  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Hehe ...Thanks, Echo. I'm on holidays and feeling quite relaxed. The Chardonnay helps too.
  6. Myka Ghost wrote: Why is it so difficult to get real help with Second Life? [..... ] No one seems to be able to help ever!!! [....] Ever? 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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/
  9. 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.
  10. Viewers play a minor part in voice functionality. The bulk of voice support is given by the external application called SLVoice, which is made by the SL voice provider, Vivox. Voice failures are almost always due to one of the following reasons: Your ISP is throttling or blocking the voice service; failure of the Vivox service; voice issues on the region you are on; voice being throttled by bandwidth set incorrectly - please check it by following the instructions here; voice hardware (mic, headset) not configured correctly in your operating system settings; voice hardware not configured correctly in the viewer; another application has your voice hardware in use (example, Skype); your anti virus software has “mangled” the voice application; see here. You can test voice by going to Voice Echo Canyon. If voice is working correctly for you, anything you say there will be echoed back to you. For more suggestions, see http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_voice
  11. A basic tgeleporter is extremely simple, but there are many ways to add bells and whistles to it. There's no way to tell why yours doesn't work without knowing exactly what it looks like inside. If you don't have instructions with it, I suggest looking for a different one. Don't pay for it, though. There are hundreds of free ones out there.
  12. Sometimes things just take way longer to rez than they ought to. It's one of the many faces of lag. Chic Aeon reminded me just now in another thread in Answers that you can sometimes make a missing mesh object render properly by right clicking on the place where you know it has to be. The same thing also works for regular prims for some reason. The top of my garden wall fails to rez at least once a week, for example, but I can bring it back to life by right clicking where it ought to be. I don't know why it works. I suspect that when your graphics card has too many things to render at once, it simply gets overwhelmed and decides not to render some of them. Right clicking may focus its attention on the task at hand. Give it a try anyway.
  13. I can't get in world to test this script, but it compiles OK. If the directions are to be believed, there's something missing here, though. There's no way that clicking and quickly releasing is going to create a new block. There's no llRezAtRoot statement in the script. The script obviously assumes that the block is initially physical too, since it makes the block non-physical when you touch it.

    my house is invisible

    Cool. Cheaper than glass too. You probably derendered it. If you are using the Firestorm viewer, from the top menu bar, select World >> Asset Blacklist. Find the item you wish to remove (your house), click it to highlight it, then click the Remove selected items from blacklist button. You will then need to force a view refresh, so change your active group to a different one (any, it doesn't matter which), and then cam around some OR TP out and back. If you are using the Phoenix viewer.... Access the Asset Blacklist from the Phoenix menu at the top of your screen. Click on the item you want to rerender, note avatars show as objects. Click the Remove button. Change your group tag, or teleport out and back. The object, or avatar will render in a few seconds. If you are using any other viewer, TP to a different sim and back, or relog. Your house should re-render automatically.
  15. You shouldn't need to abandon the one-script approach. You can use PRIM_TEXT in your SLPPF function call to create a dummy hover text.
