And of course, if one asks 100 residents about what LL should develop or enhance or repair first, most likely there will be at least 50 different things mentioned. And of course a company can't handle 50 improvements and developments simultaneously. Development always goes step by step, in a slow pace.
And they do: SL improved a lot over the years. One simply can't expect major changes withing weeks or months. We have to be realistic about that.I don't disagree with you. But a website for an internet based company is the first thing any prospective player sees. These days, it doesn't even take that much effort or money to get it in a very modern sate.
e.g. if you had a hobby car and you don't give it a fresh coat of paint but still claim you care about it, it will be a claim hard to digest, right?-

Companies run out of business very quick if only making losses.
Funny how people have been claiming the death of SL for years now.
You are certainly not the first and won't be the last to say it.
They are not making losses yet. We were never at the cusp of a metaverse revolution. Over the last 2 years the new membership counts of IMVU, and VRChat have skyrocketed.
Of course, profit is the only rule, but anyone who is into SL and has a VR headset also plays VRChat without exception. The only thing keeping SL in business is the adult content friendliness which allows a lot of freedom.-

Is the main website really so bad? It think it's pretty functional, a diiference in taste doesn't mean it's bad. Comparing it to inworld brands isn't right. Their targets aren't the same. In general Linden Lab is a provider, they make the room Second Life to play in, brands are the toys to play with.
Oh the main website is extremely clunky. No phone UI in 2023. No recommender system. And you'll see that if you want to sell on the marketplace the UI for listing things is just so outdated. It's at a point where it's not like oh it's a thing we can do. It's a thing they should definitely do pronto but they seem to just not give a ***** at all.

I disagree.
In particular: there is a mobile app in development which has been highly publicized.
Yeah... It has been in development for some 5 years. It doesn't take that long my friend.

I've been wondering this lately. I've played for a long time. Secondlife has a decent userbase. I've definitely seen though that the number and quality of people have declined for sure.
There are so many problems that are either very easily fixable or at least so easy to see.
1. The main website. It's straight out of 1999. Listing things on marketplace is so tedious because of the god awful UI. This is the easiest to fix. Won't take even 3 months and more than a couple 1000 dollars. Does Linden Labs not make any money? I'll be surprised.
2. Mobile app? Imvu, despite it's limitations has gained a lot of popularity. Why doesn't Secondlife have a mobile app? They even blacklisted the one that was half decent. Why do that? That would've increased the range of Secondlife so much.
3. Extremely complex avi system, at least for a beginner. There is a very distinct gap between the starter Avis and other bodies like legacy, inithium etc etc. This is probably the hardest to fix, but it's so daunting for a newcomer. If there were slightly better starter Avis, more people will stay.
4. Other little things e.g. updating inventory in the beta grid. There's a beta grid where you get free lindens to test things you create before you upload them to the main world. It's supposed to have all your main grid inventory. The only way to update the inventory in that is to contact support and raise a ticket. It's been that way for at least 5-6 years.
Is Linden Labs not making a profit? Many of the brands like legacy have much better websites than Secondlife itself. Hell many Sims in SL look better than SL website.
It has become so obvious to me that SL is going to die if Linden Labs doesn't get it's ***** together. That will be a shame.

How can I create a static pose for bento wings? I have a pair of modifiable bento wings. I just want to add a pose where they fold in front of me and cover whoever is with me while the rest of my body is unaffected, the rest does whatever animations are assigned to it. Any clue how I can achieve that?
I don't have avastar but I do have bento buddy, I can probably make do if the instructions are for avastar too.

Wow - a security system that lets banned people unban themselves... how pointless. I guess it's nothing more than a personal data collection system after all.
Yeah, that struck me as so odd too. What's the point of a system where you can just unban yourself. All it asked was for me to do a captcha.

I used to visit a sim I really like (Planet of QoS). I don't do sploders and whatnot. I did try it once, but just that once and out of curiosity. Never used the sploder thing ever again.
I landed in the sim today and boom! TP'd away because I'm on VooDoo ban list for some reason. I don't grief anyone, I don't bother people. No creepy IMs to anyone. I just stand there being normal and generally nice to everyone. I do use a VPN, so I guess I might be getting punished for someone else's misdeeds?
I signed up with Voodoo but their "raise a ticket" page is just blank, no option to raise a ticket. I did reach out to the sim owner as well, would he be able to help?EDIT: I was able to unban myself by following the instructions here: https://voodoo.community/en/help/get-unbanned/
The unban was rather painless. I hope it works for anyone who finds this post in the future. -

If it's tattoos you want to make (i.e. nothing that depends on an existing texture: no need for shadow maps or anything), it's not too complicated to choose a local file as a local texture in SL, apply that texture as a tattoo layer, then just make educated guesses where to draw on the texture to get them to go to the right places on the SL model. Once you know the correct texture areas, you can start laying down something more serious.
Hi, not tattoos, glowing, animated tattoos. They would be mesh, cannot be done without a devkit.
-
@Rolig Loon I obviously know that. That's why I'm asking for Devkits that are freely available.
-
As the title says.
I don't understand the point of gating Devkits. I have programming background, I am getting into building for SL and it's really fun. I only want to make for myself and for my friends, I have no intention of selling any of the things. I make scripted things like armbands that glow and stuff like that. I want to make animated glowing RGB tattoos, just something fun, but I need a devkit for that.
So since I don't want to sell them I can't have a marketplace store. What human bodies are there that offer devkits freely (even fanmade would do really)? As a thanks I'd make a custom glowing RGB tattoo for anyone who points me in the right direction.

BOM Textures Appear Gray on Beta Grid. [HELP]
in General Second Life Tech Discussion
Posted
I've been tinkering with things on the beta grid and for whatever reason, all the BOM textures on my avi have turned gray. The applier textures work and appear just fine. Here's an example:
If I right click and go to edit shape, the textures appear fine for as long as I stay in the edit mode and turn gray again as soon as I exit:
Things I've tried already:
1. Changing skins
2. Changing bodies
3. Rebake
4. Starting from default avatar
5. Clearing cache
6. Different viewer
