  1. I'd suggest checking your system clock under the Windows Control Panel. It should match your local time. Check the date (including the year) too. You wouldn't be the first person to get tripped up this way. Your system clock can start to do wierd things if the battery on your mother board is dying. Here's a bit from the SL Knowledge Base that might help: "This message has been around a long time and can be misleading. It refers to time-based sensitivities with security certificates, but normally isn't a problem, as you can test for yourself by deliberately setting your computer to the wrong time and trying to login. It should work. If you're absolutely certain your time is set correctly, you haven't changed your system setup, and Second Life was working fine moments before, it's likely a transient problem with our servers. Check the Grid Status Reports page for news and try to login periodically — often all it takes is patience while we fix Second Life. If you continue to get this problem after logins work reliably again for other Residents, contact Support."
  2. There's little point in dividing the job into two scripts if it works just as well (or better) with one script. That just increases the overhead on the sim's servers and doubles the number of scripts in your own work for no good reason. Of course you can do it, either by using llMessageLinked to communicate between scripts in a linked object or by using various communication options like llRegionSayTo if the objects are not linked. If you want to vary the volume of steam in your hot tub/sauna, you might change the size of the particles, or you might change their lifetime, among other options. You'd have to experiment to see what looks best to you. I suggest spending some time playing with tutorials at the Particle Laboratory in world until you get a feel for what the parameters all do. You can change particle parameters on the fly easily enough, BTW. You just can't do it in the block of global variable definitions at the top of your script. Instead, do something like this list particle_params = [ list almost all of your parameters here ];default{ [ ... ] // several events and other stuff go here, including your llDialog statement listen (integer channel, string name, key id, string msg) { if (msg == "HIGH") { llParticleSystem( particle_params + [PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <1.0,1.0,1.0>]); } else if (msg == "MED") { llParticleSystem( particle_params + [PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <0.7,0.7,0.7>]); } else if (msg == "LOW") { llParticleSystem( particle_params + [PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <0.4,0.4,0.4>]); } }}
  3. You still have the same problem that you first reported here and have complained about in three threads since then. You have a crummy Internet connection. Until you do something about it, you will continue to have bake fail problems with your avatar, teleporting issues, and difficulty with music. All of those activities require a strong, continuous data signal between SL and your computer. If you do not have sufficient bandwidth, have serious packet loss, or have other problems with your connection, you cannot expect SL to work well for you. Please review the answers that we have given in previous threads. Do NOT use wireless. Reboot your router. Analyze your connection with the Statistics Bar (CTRL + Shift + 1), and take measures to deal with problems you discover there. See http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/ .

  5. Get a different AO. Not all AOs do that. It all depends on how it was written by whoever scripted yours. I use the built-in AO that is part of Firestorm's viewer (mostly because it doesn't add yet another HUD for me to carry around), and it doesn't do that.
  6. This is one of many reasons why I have never chosen to live on the mainland.
  7. Yes, Echo. I spent a long time with Constance, trying to solve this one. A Character Test will make the text go away. It doesn't come back immediately after she puts her own shape and skin back on, but it comes back the next time she logs in. She can't make it go away by simply stripping down and removing all attachments.

  9. Unfortunately, a person who is suspended or even banned can usually find a way to get back in World, so it's hard to get away from someone who is determined. I wish I could be more encouraging, but the best I can suggest is to develop a very thick skin and remember which one of you is the certified idiot.
  10. Accédez à secondlife.com >>> Compte >>> Compte Annuler. Si vous êtes membre Premium, vendre ou d'abandonner la totalité de votre terre d'abord, et puis changer a Basic avant de quitter SL. En réalité, cependant, aussi longtemps que vous n'avez pas de dettes, vous pouvez simplement laisser SL sans annuler votre compte. Il sera toujours là quand vous changez d'avis et décidez de revenir. :smileywink:
  11. Yes, it's possible that you are the victim of mistaken identity. Someone else in your house or dorm --- someone with the same IP address --- could be the real bad guy. Or you could be using a computer that was previously owned by someone who was banned. If you believe that this is an error, submit a support ticket via the support portal. Use the category Account Issue >>. Abuse Appeal. To help customer support determine what block has been placed and why, include in the ticket your Second Life account name and any Second Life accounts that log in from your location. meanwhile, check your spam filter to see if an e-mail from Linden Lab has been hung up there. BTW, just to see if it makes any difference, try rebooting your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes and let it clear its RAM and get a fresh grasp on your IP address. It's barely possible that you just have a crummy Internet connection.
  12. Welcome to Second Life, girlycard. The cloudiness is a common problem, usually not too hard to fix. It's a communication problem between your computer and SL's servers. Information about your appearance has to be "baked" onto your avatar on your own computer, saved there, and then uploaded to SL before it's fully visible there. If the necessary information is messed up in transmission, you may end up with a borked file on your computer, or SL's servers may end up with a borked image. Either way, your av's appearance defaults to a fluffy cloud. What works to repair the damage for one person won't necessarily work for the next person, and it may not be the same thing that works for you tomorrow. See the full list of possibilities here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_bake_fail . Start with the simple things at the top of the list and work down until you find what works for you today. You may find that the bake fail problem comes back repeatedly, even after you fix it with one of the suggestions on that wiki page. If so, you have a chronically weak Internet connection. There are many steps to take for repairing it. Perhaps the simplest ones -- ones that work best for most people -- are: (1) Don't Use WIRELESS. Wireless connections are inherently less stable than direct cable connections and are more vulnerable to interference. Then, (2) Reboot your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes to let it clear its RAM. Then plug it back in and let it get a fresh hold on an IP address.
  13. All you can do is continue to file Abuse Reports, mute the person, and then ignore him. If the situation becomes intolerable, you may have to create an alt and set your primary avatar aside for a while until he loses interest. Bozos like that tend to like attention, so they get bored and wander off if nobody is listening.
  14. If you downloaded the Linux version of the viewer, it should automatically load when you double click on the exe file in your Downloads directory. If you downloaded a PC or Mac version, though, it won't do anything. With luck, a Linux expert will wander by shortly and give you more detailed assurances. If you still have trouble after trying that, come back here and add to your post by clicking on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and selecting EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.

