Wow. Ghost prims are well-known, but I can't remember ever hearing of an avatar like that. And I can't imagine a cause. Have you posted in the in-world Firestorm support group? Or submitted a JIRA to the Firestorm JIRA site (aka the friendly JIRA)?

Doing that makes it hard for us to see what other people have already suggested, and it pushes other residents' questions off the page.

There are a couple of viewer bugs that you might have stumbled over.Take a look at these possible solutions >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_freezing

Good question. It sounds like a good place to avoid until whoever is in charge can clear it. There are a couple of griefer devices that will make your viewer crash by overloading your graphics card. In the extreme, they can actually damage you card, so they are worth avoiding if you can.

Not bad. Really the only thing that needs fixing (other than the particle commands in your two functions) is the syntax of the two if tests in your listen event. Try the exact wording I suggested in Answers. if (message == "suscon") and else if (message == "suscoff") ETA: Oh yes... the alpha and glow. llSetAlpha is straightforward enough. You shoudl be able to see that directly from the wiki. llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast can be confusing at first, though. That function needs two bits of information. One is the link number of the prim you are going to be changing. The other is a list of things you want to change -- in this case PRIM_GLOW. If you look in the wiki, you'll see that the syntax for PRIM_GLOW is [ PRIM_GLOW, integer face, float intensity ]. So your overall function call to set glow at 0.2, for example, has to be llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[PRIM_GLOW,ALL_SIDES, 0.2 ]);

Really, Steph? Wow. Try this, then. I just went in world to test, and it works just fine. default{ state_entry() { llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS); } run_time_permissions(integer perm) { if(PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS & perm) { llTakeControls( CONTROL_FWD | 0, TRUE, FALSE); } } control(key id, integer level, integer edge) { integer start = level & edge; integer end = ~level & edge; integer held = level & ~edge; if ( start & CONTROL_FWD ) { llSay(0,"I'm moving!"); } if ( end & CONTROL_FWD ) { llSay(0,"I just stopped moving!"); } if (held & CONTROL_FWD) { llSetPos(llGetPos() + <0.1,0.0,0.0>*llGetRot()); } }}

OK, I won't write it for you either. :smileywink: Since you asked for a poke in the right direction, let me suggest that everything you want to accomplish will have to be done in your script's listen event. That means that you have to open channel 7 first with llListen(7,"","","") somewhere else in the script first. Then, your listen event has to listen for the two possible responses and decide what to do when it hears either one. So, you'll need to test for if (message == "suscon") and then do the stuff appropriate to tht message and ask else if (message == "suscoff") and do that stuff. The "stuff" that you do will all be accomplished with a call to llSetAlpha and one to llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast, setting the parameter PRIM_GLOW . That should be enough of a poke. Check the LSL wiki for details, and post your script in the LSL Scripting forum if you get stuck.

Look in http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Regions-for-Sale-Full-Regions/bd-p/RegionsforSaleFullRegions or post a new request in http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Wanted-Full-Regions/bd-p/WantedFullRegions

When you write if ( level & CONTROL_FWD ) the condition reports TRUE as long as you are holding down the FWD arrow key. It's the same as writing if ( level & ~edge & CONTROL_FWD ) Try writing if ( level & edge & CONTROL_FWD ){ llSay(0,"I'm moving!");}if ( ~level & edge & CONTROL_FWD ){ llSay(0,"I just stopped moving!");} I can't get in world at the moment to test, but I think that will work.

