Nyll is absolutely right in her suggestions. There is a long list of cures for bake fail in that link that she pointed you toward. They work. If you keep having this problem over and over again, though, you ought to be asking "Why me?" The answer is that all of the bake fail solutions are taking care of the symptoms, but not your real problem. You have a crummy Internet connection. Bake fail occurs because your avatar appearance files are being corrupted as they move back and forth between your computer and SL's servers. Information is being lost along the way. Chances are very good that they are being lost very close to your own machine. If you're using wireless, that's one big no-no. Everything interferes with wireless, and wireless was never intended for continuous data streaming anyway. Also, your router could be losing its grip -- in need of a reboot to clear its RAM and get a fresh hold on your IP address. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes to do that. There are more advanced solutions for a bad connection, but those two should go a long way toward a cure.

Your report is just that .... a report. LL investigates to see if there is reason to believe that a TOS violation is involved. They have access to chat logs and IM logs that we don't, and they obviously have access to our accounts, so they can more easily figure out who's behind the avs and alts. If they decide that the evidence is slim, or that nobody violated the TOS, they may drop it. If they decide that a sanction is warranted, they'll never tell you what it was. That's between LL and the person being sanctioned. Watch this video to get a better idea of the process >>>

So, when you write your script, include the textures by name in a list in your script, so that you can call them in a llDialog. That will require having a second list with the UUIDs in the same order as the name list, or perhaps creating a single strided list that alternates names and UUIDs. Then, when you choose a specific texture with the dialog, apply it with llSetTexture(llList2String(texture_uuid_list, idx), face_number); If you're not quite sure how to construct dialogs, see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/DialogMenus

Which log are you looking at? If you set the Preferences correctly, all of your IMs -- complete converstions -- should be stored on your hard drive. To find it, you will need to show hidden folders.Now you need to locate the folder in which all those logs are saved: Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USERNAME]\Application Data\SecondLife Windows Vista: C:\Users\[uSERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife Windows 7: C:\Users\[uSERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife Mac: /Users/[YOUR USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/SecondLife linux: ~/.secondlife The last part of each of those addresses may be different, depending on which viewer you are using. If you are using Firestorm, for example, the folder will end with Firestorm instead of Second Life. Anyway, in that folder, you'll find a subfolder with your avatar's name on it. If you have alts, they will also have folders. Open that folder and you'll find a searate folder for ach person you have ever had an IM conversation with. It's all there, in great glory.

Nope. It's doing fine. :smileywink: Try using a different web browser. For reasons I have never understood, SL's web sites do not like Internet Explorer, but seem to have a great time with Firefox and Chrome.

That game? You mean Second Life? It does sound like you need to update the drivers for your graphics card. It's extremely easy. Go to the web site for the manufacturer who made the graphics card and follow directions. They should all be on their web site. Drivers are just programs, like anything else you download and run on your computer. Mac drivers are included with OS upgrades. However, to determan what card you have, select “About this Mac” from the Apple menu, then click “More Info”. Under Hardware select Graphics/Displays If you are not sure what type of video card you have, use GPU-Z found (win only) here. For linux, in a console use: lspci | grep VGA Nvidia Video Driver Latest driver Last checked Feb 6th- Windows: 285.62 (Oct 24) beta: 295.51 (Jan 31) - Linux: 290.1 (Nov 22)ATI Video Driver Latest driver Last checked Feb 6th- Windows and Linux: 12.1 (Jan 25)Intel Video Driver Intel driver download page Intel does not have a universal driver set. Please go to Intel's site and select the appropriate download.

Interesting question, but this Answers service isn't set up for discussion. We're not Lindens either. We're all SL residents like you. All we do is answer questions about how SL works (or why it doesn't). If you really want to discuss the question, try posting it in General Discussion. (No Lindens there, either, but at least you can have a decent discussion. :smileytongue: )

When you download the viewer, it installs automatically and puts a shortcut on your desktop, Just click on it, the same way you would start anything on your desktop.

