I've watched dozens of tutorials and they're all extremely confusing when it comes to baking textures in Blender. I'm making a choker atm in Blender and I'm looking for a good tutorial, preferably step by step since I'm a newbie, on getting realistic lighting and shading on a leather texture. I'm mostly confused about the UV unwrapping part.

Yes pretty sure McDonald's or Walmart is hiring and fits both of your requirements.

Seriously who gifts demos? Just link your friend the MP link to get the demo themselves? That's like packing one of those food samples at Costco and mailing that to your friend. That's not what a gift is. Idk if I'm in the minority here but I'd be pretty damn embarrassed if my friend/partner got a gift notification from me and turned out I mailed them a frickin demo.

Solution: put a "last log in date" next to the merchant's name in the product page. Problem solved. Of course there might be alts that act as store owners and for some reason the creator might decide to never log the alt, but this is an extremely rare edge case. I mean if you're gonna keep all your physical inventory on one alt, why wouldn't you log them on? Sometimes creators leave SL and actually leave a msg on the product page saying something along the lines of "you will receive zero customer service even if items defective, account inactive, but I'm gonna keep all my stuff full price anyways so have fun buying them" which I find just hilarious. I guess since LL doesn't charge monthly fee to list your items, easy way for them to keep a steady source of spare change while investing zero time or effort other than maybe selling lindens once a full moon.

That's exactly what I did in my review. And they flagged it, and LL removed it. They definitely did this on purpose because nothing else would explain that script that was left inside. If they didn't do it on purpose they would've responded to the 3+ notecards/IM's I sent and the box would'be been either completely empty, or contained a LM or something.

I got scammed on marketplace after making the payment (not gacha reseller item) and getting an empty box with a script in it that essentially sums down to these words, "haha f you". So I left a negative review for this scam warning others to not buy this and the "seller" (if they can even be called that) promptly flagged my review and somehow got LL to remove it. Of course being a shady person like this there was no way I'm getting a refund from them. Thankfully it wasn't an expensive item so I'm not going to waste more brain cells on this, but I'd like to know what is LL's objective in defending people like this and screwing paying players? This is part of the ToS? The seller can do whatever they want with zero repercussions and the buyer is completely at their mercy in terms of the item they receive?

You're entitled to buying stuff that other people think aren't valid commodities, I'm entitled to my own opinions for thinking people are idiots for buying them. End of story. I think selling physics is about as dumb as selling bottled air (https://vitalityair.com/ if you don't know what that is). Don't agree or feel butthurt? Feel free to ignore my message, I'm not gonna lose sleep over someone disagreeing with my opinions, just like I couldn't care less what people do with their $L's, I'm free to state my opinion. Also, kids playing in traffic? Lol. Try harder next time cause that insult might not even work for a 6 yr old.

People actually sell physics, which anyone with half a brain can make in like <60sec. Now that I find funny. Next people should be selling landmarks too. Shapes? Personally I never buy shapes, but at least they take slightly more effort to make, I guess? What's the point of even playing SL if you can't be bothered to spend some time making your own look? I also find it funny people try to sell shapes without demos. Like yeah sure I'll spend 500L on a shape based on one picture, totally can picture what it'll look like with my skin or if the ad was photoshopped in any way. 🙄

No demo = no confidence on your products worrying people won't buy it due to how bad the demo is + relying on tricking newbies into buying your crap. End of story. There are zero excuses. You spend hours or days in Photoshop painting your skin but can't be bothered to spend 2min slapping a demo watermark on it and exporting the png? Save me the bull. Any excuse attempting to justify this, just refer to the first sentence.

I'm packing rarely-used clothing and textures into boxes to save inventory space. I get this annoying "inventory creation in-world failed" whenever I try to drag more than ~20 into the box at the time, which is not helpful at all because I don't know which items failed to create, so I have drag everything again and then spend time deleting the duplicates. Doing it ~15 items at once, then waiting like ~20sec for SL catch its breath to reload the inventory in the box (cause rapidly dragging in ~15 items at a time before it finishes "reloading" will also throw that error), is painfully slow cause I have a huge inventory, is there any way around this? Some script that can automate this maybe?

Really smart idea. Will try it out.

It's funny when you politely contact a creator MULTIPLE times via both notecard and IM regarding a defective product, they completely ignore you (despite being online on multiple occasions), so you leave a negative review, then they flag your review and get LL to remove it. This type of BS happens all too often.

