  1. That is the permission panel for the parcel that you are standing in -- presumably your own parcel. If those boxes are UNchecked, it means that nobody but the landowner (you) is allowed to rez items or bring items (other than worn items) into the parcel. If the Group box is checked, then Group members may also do those things and, obviously, if Everyone is checked, then it's a free-for-all. As the parcel owner, you may make your parcel's options more restrictive than the restrictions for the whole sim, but not less restrictive. If the sim owner has decided that nobody but group members will be allowed to rez items on the entire sim, for example, you cannot decide that it's OK on your parcel.
  2. Type the word "baby" in the search field in Marketplace and start browsing the hundreds of listings....... :smileywink:
  3. As far as I know, you can't. Like you, I'm still getting used to Direct Delivery, but my mental picture of the folder is that it is acting like a box --- the same way that things used to behave if you put them in a box yoursekf and loaded them in to your Magic Box. Once the folder is uploaded, you can't get into it. You can only replace it with an updated folder. That's pretty easy, though. It took me a while to find this information the first time I had to update a listing, because it's buried about three clicks into the Knowledge Base ........ If you want to sell a different or updated version of an item using a current listing: In the upper-right, choose My Marketplace > Merchant home. On the left, click Manage inventory. Find the item you want to update, and choose Actions > Edit at the far right. Click Search without entering anything in the text box. A list of inventory items appears. These are the inventory items not associated with any listing information. Click the name of the new item. Next to SL object name, the name of the new item now appears. Click the Update button at the bottom to save your changes. So, dump the correct items into your Merchant Outbox and upload it to Marketplace as a new folder, and then follow those directions to update your page.

    Group Chat

    Wouldn't it just be easier to eject the person? After all, if the owner doesn't want the person to talk, why would she want her in the group? Anyway ... the answer is no.
  5. You may have opened one of the console windows inadvertently, probably by typing a keyboard shortcut when you hought you were doing something else. Open your Develop menu (CTRL + Alt + Q) and then the submenu of Consoles to see what is checked, if anything. Then UNcheck it.
  6. Are you sure it's being sent to the right e-mail address? Check on your dashboard at secondlife.com >> Account >> Contact Information . If you can log in to Firestorm with that password, though, you ought to be able to log in to V3 as well. SL's server's don't care which viewer sends the login information. My first suspicion would be that you have mistyped either your username or the password, so now it's been saved incorrectly and is being auto-filled when you try to log in. Being a crummy typist, that's the sort of thing I would do.
  7. That all depends on how the script was written. In general, a script with a touch event will only respond to touches on the prim that it was placed in, unless it was placed in the root prim -- in which case, touching anywhere in the link set generally activates it. The same is also generally true in reverse. That is, a simple door script that is in a child prim typically moves ONLY that prim, but one that is placed in the root of a link set moves everything. HOWEVER, any particular script could be written to move another prim (or all prims) regardless of where the script is placed. The simplest door script I can imagine off the top of my head would be one that looks like this... float gAngle = 90.0; //Put your own opening angle here, negative if necessaryrotation gTurn;default{ state_entry() { gTurn = llEuler2Rot(<0.0,0.0,gAngle*DEG_TO_RAD>) ; } touch_end (integer num) { llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[PRIM_ROT_LOCAL, (gTurn = (ZERO_ROTATION/gTurn))*llGetLocalRot()]); }} That script, in the door prim itself, ought to open and close it on touch without affecting anything else. Edit : Fixed typo .. Missing parenthesis. ETA: Oh, I should have said .... That will rotate the prim from its center, so you'll have to cut the door in half with PathCut B and E to put the hinge at its edge. This is essentially Void Springer's well-known hinge script.
  8. As Peter said, this forum is not a place to look for free scripts. As Dora said, however, type Split Payment Vendor into the search field in the LSL Scripting forum and see what you find ..... :smileytongue:
  9. If you are talking about IM logs, they ought to be stored in a user file on your computer (or your ancient computers, wherever they are), at an address that looks like C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\SecondLife\rolig_loon . You would need to have set you Preferences to save those logs, of course. Most of us don't routinely save chat logs as well as IMs, because doing that adds to lag and uses up an incredible amount of disk memory in no time. If you did save them for some reason, though, they ought to be in another folder in the same vicinity as the IM logs. Linden Lab saves that same information as well. They use it, for example, in investigating abuse claims. Again, however, they can't possibly store all that information for the thousands of SL residents for very long, because of storage limitations. Even if they let you have access to the information --- a very unlikely if --- there's no way they're going to have logs that are 3 years old.
  10. Good question, Peter. The physical analogy would be a chip on which you can read a voltage or a milliamperage at each pin and feed that information to whatever is hardwired to it. Here, each of the "chips" is an autonomous object of one or more prims -- a black box that takes an input signal and yields an output. You dump that output information as a comma-delimited string to an object's Description field and then let the script that controls the full logic circuit use llGetObjectDetails to read the information and use it as appropriate. No communication channels needed at all, and you can rearrange the "chips" by simply addressing them in a different order in your script. I'm no engineer, but if a chemist can figure out how to do that, it can't be all that hard.
  11. Mister Webwyre wrote: [...] What I'm trying to figure out now, is how to "graphically" illustrate it with (linked?) prims, e.g three prims for an AND gate, the two inputs and the output, and how to show gates connected and their states. I'm wondering if an entire CPU / or circuit would have to be one linkset (is there a limit to how many prims in a linkset ?), or if I can make each logic gate a linkset, and then use chat to communicate between the linksets ? Mike Visit the fourth floor at the College of Scripting, Music & Science at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Horsa/52/221/113 to run through their panels on representation of logic in LSL. It's a short step from there to creating modules that you can use as linked objects in a model. You cannot daisy-chain child links in LSL. As you've already read, we do not have hierarchical linking. However, objects can certainly communicate with each other, so you can daisy-chain separate modules to create a logic board. I have run across several like that in the last few years, but I don't find a current valid LM to recommend at the moment.
  12. All of scripting is just an exercise in logic. If you want to apply it to the problem of creating electronic circuits, that's fine. It's certainly been done enough times, but there's always room for a fresh approach. I'd suggest starting with a few of the basic tutorials at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Tutorial to see how LSL compares to other languages that you may be familiar with. Because it is an event-driven language, you may find that it is better suited to the sort of problem that you have in mind. When you've written something that you want to share or if you run up against problems while you;re writing, feel free to post your work here. Someone will be glad to help.
  13. I wouldn't bother. All Marketplace merchants will be required to give up their Magic Boxes sometime early this summer and move over to the Direct Delivery system. The original date was June 1, but it has been delayed because of bugs in DD. Still, Magic Boxes days are numbered.
  14. Sorry. There's no TOS violation here, so the Lindens won't touch it. You'll just have to be more careful next time.
  15. Oh, don't worry about getting stupid answers from crazy housewives. There aren't any here. Just a bunch of us volunteers, sitting around waiting for rude people to ask perfect strangers for free advice.
  16. It's impossible to answer a question like this. It's like going to your auto repair shop and saying "When I drive my car, I hear a funny noise. What's wrong?" O.....K. So what noise does it make? .......... If your friend wants help in tracking down a problem, she she tell us exactly what error message she has been seeing. Better yet, she should be asking the person who made the collar, or at least the merchant who sold it.
  17. If you cannot use the Lindex for some reason, you may want to buy L$ through a third party exchange. Please be very careful, however. Some exchanges that you can find on the Internet charge extremely high rates and may even be phishing sites that will steal your account information. I would recommend using only third party exchanges that are known to Linden Lab and have been reliable in the past. Here is a list >>> https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Archive/Third_Party_Linden_Dollar_Exchanges.
  18. Try turning off shadows, if you have had them enabled. You may also want to turn off Basic Shaders. Both of those features have made some textures turn black for SL residents. If neither of those solutions work -- or even if they do -- you may need to update your graphics card drivers. 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.
  19. That's highly unlikely. Despite its headaches with the recent introduction of Direct Delivery, Linden Lab can't afford to abandon one of the most lucrative arms of its business. Besides, the outcry would be unimaginably fierce. When you hear a rumor like this, the smartest thing to do is look at Linden Lab's own blogs ( http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Blogs/ct-p/Blogs ) to see if they have posted anything related. If not, it's 99% certain to be bogus. On a side note .... I know that Marketplace offers convenience, but please don't ignore in-world shops. It's often much easier to walk around an item, get a feel for how big it is and what it looks like from the other side, try it on for size, or click a button and see how it works. Personally, I would never buy a skin or a shape unless I could see it in world and try on a dozen demos in the shop, and wouldn't consider buying a building unless I could walk through it. (Hehehe... and I have a few buildings for sale in Marketplace. Go figure.). Besides, shopping in world can be an adventure. I always find interesting things in the shop next door.......
  20. Aside from sending a friendly note to Brooke Linden, I don't think there is much you can do. As you pointed out, you are not the potentially aggrieved person, so you cannot file a formal complaint. If Brooke is not the correct person to send a note to, I assume that she will know what to do with it, and you will have done what you can.
  21. You can download libsecondlife from http://swik.net/libsecondlife or libmetaverse from http://www.ohloh.net/p/openmetaverse . Until your note, however, I had never heard of Max/msp. Even after Googling it I don't have a clue about how you might connect it to Second Life. Perhaps people who are active in OpenSim would know where to start.
  22. The easy ( and often correct ) answer is that you are a member of one or more groups that expect their members to share equal proportions of their liabilities (costs of advertizing in Search, for example) and assets (proceeds from land sales, maybe). For most groups, that amounts to a few L$ every couple of weeks. If you do not like having to pay your share, you can either leave the group or send the group owner a note and question the group's policy. (BTW, that's the default for groups, so a group owner has to make a specific decision not to share costs and income.) To be really sure where your L$ are going, of course, you just need to open your dashboard at secondlife.com and navigate to Account >> Transaction History and see who you have been sending money to recently.
  23. It's hard for me to understand exactly what problem you are describing. Take a look at this JIRA, however, and see if it looks like your problem >>> https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-4660 . If so, some people have been able to fix the problem by changing the language for their viewer to ENGLISH instead of their own language. If your native language is German, for example, try changing it in Preferences >> General to English. There are other ideas in that JIRA report too. You should maybe add your information to the report -- including information about your own computer --- to help Linden Lab find a solution. If that is not the problem you are having, you can add more information to explain by clicking on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and selecting EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.
  24. Darn. The simple bake fail issues (+90% of the ones we hear about) are transient things that are little more than annoyances. In this case, it looks like the bake fail is a symptom of something deeper. My bet is still on a connection issue.
  25. Not that you need the information now, but for future reference ....... You have a third option on Blender. If you type S and then hold down the Shift key while you type the letter of an axis (so, for example, Shift +Z), Blender will resize on the other two axes but not the one you named. So, typing S and then Shift+Z lets you resize on the X-Y plane only.
