::waves @ Loki:: if you are using the web based one, you might try opening up your profile in non-v2 based viewer and editing your oldstyle profile there... AFAIK those haven't been wiped ever, and they should propogate to the web based version.

the message start tells me that it is an object name "." repeating what is said on channel 1 (and perhaps other channels). open chat hist, an click on the name of the object(".") to locate the object (and tell who the owner is)... if it is yours, you can remove or return it, if it is not, you can mute it, or it's owner. if neither of those options are effective, you can speak to the owner, or you can abuse report the object, and pray for someone to do something about it quickly.

::blushes:: thanks guys... I think the system IS active, but you need to have a certain user level to give them out, which, I think might be related to the number of solutions provided (confirmend: need to be at least "resident" status) I do note that the FAQ says it's active for SL ANSWERS (although I don't see the option here myself), so we may not be able to give them for forum posts, or those may be limited to OP's (as noted in the FAQ, we won't know till someone with that rank can report on the effort I know I've tried to give out kudos too, and failed, but obviously Cerise has received at least one, so it's working somewhere

if you mean mp4 video, then the problem is that there is an authentication token that youtube installed, and must be current ant part of the URL for the stream.(you tube keeps changing how this works so it can be tricky) if you mean that others are seeing these videos and you are not (when both of you are trying to view at the same time), it's possible that the video in question is blocked for your country/location. if you have access to the url for the video try opening it in your normal web browser to see if this is the problem. (if it is, there isn't much that can be done) if neither of those is the problem, and you are able to watch the same videos with v2 or another viewer, than contact Phoenix Support (they have a wiki, and inworld help group which is almost always staffed)

I can confirm Beverly's method works, although I can't remember if it survives region resets or region crossings.... you can check for those ing the changed event, by hard coding the groups key into the script, then checking it is still the same in the changed event when CHANGED_REGION, or CHANGED_REGION_RESTART is triggered with a call to llList2String( llGetObjectDetails( llGetKey(), [OBJECT_GROUP] ), 0 ); if it fails to match, have it tell you with llInstantMessage( llGetOwner(), "I am broken" ); which will go to your e-mail if you are offline, and have messages set to go to e-mail when you aren't inworld

I didn't realize it at first, but the pre tags have been broken by css (to make them compatible with quoting I guess). they will preserve spaces, but instead of extending the scroll bar, they wrap.... BUT, I found a fix.... just after the opening pre tag add <span style="white-space: pre;">, and before the close pre tag add </span> so that you end up with: <pre><span style="white-space: pre;">my carefully formated code that should not be wrapped goes here</span></pre> ps delete the class attribute from pre tags that are posted code from the LSL Portal to get the to preview, and to post without complaining first.

::has no idea what Peter is talking about:: =)

Allows more than 12 button on a dialog by breaking them up into pages and adding page change buttons as neededSupports up to 22 pages safely (220 items in the list)Corrects the button order to [left to right, top to bottom]Automatically wraps around from the last and first pagesMuliple silmultaneous users posibleRequires the button text(s) to be in a global list named gLstMnu (which you can fill however you like) this function does NOT check that button text is valid (0 < button_text_length < 25), that's your job list uDlgBtnLst( integer vIdxPag ){ list vLstRtn; if ((gLstMnu != []) > 12){ //-- we have more than one possible page integer vIntTtl = -~((~([] != gLstMnu)) / 10); //-- Total possible pages integer vIdxBgn = (vIdxPag = (vIntTtl + vIdxPag) % vIntTtl) * 10; //-- first menu index string vStrPag = llGetSubString( " ", 21 - vIdxPag, 21 ); //-- encode page number as spaces //-- get ten (or less for the last page) entries from the list and insert back/fwd buttons vLstRtn = llListInsertList( llList2List( gLstMnu, vIdxBgn, vIdxBgn + 9 ), (list)(" «" + vStrPag), 0xFFFFFFFF ) + (list)(" »" + vStrPag); }else{ //-- we only have 1 page vLstRtn = gLstMnu; //-- just use the list as is } return //-- fix the order for [L2R,T2B] and send it out llList2List( vLstRtn, -3, -1 ) + llList2List( vLstRtn, -6, -4 ) + llList2List( vLstRtn, -9, -7 ) + llList2List( vLstRtn, -12, -10 ); }example usage: llDialog( Target_avatar_key, text_for_dialog_header, uDlgBtnLst( 0 ), chat_channel_to_use );to detect the next page button use the following format listen( integer vIntChn, string vStrNom, key vKeySpk, string vStrMsg ){ if (!llSubStringIndex( vStrMsg, " " )){ //-- detects (hidden) leading space of page change buttons llDialog( vKeySpk, "your dialog text goes here", uDlgBtnLst( llStringLength( vStrMsg ) + llSubStringIndex( vStrMsg, "»" ) - 2 ), vIntChn ); }else{ //-- button was not a page button, your code goes here, //-- use (llListFindList( gLstMnu, (list)vStrMsg ) / 10) for remenu command if present } }

in addition to using PRIM_ROT_LOCAL like Talarus says, you may also want to consider using a half cut prim, or offcentered sculpt, so that you can eliminate the change in position, and only need a change in rotation.

