  1. It may be leaking over from a neighbor's parcel. You might check by visiting the neighbors and seeing what streams they have set. There's another odd quirk of parcel media that you might consider too. If you do not have any stream set on your parcel at all, the stream that was active in your previous location will continue to play until you click the little music icon in your viewer to turn the stream off. Instead of clearing the media setting, therefore, try putting something there that you would rather hear. If you forget to turn of the stream in your viewer, you ought to hear your own choice of music instead of someone else's.
  2. This is one of the more arcane parts of LSL scripting. There no time like the present to start learning. Begin here, and then read this entire web page (several times) >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Rotation#Single_or_Root_Prims_vs_Linked_Prims_vs_Attachments .
  3. Echo is absolutely right. Here's why ... This error message may appear as: Login failed. Second Life cannot be accessed from this computer. These messages generally indicate you have been blocked from the Second Life servers by Linden Lab as the result of: Documented cases of fraud Use of Second Life by a minor Exceptionally flagrant abuse activity Note that someone else in your household may be responsible for this activity, not necessariliy with your account. If you believe that this is an error, submit a support ticket via the support portal. 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.
  4. Yes, but the OP posted his question a year and a half ago. I suspect that you're talking about different problems.
  5. Multiple accounts on the same IP address is only part of the problem, and it's actually more of a problem for Linden Lab than for your university. Linden Lab restricts the number of accounts per IP address for securiy reasons. The more people that are sharing the address, the harder it is to identify and ban a griefer among them. The bigger problem for your university is bandwidth. When a large number of students start using bandwidth heavily for non-academic things like SL, the campus system gets slower and people who are trying to do academic work on line start complaining. Some campuses have responded by limiting bandwidth during class hours, or until something like 9:00 p.m., and then opening it up for gaming late at night. Others have allowed SL only for classroom use. You might explore those options tactfully with your IT department and the provost or dean's office. If you had brought that idea to me when I was in a position like that -- years ago in a galaxy far, far away --- I like to believe that I would have listened seriously.
  6. Welcome back! That was a short detour from SL. I'm glad to see you made it here again.

    Selling in the Marketplace

    I thought the editor just accepted my change (in red) here... Adding the item on the Marketplace websiteOn the Marketplace website, choose My Marketplace > Merchant home in the upper-right.Click Manage Listings on the left side of the page.Under Unassociated Marketplace Inventory, click the name of your item to start editing the item listing, then complete the required fields. You can find a description of all the listing fields here.but it didn't. Could someone else do it, please. The text is incorrect as written.
  8. Be creative. Instead of "Manage Items", try "Manage Listings". I'm sure that's what the instructions meant. Now, that's not how to add items, though. To add items, you have to upload them from your own inventory to your Marketplace shop, using your Merchant Inbox. Then, once they are uploaded and in your listings, you can edit them one at a time and create active listings. Rather than try to explain the whole thing, let me point you to the instructions >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Selling-in-the-Marketplace/ta-p/700193#Section_.4 (Notice that those instructions say to click on Manage Inventory. That's clearly a mistake but, again, be adventurous. Click on Manage Listings. That really is the right link.)
  9. Try clearing your cache manually from outside SL. That can be more effective than using the Clear Cache button in Preferences. Essentialy, the difference is that the button just empties your cache. Doing it manually deletes the entire cache folder itself and forces the viewer to rebuild it, downloading all contents from SL's servers. Here's how >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear . The instructions are written for Firestorm users, but will work for any viewer.
  10. As a premium account holder, you're eligible for live chat and ticket support from the Support Portal. If you need support for your Linden Home: Go to the Support Portal and choose Submit a Support Case. Select Land and Region from the first dropdown menu. Select Linden Home Issues from the second dropdown menu. Fill out the required fields; make sure to include as much relevant information as possible when describing your issue. Click Submit to submit your ticket.
  11. No, we can't give you back anything. We are all SL residents like you, and we have absolutely no power to do that sort of thing. Lindens never come here either. However, chances are very good that your missing things are not really gone. It's hard to tell which of many possibilities is the right one, since you didn't tell us much. Take a look here, though >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Lost_inventory . Your solution is probably in there.
