  1. Thank you for the responses - the position has been filled. (I'd delete the post, but I don't know how)
  2. Frustration abounds. I tried in the scripting forum, but I'm no scriptor. I built a mesh lamp. it has multiple surfaces. I want to have on/off functions. Requirements: Touch anywhere to toggle On/Off. ON Face 2 (bulb) = full bright, glow (0.10), light emit (defaults are fine) Face 0 (shade) = full bright (only) would be really nice to have a sound, but not required (i have one in inventory) OFF . this should be obvious - everything off. no full brite, glow, or light. again, sound would be nice, but not required. willing to pay a reasonable fee for completed and working script. Contact me by: notecard in-world (IM's get capped) or PM me here. Mods: can I list my email address? Edited 1 hour ago by EllieAnne Silverfall contact info
  3. I know, I know - I really should just learn to do it. Unfortunately, RL has me 6 days a week running a business and 2 teens, a hubby, and a house to look after. I barely get time to build my mesh objects. I'm sure it wouldn't take me long to figure out, as I have played with programming here and there in the past, but I haven't the mind for it right now. Maybe in the future when mesh gets too easy! lol Thank you! (it'll be for sale as soon as I get this script worked out )

  5. noted. I was hoping someone could just explain to me how to insert the script, but perhaps just putting out a want ad is best. cheers.
  6. I really appreciate the help, but since I know zero about scripting (other than to change an integer number based on the scriptor's instructions), I'm clueless. Do I insert those lines into the script I am using (where and how?) or do I make a new script? Could I pm someone the script I am using and get a script back with the mod? (again, I'll pay a reasonable fee).
  7. Thanks for responding, Ivanova. I have the light working as I want (intensity, glow, etc) but the only thing is I need the lampshade (only) to become full bright as well, when the lamp is on. currently, this is what I have: Off, On, and how I want On to look. No one has PMed me yet...
  8. I'm so frustrated. I'm don't know how to write scripts, and as much as I love learning, it's not a task I feel like taking on just yet. I am willing to pay for what I am looking for, I just can't find it. I am certain it is a simple thing to do, however. I made a mesh lamp. I found a on/off script that I managed to get to work on my lamp the way I want it to (light/glow/fullbright (I think) from the bulb only). It took a few goes to get it to light from my bulb and not the shade, but I managed. (shade is face 0, bulb is face 2). everything looks great - except - I want the shade to be full bright when the lamp is on - and not when it is not. I have no idea how to make this happen. Can I use a second script? do I have to mod the first script? If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. I'm not looking for freebies, I'm willing to pay if need be. I just want my lamp to work as I want it to. PS... a on/off switch sound would be cool too
  9. I went back in again and was able to make it to a sandbox this time. I think, like you said, it's just being wonky.
  10. I was in the beta grid today, working on a mesh item I created and was booted out twice. Now, when I log in, I can no longer build and i'm in a "safe" hub. can't go anywhere else. No place to build or test mesh. What is going on?
  11. Well, I sell home decor and furniture ... but I'm not aware of many groups for that. Most of the groups I see are for clothing. I'd happily take some suggestions! (but I am a little worried to do that as of yet, since I only have about 12 items so far, but constantly working on more.
  12. I'm finally getting some sales! Eventually, I want to do a monthly gift for group members, but I'm not quite there, as I don't have a following yet. In the meantime, I want to thank my customers somehow. I was originally thinking that I would award a random customer with a random prize from my store inventory (along with a thank you note containing my store LM and Group join link) - but that doesn't really help sales, nor guarantee repeat customers. So, then I started thinking about giving away a gift card or giving the customer a percent off "coupon". Not sure how the percent off would work, other than - "hey notify me when you purchase ad I'll refund you the difference", which even I am leery of. The gift card seems the better route, but I have no idea how to do that. Any advice?
  13. Another idea might be to limit Gacha sales to in-world only, just like yard sales used to be.
  14. I think I see where I misunderstood. As creator, I automatically have full permissions on my items. As a consumer, I should only be able to sell something I purchased with full permissions. Correct?
  15. Can you explain your opinion that all listed items should be full permission? For what reason exactly? Creators have various reasons why they don't like to list full permission and, from my point of view, full perms should be limited to building blocks (or not, should the creator choose to list full perm) I have no issue listing copy/mod and maybe mod/trans, but why should I give my hard work away for someone else to profit unless that was my intention in the first place (and price accordingly)?
  16. I have a really dumb question. I think a long time ago I had a device that I used in my old shop that told me how many visitors I received in my shop. I see counters that are for an entire sim or parcel, but that's not what I need/want right now. I have a simple little market stall for my new shop at the moment, until I grow big enough to put a store on a parcel of my own. Is there any kind of visitor counter that might work for me? I don't want to pay rent someplace where I am getting no traction. Thanks!