What to do if you forget your password If you know your username but have forgotten your password, go to the password recovery page. Enter your username and click Send Instructions to have instructions on how to create a new password sent to the email address connected to the account . You'll need to answer the security question you chose when creating your Second Life account. Be sure to check your junk mail/spam folder. If you can't recall the answer to your security question, just contact Customer Support, preferably by opening a support case. You'll be asked to verify your identity and, working together, we can reset your security question. We apologize in advance that support cannot retrieve passwords. Luckily, this won't be an issue once we reset your security question.

Also, avoid using llSleep unless you really have to. There's no good reason to use it here, especially since it's messing with the timer. llSleep stops everything until the sleep time is over. In this case, your timer fires five seconds after you click the object. Then, once the timer fires, the entire script sleeps for another 3 seconds, moves your object, sleeps for another three seconds, moves the object again, and so on..... Meanwhile, the touch_start event (and anything else that your script might eventually want to do (like recive messages) is disabled. There are many ways to do what you want (or doing variations on the theme) without using llSleep. For example .... integer First;vector Home;default{ state_entry() { Home = llGetPos(); //Record a "Home" position } touch_start(integer num_detected) { llSetPos(Home); //Always start at "Home" llSetTimerEvent(5.0); //Set the timer to fire after 5 seconds First = -2; // And set a counter } timer() { ++First; //Increment the counter if (First == -1) //It will be = -1 the first time the timer fires { llSetPos(llGetPos()+<0,-5,0>); // So make the first move llSetTimerEvent(3.0); //And reset the timer to fire every 3 seconds } else if (First < 3) //And for the next three timer firings (First = 0,1,2) ... { //Select the position offsets from a list and apply one each time the timer fires //And don;t forget to correct for the object's rotation llSetPos(llGetPos() + (vector)llList2String([<5,0,0>,<0,5,0>,<-5,0,0>],First)*llGetRot()); } else //This is now the fifth time the timer has fired, so First = 3 { llSetTimerEvent(0.0); //So shut off the timer } }} That gets rid of the useless Toggle variable, BTW. If you interrupt this script by touching the object again (which you can do, now that llSleep doesn't prevent it), it zips back to its "Home" position and starts over again.

Try dropping your Max Bandwidth. That's WAY too high, and it may be what's causing your strange logouts. Your Max Bandwidth should be at about 75% to 80% of your measured download speed ( http://speedtest.net/ ). For most people that's in the range of 1200 to 1500 KBps. BTW, you aren't using wireless, are you?

Gee, I dunno, Peggy. That's one of the newbie female outfits. There must be thousands of people who have started SL wearing that thing. I've never seen that flaw before. Wonder what it is?

If you have full perms, you ought to be able to sell the items there. You obviously can't sell a no-transfer item, and for the next few months you can't use Direct Delivery for one-of-a-kind items like those either, but you can still put them in a Magic Box if you have one.

Calling the function is easy. You just type detectedWinner(); Scripting is 90% logic and 10% syntax, though, so that's the easy part. The challenge is to work through the logic of your script and decide where to call detectedWinner. Offhand, I'd suggest putting it in the setTileTo function, or right after you call that function. After all, you'll want to check after each move the see whether it has resulted in a win, right? This is perhaps a hard way to learn, because you are modifying someone else's work. That means that you have to be able to read what another scripter did and understand his/her flow of logic. If you had written the script from the start, you would have a clearer idea of what it's meant to do.

Arwen is probably right, then. Add your voice to the forums and the JIRAs and wait for LL's developers to find a cure.

Ah, so then "what comes with the avatar" is a modesty skin, designed so that SL doesn't shock young newbies by letting them see their own naked bodies. There ought to be a few non-modesty skins in the Library folder in your inventory, and you can find freebie skins in Marketplace and in world that will work until you can buy a better quality skin that fits your self image. If you're under 18, of course, you'll have to wait a bit before you are allowed to access the Mature or Adult shops where those are available.