Well, that's not the only thing that won't work, but you know that you still have parts to write. If all you want to do is check the detected av UUIDs against your whitelist, then you just need to make your access_list into a global list instead of making it local to the state_entry event and then replace the lines in your sensor event that say for (j = 0; j < count; j++){ if(llDetectedKey(j) "Diablo Difference","Sharraki","Isaiah Scorpio") //This won't work anyway, for two reasons { with for (j = 0; j < count; j++){ if(~llListFindList(access_list,[(string)llDetectedKey(j)])) { The immediate problem you will have (other than the fact that your dialog command won't do anything without a listen event) is that you will have a separate dialog popup box for each detected av. That will be confusing. Worse than that, only the last dialog box will be active. You also ought to ask yourself some questions about llSensorRepeat. 1. Why you are restarting the llSensorRepeat several times? 2. The no_sensor event will never be triggered if you are within range, and if you are not on the sim you won't hear its message anyway, so what do you expect to get from it? 3. Even if you were on the sim but out of sensor range, do you really want to have a dialog with a "Relax" button popping up every 15 seconds when nobody is around? Final note: It's always smart to be careful with formatting while you write. It's not just that neatness counts. It's easier to see mismatched brackets and spot things that are out of scope when you indent systematically. :smileywink:

A few other people have noticed that same problem here this week. See if it works outside SL itself at http://search.secondlife.com . You may find that it works best if you are using the Firefox browser.

I'm guessing, based on the OP's mention of a control panel (standard in Linden Homes) and the fact that he refers to a house style not being available for purchase ( a common complaint from Linden Home occupants). Actually, I should have pointed out in my post that it would be a real technical challenge to create ANY house with a floor plan that changes from a control panel. I can think of ways to do it, but they all involve either a holorezzer or an alarming land impact.

Loads of people run SL on Windows 8 with no trouble at all, so you either have a problem with the way Win 8 was installed on your computer or you have something else wrong with your SL viewer. Start with Win 8 ........ To quote our resident Win 8 expert, KarenMichelle Lane..... All Windows 8 Users 1) Manually apply ALL the Required and Important patches for Windows 8 from Microsoft. A new Win 8 PC needs 4-5 iterations of this to get them all. The easiest way to do this is to: a) Enter Desktop Mode b) Launch Internet Explorer c) Right-click on the options area of the Browser and turn on Menu & Status Bar [and any other of the old standards you like] d) Tools / Windows Update. e) Select the CUSTOM button so you can monitor and select the downloaded options to install e) Repeat until all are DL'd and installed Note: Don't install the Bing Desktop. Also, don;t install any Windows Live components unless you have an email account with Microsoft. 2) Identify the Video / Graphics system in your PC and get the Windows 8 drivers direct from the Video System manufacturer. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics 3) If you just performed the items 1) & 2) above, please reinstall SL again using the official version from Linden Lab. [be sure to do a clean install http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/How-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-Second-Life... Here is the Windows 8 Manual System File cleanup procedure since it's not in the procedure above. Windows 8 1.Using File Explorer -> Libraries / Computer / ( C: ) / Users / 2.Press the Continue button to get permission to obtain permanent permission edit this directory. 3.From the View drop-down menu option select Options & Change Folder & Search Options 4.Select the View Tab 5.Under the Hidden Files and Folders options click on the - O Show hidden files, folders & Drives radio button 6.Push the Apply Button then the OK button. 7.Open C:\Users\\AppData\Local and delete the contents of your Temp folder and the SecondLife folder. 8.Uninstall Second Life using the Programs and Features tool in the Windows Control Panel. 9.Download and install the latest release of the Second Life Viewer from http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/. You should be up and running in no time. P.S. I recommend these steps on all Windows 8 PC's and Laptops, specifically designed for Windows 8 with high-end Graphics Sub-Systems or Graphics Cards. P.S.S. - On Upgraded PC's & Laptops - If your computer was not designed specifically for Windows 7 or Windows 8 these steps may still help. There are many "Designed for Vista" PC's that don't upgrade well to Windows 8. If your PC was designed for Windows XP, Windows 8 is usually NOT a viable option, practically speaking.