  17. I recently opened a store on MP and a market stall in-world to sell the mesh furniture & decor that I have been making. I've been reading and reading the debates regarding copy/mod/transfer and am seeking some sound advice. I started selling my items as copy only, thinking there was no need for mod because they were mesh and I wasn't intending to include UV maps and the like. I am making mesh not to be used as building blocks (I may consider that in the future), but to be sold AS-IS. I figure copy let people not worry about losing an item and they could put out as many as they like. I figured trans makes them resell-able and I don't really want that (for collectibles, is fine). Mod I have a hard time with. I get the artist integrity part, but I also get the customers like to mod things part. I want my customers to resize my items as they see fit, but I do scale them to the standard SL scale to start.If I was selling C/M/T then I would just leave them blank and let the consumer do what they want (at a higher rate, of course). As a consumer, when I want to do my own thing, I buy the C/M/T blanks on purpose. I don't buy another object that is already textured with the intent of changing it. I buy it because I like it as is. But, I am not every customer. As a creator, I don't want to be a sell-out, but I do want my little business to help pay for my SL - I have a full time job, so I don't need it as income. I make the mesh because I enjoy the creative process. If it became a chore, I'd stop. Additionally, I am a little confused regarding if trans is required for gifting items, because a friend brought to my attention that my items would work nicely as gifts. so, any advice that is constructive would be greatly helpful and I thank you in advance.
  18. I like your signature. Hopefully mine is working now. Cheers for the advice!
  19. I'm not looking to set the world on fire just yet... just want to get my foot in the door. I need some exposure, or I'll never get customers - but I don't want to spend too much yet, until I have more wares. (and I think I got my signature line figured out - wonder if I should add a couple pics of my wares? or would that be overkill?) Thank you for the advice!
  20. I will consider the events, but I agree, I need to have more inventory before I go there. Like I said... I'm just trying to get started, somewhere. I plan on offering incentives for buyers to help get repeat customers. Unfortunately, I work full time, 6 days a week and have 2 teens - so I don't get a lot of time, otherwise I'd probably finish several projects a week. I remember one sim that looked good for a smallish booth, but I can't remember where I found it. Ah, well... So, if I understand you correctly, I might be able to sneak my store name and/or link into my signature?
  21. I recently started designing mesh decor & furniture items. I have a marketplace store, but am not getting much traction. I am looking to open a booth somewhere so that I can get some exposure, but I don't want to waste L on malls that don't make good sales or have high foot traffic. However, I need to start somewhere. right now I only have about 8 or 9 items, so I don't need a ton of space. I might even be willing to sell in another store, giving commission to the store owner in lieu of rent - or rent... whichever works. I'm constantly working on new projects to increase my inventory of items. I'm not sure if it is ok to link to my MP or Advertise it by name here in the forums... if anyone knows, please let me know so I can link it to let people check out my wares to consider me. thank you
  22. Thank you all for your replies. I currently rent a 1/3 sim that I think I can set up shop as well... I had thought about it already, but wondered how to generate traffic, which is why I was asking if anyone had success renting a booth (I hear not). I also haven't utilized my free 512 yet, so I was thinking t do that too. I am going to set up MP for sure, even if it means I need to sideline my gacha resells for now. My items will eventually be fairly eclectic decor items, but I am doing that on purpose. I love to mix and match items, modern, vintage, etc, so I intend to offer anything I feel like making lol. I am focusing a bit on vintage/antique decor items for now, but intend to get myself up to furniture. I thin I'll leave the moving objects for down the road. I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight (MP). In the meantime, if anyone wants to message me some in world booth ideas (why not be in a few places?) I would be very grateful.
  23. Hi, ok.. trying again, but going to word things differently. I've just recently started designing mesh decorative items/furniture. I haven't created a ton yet (a bit more than a handful of items). I know I can list on marketplace, but I am looking for advice on how and where to enter the market in world. Eventually, I plant to set up a store on my own property. In the meantime, I am looking for ideas as to where I might find a booth to rent in a sim that gets good traffic and that other, more experienced, merchants here have had success with (which is why I am asking here, rather than in a rental/property forum) - OR - other advice as to how to get started in world. Thanks a bunch!!
  24. I just started designing mesh and partial mesh decor items. So far I only have a handful of items (but furiously working on more!). I know I can open a store, but I currently have some gacha items listed in my marketplace - not ready to take those down just yet, since I don't have many of my own items yet. For now, I'd like to get started in a small market somewhere - but where? I'm not sure if I am allowed to ask here, so if it is not allowed, please feel free to delete my post (mods). Where are some good, popular places that might have booth space available?