Thanks for posting those specs (in the Permalink to my last post). Your machine looks like it should be able to handle a V3 level viewer with no difficulty but I do notice hat your packet loss is marginally high --- perhaps high enough to drop your connection if you have occasional spikes. Imprudence is a V1 generation viewer, so it's a bit more tolerant of packet loss than the other viewers you have tried (except Phoenix, but I think it may still expect a more stable connection too). You didn't say whether you are getting any error messages, but I suspect that you're not, so you are not crashing. You are disconnecting. That packet loss is likely a local problem. If you are using wireless, get rid of it and move to a direct cable connection. Wireless is not only susceptible to interference from many sources, but it was never designed for continuous data transfer. It handles data in bursts, which makes it harder for SL to handle. If you're still having the problem without wireless, suspect your router next. Reboot it by unplugging it from the power for a few minutes. It wouldn' hurt to restart you computer then too. If you're still having problems, take a look at Nalates's blog for other connection suggestions >>> http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/ BTW, the EDIT option is under the Options link in the upper right corner of your question. I know, this is goofy software.

It's a rather drastic measure, like swatting a mosquito with a cannon. Next time you have to detach things, just detach them. If the scripted object isn't on you, then it has to be nearby. That's going to take more detective work. If you're lucky, you may be able to find it with a beacon. Type CTRL + Alt + Shift + N and then select "Scripted objects" to highlight any scripted objects around you. Once again, try taking things back to inventory until you find the thing. It may not be easy if the object is small or transparent (highlight it with CTRL + Alt + T ).

It's a bit hard to know what's going on. What "crash issues" are you having? Are you really crashing, or disconnecting? Any error messages? How far through the login procss do you get? It would also help to know something about your computer and Internet connection (you're not using wireless, are you?). If you can get in world with Imprudence, go to Help >> About Imprudence and cut & paste the contents of that window back here to this thread. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to add that stuff. Please do NOT start a new thread.

You're evidently wearing a scripted object that has activated that animation, so you'll have to find it and detach it. Open your inventory, click the Worn tab, and start detaching things until it stops. It's going to be in a prim attachment somewhere -- maybe your hair, if not a piece of jewelry or something like that.

One obvious possibility is that no one in SL has been sending you e-mail since 9:52 SLT. I have received almost none myself, but I don't find that very unusual on a Sunday. Have you tried sending yourself an IM from one of your alts to another? I imagine that you have checked the Grid Status page, as I just did, and found that there are no grid-wide problems reported at the moment. There are also no new JIRAs regarding e-mail delivery failure. You might check your e-mail provider and be sure that they haven't had a service disruption, and check your spam filter to be sure that things haven't beeen sent there by accident. The only other possibility I can think of is that you are seeing some effect of https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7540 . If that's the case, the workaround is to mute someone --- anyone at all. You may unmute them again if you wish, but the act of muting somehow cures SVC-7540.

Well, the immediate problem is that you have a user-defined function called detectWinner, but you never use it. :smileywink: BTW, I know that we sometimes ask people to post their entire script so we can see where a problem is (and in this case that's how I could see that you never called detectWinner), but it's often counterproductive to post the whole ball of wax if you have a question about one specific part of it. It's a real pain to read through someone else's entire code to guess where they have made a logical error.

Hehehe.... It did make it a little easier to spot the newbies in the crowd.

My guess is that you may not even know what an AO (Animation Overrider) is yet, since you've been in SL for only a couple of weeks. The default animations that move new, out-of-the-box avatars in SL are a whole lot better than they were a few years ago, but they are still pretty lame. An AO is a scripted device that you wear on your viewer screen to override those default animations and replace them with ones of your own choosing. Use you search tool in world to look for places that sell animations. There are a zillion of them, and almost all of them will offer one or more AO's. Some are packaged for sale, with a set of animations already loaded. Others are free, allowing you to load them with animations that you buy anywhere in SL. If you use the Firestorm viewer, it has an AO built in to it, so you don't have to go looking for a commercial one at all. Once you have an AO, start shopping for animations that match your personal image. If you don't want to be an old man, get animations that make you look your age and style.

The smartest thing to do is to ditch that ancient script and write your own. That script was maybe state of the art back in 2006 or 2007, but you can write a better one today, now that we have PRIM_ROT_LOCAL and PRIM_POS_LOCAL. You can also do without at least half of the baggage that it carries in user defined functions. That may have once been a "timeless" script, but it is obsolete now. I suspect that's why it disappeared from the LSL wiki library quite a while ago.