  16. C'est un problème de communication entre votre ordinateur et les serveurs de SL. Informations sur votre apparence doit être "cuit" sur votre avatar sur votre propre ordinateur, enregistré là-bas, puis téléchargées sur SL avant qu'il ne soit entièrement visible là. Si l'information nécessaire est foiré dans la transmission, vous pouvez vous retrouver avec un fichier foireuse sur votre ordinateur, ou les serveurs SL peut se retrouver avec une image foireuse. De toute façon, l'apparence par défaut de votre AV pour un nuage moelleux. Ce qui fonctionne pour réparer les dégâts pour une personne ne fonctionne pas nécessairement pour la prochaine personne, et il ne peut pas être la même chose qui fonctionne pour vous demain. Voir la liste complète des possibilités ici ( en anglais, je regrette) >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_bake_fail. Commencez par les choses simples en haut de la liste et de travailler jusqu'à ce que vous trouver ce qui fonctionne pour vous aujourd'hui. Vous pouvez constater que le problème à coup sûr cuire revient à plusieurs reprises, même après que vous fixez-le avec une des suggestions sur cette page wiki. Si c'est le cas, vous avez une connexion Internet chroniquement faible. Il ya de nombreuses étapes à prendre pour le réparer. Peut-être les plus simples - celles qui fonctionnent le mieux pour la plupart des gens - sont les suivants: (1) Ne pas utiliser sans fil. Les connexions sans fil sont intrinsèquement moins stable que les connexions directes par câble et sont plus vulnérables aux interférences. Puis, (2) Redémarrez votre routeur. Débranchez-le de la puissance pendant quelques minutes pour laisser effacer sa mémoire vive. Le rebrancher et laisser mettre la main fraîche sur une adresse IP. Edit: Aha ... Val a d'abord ici. :smileysurprised::smileywink:
  17. An unstable Internet connection can lead to apparent inventory loss in Second Life. High packet loss may cause your inventory to be unable to retrieve a complete list of items from Second Life’s servers. Wireless and satellite connections are unsupported for this reason, and other types of connectivity may yield similar results. There may be a temporary problem with Second Life or your connection to the Internet. If the list of items in your Inventory usually loads without incident, temporary inventory loss may go away within 24 hours. In addition, clear your cache as described in Clearing Second Life's cache, logout and then log back in and look in your Inventory Window to see if the items have reappeared. Using those simple instructions may not be enough, howver, so also take a look at the more omplete instructions here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear . There are lots of other suggstions for recovering lost inventory here >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Inventory_loss
  18. Il ne suffit pas de ré-installer le spectateur SL. Vous devez supprimer toutes les traces de l'installation précédente, y compris chacun des fichiers qui contiennent des préférences personnelles. Le processus est connu comme un "clean re-install". Instructions (en anglais) sont ici >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_clean_reinstall.
  19. Use llPassTouches(FALSE). To make it work, you will need to have a dummy touch_start event in your child script. See more here.
  20. When you buy things from Marketplace, they should be delivered to your Received Items folder, waaaaaaay at the bottom of your inventory. You may move them from there to any other folder in your inventory. If you are buying items that the merchant has not prepared for Direct Delivery, however, they will not go to the Received Item folder. Instead, as you discovered, they will either go to a folder with their own name or will go to another appropriate folder in your inventory. For example, clothing items may go to your Clothing folder. Before Linden Lab invented the Received Items folder a few months ago, that's the way that all things were delivered. The message you are receiving is telling you that you items were delivered by the old Magic Box system. Take a good look at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Using-your-inventory/ta-p/1370823#Section_.2.1 and gthe rest of hat KB article to learn some tricks for finding things in your inventory.
  21. The Firestorm AO is activated by clicking the button labeled AO. To disable it, press the button again, and it will appear released. You cannot disable the AO with the Stop Animations function in the Avatar >> Avatar Health menu because your AO is built to reactivate animations automatically as long as you have it turned on. The Firestorm AO has many important options. You can read about them here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/animation_overrider or by downloading an audio version of the instructions here ..... Introduction Using the AO Loading a Prepared AO Notecard Creating an AO Manually Pay particular attention to the Override Sits function and the Be Smart function. They are designed to tell your AO whether it should always use the animations that you have programmed into it, or whether it should defer to the animations that are built into whatever you sit on.
  22. Ooo.... I missed the Russian thread. St. Petersburg is on my bucket list, along with about 200 other places that I want to visit some day. Most likely in my dreams.
  23. If you don;t get an error message, you are not crashing. You are disconnecting. That usually has nothing to do with your viewer unless it has been overloading your graphics card. Usually a disconnect is a problem with your router or some other system component.
  24. No, you can't change your username at all, ever. It's like your Social Security Number in RL. Maybe if you go into the witness protection program, though ....... :smileytongue: You can open a brand new account and start a new life in SL as an alt. You can have up to 5 accounts at your IP address with no problem. Each one is a different person with its own inventory and account balance. You can give L$ and transferrable items to your alts, but anything that is non-transferrable has to stay where it is.
  25. "Spare time"? There's always more than enough scripting and building to keep me busy, and it's all fun. When I need a break, I join friends in dancing or conversation. I don't explore as much as I used to, but every once in a while someone sends me an LM to a fun spot.
