SL is a game AFAK. It's a thing where you do stuff for fun so I see it as a game with a social focus.

I believe LL uses lazy search for the search query, that being #Pseudo-code warning, this does not work and doesn't append properly sqlQuery = "select * from secondlife.parcels like "for i in userInput.split(" "): sqlQuery = sqlQuery + "desc=\"%" + sqlEscape(i) + "%\" and" As such, commas are not nessessry(You can add them if you want though), lowercase/uppercase does not matter either. EG: A search for "beautiful cat" would bring up a parcel/region with this description: a beautiful landscape for anyone to enjoykeywords: CAT LAND PIE KEYWORDS EXAMPLE For the most part though, keywords are left in lower case as a precaution(Should LL introduce case sensitive search), because no one really capitalizes their search queries.

It has monthly fees and also requires personal info to register but it does not have to be tied to a bank account if you are worried about that. I'd be careful with GreenDot cards. Before I got paypal, I tried using a GreenDot card. When I went to use it with SL, it requested my SSN. Needless to say, I'd trust people with my address and name before I trust them with my SSN. If you want to give LL the most minimal of information, you can use PayPal(You will need to link your credit card there). When you link your PayPal to SL, LL will only see your email(Which you have already gave them). Here is a snapshot if you want proof:  Yes I am aware my L$ balance is visible. I don't really care that it is. For the most part however, regardless of your choice(Either giving LL your CC info, using paypal, or even skrill), ALL the billing information is encrypted on the server side. If there is ever a problem, LL has a 24/7 billing support team that accepts phone calls even if you are not a premium member(You can use support tickets as well): https://support.secondlife.com/billing-support/

You can use HTTP Requests to figure out how many agents are on the grid(And more if you wish). Here is an example script which finds out how many people are on the grid when clicked, then says it out on channel 0: //This is called from below when we get our info//If you want you can just change this. :3( ) (, + () + ); //Function for ease of use =; () //Lets not re-request if we already are waiting on a request. (==) = (,[],); ; ( ) //Lets ask the server for information (); ( , , , ) (==)//Is it our request? (==)//Make sure we didn't get an error //The response is seperated by new lines, so we use \n = (, [], []); //Never trust the order, it can always change. //So we will find out where it is here = (, []); () //Make sure we got a VALID location //Add 1 to locationOfInWorld and we get our value //Note it is STILL a string, we need to cast it into a integer = ()(, + ); //Lets call our function (); //This is optional, it's just made for ease of use =; --EDIT-- Oh god the forums cant handle my formatting --EDIT LOG #26928-- It is the year 2582, It's getting dark, there is still no hope in sight the forums will accept my formating soon.

I have created a Case Ticket about this, but I am unsure how long it will take. Asking here because Community Forums seem to always be active. I am aware the Community Forums cannot "help me" in a way that LL can with L$, but I do know people have experience with stuff like this. I have purchased L$2000 from the Lindex via the viewer, and was given L$2000 by exchangerino.lindenburgs(Or whatever the account's name is, never saw it so I'm just taking a silly guess :smileyvery-happy:). Because I am new to paypal, I wanted to make sure everything went through correctly. So I checked my paypal account, I was debited $8.36, and for additional checking, I went to my bank account's site. I have at least greater than $25 in my bank account(Not going to reveal actual amount), but it was still the same as before I had purchased L$. I had asked a small group chat and someone stated that I will be banned. I have never used paypal before, and have always used third party exchanges until they were shutdown(and scammed me) using paysafecards. I have, as stated above, created a case ticket about this, but knowing LL, this may take a while(Unless they are speedy gonzales with L$ support tickets). So I ask the community forums these two questions: Did I do something incorrect here or is my bank account just slow on updating the e-banking site?Will I be banned?

As a software developer and networking protocol engineer, I can safely say by connecting to the internet your IP is revealed. Here is the basic anatomy of network protocol: (Image is released to public domain) In this example though, it is my Lan IP. When it gets sent to my modem, it will replace the Source IP with my public IP address. But as long as anyone is connected to the internet, their IP address is visible to whom ever they connect to. Expecially on OSGrid, since it is user ran anyone can get anyone's IP address. It's no big deal. :3 In which case it is seemed that it is an elaberate ruse of me hiding behind my Lan IP, my public IP is 98.17.243.139.

Almost most of the time, if you are buying from marketplace, there is a "User license" found within the marketplace description. A good example would be this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Skye-Terrain-Textures-Lush-Grassy-40-x-2-Full-Perms-Grass-Terrain-Textures/2175219 Licence: Do not resell or distribute these as textures sets. Resell only as part of a build. Please Note: Textures purchased from SL Marketplace are licensed for use only within Second Life. For an extended commercial licence please purchase from studio-skye.com If you are buying in-world, there is probably either a sign or notecard giver somewhere that provides this license. If there is no license provided, I'd say go with common practice: If you payed more than L$0 for the textures, don't go sharing them around. You can use them on your builds, whether the builds be full perm, or no perm, free, or L$999,999,999. Avoid including the textures in the object's inventory. This may be acceptable if you need to use a script that you cannot modify, in which case, You set the permissions texture permissions to "no-transfer, no-copy"(Unless you payed L$0 for them). If you can modify the script, either directly or via notecard, it is HIGHLY preferable you use the texture's UUID. And most importantly, If in doubt, ask the creator! If you need some full perm textures that you can share around freely, I'd suggest Torley Textures. I'm pretty sure Torley Linden has moved the texture giver around, but I am for sure they are still at Here, if not he probably moved them to Torley. --EDIT-- Correction: I had Torley's wiki userpage open and I slipped right by it, he stores his textures on Torley, located approximately right here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Torley/158/163/68

Should America give free land and homes to people who have been living in America for a long time? Scooby Mode wrote: Also side note (has LL ever listened to what we wanted)? Just afking, I don't come onto the forums much like some, so I don't get to see people raising idea's and all, and giving suggestions. Sometimes, I've seen Lindens post on the forums before, I think most of the time they are silently being amused by forum posts though.

