What that tells you is that anything that is at least that good will work. The zippier the better. "Best", though, is a very subjective judgment. It depends on what the rest of your system looks like and what else you plan to use your machine for. I am quite happy with my NVidia GeForce 9800 GT, which is now way out of date by high-end gamer standards, but I can run it on Ultra settings when I want to, and I can use Advanced Lighting, and still get about 15-20 FPS. If I wanted to do fast-moving RP stuff or if I were into photography in a big way and needed some of the fancier graphics, I'd be looking for a flashier card. So.... decide what you want to do, be sure that your pocketbook and your power supply can handle it, and shop for the "best" card you can find.

Maddy's got it right. Just clear your cache manually (not by clicking the Clear Cache button in Preferences). Here's how >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear If you're not using Firestorm, don;t worry. These instructions work for any viewer, with small obvious changes.

You and I seem to be thinking along the same lines, Innula. When I have done this trick, I have always rezzed the object and then used llAttachToAvatar (now llAttachToAvatarTemp). Then, as I suggested to the OP, detach it on command from the main script when the av stands up. Since the glass is temporarily attached, it will vanish automatically. If you really want to have the glass always be on the table, then you can do a hybrid approach. Rez a new glass when the av sits down and simultaneously make the one on the table transparent. Then have the glass ask for permission to attach and use llAttachToAvatarTemp to do it. At the end of the sequence, when the av stands up and the attached glass poofs, turn the one on the table back to non-transparent again.

You might be in luck, maybe. Take a look in the sim's garbage collector. It's at location <0.0,0.0,0.0>, in the far SW corner of the sim, underground (or water). That's where the servers put things when they can't figure out what else to do with them. If you were using the Firestorm "Restore To Previous Position" function, you should be aware that it will not work properly unless you have permission to rezz in that extreme SW corner. That's because the function works by rezzing your object at that spot and then moving it to the "previous position." Most of the time when the function fails, it simply doesn't rez your object at all. Sometimes, though, the server apparently says, "Oh, hey! That's my garbage collector. I know where that is," and just leaves it there. You're right, though, that there is no support ticket category for finding lost inventory unless you are a Premium member. If you are, though, you can give Live Chat a call.

Good question. Is it happening everywhere, or just on some sims? If you go to a nice quiet sim like Smith, do you walk at a normal speed? When you walk, do you walk at a uniform speed, or do you sort of jerk forward a little bit at a time, like you're being pulled on a bungeee cord? One way or another, you are experiencing lag. By studying some of those questions, you can narrow down the problem to decide whether your own computer and its Internet connection are the cause, or whether you're just on a laggy sim. Take a look here for the range of possibilities. 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.

Try the category Land & Region >>> Report a region offline . Your sim isn't actually "off line" but that should catch the techies' attention as long as you describe the problem adequately.

Linden Lab tweaks the configurations from time to time, so there is no such thing as a "class 5 sim" or a "class 8 sim". The only promise they make any more is that any full region will have "class 5 or better" capacity, but they do not promise that a region will stay on a certain class any more. A full sim is sharing a server with up to 3 other sims at any given time, as well, so even knowing which server is running your sim today won't necessarily tell you how its performance may look tomorrow.

Translators require a lot of memory, even if you are dealing with a limited vocabulary. Unfortunately, LSL is not well-designed for handling data-intensive tasks. The maximum size of a LSL script is 64K, and that includes all space used for the script itself and for data storage and manipulation. Language translation inevitably involves a lot of sorting operations, too, so even more of that storage is used for temporary list manipulation. The bottom line is that all but the simplest translation systems -- few words, no grammar or syntax correction -- are much better done outside of SL on dedicated servers, and then piped in by HTTP. If you are trying to write something very simple indeed -- essentially a substitution cipher (like a Little Orphan Annie decoder ring) rather than a real translator -- you can get a start with the small example that Miranda Umino posted in this thread. You can search for other ideas in the LSL Scripting forum archives.

Dang, you're a fast typist, Peter.

You can get a Magic box here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Xstreet-SL-Magic-Box/36791 HOWEVER ..... You should only be using a Magic Box if you are trying to add one-of-a-kind items -- items for which YOU do not have copy permission. That would include things like breedables and fairy eggs. All other items -- that's 99% of the stuff sold in Marketplace -- must be sold through its Direct Delivery system. That means uploading items to your MP store with the Merchant Outbox in your SL viewer--- not with a Magic Box. Please read all instructions at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Selling-in-the-Marketplace/ta-p/700193#Section_.4.2.1 . In fact, read that entire article.

Um.... in a very vague way, yes. You're not giving an item that will go to someone's inventory. You're rezzing an object with a script in it. So your "button" activates the rezzer and captures the new object's UUID. Later, when you want to delete the object, you click a "Delete" button to send the "DIE!!" mssage to that object. I've frankly never peeked inside AvSitter (does it have mod perms?), but if I were modifying my own sit pose script to do this stuff I would probably be adding a llRezAtRoot function in the run_time_permissions event so that it rezzes the new object. I'd add an object_rez event to grab the object's UUID, and I'd add a dialog function in a touch_start event that would handle the "DIE!!" message.