I mean this is pretty much proof that the people behind it really couldn't care less that their reputation is in the gutters after the TMP fiasco, and is completely ready to do the exact same thing. Long story short they basically slightly tweaked the breast shape of their Legacy body and is now re-releasing it as a complete standalone product. Any other mesh body creator, especially Maitreya, would release it as a free update (and they already did, free 3x HP nipple shapes + bunch of other enhancements in last update) or a very cheap upgrade price like 500L or something, especially considering Legacy already costs 2-3x as any other body, but nope, that'll be another 5000L please if you want "updated breast shape". What's next? Slightly smoother shoulders for another 5000L? 10% thinner waist, another 5000L please. Pregnant shape... oh wait they already have this for another 5000L. 🙄 No I'm not some shill for other body creators. I just find this hilarious and wonder how and why people would defend this.

Not gonna name the product in question for obvious reasons but I just noticed that within the span of a week a couple of negative reviews on a certain "popular" high-priced product have all be removed. Obviously the seller is butthurt and flagging all of them to LL, but it's sad and pathetic that LL is actually actively removing them as well. None of the reviews including my own broke any of the "rules" stickied at the top by the linden (since I was actually interested enough in reading all of them), they were all objective and listing major flaws and poor design choices of the product. But apparently if your product is "popular" and generating a lot of revenue for LL it's perfectly fine to have a linden watchdog make sure you product stays perfectly 5 stars for all time. Then we have the other end of the spectrum where underrated products are getting rated 1-star by idiots who don't know how SL works and leaving BS like "why I only got a box? I bought heels!!", and those reviews are there to stay.

It's not multiple instances of "button1" on the HUD, it's multiple instances of it in the notecard: button1,1 button1,2 button2,3 button2,4 button3,5 button4,6 button4,7 The HUD would be something like: [button1] [button2] [button3] [button4] Obviously a simplified example as my config notecard won't just have integers, but if I click on "button1" in the HUD I'd want to return: 1 2

Issue with that is there are multiple occurrences of "button1" (for example), and I think llListFindList would only find the first occurrence? Wouldn't this only return "1", instead of "1" and "2"? I'd need to somehow combine the line-by-line parsing: myList += [data]; notecardQueryId = llGetNotecardLine(configurationNotecardName, ++Line); with the lookup part: integer idx = llListFindList( [ button1, button2, button3, button4 ], [ llDetectedLinkNumber(0) ] ); because I assume myList would end up looking like this: ["button1,1","button1,2","button2,3","button2,4","button3,5","button4,6","button4,7"] so that it would only stop looping once it no longer finds any "button1" in the list anymore. This is why I wanted to combine the notecard parsing part with the listen event so that: 1. Get the name of the button that we clicked on the hud, which is a separate object, through listen event, since the hud simply uses llSay(9999,buttonclicked) 2. Start parsing notecard line by line. Add each line of notecard to a list myList 3. If buttonclicked == myList[0], do something 4. Move onto next line and repeat steps 2-4 but I wasn't sure how to get dataserver inside a listen event cause it should only start reading the notecard after we receive the buttonclicked from listen event.

But what's the best way to compile the notecard into a list if there are multiple lines in the notecard? Wouldn't I need a separate list for every single line in the notecard? For example if my notecard looked like this, I'd need 7 lists to store it, then do a lookup against index 0 of each list for the "button" name? button1,1 button1,2 button2,3 button2,4 button3,5 button4,6 button4,7

