Sorry, we can't do a thing unless you can tell us more than it's "still not loading up right." This is a little like asking "Why can't make my car go?" When you have a technical problem, begin by telling us what kind of computer you are using, what operating system, what kind of Internet connection, what viewer you are trying to load, what error messages you are getting, and then what you mean by "it's not loading up right." Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to add useful information. Please do NOT start a new thread.

Most of the time when this happens, the culprit is your Internet connection. When you move from one sim to another, all of the information about your avatar and the stuff you are carrying (attachments, scripts, animations....) have to be transferred from one set of servers to another, and they all have to work with your computer. If you lose much bandwidth or have significant packet loss during that time, the servers lose track of you and you crash. You can reduce some of the stress by simply carrying less stuff. Then, if you're using wireless, don't. SL residents commonly have trouble with interference and bandwidth loss when they use wireless. If it has been a while since you rebooted your router, do it now. Just unplug it from the power for a few minutes. For other suggestions about how to improve your Internet connection for SL, see http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/

You don't "make" a sim. You buy one or rent one and then you reshape it to fit your own needs. When you acquire a sim, you are buying space and time on a server farm, along wih the right to modify the landscape and add your own objects to it. This is a very big topic, so here are a couple of Knowledge Base articles to get you started ..... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Buying-land/ta-p/700043 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Buying-Private-Regions/ta-p/700045 Onc you get past those, you'll want to learn about managing access to your land... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Managing-land/ta-p/700113 And terraforming the land ... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Editing-terrain/ta-p/700061 And then building .... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Build-Tools/ta-p/700039 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Building-tips/ta-p/700041 If you are as new to this whole business as I suspect you are, it's probably best to go at it slowly. Take some classes at a place like Builder's Brewery or Caledon University, make friends with other landowners and builder, and get some practice by working alongside someone else with more experience. All of this can be great fun, but it can be daunting and even frustrating (and expensive) at first.

Did you bake the texture onto the model before you uploaded it, or at least draw the texture in the context of your modeling program? If not, then your only hope of getting it to fit right is to adjust the scale and offset numbers in the Textures tab of your Build/Edit tool. That is not likely to work very well unless you have a very simple model and an equally simple texture. --||-

It sounds like you or your partner dropped the animating script into some object on her land, so it's still there, ready to animate you whenever you arrive. It may take some detective work, but you'll need to open objects until you find it. You can make life a little easier by opening your Beacons window (with World >> Show >> Beacons) and clicking the box to select "Scripted Objects". That will highlight all objects that have scripts in them, making it a little easier to find the specific one that's bothering you.

You're OK, Peggy...

No, that's a specific error that crops up when you have a borked gesture. The <10.0,10.0,10.0> is the giveaway here. It's well documented. And thank goodness, NOT the BSOD. ;-)

Some issues you might encounter are due to “bad” gestures (for lack of a better term). In brief, one or more gestures may fail to load properly and cause the viewer to time out. Symptoms which may be the result of problem gestures include: You are unable to log in properly without having to clear cache fully before doing so. It should never be necessary to clear cache before logging in, so if you have to do this, something is wrong. Some find that if they don't clear cache each time, they get logged out within seconds of logging in, or perhaps they are ruthed or a cloud every time, or even that they crash shortly after log in.You are able to log in but find yourself under water (all you can see is a blue screen) at coordinates 10, 10, 10. If you log in to an all blue screen, check your location, see if you are near the SIM corner, at 10, 10, 10. If so, you almost certainly have a problem gesture.For more information, see http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/gesture_issues

If you have a specific complaint, I suggest that you file an Abuse Report and include as much factual information as you have. This is a resident to resident forum and Lindens never come here at all, so it doesn't do a thing to share your rant with us. We can't do anything with it.

Thank you for adding that information. As I suspected, you are going to have a hard time in SL with that notebook. It was not designed with this sort of graphics-intensive environment in mind. My guess is that is doesn't actually have a graphics card at all, but an integrated graphics chip. It's probably freezing simply because it can't handle the information load. If Peggy wanders by, she may have more specific comments because she is more familiar with hardware than I am.

You could certainly remove the restriction in the touch_start event that looks to see if the person who touched it is the person standing on it.

If your friend has never ordered anything by Direct Delivery from Marketplace, then the Marketplace servers may have a hard time identifying her. Recommend to your friend that she buy a freebie item like https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Direct-Delivery-Linden-Bear/3290638 or https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/MAGIC-WAND-Stops-Animations/3475671

This is usually due to using outdated ATI video drivers or Catalyst 12.3. Refer to this SL JIRA. Disabling Aero *may* also help solve this. Information on how to do that is given here.

