  1. In order to play Flash format videos (eg YouTube videos), you must have the generic Adobe Flash plugin installed. If you use IE as your web browser and already have Flash, you will need to get the generic Flash plugin; see here. linux users need to have gstreamer installed, with the “bad” plugin set. If videos are not playing or you have a black or blank search page, please do the following: Go to Avatar → Preferences → Sound & Media Make sure the “Enabled” checkbox to the right of the “Media” slider is checked (For audio, check “Streaming Music”) Check “Allow resident scripts to play media” Make sure you have updated both Flash Player and Quicktime. See above concerning the Flash plugin. Make sure the issue is not with the specific television you are using, by attempting to view videos on a television that plays video normally for other Firestorm users. Make sure that “Enable plugins” is ticked in Preferences → Network & Cache, else Flash Player or Quicktime can not be executed, and you may see a message saying: Adobe Flash Player or an HTML5 supported browser is required for video playback.
  2. What's your account balance like? If you don't have L$ in your account, you won't be able to pay for uploading, so the option will be grayed out.
  3. None at all. I assume that you have just done the same Google search that I have and have found no links relating Trackir 4 Pro and Second Life. You will find some links in the SL wiki relating to using joysticks (for example >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Joystick_Flycam ), but nothing about the Trackir 4 Pro.
  4. It's not surprising that you can still hear the music. After all, a "radio" in SL is just a scripted shortcut for changing the parcel media stream. As long as you have permission to change the stream (which you do, if you are the owner of the parcel), then you can always change the stream yourself in About Land >> Sound without using a radio. Now, your radio has probably been returned to your inventory in a spot where you didn't expect it .... like Lost & Found. The easiest way to find it is to open the Recent tab in inventory and then click the little gear icon in the lower left corner to set filters. Look for things added to inventory during the past couple of days.
  5. That's interesting. Why not? What happens when you try? BTW, you seem to have two "family" groups with closed enrollment. One has 15 members and the other has 19. It doesn't look as if you're having trouble adding members to either one. If you'd like to add more information to explain what you mean, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.
  6. Go to your dashboard at secondlife.com and navigate to Account >> Delete Account. Then hope that you never change your mind. If you do, and want to recover your av and its inventory, it will cost you $9.95. All things considered, it's easier to simply walk away and abandon the account. Then, if you change your mind and come back it won't cost you a penny. The only thing you need to be sure of before you walk away is that you have abandoned or sold any land and have left any groups that charge you a group liability.
  7. If there is, it's a closely guarded secret inside Linden Lab, not published anywhere. I suspect that it changes hourly anyway.
  8. It may mean that your firewall or your anti-virus routine has flagged the slplugin.exe program as an evil intruder. You will need to tell both programs that they are mistaken. Here's how to do it with your firewall program >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Using-Second-Life-with-a-firewall/ta-p/1304539 . Look here for information about creating an exception in your antivirus routine >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/antivirus_whitelisting
  9. Ummm... Two problems... 1. There's no point in getting llList2Rot(llGetLink PrimitiveParams(LINK_ROOT, [PRIM_ROT_LOCAL]),0) . That's the local rotation of the root prim == llGetRot(). What you want is the local rotation of the prim you are updating >>> Prim #2. 2. Did you give rot a value? If not, then rot = ZERO_ROTATION. Even if you got the right local rot, multiplying it by ZERO_ROTATION will give you no change. Also, double check to be sure that you really are rotating the correct prim. In a linkset, prim #1 is the root. Child prims are numbered starting with prim #2 in the linkset.
  10. It happens sometimes. If the sim's servers are particularly busy --- lots of people on the sim, lots of building and teleporting going on ---- they can just refuse to rez your stuff. It might not even be your sim, since there are 3 other sims on the same server as yours. You might also be trying to rez something that would put your parcel over its prim allowance too, or something that would lap over onto a neighboring parcel.
  11. Buying a Linden Home is like buying a house in RL. The one that you really want may not be available on the day you go shopping. So, you have two choices: (1) pick a different one or (2) wait. People abandon Linden Homes all the time and mov up to larger homes on their own land. When they do, their house will be available, and you'll be able to grab it if you're paying attention. Linden Lab sometimes builds new homes too, if there's enough demand for a particular style. Again, just wait.
