  1. 1. Convert the value to a string variable. 2. Use llSubStringIndex(my_number,".") to find the decimal point. 3. Delete the substring that begins one character after the decimal point.
  2. The cache to clear is your browser's cache. Also, turn off your AdBlocker software, if you have it. As a last resort, use a different web browser. Some combination of those tactics ought to do the trick. As an aside, many SL residents (like me) have a separate gmail account that is only for SL messages. That keeps all the forwarded IMs and other stuff from getting mixed in with family and business e-mail. It also makes it easy to delete whole chunks without accidentally deleting non-SL stuff. You might think about that.
  3. Here are a couple of possibilities: Linden Lab does not accept e-check (bank account) payments through PayPal because they cannot be processed quickly enough to match the instant delivery of virtual goods and services. Therefore, we require that you have a credit card on file with PayPal as a backup payment source, OR that you pay with your PayPal balance in USD. Without a sufficient USD balance in your PayPal account, you will not be able to use it with only a bank account. Be aware of your monthly limits. By default, your monthly spending limit with PayPal is set to US$250.00. You can easily raise or lower that limit. See Using PayPal for more information.
  4. Probably. They all have a California look to me, but I always figured that because LL is in San Francisco and that's what they are used to.
  5. This is a virtual world. Any clothing you see for sale is for your avatar. So is everything else for sale in SL's in-world shops or Marketplace. We have some extremely talented creators here. :smileyvery-happy:
  6. Five easy steps: 1. Stand in your home 2. Pick up all your stuff, one thing at a time (NOT all of it at once) 3. Open World >>. About Land >>> General (or click the Land button at the top of your screen) 4. Click Abandon Land. 5. Register for a new Linden Home in the style you prefer. You can do this up to 5 times a day if you really want to.
  7. Be sure that you have set both Object Entry and Run Scripts to group only on your parcels, not just Build. A griefer does not need to be on your sim to throw things onto it. He could easily be next door, on a different sim, launching objects across the boundary. It should be easy enough for you to identify the person who owns the objects. Consider submitting an Abuse Report before you send them back, especially if this happens over and over again. I doubt that you are dealing with a Linden, but that should be easy enough to see as well, just from the person's name. Anyone else cannot have "God" powers to override the permission system, even a Linden on his time off with a personal account.
  8. You are already age verified. You did that when you registered as a new resident of RL. Linden Lab assumes that the birthdate you entered is correct. You would only have a problem if they found out later that it was not correct. The Payment Ifno indicator simply tells whether you have indicated a way that you will be paying for any bills in SL --- whether they are bills for Premium membership, land fees, or purchases in world or in Marketplace. Once you have entered PayPal or credit card information through your dashboard at secondlife.com, the fact that you have done it will show up there.
  9. Check to see if things are still in the Received Items folder in inventory. If not, click the Recent tab, and look to see what was added recently. You may need to reset filters to look back a day or two. It shouldn't be all that hard to figure out which new items are the missing gifts. Of course, the other way to find out is to ask the person who sent them ....:smileywink:
  10. You should understand that this is a resident-to-resident Answer service. Lindens never come here, and probably very rarely even drop by to read threads. We are all SL residents, like you. You should also understand that this is a public forum, so it's probably not a good idea to post your phone number here unless you want to get on someone's spam robocall list. Now..... By "soft linked", I assume that you mean you created a coalesced object by picking up several objects together and taking them to inventory as a single entity. That's a tricky operation, with potential problems if it contains either Linden trees or no-copy items. Personally, I try to avoid both. The next time you do this, too, it is good to remember to be sure to open your Build/Edit tool first, before you try to rez the coalesced object in its new location. If you remember to do that, you will be able to manipulate the entire object as a single entity and not risk having its parts lost or scattered. The first thing to do is check the new sim's garbage collector, in the SW corner at <0.0,0.0,0.0>. That's where the servers dump things by default if they can't figure out what else to do. That can be problematic for a coalesced object, because it means that its components might have been scattered over the other three sims bordering that corner. The better possibility (and the one to hope for) is that your own inventory cache was fouled up because the servers were trying to do too many things at once, so the missing items really are still there --- just not visible. You can find out by clearing your cache carefully and "manually". Here's how >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear IMO, the most important sentence in those instructions is the one that says, "While inventory repopulates, do not teleport anywhere, and do not attempt to access anything in your inventory." Just be patient.
  11. What error? You didn't tell us anything about an error message. We cannot help unless you give us more information. What happens when you try to log in? Exactly what error message do you get? What is the last thing that the viewer does before it fails? Tell us about your computer too. What kind of computer is it? What graphics card does it have. How are you connected to the Internet? If you want to provide extra information or need to clarify your question, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do not start a new thread. Doing that makes it hard for us to see what other people have already suggested, and it pushes other residents' questions off the page.

    No. All 3D software is independent of Second Life, so it does not "support" SL in any way. If you are modeling for SL, you can use any modelling program that can export a Collada.dae file. However, if you are looking for "easy" 3D modelling software, you will not find it. Modelling in 3D is difficult, so you will have to study and practice a lot with ANY software that you find. Blender is most commonly-used by people in SL, probably because it is not only a GOOD program, it is also FREE.

