Go into Appearance mode and click Edit Shape >>> Body. Scroll down to the very last slider, called Hover. Unless you are wearing a no-mod shape, you will be able to adjust the slider to put your feet at ground level.

Non hai mai permesso di cambiare il nome utente del tuo account. Devi rimanere Taleenas sempre. Se si desidera un nome diverso, avete solo due scelte. Si può aprire un nuovo account e scegliere un nome per il nuovo avatar, oppure si può utilizzare un nome di visualizzazione. Un nome di visualizzazione è come un soprannome in RL. Non è possibile utilizzarlo per scopi "ufficiali", come l'accesso a SL, ma è un nome che si può usare tra amici. Leggi di più qui.

No. Marketplace does not have a high-order search capability. You can of course use the drop-down menu in the upper right to sort your search results by price, from lowest to highest. That should automatically put DEMO items first, along with the freebies, but it won't eliminate them completely. You'll just have to work on developing patience.

Dang, you're smart. And fast.

That part is easy. default{ touch_start (integer num) { integer MF = (integer)llFrand(2.0); llSay(0, "Congratulations! You are " + llList2String(["female","male"],MF) ); }} That script chooses male or female at random, as requested. That's all it does, of course, and there's not much else it could do. There's no way to select gender of your av with a LSL script. The button to do that is in Appearance >>> Edit Shape.

I understand your point, Chosen. It's one I heard for a long time as an educator, and it has great value as a motivator: "You can be anything you set your mind to." It's even true, up to a point. Unfortunately, it can set some people up for a lifetime of crushing disillusionment. I was a chemist in an earlier life, teaching thermodynamics among other things. I have had a handful of brilliant students who have no trouble grasping some very arcane concepts intuitively. They feel the mathematics at a gut level rather than seeing equations that other people handle mechanically. With practice and exposure to fresh challenges, they go on to be creative chemists. At the other end of the scale, I have watched countless numbers of motivated but hopelessly untalented chemistry majors struggle to understand the basics of free energy and chemical potential. For them, it's not a matter of how many hours they study, or how devoutly they want to learn. They simply don't have the spark. I spent the last third of my academic life as a senior administrator, seeing the same story play out for students across the disciplines. It's not enough to want to be a CPA or a concert violinist. It's not enough to spend every waking hour pouring yourself into practice. Some people just don't have the talent to work with. Taken to an absurd extreme, we will never see many chimpanzees becoming rocket scientists. By telling students from the time that they are old enough to walk that they can become "anything", just by wishing and working hard enough at it, we do them a disservice. We would do better to consel them from the beginning to recognize their strengths and build on them. If nothing else, they could save years of paying college tuition and racking up debts that they can't pay off. This certainly is not to deny that marginally talented people can become much better by practice. I am a fairly good guitar player and a middling artist myself, and I credit my success to years of hard work. We become more confident, more well-balanced people by nurturing our dreams. Society, too, needs plenty of people who will not be the next Picasso but will turn out commercially successful refrigerator art. Without practice, there is no hope for those who find ourselves in the motivated middle rank of talent. Still, it is a cruel waste of human potential to tell any child that with practice she can grow up to be a Broadway performer or a even sing in the church choir, even though she has no hope of hearing the difference between a B flat and an F sharp. Tone deaf is tone deaf. Mathematical insight is there or it's not. The ability to throw a hanging curve ball is there or it's not. You can practice from now until the cows come home, but if you don't have some talent to work with, you are wasting your time. And your teacher's. And society's. One of my first graduate students, decades ago, worked very hard to become a decent chemist, only to find that companies already had enough "decent chemists" and wanted to hire only the really sharp ones. I suppose I should have told him that he didn't have the talent to make it in the field, but I was being kind and young myself. He went into the tropical fish business and was doing quite well the last time I heard.

You may be stuck. The problem is a collision betweent the bounding boxes of the two avs, which you cannot change. The way others have solved the same problem over the years has been to get both avs to sit on the same vehicle and have one of them "drive" it. That method works because a sitting av becomes part of a phantom linkset. It's easier to do in a convincing way if the "vehicle" is something like a horse. Still, it can be done. Use a control event and activate a walk animation when you hit the keyboard arrow keys to control forward or backward movement.

Gee, Steph, that's a hefty script to give to a beginner. I think I would start with default{ state_entry() { llSay(0,"Hello,Avatar!"); } touch_start(integer total_number) { llSay(0,"Hello,Avatar!"); }} :smileyvery-happy:

You have to set your preference in two places. 1. In Preferences >> General, check the drop-down menu for General, Moderate, and Adult 2. In Search, check all three boxes in the upper left of the window for G, M, A If you have recently come back to SL and reactivated an old account, they may not have activated everything properly, so one or both of those settings isn't working. You can submit a support ticket in the category Account Issue >> Account Creation Issue to ask them to straighten it out.