I've never bothered to use AvSitter myself, although I know it's a fine script. If I want something to disappear when I stand up, I need two scripts. One is in the object that will disappear. It listens for a code word from the other script -- the one that controls my sit animation -- and vanishes when it hears the message. I have the changed event in my animating script written something like this... changed (integer change){ if (change & CHANGED_LINK) { gAv = llAvatarOnSitTarget(); if (gAv != NULL_KEY) // Avatar has just sat down { llRequestPermissions(gAv,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION); } else // Avatar has just stood up { llRegionSayTo(DisappearingObject, secret_channel,"DIE!!"); // Send code word to the other object } }} I know the UUID of the DisappearingObject because I grabbed that in an object_rez event when I rezzed it in the first place.

That would be a little less than $5 US. The best way to "earn" it is to skip lunch today and bring that $5 in world instead. It's quick and easy, and you won't have to work anywhere near as long in RL to earn it back again as you would need to in SL. :smileywink:

Most dance machines behave in similar ways, so you can usually walk into a new club and understand quickly how to use their dance machine. Every once in a while, though, you can be surprised by one with a new menu or a different activating button. If you ever have a question and don't see an obvious sign, just ask someone who is already dancing. They obviously figured it out.

It's possible that you didn't click the wrong age at all. After all, how hard is it to remember your own birthday? Instead, you may just be trying to visit places that won't admit newcomers to SL. It's nothing personal. Club owners can have a hard time with griefers, and it turns out that a high percentage of griefers have been in SL for less than 30 days. They either get bored and leave by then, or they are banned. As a defensive measure, then, club owners often routinely block anyone who is "underage" in SL from entering. If that's your problem, just wait until mid-October and you should be fine. BTW, just so you sound less like a newbie.... SL doesn't have "rooms." That's IMVU. :smileywink:

He doesn't sound like a sweet guy. On the other hand, a landowner has an absolute right to ban or eject anyone from his land. He doesn't need to offer a reason. He doesn't even need to have one. Linden Lab won't display even the slightest interest unless there is a TOS violation involved. See the TOS, Sect. 6: "You are solely responsible for your interaction with other users of the Service, whether online or offline. We are not responsible or liable for the conduct or content of any user. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to monitor or become involved in disputes between you and other users." It's time to move on and find a new place to enjoy Second Life.

It means that you have included at least one prim that contains a no-mod script, animation, sound, texture, or other asset. The permissions of your final linkset cannot be less restrictive than the lowest-perm items in the linkset. So yes, you have to go through and edit every single prim until you find the one that contains the no-mod item. I'd suspect that you are using a no-mod script in a door, for example.

KarenMichelle has given you the answer that is usually correct. Sometimes, though, your IP address can be blocked accidentally by Linden Lab. You can try to grab a new IP address by shutting down your router for a few minutes --- just unplug it from the power -- and then starting it up again. You may have to do that two or three times. See if you can log in then.

The easy way to find out is to take off each attachment you are wearing when these things happen. That includes hair and any HUDs too. Then rez them, one at a time, on the ground and use your Edit tool to examine each individual prim in each item, looking for a copy of that LM. There will be a script in that same prim, used to hand out the LM. Remove both. This can be a slow process, especially if you are not used to using the Edit tool or if the stuff you are wearing has a ton and a half of prims.Treat it like a treasure hunt, though. The prize is that you'll be able to wear your things again without worrying about this annoyance.

As we described in the replies to this very old thread, this sort of weapon can cause permanent damage to your graphics card. It essentially overloads it to cause burnout. Fortunately, it is very rare in SL. You are doing the right thing by submitting an Abuse Report. As you note, though, a truly determined griefer may continue to come back under a new account each time he is banned. Your only sure defense is to avoid being in places where you are likely to run into him again.

Look here for ideas. You should understand that most unskilled jobs in SL do not pay very well at all. (Actually, all jobs in SL do not pay very well, by RL standards.) If you have a special skill as a creator (a scripter, a builder, an animator, ....) or as a performer (a DJ, a musician, a dancer .... ), you can earn enough to cover your in-world expenses. If you devote a lot of time and energy to it, you can earn a comfortable living. Those jobs do require expertise and usually some investment in specialized software or items in world. If you are looking for a job because you want to try something new and exciting, that's great. If you are doing it simply because you want to have some money in SL, you are better off just buying L$ on the Linden Exchange. You can live quite comfortably in SL for the price of a Big Mac and fries.

Bummer. I hate to say it, but I am out of ideas, at least temporarily.

With the recent implementation of SSA, bake fail has become much less of a problem for most people than it once was. It still happens, though, especially to people who have weak or flaky Internet connections. Wireless is sometimes part of the problem, so you ought to move to a direct cable connection from your computer to your router if you haven't already. There are several new suggestions for dealing with bake fail that you may not have seen or tried yet. Take a look here.

Rats. We're exhausting all the easy, obvious solutions. OK ..... Here's another direction to consider >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_freezing . That article was written for Firestorm users but applies to any viewer.
