[Is it Possible to save an entire avatar?]

Hi, with the link system and the outfits folder, explained by Chic, you can do exactly this.

Wear all you want, shape skin shirt shoes, then save this as an outfit. This creates a new folder with links to all the items; links are needed if you have no copy rights to use them in several outfits.

Then you replace one outfit by another, this can turn you from a wolfe into a sexy human or ... with all shape hair skin.

[Profilation laws/rules ToS?]

Yes that´s true but! offended people (or only if they feel so) can do alot harm to you or just cause major pain/troubles.

You cannot name avatars on the official forums but outside you can do whatever you feel. We had some big drama going on even stick to that rules 100%.

My rule is never use names no matter where  and if someone asks to remove the picture i just blurr their faces. Works perfect in RL so should do for SL. This way you can keep the pictures online without destroy them.

After all the years on SL (avoiding other social media platforms like the pest) i learned to only have the good drama ;-)

Monti

[Profilation laws/rules ToS?]

According to the second part, i wouldn´t say you can use their names and the part of "recognizable", even without the nametag showing, is a tricky one.

RL photographers know about this funny law, it´s exact same there just no one has a nametag or walks around as a giant furry ;-)

If the main part of your picture shows a crowd of people in a public venue, without focussing on single avatars, that should be safe.

[i cant access my account and no one has been on my account can you fix this please]

Hello, no one here can do anything. It´s all users like you no official LL members. (well usually)

This looks like you got IP-banned, or someone else using your IP, if you don´t feel guilty.

[if can banned account back again?]

You received an email telling you that your account was banned (time period no real reason).

In this email you get the adress to contact if you think you have been banned unfair.

Check your spam-folder too, often Linden emails go there for whatever reasons.

Or try these: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/How-to-contact-customer-support/ta-p/739385

[I accidentally deleted a folder from my received inventory, is there anyway of getting it back]

Usually, deleted stuff goes into the Trashcan.

If you emptied the trash then it´s like RL - gone!

[Imported rigged mesh is clipping through avatar]

Your shirt can fit in Blender and SL, but the SL Avatar keeps moving and bending then this morphing problem occurs (explained earlier)

Try to have a steady T-Pose on a posestand and do the weight part for all sizes is a pain.

[Second Life Tod?]

Natuerlich hat sich die Popularitaet verringert. Es ist Sommer, Ferien und duzende anderer Spiele sind frisch erschienen.

Nicht zu vergessen die FB und Twitter Freunde denen SL einfach zu aufwaendig ist ;-)

Es sind weniger die technischen Probleme, wie Syo sagt, die gab es schon immer und waren auch schon viel schlimmer.

Restarts die einen halben Tag dauerten oder Haare am Ars... nacht dem Teleportieren.

SL wird nicht so schnell sterben aber es ist viel langweiliger geworden oder wir einfach erwachsener.

[I am interested in becoming a DJ in SL, I'm a complete beginner with this, can anyone help me out?]

Radio without talking ? There´s 1000 of stations alredy, no one needs another.

Running 24/7 would need aloooot music and a good planning.

Again, if you cannot afford the software or the stream, nor buy the music or apply for a radio license - NO !

This can causes serious troubles costing you 1000s US$, so just not worth it.

[How to make a mesh face alpha/invisible?]

Use different colors/materials in the creation software.

In SL apply a transparent texture to the parts you want to be invisible. Same with prim-faces. [select]->[select faces] ...

Monti

[Looking for Mesh artist and pricing info! [Slightly non-PG]]

Problem could be that the common mesh-creator doesn´t have your skin texture, so cannot ensure the shirt-skin-part matches the rest of your body (in this case only the neck/head)

If you can provide the texture for the skin part, edit your thread and add this info. That could give you a big chance someone will do.

Monti

[Gambling policy - Pay for access?]

Of course only LL can answer this.

But if the players can swap points into money (L$ or US$) then it´s no difference to all other skilled games direct using money.

Monti

[Marketplace is for Scammers/copybotters these days]

Hi, you didn´t name anyone and kept your language straight but not harmful so i doubt the post violates any of the TOS.

You wondered about the creator isn´t the same as the merchant. Think about the thousands of people in SL who would never know about. It´s a big market selling stolen goods. 

Relisting however is against the TOS and can be reported but very often these people use throw-away avatars and after a ban they just keep on with a new.

This isn´t only a SL problem it´s an internet problem. Funny part, Lindens earn money from good or bad and they (like any other internet company) won´t give back. Just saying ...

Monti

[Who would I need to contact at Linden Labs regarding a business that deals with racism?]

Being a lawyer, advocate or policemen in SL is impossible. Only Lindens have the power to deal with and they won´t transfer that permission to others. You can only control the land you own.

Lindens won´t let you look into what how or if they deal with an AR and the one abused have to file the AR. Of course if more people complain about the same things happen it is likely that LL take action.

The only help you can offer is to mute, derender and ignore abusive people and avoid place that usually hosts them - like welcome areas or help islands.

Monti

[Is this possible with Scripting?]

Scripts cannot browse an Avatars Inventory.

But it could list all the texture inside the vendor. List by owner is another story. Easier would be, textures dropped into the prim/vendor would be renamed. Lots less scripting.

Monti

[Custom Avi]

Custom work isn´t cheap sure not free, but who knows maybe you are lucky.

Better place would be the wanted section in the commerce forum.

Monti

[Mesh Tips?]

Of course you right but you cannot set a certain amount for something. Depends on details and type.

With more and more mesh avatars and textures/system clothes replaced with mesh, even underwear socks bikinis ... the load on the servers go up anyway.

Example for an mesh dress. Use the standard SL dress layout then try to change into your design with as little more triangles as possible. Sometimes using the new texture methods applied on a high-count mesh then placed on a low-count model you get the same result.

It´s test, trial and error.

Monti

[Mesh Tips?]

Not really a simple answer so.

A house or a barn, trousers or a dress ...

Go around buy others products/demos that really impress you and see how many they needed.

Always try to need as little as possible.

Now with all jumping on mesh-avatars, good or bad designed, the prim-count won´t matter anymore ;-)

[Where are the hip hop clubs in sl?]

duplicate - More posts won´t give you better answers ;-)

[is sploders conseder gaming]

All "games" you have to pay to play or pay in to win or only have the option to pay to play are gaming.

Pretty straight.

[Duplicate mesh objects and lag]

Can the viewer determine copies of the same ?

If yes then by name or .... because even copies have their own UUID.

Would be interesting to get insights from the programmers. LL or maybe Firestorm.

[RUDE REVIEWS]

Right now, in my country, there are some RL cases where ppl left nasty bad reviews for Restaurants or Doctors ...

That´s the new world. Foul language is easy because they feel safe with hiding their identity. Big companies have mechanics to remove this bad reviews automatically. That isn´t real and fair but shows how serious the problem is.

I never give that much about reviews because i learned what they are worth - even the super duper ones are usually fakes.

One big problem is that people being mad more likely speak out their thoughts. Happy buyers just use the product and get on...