  12. Good luck finding an "easy" walkthrough. You've probably seen the Quick Start Guide. Here's the only other stuff that's available in the wiki >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Pathfinding_Tools_in_the_Second_Life_Viewer , plus the new LSL functions for scripting a NPC >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Pathfinding_LSL_Functions
  13. Yeah, that happens. That has to be the slowest page I have ever seen. Sometimes it hangs and never loads. The best way to beat it is to download and install a different viewer (try Firestorm) , log in with it, and accept the TOS. Then you can either stay with that \viewer or go back to the one you started with. You only need to accept the TOS once.
  14. llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast. It's right in your own post.

  16. I don't understand the problem. If you want to rotate a child prim, why are you using llSetPrimitiveParams instead of llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast? And what workaround are you looking for?
  17. Don't do it. I know you may be attached to your Doberman, but you should never have to chose between your account security and a virtual pet.
  18. Quick answer: "No". But you don't have to stay in the Linden Home. Linden Homes are a great way to start in SL, but there are a lot of restrictions. You can use your 512 sq m tier vaiver on any other land you buy on the mainland, and you can buy more land there to increase your prim allowance. See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Buying-land/ta-p/700043 and http://secondlife.com/land/pricing.php
  19. How have you deduced that you are wearing a cursed clothing item? There are many reasons why our avatar might fail to rez properly, but bogus clothing is not usually on the list. Take a look at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_bake_fail for things that are on the list. Now, if you're getting hung up on the "loading world" step, one of the first things to try is logging on to a different sim. Try a nice, lag-free one like Smith, Pooley, or Aqua. If that doesn't do it, Restart your computer, modem, and router. When restarting, make sure to leave everything powered off for at least ten seconds before restarting. This step can often fix routing issues and other connection-related problems.
  20. Hehe ...Thanks, Echo. I'm on holidays and feeling quite relaxed. The Chardonnay helps too.

This is the first time you have ever asked in these forums. Now, if you are having bake fail problems or inventory issues, chances are very good that the problem is in your own computer or its Internet connection, so if you have been hearing that from people in world, they are right. Very often, a computer that is just fine for e-mail and web browsing, or even some simple game like WoW will be too underpowered to handle SL. Try posting your computer specs here so we can see what sort of system you are dealing with. Next time you are in world, open the Help >>> About page in your viewer and copy the entire window contents. Then come back here and click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question, select EDIT, and paste that information into your question. Please do NOT start a new thread. Meanwhile, if you want some tips about taking care of your cloudy avatar, read here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_bake_fail . Start at the top and work down the list until you find what works for you today. If you continue to have bake fail problems, then you really do have a connection issue.
  22. Be sure that you have enabled the Select by Surrounding option in your Build menu. Then get up above your house, look straight down, and open the Edit tool (CTRL + 3). Drag a selection rectangle around the house and hit your Delete key. You may still have to do a little cleanup, but that should catch 98% of the items. If your house includes any no-copy items, you should get a warning message before you hit that key. Don't ignore it.
  23. If you are not getting an error message, then you are not crashing, by definition. A crash happens from within SL and it always produces some kind of error message. If you are suddenly outside SL and there was no error message, you disconnected. That's not a problem with SL. It's a problem with your computer or your Internet connection. If you can't stop being a cloud, that' another good sign that you have a connection issue. If you have been on wireless, get rid of it now. If it has been more than a few days since you rebooted your router, unplug it from the power for a few minutes to clear its RAM. Those two steps may be enough to clear the problems. If not, take a good look at Nalates's blog for other tips >>> http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/
  24. I'm afraid Arwen is right. That part of the avatar torso is a problem area for designers. The crotch area and the shoulder blades are just as bad or worse. Your body bends there and any texture gets stretched. If you created that shirt yourself, you can try redrawing it so that it cuts tighter up under the breasts. You can also try adding a prim or mesh/sculpty attachment that covers up the problem area. I have used both methods successfully in nightgowns I have created.
