[Ebbe Altberg talking at the Third-Party Dev Meeting]

That's a transcript of Ebbe at VWBPE (Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education) conference. Inara usually posts a summary of the Third Party Developers meetings, but I don't think she's done so yet.

[Conversation Log Issue?]

Just to be clear, I'm referring to saving transcript files with the date stamp in the file name rather than just having the time stamp included in the transcript text.

[Conversation Log Issue?]

Could it be that when you save your transcript files with a date stamp, the viewer only pulls in the most recent file for the previous conversation?

[Travelling in the void]

Something like an Openspace region, perhaps?

[Psychological Services For Pay?]

Anyone who'd pay for counselling in SL definitely needs counselling.

[Mystery Blue Circles Causing Log Outs]

The Copy to Clipboard button copies the text to the clipboard ready for pasting wherever you need.

Oops… sorry, I missed the bit specifically about that not working.

[Deploy Plans for the week of 2018-01-22]

Can anyone tell me if the Public Server Releases Google calendar has been abandoned, overlooked or changed? It doesn't seem to have been updated since about November last year.

[AGENT_TYPING + llStartAnimation Error permission]

In the screenshot of the Animate on attach script there is a spurious } on line 68.

The compiler would take this to be the end of the default state, but when it gets to line 69 it finds stuff that it expects to see inside a state, and thus shows an error at line 69.

I think you just need to delete line 68.

[Best Picture frames?]

How does a script determine the original proportions of a picture?

[Some Help with a script]

To Rolig's aside, yes a notcard's UUID does change when it's edited in an object's inventory. In combination with CHANGED_INVENTORY this is a useful cue to re-read an updated settings notecard.

[Toolbar question]

You should be able to just drag the individual buttons to the bottom of the screen.

[Second Life is filled with petty and rude people.]

Game? Social platform? We?

It's a toy. And you can play whatever games you want with it.

[Excessive client Lag even on very fast machine]

The one thing I see here is that you've almost certainly set your maximum bandwidth way too high. Try setting it to 1500kbps, or perhaps even less. This is the Firestorm web page that talks about finding the optimum setting: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_speedtest.

With any luck someone will explain why, in this case, less is more: it's something I've never really figured out.

[Hud control panels]

Perhaps your HUD has repositioned itself somewhere off the visible screen. Right click and edit a visible HUD and then use the scroll wheel on your mouse, or the zoom slider on the camera controls floater, to zoom out and bring the hidden items back into view. Then right click on the hidden HUD and use the arrows to drag it back inside the visible screen area outlined in white.

HUDs are also subject to an SL bug where sometimes items don't render when they should. You can try selecting edit for the item from its listing in your inventory. This should make it visible if it's just failed to render, or the green and blue axis lines will give a clue to where it's gone - in which case you can zoom and drag it back into the visible screen area.

[Space navigator users?]

"Mine is working fine." (Firestorm and SL viewer, current versions.)

Though having said that, there was a SpaceNavigator software update a while ago that did mess things up considerably. Reverting to the previous release restored the usual smooth and seamless functionality.

[LSL Refresh Attachments]

I used to use a script that, when I TPed into a different region, briefly set my camera view to a few thousand metres above my location and then returned it to normal. I can't remember why I stopped using it; either because the effect was too annoying or perhaps because it stopped being as effective as it was at first. These days I have a macro that toggles wireframe view on and off (Ctrl+Shift+R, twice) tied to a spare mouse button (scroll wheel click), and clicking it when I arrive in a new region has become an automatic reflex action.

ETA: the wireframe toggle will also (usually) redraw other scene elements that fail to render the first time.

ETA2: I wonder if there's some RLV commands that might force a scene refresh?

[Avatar hover height]

You could try something like this:

default
{
    attach (key id)
    {
        if (id) llOwnerSay ("@adjustheight:1.0=force");
        else llOwnerSay ("@adjustheight:0=force");
    }
}

which adds a hover of "1.0" when the object carrying the script is worn, and resets it to 0 when it's removed.

Actually, the parameters for @adjustheight are more involved than I've shown here, but for myself, in practice, I've just trial-and-errored a single value parameter that works (I'm a very lazy scripter). A value of 1.0, without any other parameters appears the set a hover height of 0.1m. See http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Protocol/RestrainedLoveAPI#Movement for more info (and this links to http://sldev.free.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=447 for even more detail). Note that not all RLV enabled viewers support this function, though Firestorm does.

[Avatar hover height]

There is also a debug setting, AvatarHoverOffsetZ, that appears to work independently of the hover setting in your shape. The Firestorm viewer has a Hover Height slider in its Quick Preferences floater by default. And there's an RLV command, @adjustheight:n=force, that you can use from a script.

[Script Lag or Script Conflict or Door Limit Object?]

To follow on from Rolig's idea, one of the first things I try when a clickable object doesn't respond to being clicked is to try touching it from its right-click context menu.

[Animate the texture on the specified face]

I believe you can only animate either one or all the faces of a prim, and you can only run one animation on a prim.

To get the effect you're asking about I'd use two identical prims, one set up with the animation on ALL_SIDES and with the unwanted faces transparent, and make the faces on the other prim that correspond to the desired faces of the first prim transparent.

[Function to make owner say to local chat]

Possibly not relevant here, but…

If you're just trying to avoid the hassle of having to type out commands then you might consider using gestures tied to function keys to issue them.

Also, many vehicle scripts will let you specify and use a non-public chat channel to issue commands, which is aesthetically more pleasing (and something both llDialog and gestures can accommodate with ease).

[Can someone tell me what these rlv commands are?]

Sorry, hit enter by accident. It'll take me a while yet to compose an adequate reply to this.

[Original camera settings]

For the standard rear view you'll want to look at the debug settings CameraOffsetRearView and FocusOffsetRearView, and reset these to default. You may also need to reset CameraAngle. The Offset settings are also repeated for FrontView and GroupView.

[static/animated emoter script help]

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

if (llGetInventoryType (chat_text) == INVENTORY_TEXTURE)

[Help With Texture Change and Anim Script]

You need braces "{}" to enclose the blocks of statements after the if and else statements (though not for single statements).

if (this)
{
    that;
    other;
}
else
{
    something;
    different;
}
