  1. Sorry. That's what happens when I type freehand and don't bother to compile. :smileyembarrassed: I'm glad it worked, though. I'll go back and add the missing parens now.
  2. I can't get in world to try this, but can you test this way? list temp = llGetParcelDetails( llGetPos(),[PARCEL_DETAILS_GROUP, PARCEL_DETAILS_OWNER]);if (llList2Key(temp,0) == llList2Key(temp,1) ){ llSay(0,"The parcel is owned by a group.");} Edited to add missing parentheses. Thanks, Talia
  3. Three to five business days, usually. Be sure that you have actually completed both steps of the withdrawal process, however. When you sell L$, the proceeds go into your Dollar balance. They sit there until you tell Linden Lab what to do with them. If you want to pay them out through PayPal, you have to issue a credit request. See more information at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Account-balance/ta-p/700015#Section_.2
  4. That web site has trouble with some browsers. Try switching to a different one. Firefox works for most people, and so does Chrome.
  5. This is an extremely common problem. We hear about it here several times a day, and in most cases it's extremely simple to fix. That'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. If the problem is chronixc and doesn't respond to the cures on that wiki site, THEN start worrying about more serious issues. It doesn';t sound like that's necessary in your case, however, if this is an "occasional" problem for you.
  6. Visit the Particle Lab in world, do all their tutorials, play with the freebies in their sandbox, and have fun. That's the way we all learn.
  7. You are a newbie as long as you consider yourself one, but there are always things to learn. SL is a complex place and it keeps changing, so there will always be parts of the experience that are new to you , no matter how long you are here. I've been around for over 5 years, and I discover something new about SL almost every day. Like, for example, what's a "login nic"? I have never heard the term before.
  8. It sounds as if you already know the answer. It is NO, you cannot get a Transaction History older than 30 days. That information is not available.
  9. Well, you may have just been living on borrowed time with wireless, because it does give a lot of SL residents problems. Still, if it's been OK for you that long, it's unlikely to have suddenly turned on you. My bet is that your ping time shot through the roof, or you have had a massive packet loss. If you can get in world long enough to check your Statistics Bar (CTRL + Shift+ 1), see what those numbers look like. If it takes more than about 200ms for a signal to get to San Francisco from your machine, or if you are losing more than a fraction of a percent of packets, SL's servers will drop the connection. SL is much more sensitive to instability than online games are, and certainly more than static things like e-mail and web browsing. Take a good look at your router. Reboot it just in case. Check too, to be sure that you don't have data cables running over unsheilded power lines, or any other obvious things that could mess up your signal. And I know you don't think it's the wireless, but look around to see if there are any new potential sources of interference (a new power line running through your back yard, or your neighbor's lights dimming suspiciously when he cranks up the TARDIS). It might not hurt to check with your ISP too, to be sure they aren't doing something odd to your service.
  10. I'd be surprised if the landowner had set the perms so than Everyone can terraform. That would be a griefer's paradise. The perms are probably restricted to the group that the parcel is set to, and you need to have a role in that group that allows you to terraform group land. Open the group's panel and click the Members & Roles tab. Find your own name, highlight it to verify what role you have, and then click the Roles tab and look at details for the role that you have been assigned. The associated abilities are listed at the bottom, so scroll through them until you get to Parcel Powers and see whether the box for "Always allow 'Edit Terrain'" is checked. Many landowners only give terraforming rights to people in a managerial role.
  11. Put the texture on an annoyingly huge prim, facing up, and park it no higher than 300m above the surface.
  12. Qwalyphi Korpov wrote [...] #1 - Second Life doesn't provide a voice mail type facility for offline messages. Nope. I was a surprise to me too --- well, not really, because I have never used Voice in SL, but still ..... We do have voicemail. If you have your IMs set to be forwarded to e-mail when you are not in world, a voice message is apparently delivered as a sound file attachment. We had a question about this just a couple of weeks ago in Answers. I responded the same way you did and was corrected >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Every-time-someone-voice-calls-me-it-goes-straight-to-voicemail/qaq-p/1492977/comment-id/22040#M22040 (See the Permalinks). More than this, I do not know.
  13. When you create an outfit, all you are doing is making a link for each item in the outfit to the original item elsewhere in your inventory. If the link is broken, the item will be missing from that outfit, but it's still in inventory. So just find it and wear it. Now, if the item you are looking for really is missing from your inventory, not just the outfit folder, then your locally cached inventory is out of sync with the real version on SL's servers. You'll need to rebuild it by clearing your cache. See here for the best way to do that >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/cache_clear It's written for the Phoenix viewer, but works for any SL viewer.