    @ interessantemulher Se você tem um problema não-técnica relacionada a preocupacões de faturamento, você pode chamar a equipe de faturamento Linden Lab para os seguintes números toll-free: EUA / Canadá: +01 800-294-1067 Portugal: 800-814-450 Brasil: 0800-762-1132 Longa distância (não é livre, mas você pode usar o Skype para poupar algum custo): 703-286-6277 ** Nota: O suporte é oferecido apenas em Inglês
  14. No. You can only transfer items for which you have Transfer permission. (Hence the name). If you do have transfer permission, you can either drag/drop the items from inventory onto the other person's Av or nametag, or (safer) you can send things in an IM.
  15. Yes, a very small number of people who are either very talented or who work full time in SL can make money. If you have a special talent as a creator (a graphic artist, a scripter, an animator, a builder....) or as a performer (a musician, a DJ, a dancer .....), then you can certainly make enough L$ to pay your in-world expenses. Creators either sell their work though shops in world or in the Marketplace, or they produce custom work on contract to other SL residents. To be successful, though, you have to have experience and be familiar enough with how SL works to run a competitive business here. In almost all cases, you could earn much more money doing the same things in RL than you can in SL. There are ways to make small amounts of money as well (by winning games, for example), but they usually have a small yield. See here for a good summary of possible ways to earn money in SL. The bottom line is that if you need money, you are better off getting a job in RL and buying L$. You can earn enough making hamburgers for an hour to live very comfortably in SL. Not only that, but you won't have to work here; you'll be able to relax and enjoy yourself. The only really good reason to work in SL is because you enjoy working. BTW, you might want money, but don't need it in SL. You don't have to buy food. You don't have to sleep under a bridge. You can get loads of good quality things free, and you can make many things yourself. Even your basic membership is free.
  16. Or look at any of the multi-page dialog scripts in the LSL Scripting Library here. Most of them include that order_buttons routine
  17. You may build if ---- You own the land and pay monthly tier. (If you are on a private sim, you also need to obey the sim owner's covenant.) You are on a friend's land and you have his permission to build. You are on land owned by your group and you have the group's permission to build. You are in a public sandbox and want to build something temporary (but not a place to sell things) Otherwise, you may not build. If you build in a place where the landowner has forgotten to prevent building, your objects will almost certainly be returned when the landowner finds them.
  18. Where are you trying to do that? Are you already logged in to SL, using a downloaded an installed viewer, or are you trying to enter SL from your web browser? If you are trying to enter from your web browser, then the problem is that your browser doesn't know what to do with the peculiar URLs that we call SLURLs. Your viewer should have taught the browser when it was installed, but something may have happened since then. Each browser is different, so I can't give you specific instructions, but here's how you fix things in Firefox: Click the Tools menu, then Options >>> Applications Scroll down the list until you see Secondlife in the left-hand column. There should be a drop-down menu in the right-hand column next to it. Use that drop-down menu to locate your viewer on your hard drive. Close the menus. Other browsers have different ways of doing that, but the functionality should be there. If that's not the problem you are dealing with, but it's an in-world teleport issue, please come back here and explain more. If you want to provide extra information or need to clarify your question, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do not start a new thread. Doing that makes it hard for us to see what other people have already suggested, and it pushes other residents' questions off the page.
  19. You have flipped the normals on those faces, so they are turned the wrong way. Go back into Blender and flip them the other way. When you are creating in Blender, it is always wise to turn on the Backface Culling option so that you can see when you hav make this mistake. You can also choose to display the face normals themselves, which serves the same purpose.
  20. Try: 1. Disabling your AdBlocker software 2. Clearing your browser's cache 3. If those don't work, try using a different web browser
  21. Open Appearance mode and click Edit Shape >>> Body. Scroll down to the very last slider (Hover). Adjust that slider to raise yourself out of the ground. To make this work, you must be wearing a shape that you have MOD permission on.
  22. In any viewer, you ought to be able to go to Preferences >> Sound & Media and click the Manage Media Sites button to see your list of blocked/approved URLs. Do any updates there and close the window.
  23. We cannot recommend specific merchant or services here in Answers. If you are looking for someone to make that dress, the place to post is the InWorld Employment forum.
  24. The challenge, as you noted, is that you can't register more than 5 accounts from the same IP address without special permission. Amethyst's solution may be your easiest way out this time, although it means your students will all be coming in world at random places and without your guidance. Linden Lab has always facilitated class enrollments in the past, but they need lead time. Frankly, it has been a while since I followed the last conversations about the process, but if you post a query in the SLED group, you will get guidance from faculty who have done it before.

  25. I don't think you can get the uploader to acept an image unless it's in PNG, JPG, or GIF format, but maybe I'm wrong. If you uploaded in some other format, maybe that would explain it. Assuming that you are sure you uploaded the correct file (I have uploaded the wrong one a couple of times ........).
