  1. Try wareing a different bald. Go to your inventory and type 'bald' in the search box and then ware on that is differnt from the one that you are currently wearing.
  2. I also have a Samsung SSD and I am very happy with it (internal). I also got a significant graphic card upgrade (for me) GeForce GTX 660/PCIe/SSE2 from my old GF 9800, which makes a massive improvement in performance. I don't know what m/c means but if there is only room for 1 hard drive consider making the SSD the internal one and have an external hard drive (rotating type) for data and backup. If you go for a USB 3 option verify that the external drive is also USB3 or it will run at USB2 speed.
  3. it is lag of some kind that causes tp failures. I checked it out and was able to tp from your ground level to the shop without problems.
  4. I think that Crystal Gadgets do a free one
  5. If you want a decent suit you could try Kauna http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Moon%20Shine/128/88/65 Prices are eye watering but you buy quality and it lasts. Well, that's what my old da' used to say.
  6. My SL performance is great and has never been better. Here are a couple of suggestions. If you are on a Mac, use the official linden viewer. There are some problems with graphics on the current version of Fire for the Mac. If you are on windows: Preferences/Graphics click on the refresh button top right to reload default settings. Preferences/Graphics/Rendering/Texture Rendering make sure that 'Use HTTP' is selected. Preferences/Network & Cache/Bandwidth, no higher than 500 kbps (note: HTTP is not throttled by the bandwidth setting it just grabs what ever bandwidth is available). If you still have problems back to the Graphics settings and lower the slider a notch. In my experience doing this instead of fiddling with the advanced settings gives a better result.
  7. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlDetectedGroup //Gives inventory only to agents with the same active groupdefault{ touch_start(integer total_number) { if (llDetectedGroup(0) ) //same as llSameGroup(llDetectedKey(0) ) (with llSameGroup, detected must be in the sim) llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(0), llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, 0) ); else llSay(0, "Wrong active group!"); }}
  8. I think the main problem is your target for the particle system. You should put your particle system in one prim and position it where you want the chain to start from. Then you put another prim where you want the chain to end. Get the key for this prim using llGetKey llSay(0, (string)llGetKey()) now put that key in as the target, like this but using the key from your prim, not mine. PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY, (key)"e168c444-1360-d5e6-3a13-82329f220bbc", if you want a second chain on the other side just do the same thing. get it workig first and then link it with your swing, make sure that the current root prim stays as the root prim when you link.
  9. There was someone that used to have in their signature, "if rotations were easy everything would be spinning". Still makes me chuckle.
  10. A few ideas to try: I would keep the data in a list. When I want to send it convet the list to csv so that it is in text format. I would probably use llRegionSay to send the message on some negative channel. The hud would listen on this channel and if they got a message convert it from csv to a list and do whatever with it. There is no way to persist (save) data within secondlife so it is lost when the script is restarted. The only way you could do this (to the best of my knowledge) is to have an external web site. then you can send the data to the web site and it can save it using aspx or php or some such. To send data to the server same kind of thing, use a different channel to avoid cross talk. If you google "lsl prim to prim communication" you will find some example code.
  11. In the UK there is web TV on a site called catchuptv.com. It works great. I just connect to it with media on a prim and the quality is as good as watching it in a browser. If you are using Firestorm, make sure that you have textures to download by http. Then open your statistics bar to monitor FPS and bandwidth usage. Then set your bandwidth down as low as it will go and gradually bring it up and see if the quality improves.
  12. Hello again, Firstly, thanks for all the feedback from the last beta release, it was really helpful! I have just released a new beta version of MachiniCam screen recording software and I am looking for some beta testers. If you can spend a little time testing and send me some feedback I would be very grateful. Download here and use the link in the software to send feedback. Details of the changes are also on the website. If you do I will give you a small reward. I have another tool for helping get great shots in world. It is a virtual joystick that will enable you to steer your camera as if you are using a joystick, it maps your numeric keypad to the Flycam controls in your viewer. It enables you to smoothly pan right/left, up/down, forward/backward, turn left/right pan up/down and roll left/right and you can use them all in combination. This is free software,no time limit. More info here: vJoy VW. Send me feedback on MachiniCam using the link in the software and I will send you the download link to vJoy VW. Ohjiro Watanabe
  13. Thanks for your feedback Chic; you make some fair points. I am an independent programmer from the UK with an interest in machinima. My rl name is Tim Payne and I am using the name A to B Software to trade under. I have been in SL for nearly 6 years. Why do I have a URL like www.atob.ws (or even atob.ws)? I just liked it because it was short. I got it from here: website.ws. The web site is actually located in the UK and not Western Samoa (but I can dream can't I?). When I first had a go at making my own machinima I looked around for programs to used. There were a few things that I noticed such as: Lack of flexibility Confusing so that it is not immediately obvious how to start recording. Irrelevant options/features Emphasis on chrome instead of usability No preview image Buttons with odd icons that I didn't understand Poor quality output Restricted file size Of course there is a range of different screen recording programs and the above points may not apply to all of them. You may have your favorite that you are used to and wouldn't consider changing. I decided that I could put my skills to use to make an application that was specifically aimed at machinima. I designed the interface to make it as simple as possible to start recording with the minimum number of mouse clicks. I found a free lossless codec that compresses the size of the file but without any loss of quality. This is shipped with MachiniCam. MachiniCam has no file size restriction, tested up to 15GB. One reason why some people might consider using my program is that I am actively developing MachiniCam primarily for use creating machinima and that I am in communication with the community. My hope is that the feedback from people actually making machinima will lead to new features that are really useful. I already have some good feedback that I am acting on and this will result in a second beta release in a short time. Chic, I hope this gives you the confidence to download the beta and at least give it a try. Maybe there is some feature that you are looking for that I can provide. Ohjiro
  14. Hello Folks, I am developing a windows program to record the screen for machinima, It is called MachiniCam 2. I am looking for beta testers. If you are interested please go to MachiniCam and download the file. There are a couple of short videos to show how it works. It is really simple. On the title bar of the application there is a link that says ‘Feedback’. When you click on it you will go to a page where you can tell me how you got on. Or you can just IM me in world. I hope you like it. Ohjiro Watanabe