It's probably a smart idea to take an evening off and visit Caledon Oxbridge University, where they have an excellent set of self-paced tutorials. There's another excellent set at NCI. You'll learn how to manipulate objects, control your inventory, and a lot of other relevant things. Then you'll be in great shape to 1. Open your inventory 2. Find a sofa 3. Use your mouse to drag it and drop it in your living room 4. Use your Build/Edit tool to move it where you want it.

You are probably aware of the web site that carries information about upcoming events in the LEA full sim series. http://lindenarts.blogspot.com/ The current round of Grants (now closed) covers projects through January 2014, so I imagine that the deadline for the next round will be later this Fall. All that their main web site says is: The LEA Land Grant is a program to distribute 20 regions generously donated by Linden Lab. These regions are to be used to promote art and artistic endeavor in Second Life. Full sims of virtual land are made available to in-world artists through an application process. Residencies on this land are for 5-6 months. Application cycles will be announced through various LEA channels, so stay tuned. So stay tuned. I imagine that you can ask through their Contact link to be put on a mailing list.

Linden Lab can do almost anything, but they're not likely to shut down a group just for the heck of it. When a group vanishes, it is almost always for one of two reasons: 1. The owner deliberately closed the group by ejecting everyone and then leaving the group her/himself. Or 2. The owner forgot that a group has to have at least two members to be viable. If there are fewer than 2 members, a group will disappear within 24 to 48 hours. If the group no longer shows up in your profile (you have 7 groups there now), then you were ejected or left the group voluntarily. Check in Search to be sure that the group really does still exist. If it does, contact its owner to find out what's going on.

You cannot change your username. Ever. Your username and your UUID are forever. You have two options: 1. Use a Display Name. It's like a nickname in RL -- not official for important things like logging in to SL, but a nice friendly name that you'd like your friends to call you. You should be aware, of course, that many people in SL elect not to look at Display Names, so you will still find people who address you by your username. Still, it's not a bad option as long as you stay away from names with goofy letters that are impossible to read. See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Usernames-and-display-names/ta-p/700173 2. Open a new account, an alt. You can have up to 5 accounts in SL, and many of us have at least one alt. When you create the new account, you may choose any username that is not already in use.

Do you mean someplace other than http://gridsurvey.com/index.php ? That's the only place I know of, although there are a few bloggers who report a few stats from time to time.

You can wear full body armor. Attach a prim to every attachment point and then script them to yell when hit. Otherwise, there's not much you can do. The servers don't know where parts of your body are. They know where the center of your body is and they let your viewer fill in the rest by knowing how it is supposed to animate you. With llCastRay you can certainly tell the region position where the ray made contact with an av, but you can't leap from that informnation to tell whether you have detected a kneecap or an ear lobe.

Dang! Back to the shallow end of the pool. Actually, though, I bet I can make an Instant Chalkboard at least as good as that one.

The other vital part of the equation, of course, is talent. You can practice the violin for years, but you'll never make it to Carnegie Hall unless you're in Joshua Bell's end of the gene pool. You can also spend every waking hour learning how to handle an airbrush or Photoshop, become a highly competent technician, and still not end up producing artwork for the Louvre. As a longtime fan of science fiction, Chosen, you will recognize Doc Smith's well-worn line,"We can't all be the first violin in the orchestra. Some of us have to push the wind through the trombones." That's not to say that you have to be a world-class artist to have fun and create beauty. Personally, I have no such delusions, although I like to think that I have enough talent to hold my own against refrigerator art. Practice does make a difference. Without it, even the gifted artist will remain in the shadows. With practice, some of us can do wonderful things with our middling talent and can bring joy to our lives and to people around us. Still, universities are full of marginally talented art majors with high hopes, getting excellent instruction and plenty of practice but not destined to make more than a tiny splash in the art world. Practice is a sine qua non, but it takes talent to be Picasso.

You could try listing your sim in the Regions for Sale: Full Regions forum.

I assume you are aware that voice is not a part of the Sl viewer itself. It is handled by a third party, Virwox, so you have to be sure that SLVoice.exe, which manages that function, has access through your firewall. BTW, as a truly minor point, you are not dealing with SSB. It's Server Side Appearance (SSA). SSB does not exist.

It's late in the day, but I think you're in the running for Question of the Day. My guess, purely a guess, is Yes. Otherwise why would you sell them?

Wow. V3 has that option? Is that like setting the keyboard to WASD mode?

Sure. The last owner is listed right on the General page when you select an object and open your Edit tool (CTRL + 3).

No, there really isn't. I suppose you could mute everyone you meet, but that's a little draconian. Public chat is our primary way to communicate in SL, so shutting it out completely would be like snubbing most of the world. You can just pretend that you don't see what people are saying to you though, I guess, and there's nothing that says you have to respond.
