    Network Adboard Script Needed

    in Wanted

    Looking for a script set where I can have a master board in SL with pics and LM giver, and give copies of the adboard out that will update when I update the master. This would mainly be an events board. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Tallest building?

    It is impossible to really say what the tallest building is, or the biggest, or smallest etc..  You'd have to visit every sim and measure all the tall ones.  But you can't do that as many sims are private and you can't get there.  Even if you could, the tallest right now might change by tomorrow because people are always building new things.  You can build up to 4096m

    Thus, I shall make a building 4096m high :P

    Looking for wall text decor item

    in Wanted

    Posted

    I had an item on the wall of my last home (which I now believe I accidentally deleted with the house) which was a wall text of What A Wonderful World lyrics. Now that I'm looking for it, I can't find it anywhere! Anyone have a clue? I've looked on Marketplace, and did a lot of tp'ing around in-world, but nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Renting VS Buying land

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Keep renting skyboxes if you are happy with it. I mostly live on ground level, and have a little skybox I play with and decorate.

     

    Some land is sold for first week or month's rent, and no cost is involved in the land itself. Others you are paying for a community feel and covenent and special terraformed parcels, instead of a square block of sand or grass.

     

    Just depends on if you want to live on the ground or not.

    Issues with prepaid and gift cards

    A common cause of payment method failure is the use of unsupported card types. At this time, the majority of prepaid cards are
    not compatible with our system, even if they bear the
    VISA
    /AMEX/Mastercard logo. This includes cards purchased at retail stores, rechargeable credit cards, and bank-issued check cards.

    If they were supported, it would be a great way to manage money spent in SL. It would also be a safer way to have limited funds at any given time in case of account compromise, instead of having it connected to a bank account.

    Thanks, I never thought about them maybe causing lag.  I guess I'll probably end up having to keep them at my daughter's land.  Always nice to have RL family inworld.  She offered before, but I kind of liked coming home to them.  Oh well, I don't want to make problems for others so will probably move them.  I appreciate everyone who answered. 
    I find that everytime I am not sure what to do, someone has the answer on here.

    Its a place for mutual back scratching. We all learn from each other. Second Life changes constantly too, so there is always something new to learn.

    I used to have a zombie shooting range, which I put as high up in the sky as I could (back then we could only build up to 752m, now, apart from on Linden Homes sims, we can build up to 4096m high in the sky).  I thought it would be out of harms way up there, but my zombies sometimes slipped through the walls of my skybox and tumbled down onto the homes of my neighbours, and they were none too pleased (although some thought it was quite funny).

    I hope your kitties settle in at your daughter's land. 

     

     

     

    And I missed out on the zombie invasion?? As annoying as that might be to some, I'd love to have found a zombie in my yard lol

    Why is the official viewer choppier than third party viewers?

    in Second Life Viewer

    I would love to know that as well. I had to swap to Firestorm because I was getting freezing and very low FPS. Then the crashes started to become too much. With Firestorm I get 10 to 15 more FPS. I can't begin to mention the other cool features I've come to love :)

     

    This does not mean I don't crash, but that is due to my 3 year old video card that I'm pushing too hard sometimes :D But even turning down many graphics options with the official viewer I could not get it to stop crashing me. As much as I love Firestorm, I don't like the idea of it being a project from a non profit org.

     

    So LL, how do volunteer coders do it better than your paid ones?

    Selling old clothes

    The whole 'used/unused' thing does not make a lot of sense in SL, as has already been pointed out. Taking the time to put them in a sellable fashion and placing them in a store inworld or on the MP will probably not reward you for the time spent.

    Giving them away might, though. In my house when we have clothes/stuff we know we won't wear or use but that is still perfectly good (even new, sometimes: presents, etc) they go to Goodwill, a US charity that gets a lot of its funding from reselling items that have been donated. I don't know of anything like that in SL but I do know that many people find newcomers needing things and donate them. The Forum Cartel Hangout has a ton of stuff like that; I'm sure there are other places you could give them to.

    The first person I met and actually really got to know when I started here—Joanna, my first mentor—kept giving me stuff. It was embarassing! I finally had to ask her to stop giving me so much stuff. Of course at the time I didn't know anything at all about copy/trans, plus it was probably inventory she never planned to use.

    New people always appreciate getting new clothes or other things. If and when I am ready to bail or find myself with more unwanted stuff than I can handle, I'll probably hunt down a place that provides things for new residents, give them all my stuff, and let them sort it out. But if you think you might enjoy taking a mentor route, you could emulate Joanna. SL can always use more like her.

     

    A thrift shop in SL would be fantastic lol Getting enough things donated for turnaround would probably be the big showstopper there.