It sounds like you had several problems and at least one misunderstanding. That message about not enough room to place an object usually means that you are trying to rez it in a small space or too close to a wall. Try just rezzing in the middle of the room and then moving your stuff. You can also get a similar message if someone else has been rezzing things on your parcel, using up your prim allowance. It's easy to see in World >>> About Land >>> Objects. Click the little Refresh button to get a list of people who own prims on your parcel. Then highliught the unwanted ones and click the Return button to send them back. Now the misunderstanding. You can't change the floor plan of your Linden Home. In fact, that's part of the covenant for Linden Homes: you are not allowed to alter the basic structure of your home. If you want a different style home, you have to abandon the one you have and apply for a new one. Second possible misunderstanding: There's no guarantee that the specific style home you prefer will be on the market when you are looking. That's just like RL. You either wait until someone moves out of theirs or until Linden Lab builds new homes in that style. Linden Homes turn over quite rapidly, so you shouldn't have to wait forever. And, of course, you can always use your land fee waiver on a mainland parcel that you buy and put your own custom house on......

Pay for a Premium membership. Sign-up bonus When you register for a premium account, you get a sign-up bonus of L$1,000, deposited directly into your Second Life account once your premium membership has been active for 45 consecutive days. Weekly Linden dollar rewards (stipend) As a premium member, you receive a weekly stipend of $L300, whether you log in or not. Stipends are paid every week by an automated process that runs on Tuesdays (PT). Payments are based on information gathered from the database as of the preceding Monday. For example: If you create a premium account on Monday, April 14, you will receive your first stipend on Tuesday, April 15. If you create a premium account on Tuesday, April 15, you will receive your first stipend on Tuesday, April 22. Note:Stipend payments may appear late in the day on Tuesdays or possibly not until Wednesday.

If you mean a Linden Home, they are all pretty much the same size, and all on the same 512 sq m. parcel. There are small size differences among the styles, but if you want something a LOT bigger you'll have to buy a parcel and put up your own house on it. You can abandon your Linden Home at any time. To do it... 1. Stand in your home. 2. Pick up all your stuff, one thing at a time (NOT all in one big lump). 3. Click World >>> About Land (or click the Land icon at the top of your screen). 4. Click the button that says Abandon Land. Then you can apply for a new home the same way you applied for this one. You can specify the style, but not the neighborhood or the specific house. You may change houses up to 5 times a day until you find one you like.

If it is not sim-specific, then it IS probably in something you are wearing. It may be transparent, or very small, or inside you, or the script may be in an attachment that you received recently --- hair, shoes, jewelry, an AO, .... In any case, you can mute it easily enough but to get rid of it you will need to find the thing and detach it. If you are using a viewer like Firestorm that has a Worn tab in Inventory, use it to identify every single prim attachment you are wearing. If your viewer doesn't have a Worn tab, type (WORN in the search box in you Inventory to list all attachments. (That's exactly as I typed it, without the closing parenthesis.) Start removing attachments one at a time until the message stops. Then either disable or destroy the item. The only other possibility is that some arcade came that you have been playing recently has decided to send you IMs. In that case, muting is your best option.

You're not resizing it. Do that in GIMP or Photoshop, or whatever your graphic art program is. All images in SL must have dimensions that are exact multiples of two (32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 ... 1024 is the maximum you can use). If you upload images with non-standard dimensions, they will be resized by the system, sometimes with unpredictable results. Usually, the system downsizes to the next lowest value, so 527 x 500 becomes 512 x 256, for example. I have seen occasional situations where the system upsizes too, though. To keep your sanity, always do the sizing yourself.

There are several scripts for multi-page dialog systems in the LSL Scripting Library. You should be able to find one that fits your situation and then modify it to do what you want. As Steph says, if you are not interested in writing the script yourself, you can advertize for a custom scripter in the InWorld Employment forum.

These forums are about Second Life. They are not Second Life itself. Anyone who posts one message here is "upgraded" to Resident in the forums -- a meaningless title. There are no ranks of any kind in Second Life and no goals other than the ones you may set for yourself.

That all depends on how much talent and experience you have, the same as in your RL. People very rarely earn a lot of money in Second Life, although many talented people earn enough to pay their expenses in world. For most people, however, it makes more sense to buy L$ with money that they earn in their normal lives.