In the first and second case, if that would infringe copyright, then any picture taken would infringe copyright in some way. When photographing the paintings, I would say to follow in the steps of Wikipedia: Low resolution, credit the artists(Right next to the image), only use where and when absolutely necessary(EG: An article about the painting). Should the photograph be a high resolution image, should it be with or without credit, of a single painting, without the permission of the artist, then copyright would be infringed. DISCLAIMER: I am not a legal adviser. Do not take any of my words as fact or use them in the court of law. Should you follow my words, I am not responsible for any actions or consequences resulting from following my words. Besides should you take the words of a random person on a forum, specifically in a discussion for fun, then maybe you shouldn't get yourself into any legal trouble in the first place.

So since 2015/06/10, I have been getting teleport spam to <Cannot name and shame, but they spam with teleports, hint hint>(Of course I am banned there now because I have asked to be removed from the spam list :smileyvery-happy:. Unfortunately I still recieve the spam) from bots of all sorts of names, I have reported them each time I have recieved a teleport invite, but LL has yet to do anything about it. Upon further investigation, they keep their place filled with idle bots to boost traffic. Now correct me if I am wrong, but all four of these are against the terms of service, yes? Army of alts (Theres literally dozens, DOZENS! Non-jokingly, judging by how they follow a "#of#.resident" scheme for some alts, theres over about 200)Spamming/disturbing the peaceBypassing muteTraffic gamingWill LL ever investigate this? I think they need to get volunteer grid moderators if they are overloaded with ARs. Sorry if this seems like I don't think LL is doing anything, I just needed to vent because It's getting really on my nerves. LL are good people, just maybe not the fastest people. :< Also for those who wonder what those spinny bots do that are not listed as a scripted agent, This might just be the anwser. They harvests usernames of active users.

I believe the payment method was removed due to the fact that it is quite hard to manage multiple in-world services that are not owned by LL, but polies must still be inforced by LL. They have added many new payment methods, unfortunately, paysafecard was not one of them. I've been using it because it was a whole lot easier to just buy a card from the convienience store, rather to go set up a payment method with my bank and what not. However, if you use Skrill as alternative method of cashing in the paysafecards(I have not tested this, xchange4ls ripped me off on my last $50 paysafecard so I have been busy trying to get it back, therefore unable to check): https://help.skrill.com/en-us/Article/services/paysafecard/how-does-paysafecard-work-with-skrill Alternatively, you can do what I am doing now(Which seems a bit more safe IMO), and link paypal to a checking account. It will only show up on the bank statement as "PAYPAL INST XFER". Only those with access to the paypal account will see the actual receptant of the money.

I literally just stand around all day in SL while I sleep IRL.

You had it right for the most part. I have modified the script and commented the changes for you. However, here are the issues with the original following script in case you are wondering: "attach" always is called when worn, but "state_entry" is only called once, unless you use llResetScript(); PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION is a constraint for the number 16, and therefore will always run. It would not confirm that the permissions were granted. The timer calls a reset after it is finished, this will cause the script to re-request permissions. updateTimer(){ //All of below was also correct float randomFloat = 20.0 + llFrand(-15); integer random = llRound(randomFloat); llSetTimerEvent(random); llSay(0,(string)random);}default{ attach(key avatar) { llResetScript(); //Since we are not relying on a changed event, we should reset the script here so the owner is always re-detected. } state_entry() { //This is called when the script enters the first state //Judging by what you want to do, we can settle for 8kb and use less memory. llSetMemoryLimit(0x2000); //0x2000 = 8192 = 8kb llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(),PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION); //This part was correct } run_time_permissions(integer perm) { //When you get permissions if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) { //& and && is different, & is bitwise for "If bit(s) is set" and && is comparison for "x AND y" updateTimer(); //We have permissions, lets turn the timer on! } } timer() { llStartAnimation("express_open_mouth"); //Correct llStartAnimation("express_bored_emote"); //And also correct updateTimer(); //Randomize the next event call }} Additionally, I have included a extra bit of code that is completely optional but is considered good practice as it reduces the memory footprint of the script. That part being is llSetMemoryLimit(0x2000); //0x2000 = 8192 = 8kb You can remove that part if you wish and it will not break anything. It simply bumps the script from 64kb to 8kb. :3 Hope this helps and happy scripting!

This is kind of a hard to check situation. First thing I would recommend trying is checking your purchase history(Image included in case necessary): You can then search by Customer and see if they have purchased your textures in the past, even if they are L$0. Another method would be to see if you could get ahold of the textures, if they have not re-uploaded them, then your name should be on them, or at least the UUIDs would be the same. Other than that, there is no other way, unless you can get them to speak the truth, which would be unlikely. But as a response to the question "Has anyone had issues with textures being resold, and if so, how did you resolve it?": As someone who sells full-perm stuff on a regular basis, it's a small price to pay to have people rip you off in order to bring happiness and freedom to many, because no matter what we do, there will always be "that guy". Only thing to do is report and/or file a DCMA report(Please only do this if you know 100% that the product in question is in violation as it causes issues on all 3 parties side(Your's, LL's, and The reported's)). Not saying the person in question did rip the textures/resell them, just a answer to that question in specific.