It can sometimes take anywhere from a few minutes to a day or more for your items to be delivered, so don't panic yet. Not that it helps now, but to remember for the future: (1) Don't overuse the shopping cart. It is easily confused if you put more than a couple of things in it. This part has nothing to do with Magic Boxes, so it will continue to be a problem even with the new system. (2) Don't buy things from Marketplace (especially LOTS of things) unless you are in world to receive them at the time. We each have an "in box" that holds IMs, notecards, group notices, group invitations, and anything that is delivered to us if we aren't in world at the time. That "in box" can only hold 25 things, total. If anything else comes in, it isn't saved. It is gone ... poof .... forever. If you have a mess of things delivered from Marketplace and half your friends send you notecards, that in box will be capped and you will never know what happened. So, what do you do now? ....... To get a record of the individual items in your order, open Marketplace and click the My Marketplace menu at the top of the page. Select My Account >> Order History from the pulldown menu. If you do not receive items within about 24 hours, you should cut and paste the information about a missing item from that Order History and send it in a IM or notecard to the merchant, along with a polite message requesting redelivery. Most merchants are very kind and willing to redeliver. This happens all the time and they are aware of it. Do be patient, though. Not everyone logs in to SL every day or checks their e-mail. If you still haven't heard in another day or two, follow it up with a second polite note and finally, if you STILL haven't heard, file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ , selecting Marketplace from the pulldown menu.

It's sort of like buying real estate in RL. You can't expect to buy houses the way you buy a rutabega in the market. People are selling their Linden Homes all the time to trade up to something bigger on a more expensive piece of land. As one of their homes comes on the market while you are looking to buy, you win. Otherwise, you wait, especially when Linden Lab isn't building additional homes very fast at the moment. Meanwhile, as Lindal says, you enjoy the other benefits of Premium membership and start exploring SL. Unlike SL, you won't be sleeping under a bridge if you don't have a home today.

There have been many reported cases of phishing recently, so it's quite possible that you logged in to a site that you thought was Linden Lab's site, but was in fact a bogus one, designed to grab your account information. See the information at http://www.phoenixviewer.com/index.php . If that's the case, Linden Lab can't do a thing about it, and they are not at fault any more than you are.

To leave a group: Go to Communicate > Groups or right-click on your avatar and choose My Groups. Right-click on the group's name and select Leave. You will be prompted to confirm the action. Click OK to confirm that you want to leave the group. Leaving a group: Removes any land contribution you have given a group (to pay for group-owned land). Removes your ability to edit, change, or sell land held by the group. Makes you ineligible for any pending group dividends. After you've left a group, no trace remains on the group's membership list. Group notices and voting proposals that mention your name are not edited automatically, and continue to exist for the usual timespan. Note: If you're the last owner of a group, you are not allowed to leave it without appointing another person to the role of group owner first.

Matu wrote: As darkie said, there are several ways to do this, even if you arent in the same simulator. However, to make an object explode, you must grant permissions to the object to link/unlink wich cant be done automatically, you have to confirm when a popup appears. Unless you are talking about making a particle explosion, of course. In that case, you don't need to unlink anything. Just use llParticleSystem.

Wow! Really? V3 doesn't let you move things from one inventory window to another? That's truly dumb. One more good reason to stay with Firestorm. Keep up the good work, Ansariel.

You do have to be patient sometimes. Especially on a busy sim, the servers sometimes delay or even stall when you are trying to transfer things from inventory. It helps to click and hold for a second or two before you try to drag items. It may also help to move to a different sim. Smith, Aqua, and Pooley are very quiet ( = dull and boring, underwater) sims that are great for doing anything with inventory.

Yup. You do exactly as Peter says. That laptop is probably too old and weak to run SL, but we won't be able to say for sure until you tell us more about it, your Internet connection, your viewer, and any error messages you might be getting. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to add information. Please do NOT start a new thread.

Who knows? Nobody here can begin to guess, because you didn't tell us anything about your computer, your connection, your viewer, or any error messages you might be getting. Not only that, but you put your question at the end of someone else's rather old thread, where almost nobody will see it. To try to get some answers, make your own new thread and include as much information as you can.

Mikki Miles wrote: great, that is exactly what I need at this very moment :-) May I add (for amateurs like me), that using touch instead of touch_end makes the script go on right after the set time,without waiting for the release of the mouse button. That's an interesting wrinkle. The touch event is not triggered by either the start or the end of a mouse action, but by the fact that the mouse button is still down. So, if you start the clock with llResetTime in a touch_start event and measure it in a touch event, which keeps firing over and over and over again, it won't be long before llGetTime() > 0.8, whether you let go of the mouse button or not. You just have to be careful not to put anything else in the touch event unless you want it to keep repeating too, so don't write something like touch (integer num){ if (llGetTime() > 0.8) { llSay(0,"It's time to move!"); llSetPos( llGetPos() + <5.0,0.0,0.0>*llGetRot() ); }} :smileylol:

You need to look for the link number in the touch_start event. If you look for it in state_entry, you get a single, unchanging value. Try llOwnerSay("The link number is " + (string)(llDetectedLinkNumber( 0 ) ) );

What kind of pink do you want? <1.00000, 0.68627, 1.00000> is sort of baby girl pink, and <1.00000, 0.00000, 1.00000> is streetwalker pink. Pick something in between maybe? Edit: Oh, right. You have pink aready. :smileyembarrassed: So go with <0.0,1.0,0.0>, as Qwalyphi suggested. /me goes back to counting clouds.