  12. You will never hear the result of a Linden Lab decision to punish someone. You file an AR, get a note of acknowledgement, and that's it. Linden Lab may well have suspended or banned this griefer's account every time you have complained, but it's extremely difficult to keep a determined griefer from coming back as an alt on a different machine from a different IP address. Your best bet is to AR and ban him each time he appears, and then to pretend he doesn't exist. He's having fun tweaking your nose. Don't let him know that it's working. BTW, there's something very wierd going on with your caps key. You may want to have someone take a look at it.
  13. Hehehe... Considering the fact that you are responding to a necropost that's nine months past its most recent entry, it looks like you have been away for a really long time. :smileytongue: Welcome back.
  14. I apologize. I didn't see your note until now. Listing enhancements allow you to promote an item by advertising it as a "Featured Item" on a highly visible page. While editing an item listing, you can click the Add button on the right to: Feature this item on the home page - http://marketplace.secondlife.com Feature this item on a category landing page - For example, Avatar Accessories. Feature this item on the checkout receipt page - A shopper sees this page after checking out. Feature this item on the L$0 cart checkout ads page - A shopper sees this page after checking out with a L$0 balance (freebies). For listing enhancement prices, please see the Marketplace fees and commissions here >>> https://marketplace.secondlife.com/listing_guidelines#fees-and-commissions
  15. Tonya Souther wrote: Actually, the solution would work for ALL_SIDES, but would require that the animation process be repeated separately for each face. For a cube, that means 6 separate animations would need to be done for each step. That can get expensive. Ah... That's the part that got me confused earlier. I thought you were trying to call llSetTextureAnim 6 times, once for each cube face. That won't work. It seems that's not what you're talking about, though. You're talking about what would happen if you ran llSetTextureAnim once, with ALL_SIDES set but with a different scale factor on each face. That would start to get computationally intensive, I'm sure.
  16. Well, much of what you're asking about is moot, since you can't have miore than one texture animation on a single prim. From the wiki ... You can only have one texture animation on a prim Calling llSetTextureAnim more than once on a prim will reset the existing animation.I'm not sure that STORM-1909 is accurately called a bug at this point. It has been around for at least 5 years. Somewhat cynically, we might now call it "expected behavior". It would be nice to have it changed, though, because there are plenty of times when you want to display and animate only part of a larger texture. It's a nuisance to have to resize and crop the texture in Photoshop and then upload it agaian, just to do a job that would be easy with a repeats setting.
  17. Ackley Bing wrote: The "simplicity" of such a HUD depends on what these "Songs" are. Most of the inworld items I've seen, that play songs, require a Touch. Instead, Script them to Listen, so that your HUD can communicate to them. Do you want the HUD to play a media stream? That is simple, but most public sites (radio stations) don't allow this... If you try and debug your HUD you'll eventually see a message about "POLICY CHANGE". It seems that inworld rezzed objects are not penalized by this "POLICY CHANGE" error message. HUDS and other attachments are affected by it. If you can find your song on YouTube, you could link your HUD to that URL. Last time I checked, YouTube didn't use the POLICY! Exactly. I was sidestepping that whole discussion by assuming that the OP had already figured it out with the first approach he tried. If not, though, then I agree. Making the HUD is the trivial part of the project. There is one other limited solution to streaming, BTW. The OP could build a parcel radio and just use the HUD to switch streams for the parcel, using llSetParcelMusicURL. That would restrict the usefullness of the HUD/headphones, since they'd only work while he was at home, but maybe that's all he wants. If he has deeded the parcel to a group, that would mess up the idea too. Still, it's another idea to consider.
  18. Mandji is quite right. Click the Land icon at the top of your viewer screen or click World >> About Land. Then click the Objects tab to see what your prim allowance is and how many prims you have already rezzed. That's your budget. You have to learn to stay within it or move to a larger parcel of land somewhere.
  19. Your HUD can be very simple -- just a single prim that you click to get a Dialog box with your selections on numbered buttons, perhaps -- or it can be very elaborate. If you already have it working the way you're doing it now, the same approach out to work in a HUD. However you do it, there's no need to do anything in the earphones at all. After all, the HUD will do all the channel switching that turns on your selected stream. The headphones are just decoration.
