Start standardising skins and shapes - NO THANKS !!!
Once you do that all the variety begins to vanish out of SL . You might as well give everyone a cube as avatar....
-
I have no argument with anyone who thinks building outside sl using a mass of complex software and then paying to import the stuff they made is a way of being 'drawn into' SL ...my problem with mesh has always been - and its quite obvious - that while Lindens have promoted mesh it took away the onus on them to provide building software - even the lindens 'tutorial' on mesh was nothing more than a warning about copyright breaches - no advice on the software to use or how to go about making mesh based items ! It also caused a total stasis in inworld building with nothing new ( bar the introduction of 64 m prims as standard - still not big enough !) when we could be getting new methods of shaping and cutting prims, newly shaped prims etc.
Lindens should be providing the tools to build with in view of the fees they charge and they should be adding new features to those building systems to keep the art of inworld building alive and vibrant.
The introduction of mesh basically stopped any development with the inworld building system at all. And as a result in world building is becoming dull and repetitive.....
Mesh takes away the pleasure of inworld building and turns building into labouring over complex software only to then pay to import something you dont even know is going to look good once it arrives in world.

Good god is that a video card or part of a jet engine... I was lost after 15 seconds I think you'd need the mind of sheldon cooper to understand that

I wouldnt recommend HP - I cant speak for the USA but over here in England Ive found their customer service appalling.
I certainly wouldnt buy from HP again after my experiences with them.

It will take a lot to beat my pal NonSmokerGirl Tulip, who normally assumes the shape of a Zebra (with somewhat less than sturdy legs), dancing to an accompaniment of Tiny Tim singing 'Tiptoe throught the tulips'. The first time I saw it I laughed my socks off. It has to be seen to be believed and its still the funniest thing Ive ever seen in my four years in SL.
-
The thing that continues to astound me about this forum is the total lack of posts screaming for a better service , better value for money and better customer care.
Its clear from the CEOs recent posts that Linden Labs have that same old feeling that people should bow down and be grateful they can spend their dosh on a service giving diminshing returns... rather than doing all he can to boost customer confindence and giving more to the long term devotee of sl rather than throwing out crumbs to lure in newcomers....

Just get sl working properly and screw all the tech smart asses please......We had em whining for mesh and with what effect ...virtually none... Meanwhile the lag worsens, the crashes on tp worsen, the building menu is stuck in stasis without anything new to please the inworld builder.
I want a bigger monitor to see sl on not something which harkens back to miniature screens of the 1950s tv set....
-
Tier cuts all round I say...its the obvious way to give sl a boost across the board.
-
I dont pay a tier to have sl blacked out thanks !!!!!

Youve used that old chant before ...or some American has...we aren't all loyal Americans here...
-
Perhaps if people went after the gun maker there'd be fewer people being shot in the world ...
-
yes well it was you who made the first analaogy to winning and loosing so youre probably right...
-
well when youre battling wits with people who have none.......

And if people are so absolutely up in arms about censorship why havent there been a few more complaints about the mysterious deletions of posts from this forum... ????
Lindens is hardly blameless when it comes to the subject of censorship so would probably hardly be able to take the 'high ground' over any censorship issues....
-
Im not misreprensenting anything the law is aimed to stop copyright theft... people here have been moaning about copyright theft to the point of going to court...now theres a law promising to stop that and people start bleating about censorship...
Could it be thata few people realise that maybe theyre not going to be able to download their free music , films etc anymore ??
The forums were full of moans about copyright theft etc...now someone is going to try and put a stop to it... Surely theyre giving the people on these forums what they wanted...or deserved....
-
What a laugh for ages we've had people on these forums droning on about people stealing their ideas and designs even going to court... Now they've got a law designed to stop it and another gang are moaning.... god bless america land of the corporate and the free
-
Seems everyone here wants laws which do what they want without the side effects.....
-
Come on Anne dont talk tosh...everywhere on the mainland Ive lived Ive had a neigbour who was a real pain in the backside...nutters too most of em.....
-
Do you send people wearing jack boots and armed with teargas and truncheons to evict these naughty people ?? Its nice to see Linden encouraging a realm of feudal lords within its domain
-
Dont pay more than 1 linden per sq metre......
-
Lol Rodvik they got some wild horses to drag you here at last
:D -
Why dont you try sending a query to Lindens and see what they say ...
Do let us know their response won't you ?
After all THEY are supposed to be the experts
-
And the problem isn't that my posts are deja vu , but the people citing lag problems are...and why - because lindens dont tackle the issue... it's up to non- lindens staff to try and do the job lindens should be doing and if pointing out the generally lacking nature of the company makes mr mister grumpy pants rather than a disatisfied paying customer Im sure that helps lindens off the hook again.
-
Hello Mr Grumpy pants here again !!
So basically penny what youre saying is that the resources allocated by lindens aren't high enough or the script system they put in place is prone to use in such a way that it causes lag...
therefore the ones to blame are linden labs and really its up to them to tighten up on these issues and sort them out. So really people are on the basis of what youre saying right in blaming lindens because basically its their system which is prone to 'misuse'

Id be happy with 99% hollowing of prims, larger prims, a new range of polygonal prims ( I think its barmy the maths you have to go through to get a correctly sized equilateral triangle) with a menu that correctly reflcts the sizes of the sides of the polygons and more ways of varying the angles.
I also think its quite ludicrous that tapering prims can only be achieved through a limited number of axes and a fixed set of angles. The torus can only be reduced to a cetain width if you look at its cross section and the supposed 95% hollowing of the tetrahedral prim is still nothing like 95% rendering it usless in the construction of buildings especially in futuristic builds where a correctly hollowed tetrahedra would be a fantastic addition....
And when are we going to be able to add text to prims ?? I may not have the desire to become a whizz with the technology of mesh but I have the imagination to see new ideas and ways of making inworld building more interesting ...and that comes simply from the experience of inworld building and wanting to achieve more with a system whose basis I already know and understand and which I would be more useful to the majority of builders in sl...
