  1. Oh really? I just assumed it wouldn't let me and didn't even try. Thank you!
  2. I tried to register an alt account using my Proton Mail email address and it was not allowed. The error message is not helpful but I dug into it in my browser... Looking at response body of the XHR request posted by the sign-up form `@proton.me` is apparently classed as "low trust" and my address is flagged as a disposable email address (it's not, I've had it for a while). My main account uses a Yahoo email address. I am not able to register another account with Yahoo because each one requires verification using a different mobile number. Is there a Policy document that lists email services not permitted by Second Life? Are there any other free email providers recommended?
  3. The Apple M1’s performance is actually pretty great for Second Life considering SL is developed for x86 architecture so it’s running through Rosetta 2 (application compatibility layer). I’m getting very decent frame rates with graphics set to ultra, depending on how busy the region is. Less performant than a top-end gaming PC with RTX GPU but this is just my work computer! The (solved) problem in this thread did not relate to the M1 / ARM processor.
  4. I saw the issue tracker and it makes sense but I think the partial XML export would be too complicated for many people. Without breaking the legacy process they could add a new button to the Edit Shape dialog: 'Apply shape from inventory'. Then you could be prompted to select or drag in a shape from your inventory (similar to how you do with Replace Links). Then there would be an apply step: Apply shape to: [x] body, [x] head, [x] eyes / (etc... ) / [x] legs. You would then de-select the ones you don't want to change and click Apply.The de-selected ones would be unchanged. This would be pretty simple and surely is possible. But yes it did seem like the Lindens didn't understand the need for it. Anyone who bought a new mesh head lately understands :D
  5. Thanks. I have used only Mainland up till now which is why I was confused. I totally get it now, thanks a lot!
  6. OK thanks, that makes sense. It just seems confusing that you have the same 'Buy' button even though you are effectively renting. And I guess even though you bought it they can forcibly take it back off you any time right? Also if I am not mistaken it seems that you pay tier to the region owner out of your L$ balance, instead of paying Linden Lab in $US as part of your monthly payments on your SL account. So I would not need a premium account for buying an Estate parcel?
  7. I have seen some parcels for sale, which can be bought seemingly cheaply (only 99L$) via the About Land button which is then showing a Buy Land button But in the parcel (which I have not yet bought) there's a vendor's panel saying that there is rent to pay. I was under the impression that after buying a parcel it is completely mine and I just have to pay tier to Linden Lab for the Square Metres I own. Does the whole payment process work differently for private regions not attached to the mainland? If they are rented then why do they have the 'Buy' button as well? (Maybe I'm just being dumb but I find it confusing)
  8. Thanks everyone! You are all very much awesome ❤️
  9. I'm uncomfortable as a typical-looking male but also after spending some months as a woman (in my alt), which I loved, I've come to the point where I want to be more honest about things. The thing is I hate being in a masculine body. I don't want to be hairy or muscular. I want a waist and hips and nice smooth curvy legs, and I want the option to wear women's high heel shoes. So... I have the Maitreya Lara body and I got the flat chest add-on. But now my mesh head doesn't fit it at all. It looks like this (attached)... The neck size options in the Maitreya Hud don't fix it Increasing the neck thickness in body shape doesn't fix it because it also increases the thickness of the neck size of the head part. Three questions... Do I have any options for male-identifying mesh heads that would fit with a female-typical mesh body? * Where can I buy a skin for Lara Flat? My skin is a male skin, but the nipples don't line up to the Lara Flat nipples Where might I find clothes that would fit a Lara Flat body? (either male or female-typical clothes, I want some of each) (* I am only interested in mesh body parts, graphics realism is of the utmost importance for my purposes. But I totally respect the system heads / bodies community, it's horses for courses.) I wonder whether I will need to get a "female" head and then adjust the shape to make it more masculine. This is acceptable. But the skin and clothes questions still stand if this is the case. I’m not really looking for your typical "femboy" look, I'm a cishet guy who would like a woman's waist, hips and legs but with a flat chest. Is that complicated? (LOL maybe) Any advice most welcome, thanks!
  10. Aha.... thank you. So it's a viewer thing, trying to smooth things I suppose.
  11. This compact method is great and works nicely for toggling a door open / closed with alternate touches. One thing I don't understand: llSetLocalRot appears to animate the hinge motion but I can't see any parameters associated with the time it takes to reach the final angle. I know there are keyframe-based methods to get more control over the animation – I’m not asking about that. I just want to understand this method specifically. Is there something about llSetLocalRot, or [the variable called here] gRotSwing (returned bv llEuler2Rot) that determines that it should animate? Or does llSetLocalRot simply rotate objects at some hard-coded rate that cannot be changed?
  12. I am designing a landscape. There will be no sculpts, only landscaping + mesh objects. The thrust of my post was to ascertain whether there is any advantage to me using 10 instances of the same 3LI tree vs. using 10 different 3LI trees (for example). To simplify the question let's say they all use the same single texture map. So it's good to know those mesh models will at least only be downloaded once from the CDN, which tells me network lag at least will be improved using 10 instances of the same tree.
  13. They do when you click something and it doesn't execute for 60 seconds. But yes of course it is server-side lag, I know that. It all impacts on the experience.
  14. Well it seems it’s a matter under some dispute! It would seem rather illogical to load identical mesh model data from the server twice for the same user in the same session. Of course avatar complexity (and avatar script load too.... Grr @ fashion makers with no "delete scripts" button in the supplied HUD) is a major perf. issue but a slightly separate topic that I am not asking about. Even with no other avatars in a region some nicely designed landscapes can take minutes to load even with draw distance down at 32 metres.
  15. I knew that was the case with textures (visibly you can see all copies of a texture load at once) but wasn't sure about mesh, so thank you that is great to know. I am planning a build and I care more about its real performance for visitors than about fitting as much as I can into the numerical LI limit which I can pay more to increase.