  20. You don't get messages at secondlife.com. That's your dashboard. You can get personal messages here in the forums (click the envelope icon next to your name at the top of this page) or you can get them in your Web profile at http://my.secondlife.com/Wyndi.Orchid . When you go to your web profile, click on Inbox in the menu bar on the left. And, of course, you can get IMs and chat in world.
  21. Aha. There a pretty good chance that you have a lousy Internet connection. At least it's not up to the task of letting you handle SL. Here's what to do.... (1) Try shutting off your computer, unplugging the router and modem for a couple of minutes, and then plugging them back in and restarting. That simple step may clear up everything (2) Add Google's free public DNS servers to whatever your ISP assigns you as a default. Here's how >>> http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ (3) If things are STILL messed up, contact your ISP. Maybe they are working on their Internet connections. Mine go down for about 20 minutes once a month or so while they are vacuuming dust out of their servers, or whatever they do.
  22. Breedable horses don't actually create much lag at all. At least my neighbor's horses don't. I took a flock of careful measurements as she was setting them out to pasture and was surprised that they had a negligible effect. I suspect that it depends on the brand of breedable, of course, but that calmed my mind. Echo is right that your neighbor cannot sell them from her home without violating the Linden Homes agreement. Given the prim limits (117) on a Linden Home, though, I can't imagine that she could raise enough horses at once to have much of a business. If I were you, I would probably ignore the matter unless whinnying keeps you awake at night. It won't be long before your neighbor wishes that she had a bigger parcel where she could put the horses outside instead of keeping them in her boudoir.
  23. If those extra items were boxed with your merchandise when you had them in your Magic Box, they will still be in those boxes. The only thing that's changed is that customers will receive the boxes by Direct Delivery. If the items were never in boxes, however, the only way that they will be sent together with your merchandise is if you upload them together from your Merchant Inbox, so that they arrive in the same folder in your Marketplace inventory. When you do that, they will appear as Unlisted Items. Then, follow the instructions at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Managing-your-Marketplace-store/ta-p/700191#Section_.1.6 to associate each new Unlisted item with your current listing.
  24. "That error"? What error? The Grid Status page isn't going to tell you anything unless everyone else is having trouble getting in world. They aren't, so your problem is local. If the login progress bar isn't moving, the best guess is that you have a crummy Internet connection. You aren't making a connection to SL's servers. Check your router first. Reboot it by unplugging it from the power for three or four minutes and plugging it back in again. If that doesn't solve the problem, add Google's free public DNS servers to whatever your ISP assigns you as a default. Here's how >>> http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ . BTW, if you have been trying to get in world on wireless, forget it. Use a direct cable connection instead. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to add important information here, like the specification of your computer. Please do NOT start a new thread. EDIT: Aha! Now there IS a grid status report. There's your answer.
  25. Possibly, but don't bet on it. The only way that person could get access to your account would be to have your account username and password. Unless you were dumb enough to give it to him, that's very unlikely. However, your account may have been compromised if: You can't access your account. You suddenly notice a reduced available balance on the payment source you have on file. If this happens, contact Linden Lab immediately! Here's what to do: Go to the Second LIfe Help page and log in if you can. If you can't access your account, use the Forgot your login information? link on the right to recover your username and reset your password. Then log in. On the Second LIfe Help page page, click the Contact Support link on the right. On the next page, click Submit a a Support Case form. Under What type of problem are you having?, select Account Issue. A second dropdown appears. Under Account Issue, select I believe my account has been compromised. Fill in the rest of the fields as directed. Click Submit. Check your email for your case number. Call our fraud number: 800-860-6990. Once you do this, Linden Lab will place your account on hold and investigate the relevant transactions. This may take a few days. Once we have concluded the investigation, we'll send you an email explaining our conclusion and the action we will take. Note that all transactions involving Linden dollars are subject to Linden Lab's Terms of Service. Tip: Even if you are able to log into your account, we recommend that you change your password immediately to something secure and unique. Changing your password regularly is one good way to protect the safety of your account. For information on how to change your password, see the How to change your password section of this article.