Hi, I'm trying to write a notecard config reader that responds to the user's clicks on a HUD (like a sound board), but stuck on the part on how to combine a listen event (for the hud click) with looping through every line on the notecard. This is what I have so far: key gOwnerKey = NULL_KEY; string configurationNotecardName = "config"; key notecardQueryId; integer line; string button; string message; init() { line = 0; notecardQueryId = llGetNotecardLine(configurationNotecardName, line); } processConfiguration(string data) { if(data == EOF) { return; } if(data != "") { // if the line does not begin with a comment if(llSubStringIndex(data, "#") != 0) { // find first delimiter sign integer i = llSubStringIndex(data, ","); // if line contains delimiter sign if(i != -1) { list parsedLine = llParseString2List(data,[","],[]); button = llList2String(parsedLine,0); //set "button" to the line in the notecard message = llList2String(parsedLine,1); //set "message" to the line in the notecard } } } // read the next line notecardQueryId = llGetNotecardLine(configurationNotecardName, ++line); } default { state_entry() { gOwnerKey = llGetOwner(); integer channel_dialog = 9999; llListen(channel_dialog, "", NULL_KEY, ""); } listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg) //listen for a hud click on channel 9999 { list hudclick = llParseString2List(msg, ["|"],[]); string name = llList2String(hudclick,1); //name of button clicked on hud string desc = llList2String(hudclick,2); //desc of button clicked on hud init(); //begin notecard reading if(llGetListLength(hudclick)>1) { key HUDowner = llList2Key(hudclick,0); if(HUDowner == gOwnerKey) { if (name == button) //if what you clicked on the hud matches with "button" value in notecard { llOwnerSay(message); } //repeat for every notecard line ... } } } dataserver(key request_id, string data) { if(request_id == notecardQueryId) processConfiguration(data); } } Sample config notecard: ========================== NOTECARD SAMPLE ========================== button1,It's sunny today button1,Let's head outside button2,It's raining today button2,Let's stay inside #so if you click "button1" on HUD it should result in #llOwnerSay("It's sunny today"); #llOwnerSay("Let's head outside"); Thanks.

Unfortunately most people in SL are content with locked down systems like this and have zero interest (or simply don't have the technical capability) in any DIY customization or "truly" owning what you just spent 5000L on, they're fine with just buying whatever's fed to them. That's why Legacy's able to get away it. I have friends who are so tech-illiterate they don't even know how an applier works (other than attach + click on it), or how these "layers" work on bodies/faces, or how to do basic object editing (scale, tint, materials, removing/adding scripts, etc). I think some still use store-bought shapes because they have no idea how to edit a shape. I think Legacy's basically trying to be the "Apple" of SL, dumbing and locking everything down for the average idiot to use, and removing any inch of customization. Too bad there's no jailbreak for it.

Not saying Maitreya looks the best but it deserves people's loyalty solely due to the fact the updates, although rare, are always awesome, and the sheer simplicity of DIY customization which is a must-have for anyone even remotely interested in truly owning the products you bought. Latest updates brought FREE dedicated nipple meshes making them look 10x better, revamped HUD with a lot more customization, BoM, and revamped layering system. It also has the BEST dev kit support, with the ability to easily apply your own skins, materials and makeup at will unlike some other creators where any customization is locked down tighter than a nun's you-know-what *cough*Legacy*cough* and if their "servers" go poof you can kiss all your purchased skins/makeups/materials goodbye (I'm sure they'd lock down your shape to only "pre-approved" ones if they could).

Can anyone confirm if you're able to make your own cosmetic tattoos as well as specular/normal map appliers for Legacy body and Genus heads? I know Legacy body is locked down super tight which is really controversial but is there virtually no DIY support for it? I don't expect there to be a skin kit for it considering how locked down they are and BoM makes skin appliers obsolete anyways, but anyone with basic Photoshop skills can make something like a blush/eyeshadow or specular/normal map. I'm not able to find much info on Genus heads either considering the demo doesn't really provide much info on developer kits. That completely backwards server-based HUD that Legacy uses as well as TMP's shady history used to be a dealbreaker but I'm willing to overlook it if it has a basic level of DIY-support, but if it doesn't even have that then it's really difficult finding a reason to buy this body that costs 2x as much as competitors.

Blacklisting does not prevent the initial trigger when you land on a sim you've never been to before There's not just a handful of sims doing this. When you sim hop when shopping you're bound to come across new stores doing this You can block group invite popups? I have to look into this, that might solve the problem. Still this kind of thing should not be allowed to start with.

Spamming an invite as soon as people land to your paid group is kinda desperate and pathetic. There are also people who put an inviter scripts to boxed items that trigger when you try to unbox, smh. Tbh sooner or later people will accidentally click "accept" instead of "decline" or "ignore". This should be banned. In fact, why is it not banned yet? I even consider it similar to phishing. One accidental click then poof, your 500L is gone.

All truth hair are now no-mod, check the notecard in the demo, it's probably also written in the guy's profile All Ayashi hair are no mod though they used to be 1-2 years ago, it's written in huge font right on every single ad (NO MOD NO TRANS) I bought a hair from Mina just a month ago, and it's no mod. I'm not sure if this is a mistake or not however I'm pretty sure Sintiklia hair are no mod because it says so in the demo notecard, and probably the ad itself as well iirc

Nvm found it.