yummy.... and about time

check you settings in your forum profile, and set it to show your full name, rather than hide... the dot will disappear. @actual topic: I had the following NEW issues with this build outfit folders disabled replace when missing skin elements (already noted) view admin options disabled, which was the simplest way to access freeze/eject commands and help people configure estate settings... I don't need to request admin status, but I DO need to acces the tools I am legitimately supposed to used shadow menu settings also disabled, and failed to work when manually enabled from debug framerates were less than half of the same settings in 1.42 snowglobe (under 15 vs 35+, in ultra + ani+8xAA) one minute long hang when closing. thanks for the following though... letter keys open chat (now can we keep the history window opaque so I can read it?) autoupdate (finally I can put some of my idle bandwidth to use) external editor support (needs alternate file extension support though) ui still needs massive work though... UI elements need to be configurable, if by skinning if nothing elsethis would mean digging the UI out of the code and unifying it in a sensible manner no forced UI elements (I don't want to just tear off those sidebar tabs and top bars, I want to CLOSE them size adjustment (UI elements are oversized for their info, all picture ratio's have increased, i'd like to control that) contrast/visibility (if nothing else, offer a mosre contrasted option, light transparent grey on lighter transparent grey is about as legible as the lords pryer on a grain of rice at 50m through antique stained glass)

Scripting Library could use another link...Other Wiki, Library, and Editor Resources which I've been maintaining in the Featured Discussions for people to add resources to the thread (and I've been updating the OP with them).... I could actually add the current content into there, or leave it be. I'd think something like this for Texturing would be nice (Chosen Few will probably volunteer to help with that).... Building might be another one in dire need... Chosen or perhaps Rolig Loon might want to undertake that. several of us know how to manipulate featured content to add things... unfortunately I don't think anyone can remove things (perhaps a linden?) which would allow us to do similar for things like discussion view (which keeps original post titles, and shows original authors and reply count.

I've found this is also sometime a region problem... if you haven't already, do the clear cache dance and when you relog, log to a different sim, wait for your surroundings to rez, then try. it probably won't work, but since you've already tried wiping out everything on your end, the next step is to change things on LL end.

geez I know they were desperate to can the LSO VM but that's..... insane

while storing the variable is helpful space and speed wise, it may not be useful in all paradigms... it will require that you detect changes to the owner and reset the script each time a new owner is detected.... this can be tedius in multi state scripts. however if you do things like listen for the owner, then it's not going to hurt since you needed a reset to deal with that anyway (because it would listen to the old owner otherwise)..... overall I wouldn't use a variable unless it replaces at least 3 constants or calls to that particular function, unless for some reason you're using it in a long loop, in which case I'd think you should look at THAT problem first.

nope, scroll up to the top of this page, on the left side of the first post is a box labeled "Actions", the second item down should be "recieve email notifications" (it may be first, I have an "edit this thread" link above it) ETA: ;the link is only for the thread you are in, it really should be labeled that way, but you do get a little message explaining that if you click it, oh and sorry for the spam =P ps why oh why must this forum insist on starting a new paragraph with every return....

then you all have my sincere apologies for the extra spam.... and once you have disabled the feature for all threads you CAN selectively turn it back on for specific threads, when viewing the thread,in the action bar at the top of the thread to the left....

A: some one with permission to do so edit moved it. (like if you forgot to lock it, someone turned it physical and phantom, etc ad nauseam) B: it's scripted and either got "lost" or exibited. C: SL went buggy (mis calcuated position due to region glitch, etc ad nauseam). of more simply... someone else caused it, or LL caused it. "why are my shoes in my ass?", "why is there a box on my head?"

there MIGHT be a tiny hair of truth to the rumor, but I doubt it... that tiny hair would be in the fact that some last names are only available through some sites, making those sites unique sources, some of which lie in different countries and/or are language specific. LL MIGHT handle those sites/sources differently (but I seriously doubt it without some real evidence). it is possible to guess where someone might have signed up for a few names (IIRC Gossipgirl is one of the exclusives as an example). and I think there are a few that are unique to non-english portals. as a longtime scripter in SL I've done a lot of avatar key comparisons to test unique was to store only partial keys to save space, and never seen any trends like that.