  14. This is yet another continuation of http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/need-help-getting-my-avatar-up-and-running/qaq-p/1539771 and other threads before it. PLEASE do not keep creating new threads. That makes it very difficult for people to know what has already been suggested. To continue adding information or responding to posts, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. If you have not had luck with any of the normal methods for curing a bake fail problem -- see here for a complete list >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_bake_fail --- then you seem to have a weak or intermittent Internet connection, as other people have suggested. A connection that is good enough for e-mail, web browsing, and online games is not necessarily good enough for SL. Read Nalates's blog very carefully to see how to diagnose and cure common connection issues >>> http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/
  15. It's up to the Lindens to decide when they want to add a new forum to the list here. You can't decide that. The best you can do is start a thread in an existing forum. My guess is that you'll probably want to post it here >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Role-Play/bd-p/RolePlay . If you didn't really mean that you want to start a "forum", but really meant that you want to create a Group in world, read here >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Creating-managing-moderating-and-disbanding-groups/ta-p/700111
  16. To access adult content, you must confirm that you are at least 18 years old by visiting the age verification web page. Aside from accessing adult content, to visit Adult-designated regions in Second Life or view Adult-rated search results, you must: Confirm that you are 18 years of age or older through the age verification web page.  Set your Viewer preferences to view adult content. See Accessing Adult land and content for instructions.
  17. If you "just" reactivated your account, you may have to wait a little bit before SL's servers know about it. The message that says ":This name is not available" generally means that the account owner has closed his or her account, or that LL has closed it. So, evidently you aren't completely re-activated yet. That might account for your other problems too, since you can't access your inventory if you don't exist. If you're still having this problem in another 24 hours, give LL's billing office a call and find out what the status of your account is. If you have a non-technical issue related to billing concerns, you can call the Linden Lab billing team at the following toll-free numbers: US/Canada: 800-294-1067 France: 0805-101-490 Germany: 0800-664-5510 Japan: 0066-33-132-830 Portugal: 800-814-450 Spain: 800-300-560 UK: 0800-048-4646 Brazil: 0800-762-1132 Long distance ( not free, but you can use Skype to save some cost ) : 703-286-6277 **Note: Support is offered only in English
  18. He'll be fine, and you should be able to see him if you just change your group tag (it doesn't make any difference which one.... just change it.), thenTP to a different sim and back. If you derendered him with Phoenix, you'll only need one other step, but it's simple ... 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.
  19. Continuation of http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/since-i-downloaded-the-new-sl-viewer-i-have-not-been-able-to-use/qaq-p/1537543/comment-id/23126#M23126 and http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/since-i-downloaded-the-new-sl-viewer-i-have-not-been-able-to-use/qaq-p/1537543 Please do not start yet another thread. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to add information to this post.. Please do NOT start a new thread. Curiously, as another person noticed in one of your earlier threads, you were not having this problem on April 14, barely a month ago. (See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Avatar/im-playing-sl-but-i-cnt-hear-any-music-in-any-place-i-hear/qaq-p/815887). So, what has changed since then?
  20. You can choose to feel insulted and let it bother you, or you can mute the person and walk away. I recommend muting and walking away. The Lindens won't get involved in a simple dispute between residents. Unless there is a TOS violation involved, it's all drama. Just go somewhere else.
  21. Most of the time when you have a recurring appearance problem with your avatar, it's because you have a flaky Internet connection. It may be fine for e-mail and web browsing, or playing online games, but not for the sort of continuous data streaming that SL relies on. People who use wireless for SL have this problem a lot, because wireless is not meant for this sort of environment. It is susceptible to interference from everything from cell phones to fluorescent light fixtures. Or your router may be failing, overheating, or just in need of a reboot. Unplug it from the power for few minutes to let it recover. Or maybe you have data cables that are running across unshielded power cords. Or maybe your ISP is having trouble. Read Nalates' blog to see how to handle these and other connection problems >>> http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/ Meanwhile, although you have tried some of the quick solutions to fixing your appearance -- the symptoms of the larger connection problem -- take a look at the full list of possibilities >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_bake_fail
  22. Linden Lab has been restarting many of the sims a lot recently as they upgrade server software, and of course the sim owner of your sim may be restarting it too. If your sim is currently offline, you should file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ . Select Land & Region >> Report an Offline Region. If you are a Premium member, you may also call Live Chat and ask them to find out why the sim is restarting frequently.

[...] In that call, llSensorRepeat( "", "", SCRIPTED | PASSIVE, 15.0, PI, 5.) , you are creating a mask by ORing the two codes together. When the sensor event processes the result of a scan, it compares the result with that mask implicitly, effectively asking if (llDetectedType(0) & (SCRIPTED | PASSIVE) ) //That is, if it is TRUE that the detected object is either scripted or passive...{ //This is a real hit} Notice that because you are making a bitwise comparison, OR is | , not ||, and the AND is &, not &&. Now, if you want to know exactly which one of the two acceptable conditions was met, you can always ask about llDetectedType specifically .....
  24. If you are looking for a completed script, the place to post is the Wanted forum. If you are looking for someone to write a script for you, the correct place is the InWorld Employment forum. If you need help figuring out why a script you are writing is doing unexpected things, you are in the right place.
  25. It's quirky, or at least there's more to it than meets the eye -- my eye, anyway. I have been building things in SL for over five years and have never understood autoreturn fully. Like you, Innula, I have had the experience of turning on autoreturn and having a mess of my objects returned instantly because they were set to the wrong group. Now that Firestorm gives you the option to always set rez objects to the parcel's group if possible, I have given up worrying about it.
