahead of all other peoples of the world on aggregate this sense of fairness manifests itself in other ways also. Like in some USA children's sports there is a winning margin rule. In junior american football for example, when a team gets to 30 points ahead of the opposition team then the game is stopped. The ethos is that it is not fair to the weaker team to keep on playing as it serves no useful purpose. The better team (winner) has already been established, and if the game continues then it can breed arrogance in the better team players and demoralise the weaker team players which can lead them to drop out of the sport. There is a hint of noblesse oblige in this ethos. With great power comes great responsibility toward those less fortunate which makes a certain sense when we are a great power, which the USA collectively is. This collective understanding of power and privilege being a result of how individuals apply this to themselves in their everyday lives. This is not to say that the USA is perfect, no nation is. Is just to say that is my observation USA people have an awareness of their own power and privilege both collectively and individually and are mindful of the effect of this on themselves and others maybe more basically. People within powerful collectives and who individually are helpful, charitable and generous are less inclined to grumble/complain about their personal circumstances within the center of power that their collective (nation) provides
  18. LDPW have made a similar-ish game called Tyrah and the Curse of the Magical Glytches is a grid-wide game, the glyches can be captured on quite a lot of Linden public-access parcels across the world link here: https://secondlife.com/destination/tyrah-glytches
  19. i like how you made the the vid the story is a bit o.m.g! tho 😺
  20. pretty much yes at best, I think that any C# libraries that Linden did surface would all be done thru a Linden API (to keep the sandbox safe). We wouldn't be able to access any non-sandbox libraries of our own design/choice (external to the Linden API) syntax-wise I would quite like to use dot notation to access prim properties, but yes is just sugar really a thing I could see as being really useful is if we could write classes. I can see how with classes we could much more easily map linked prims to a hierachy for puppeteering purposes
  21. i think the response to the US taxes has been muted for the reason that Linden has been passing on the VAT cost to europeans for quite some time, and more recently GST to australians. So the feeling from some (if not many) US people is oh! well, was good while it lasted given the tax doesn't apply to L$ purchase, only to tier and premium, i think it might have some effect on US people switching from mainland tier ownership to renting as some european posters (subject to VAT) have mentioned , they switched from paying tier to renting mainland i dunno tho how many US people do rent mainland now, or might switch to renting for it to make any substantial difference to any one landlord when viewing landlords individually
  22. do it on 'down' (mouse_down) if ((down & CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON) && (action == "throw")) a fyi. As wrote 'down' = mouse_down 'pressed' = mouse_press 'released' = mouse_up
  23. linking to websites is a legit function of SL we can tho Abuse Report a inworld device that links to a website that would breach the ToS. Like for example a website that phishes for our SL login details. In which case Linden would typically remove the device and have a word to the device owner