Meade.Paravane wrote: /me too. I care that it works and that it's not more difficult to use. Period. I think LL does not understand that this is what most forumites are unhappy about. I think they perceive the anger as coming from us being in luv with vBulletin or not wanting to lose the history. Unfortunately I have the same feeling... if they'd said, "hey were moving to phpBB but we have to dump all the old content to a separate archive" I'd be celebrating and so would almost every other forum goer... because we know we'd immediately have the same functionality and ease of use, probably with a ton of improvements... it's the functionality that matters... sadly the ONLY really simple and effective way for me to find this thread is to hit my user page, and I'd be SOL if it fell off that list.... I'd have to hope I remembered the title and try to pull it via google... and neither tells me there's new replies, so I have to keep polling it to check even when there's nothing new... the only other alternative is an all or nothing spam fest on my email... neither option is ideal, and both use unnecessary bandwidth both for LL and me. it's been suggested that LL is trying to reduce bandwith with this, and I suppose in a roundabout way, they might eventually... because the navigation is so arcane compared to similar products, users will go where it's easier... that's not good for anyone, LL included for a variety of reasons. PS My apologies to anyone who gets spammed by my edits (do you?) I keep finding last second problems to correct because there's no preview and I keep forgetting to drop into html view and add a horizontal rule to separate my signature from the text.... I figure it's confusing enough with some peoples sigs

Can you tell me more about how you used the editor instead? you mean to post code here? click on the editor icon that looks like a blue >> symbol, coose "syntax highlighting", then "plain" then paste your code into the quote space. or you can paste the code into your message to begin with, highlight it all (which can be tricky) and use the above steps =) Meade.Paravane wrote: ETA: this entire posting was about comparing resources SLA vs the forums, response time, interest generated, completeness of answers, etc in the process I discovered that it's also a fun and engaging way to tutor on scripting... and may take up the format again at a later time Though scripting is a HUGE part of the forums, I'd also like to see other forums heavies doing the same thing. Chosen, Desmond and/or Elanthius, Strife, Mari, Jopsy, Domino, etc... Maybe somebody can wake Chip up, too. I'm not looking to "prove this is worse" or anything like that. I just think it's valuable to measure these things and understand the impact of LLs actions. I suspect LL doesn't quite get it yet. I did it strictly to see the differences, where one works better than the other, etc. largely as a way to point me in the direction of what's missing, and be linkable to me specifically should others want to see. I'm not looking at is as is one better than the other, I'm looking at is as a clue to what can be improved to make it all the best possible. Paladin.Pinion wrote: Void.Singer wrote: this entire posting was about comparing resources SLA vs the forums, response time, interest generated, completeness of answers, etc Share your findings? I was tempted to paste in the answers given in the forums, but I restrained myself. response time and interest weren't noticeably different for either, time to resolution and completeness of answer was vastly superior on the forum. that much was about what I expected, given forumites longer participation (I was pleseantly suprised by interest generated here). but it points out some basic issues... forumites have been avoiding this place with complaints of difficulty navigating, missing features, sloppy categorization, and other concerns... to the point where they'd rather go offsite than come here. hence why I expected faster response and completion in the forums. the lack of much general scripting traffic here at all tells me people with questions are also experiencing some of the same dificulties, as well as difficulties posting code. This sends them elswhere too. that overall trend is bad for people with questions, bad for the people who answer them, and bad for LL too (loss of content control, brain drain, user dissatisfaction, fractured user base, etc). I've said it before... I don't care what software LL users to facilitate it, on that it facilitates it the most efficient way possible, which by example, needs to be pretty much on par with forum software feature wise... at least in this type of environment. the only advantage I can see to the current setup in SLA is that you can dump old questions... because no one will be able to usefully access them since you can't usefully search the answers.... on the downside that means increased traffic because the same thing worded a little different gets asked over and over, and drowns out the unique new questions. forum softwares handle this by search and stickies, to cut down on repetitive content, leaving more room for unique content.

ok well the last error was TWO_PI being fed to sensor repeat, which isn't harmful in this case, but the assumption would hurt scripts that relied on it when trying to do less than a full sphere.... because sensor arcs in LSL are a radius, not a span, so the correct value for a full sphere is only PI enjoy your big cookie Johan ETA: this entire posting was about comparing resources SLA vs the forums, response time, interest generated, completeness of answers, etc in the process I discovered that it's also a fun and engaging way to tutor on scripting... and may take up the format again at a later time.

Congrats to Johan for finding the last compile error, you will get your big cookie in a moment I wanna give someone a chance to find the last subtle error. PS to Lylani, your change to Previous += ; would have eventually caused a stack heap collision as the list reached somewhere over 500 keys

yup that's part of it, still not compiling though... oh woe is me...=) ETA: I really need to remember to ad that horizontal rule at the bottom... ETA2: still not compiling Johan... what on earth could it be....

check on the float (it won't prevent compile, compiler inserts a cast int the sensor repeat event) though actually you can use an empty button list, and the viewer will insert an "OK" button. still doesn't compile... "oh won't someone please help newbie me fix this script?"
