  1. ya do know there is a very underused quote button, right? and had you considered perhaps I (or others) might not care to be found inworld for all the unpopular opinions we voice here, or to have OUR time we assign to work or enjoyment interupted? I also have another ulterior motive... I would the message (whatever it happened to be) to stand on it's own as much as possible, separate from the person saying them.... because I don't have the same focus inworld, or in person as I do on this forum. yes, still me, but a differnt part of me PS but like I said, I do plan to tweak it, just a matter of priorities
  2. dunno, but the quote spellcheck, preview, and macro functions aren't working from the V2 webkit either... and because the mousovers fail, I can't edit a post either....
  3. if you aren't sure in advance of the format, that seems as good as any of course i've seen so many formats (including the word "no") that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to try to parse it from a line that wasn't given in my own format....
  4. Oh I was just trying to cover all my ancestries and see if a stealth Godwin would get by PS posting from inside of SL has lost it's amsument factor now
  5. it would appear not well, not entirely... you have to actually write html, and the mouseover menus fail to work.
  6. whoops, so it does.... I note that the bad line you quote doesn't appear to be in the source you posted above? (I can honestly say I've never used the CSV functions, so I meade the easy error) glad you have everything working now
  7. position = localPos + (offset - offset * arc) * localRot; rotation = arc * localRot; where arc = the amount to rotate by and offset = the point it will rotate around
  8. make sure there are no spaces or mispelling in your notcard data, by forcing it to lower case, and removing all spaces... that's not the problem here, but you reall should do those checks second and this is where your problem is here, csv (comma seperated value) to list is breaking up your position vectors and rotations, because..... (wait for it....) they have commas in them! instead you want to use something like notCSV = llParseString2List( llList2String( tmp, 1 ), ["<"], [] ); and then pull your values out with (rotation)("<" + llList2String( notCSV, 0 )) (vector)("<" + llList2String( notCSV, 1 )) and while you're at it save yourself a headache and record them in the notecard in the order they'll be used in the script... position, then rotation ETA: original unspaced post was made from withing SL testing new ideas, sorry about that
  9. there is indeed: llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast (alternatively, I think you can set the texture for the parcel media to your sculptmap, then play a flash video of the other sculptmaps in sequence which will animate the sculpted object similarly)
  10. could be... a role play group (play along if you like otherwise ignore them) a product update group (should be pretty harmless, ignore them) an estate security group (listen to them if you are on their estate, otherwise ignore them) a vigilante group (some offer helpful information, but most aren't much better than griefers, and can ruin your reputation if you let them stick around) in all cases, if they bother you and won't back off after being asked to, it's your land, ask them to leave, then eject/ban/AR if they don't comply if it's not, inform the owner, and AR them (note: banning you is NOT harassment, so don't bother filing an AR for that) if it's public land, AR them into oblivion
  11. but that's just my point phil... it doesn't matter what name is attached... because people associate the image with the content.... and who cares what my name is... so that when they see the image again, any opinions, conclusions, or feelings about the previous content associated with the same image are automatically applied to the next post.... even if I change my name. lemme give you an example... take the iconic red and white swirl of the Coca-Cola logo.... or their distinctive bottle shape... not only could nearly anyone you show it to name the product, but they also have an automatic reaction to it... like, dislike, thirst, a memory... that they otherwise would not have if you just said the name, or it was read in print. That's how brand recognition works... human being are highly visually and aurally oriented, which is why a catchy tune can evoke the same effects. a name is only important if you want to identify the content to yourself; and requires a layer of abstraction. If you want to solidly link the qualities of the content, you do it visually... for good or ill, the image tells the viewer that the content will come from a similar viewpoint as any of the previous content... you will likely have the same reaction to it, and it' will probably be of similar quality... and that sensation will come automatically. I'm not saying everyone realizes that, even subconsciously. But I know I certainly do, and it's why I prioritized getting the familiar image up there, but haven't prioritized making the name more readable
  12. well homesteads share a processor, so there could be a shared memory issue where theose avatars data is being rendered to all the homesteads on that processor.... next time ask them if they are on a homestead region at that very moment.
  13. interesting software, but it doesn't seem to pick up on things like SLang and skips things like PI_BY_TWO, or PRIM_ROT_LOCAL, or the missing capitalization at the beginning of the post. Yes, that's with all options enabled.
  14. no we won't... not unless you can post in two colors at once (because I could read your name just fine in this wonderful blue goo) @Phil: I think you are heavily discounting the value of visual identity.... for instance, my own badge icon doesn't leave my name as the most readable (I've been meaning to update it actually), but the image is the same one I've used in two prvious incarnations of these forums... it's recognizable in a sort of instaneous way that my text name never will be. you could say that my preference is identifying ME within the forum, over identifying my NAME in a forum... it's a bit like brand recognition, and consistency is key to that... this way people can attach a value to that easily recognizable image not to say that I don't sympathize... I do. it can be overdone... for instance the tendency to over hype visual information by locking it into videos, where you can't easily skip over content that is irrelevant to you (whereas in text you have a fair overview and can skip the "noise"). but for building a consistent identity? picture trumps text pretty much every time.

  16. the elements in the list linked above that say they support "class" attribute actually support "style" attribute instead.
  17. oh someone will beat me for this... I just know it.... here's the absolute worst (but simplest) way to do it..... if (data == EOF) { llSay(0, "No more lines in notecard, read " + (string)iLine + " lines."); kQuery = llGetNotecardLine( thenote, iLine = 0); } else {
  18. technically, the if/If suggestion is correct, but you would think the stupid thing would have been preloaded with some of the more common SLang. PS@OP's sig if you have enough energy and breath left to giggle afterwards, I don't think much of you partners skills I do miss the ability to use the local spellcheck which I've taught to behave and understand all the LSL keywords. th only way I can get it to work here is to use HTML view (in which case I have to teach it html syntax) or to turn off rich text editing entirely...
  19. Phil Deakins wrote: [...] My guess is that they do notice but the desire to use the particular graphic is stronger than the desire for people to know who they are. you're looking at it wrong... the people that desire to the image more than the name have realized that the image is almost always more recognizable than the name... so they actually want to make it EASIER to identify their posts assuming of course that they aren't just using Cerise's rather wonderful "blue goo" stylesheet theme which eliminates the problem entirely by adding a white glow effect around names, and a slight drop shadow to stats.
  20. in RL I can curse with enough strength to make a german artist cringe, vulgar enough to make a scottish sailor blush, in enough detail to make an irishman pub owner proud, and with enough underlying subtlety to make cherokee casino managers wary.... My mother can and does trump me on all counts.... where do you think i learned? ...but it's not as much fun to have to type all that out so I generally don't bother while typing inworld.
  21. and I probably should have mentioned that I have one mouse button programed to alt+tab, another to alt+F4, and the whel click is programmed to shift (so I can open links in new windows, and shift+scroll moves you through the history of the current window) it's a setup I came up with back before popup blockers were included, so that I could close them as fast as they opened while browsing.
  22. deformer animations are very limited in what they can accomplish, and generally it's better to cover up the limbs with prims to mask any problems with offsets. I personally can't help you with your problem, but the folks over in animation forum might have a more detailed fix for you.
  23. you will probably not be able to get your money back. generally when the website says "profile disabled" it means that either LL banned the account, or the owner of the account closed it. you can try filing a ticket here, and also filing an inworld abuse report (help menu, choose category "L$ fraud")
  24. I would assume that most people cut and paste those in from unicode website generators or by copying the ones used by other people.... some characters may not be available, or may be duplicated in a higher unicode range and only available there.