  16. We can't do a thing about it. This is a resident-to-resident Answer service. We can tell you how SL works, or try to explain why it doesn't work, but we have no authority or power to do anything with your account. Lindens never come here either, so they won't see your request. The best way to get the situation resolved is to submit a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ . I suggest using the category Account Issue >>> Account Creation Issue.
  17. No, 1.23 is no longer available. You can probably find places on the Internet to download it from, but I suggest being careful. It would be easy to get an infected copy that way. You can find viewers based on the V1 codebase, like Catznip, CoolVL, and Singularity. If you're having trouble with Phoenix, don't expect miracles with the other V1 viewers. You'll just have to try them out and see what works best on your machine.
  18. If you can log in to your SL account, then you have already made it past any firewall. If you want to give your campus IT folks something to play with, though, give them this >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Using-Second-Life-with-a-firewall/ta-p/1304539 I think it's more likely that your locally cached copy of inventory has been damaged or is out of sync with the real inventory that's on Linden Lab's servers. You can clean out the copy that's there and force download of a new copy this way >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear . Those instructions are written for Firestorm users but they apply to any of the viewers, with obvious small modifications. So how does your cached inventory get borked? It's not hard, especially in a multi-user facility like yours. SL is a bandwidth hog and it depends on having a reliable, continuous data stream between its servers and your machine. If you're using wireless or have a lot of potential signal interference, it wouldn't be hard to mess up a file in transmision.

Three years in sl and this is the first time it has happened. Yeah, I can understand that. I'd be upset too, and I've been here five and a half years. Still, it's a pretty tiny slap on the wrist -- not likely to show up on your felony rap sheet. As others suggested, it's probably something dumb like littering. A prim with your name on it was found at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage .... /me wanders off, whistling Alice's Restaurant .....

Companies do internet searches, and Tweets, Facebook, and blogs all give insight into a person's nature. How someone handles the public news of leaving a company says volumes about them. That Tweet alone tells me that he's not someone, that I would want working at a company, for a product I use. Perhaps the old LL culture was one of dubious professionalism, but if LL wants to be taken serious, then cleaning up language is a good place to start. The language we use tells people who we are. This ^^
  21. Well, by the time you do anything, your one hour suspension will be ended, so it's a moot point. One hour is also a pretty small suspension -- kind of like a parking ticket. Check your spam filter, though. Administrative notices from LL have been known to land there for a lot of people.
  22. You create a second account for SL the same way that you created the first one. Every account is separate, as if you were different people in RL You may have up to 5 accounts (alts) in the same household (IP address). If you have trouble creating an alt, you may file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ , using the category Account Issue >>> Account Creation Issues . Be sure to include more specific details than you have provided here.
  23. Linden Lab is so close to phasing out Magic Boxes that I doubt they are trying to fix any new bugs that crop up now. File a support ticket and use the category Marketplace >> General Marketplace Issues. And plan on moving all of your items out of Magic Boxes and into Direct Delivery as soon as you can. Avoid the last-minute rush.
  24. There used to be an option in Preferences the V3 viewer --- a checkbox that says "only friends and groups can call or IM me". I never use the V3 viewer, so I don't know if it's still there. In Firestorm, it's in Preferences >> Privacy. If you can find it in your viewer, UNcheck that box. ETA: Edited as usual for typos. :smileytongue:
