Peter's right. This sort of problem may be tackled more easily with keyframed motion. Take a look at this lengthy thread in which the OP was trying to create a vehicle (a follower, in her case) that would track properly and move smoothly around corners >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Scripting/Trying-to-make-an-object-follower/td-p/1354695

Each of those problems sounds like a communication lapse between your computer and SL's servers. Changes to your appearance are all made on your own computer, where they are baked into a single composite image and uploaded to the servers. The inventory that you access in your viewer is a locally cached copy of the original that is in the servers, and is updated on your computer whenever you add or delete items. Teleporting involves transferring information about your avatar from one set of servers to another, again with a lot of communication between the servers and your own computer. The weakest link is often your router, which may simply need to be rebooted. Just unplug it from the power for a few minutes to clear its RAM and get a fresh grasp on an IP address. If you have been using wireless, get off it. Wireless is susceptible to all manner of interference and bandwidth loss, and is a common source of problems for SL residents. To rebuild local cache that may have been corrupted by flaky communication, go to Preferences >> Network and click the Clear Cache button. Then log in to a quiet sim like Smith or Aqua and type a single letter in the Search field of your Inventory to jump start the rebuilding process. Don't do ANYTHING until it is finished. Finally, in the year or more since you last logged in, there have been several major upgrades to each of the popular viewers and to SL's servers. Unless you have also upgraded your own computer, it may be less compatible with SL than it used to be, so you may have difficulty with some actions that used to be easy. You may need to revisit your Preferences settings, lowering draw distance or your quality slider and making other adjustments.

Don't bother with trying to earn money for now. There are more important things to do, like learning how to get around. Besides, there are so many free things in SL that you don't really need much money anyway. As others have said, most of us bring money in world from RL. Save your lunch money today, and bring it in world next time. You'll be amazed at what you can buy for the price of a burger and fries.

Well, we might be able to offer some help or advice if you had told us what the "problem with the land" is. Sadly, however, you didn't. If you'd like to add that information now, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread. BTW, Lindens never come here. This is a Resident-to-Resident forum.

Before you begin, familiarize yourself with Linden Lab's policy on Scripted Agents (bots), so that you don't run afoul of some rules about how you may use them. >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Bot_policy Basically, a bot is a an avatar under control of a computer program instead of a human being. You can created a bot by opening a new account -- an alt -- and registering it as a Scripted Agent. You do that by navigating to your dashboard at secondlife.com and then to Account >>> Scripted Agent Status. You'll see a notice that says "The avatar associated with this account is identified as being controlled by a human. Please select "change" to self-identify your avatar as a scripted agent (sometimes referred to as a "bot")." Follow directions and you are "legally" a bot with a separate account from your own avatar's -- just like any other alt that you may have. Then you need to actually install and set up the software to do the controlling. Take a look here for some of your options >>> http://www.smartbots2life.com/ and at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Second_Life_bot_software_comparison for a discussion of the advantage/disadvantages of hosting your bot on your own PC or on a hosting service. Among the considerations is the one that you mention -- whether your bot stays in world all of the time or logs out when you power down your PC for the day.

WooHoo!!!! Congratulations. Debugging can be frustrating and tiring, but there's an amazing feeling of relief and satisfaction that comes over you in the instant when you realize that you have finally solved the problem. You have earned it.

This doesn't happen often, but it's extremely annoying when it does. These suggestions, from the fine support team at Firestorm, usually help you recover........ If you find yourself suddenly starting to wear your entire inventory, here are some suggestions for how to fix the problem. Please do them one at a time; the initial methods are similar than later ones, and will often work. If a method fails, then move on to the next one. Please also follow the instructions as exactly as possible. Method 1 Right click the Current Outfit folder and select Remove from Current Outfit or Take Off. Method 2 Open the Current Outfit folder (no, don't click on the Worn tab; find the Current Outfit folder), and delete everything inside it, then relog. Method 3 If the above doesn't solve the problem, the fix below usually works - though it may need to be repeated a couple of times: Go to Hippo Hollow , Smith, or some other nice quiet, low-lag sim. Make a temporary folder in your inventory; in that, put a *copy* of your skin, shape, hair base and eyes - and if you like, a base layer garment like jeans or a dress. NO PRIMS Right click the folder you just made, and select Replace Outfit. No Add, not wear, but REPLACE Once that has done, relog to last location - ie, back to Hippo Hollow. Make sure you are still wearing only the things from the temporary folder you made At this point, you can put your normal avatar back on.

Go to your dashboard at secondlife.com and click on Account >> Cancel Account . Think twice before you do it, though. First of all, you won't get any sort of a refund. If you have paid tier for a parcel or more and you aren't at the end of your billing period, you won;t get anything back fort the unused portion, so you might as well stick around and get what you paid for. Second, if you change your mind a month from now and want to come back -- quite a few people do that -- it will cost you $9.95 to re-activate your account, and even then you might not get all of your inventory back. So.... if you're a Premium member, just abandon or sell land if you are close to the end of the billing period anyway, and drop back to being a Basic member, which doesn't cost a thing. Then walk away for a long vacation. You might be back. **Only uploaded images may be used in postings**://secondlife.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt=":smileywink:" title="Smiley Wink" />

Hmmmm.... That's not possible, at least if this is the only script in the linkset. The only prims that can be affected by this script are ones named "gun". Something else is changing the "holster" prims. It sounds like it's time to put llOwnerSay diagnostic statements in a few strategic spots so see exactly which prims the script is identifying as "gun" prims. BTW, while you're at it --- this won't affect the outcome of your tests, but will repair an error --- your changed event should look like this... changed (integer c){ if (c & CHANGED_OWNER) { llResetScript(); }}

The prims named "holster" shouldn't be affected one way or another by this script. All it's doing is changing the "gun" prims from visible to transparent and back again. Check to be sure that all of your prims are named the way you think they are. Incidentally, the variable named "i" doesn't need to be global.

Your refresh function sets all prims named "gun" to transparent and then immediately sets them all to visible. It might be easier to just define a global variable called gSeen and then write your listen event to say listen (integer channel, string name, key id, string message){ string ownerkey = llGetOwner(); if (msg == ownerkey + "draw") { gSeen = TRUE; } else if (msg == ownerkey + "sling") { gSeen = FALSE; } integer i = llGetNumberOfPrims(); while( i) { if (llGetLinkName(i) == "gun") { llSetLinkAlpha(i, gSeen,ALL_SIDES); } --i; }}

Check around. Maybe you're not the only one getting double posts. It's possible that some group member is reposting group messages that s/he receives for some obscure reason.

Sculpties are not obsolete, although mesh is more versatile and, as others have pointed out, more efficient. If you really want to make sculpties, though, you don't need to pay anything for the Blender plug-in. Use JASS-2, which includes Blender, Primstar, Python, and is all set for easy upload to SL. The basic version is free and quite serviceable. The Pro version is less than $10 US, as I recall. See http://blog.machinimatrix.org/jass/ for more information.

The LSL Scripting forum is a place for scripters to share insights or help resolve puzzles in their scripts. If you are writing your own LSL script and need some help getting over a confusing spot, therefore, you have come to the right spot. If you are looking for a freebie script or want to hire a scripter to write something for you, however, you should be posting in the Wanted forum or the Inworld Employment forum. I'm not scolding.... just sayin'...... :smileywink:

We've seen a few complaints about this one. Basically, the problem is this ... 1. You tried to upload an item to Marketplace, using your Merchant Outbox 2. The upload failed. 3. You cannot close your Merchant Outbox. 4. The items are still in the Merchant Outbox and you cannot remove them. 5. You cannot use the Merchant Outbox to upload anything else now either. Am I right? The issue has been reported in this JIRA >>> https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-4660 , but there's no permanent solution yet. 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.

This is a resident-to-resident forum for answering questions about how SL works (or why it doesn't). Lindens never come here, and we do not have any power or authority to investigate reported abuse. All we can do is remind you of the AR procedure, and Linden Lab's statement regarding followup: "If you need to add more information after submitting a report, please submit a new report. We try to resolve abuse issues as quickly as possible, but response times vary depending on the number of backlogged abuse reports. For privacy reasons, we are unable to share the details of an investigation into an abuse report. Once your report has been submitted, we'll take it from there." It's similar to what the police department would tell you in RL >>> "Thank you for your report. We will investigate. We do not comment on ongoing investigations."

You have to BUY first to establish credit. Then you can sell. Try buying L$100.

As I said in response to the OP in this thread, we can't even begin to guess what's wrong unless you tell us something useful about your system and something specific about the error messages you are getting. The problem is almost certainly in your own computer or Internet connection, but without knowing anything about it, I don't have a clue what it is.

This option disables the crash logger and lets the OS handle crashes. Create a shortcut to the SecondLife.exe executable. Edit the shortcut properties Add --disablecrashlogger in the first editable text field, at the end of the line, after the closing quotation mark, if any.

You can earn L$ if you are talented enough and can make items that other people want to buy, or if you have a special talent as a performer and can convince people to pay to watch (listen) to your work, or if you have a high tolerance for risk and deep pockets and want to speculate in real estate, or you can find games that pay you a meager sum to play them. The absolute best way to get L$, however, is to buy them. L$100 is about 40 cents US, so for the cost of a Big Mac, fries, and a drink, you can live like a king. You can earn enough in an afternoon in RL to set you up for a long time in SL, and it would take you WAY longer to earn the same amount of L$ in world. So..... get L$ by saving your lunch money and bringing it in world with you.

A gesture is not a LSL script, so the question is a bit out of place here. There really isn't a much better place, though. Gestures are extremely simple. There's only one way to pass anything from chat and that's to use it as a trigger, preceded by a slash, as in /hop . You can output text to chat by building it into the gesture's primitive script, but that's about it. Virtually everything you need to know about gestures --- or are likely to find in SL's documentation --- is in this very brief Knowledge Base article >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Using-gestures-and-animations/ta-p/700069

It's an unfortunate experience, but there's no TOS violation here. A landowner can ban or eject anybody without offering any reason at all, just the same way you can ban someone from your home in RL. Walk away and find someplace else to spend your time in SL.

I should also mention a separate issue, unrelated to SLPlugin.exe, that has also plagued some users. It affects primarily -- but not exclusively -- those users who are using NVidia cards. CPU usage shoots up to 100%, causing the viewer to freeze up temporarily and making it impossible to access some functions like Search. Except that it is also a CPU issue, I doubt that this is what you are facing, but you might take a look anyway >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_100_cpu

It's not usually worrisome to have more than one instance of SLPlugin.exe running at once, but it has been a more severe problem for some users. Take a look at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/EXP-700, for instance. You'll see a lot of back and forth commentary by Linden techs, anding with a note that the problem is unresolved but deserves continued study. You may want to consider opening a new JIRA with your own observations and referencing the previous one.
