You download and use the Firestorm viewer, which has a Z correction. If you already have Firestorm, click the Quick Preference button on the lower task bar and fiddle with the Z Offset slider to get your feet on the ground. It's very handy.

Yeah, it's a very keen function. That example I pointed to in my earlier reply is a good illustration of how to use KFM to turn a corner smoothly. The effect is sort of like what you used to have to do (with much more code) in something like the Smooth Rotating Door Script that Toy Wylie put in the LSL Script Library a couple of years ago. Essentially, it lets you dissect your rotation into a series of smaller steps that are then pieced together to make a command list for llSetKeyframedMotion . The advantage of doing that is that your rotating object is always heading toward intermediate points along the curve instead of aiming for the end point all the way. It makes for a much more realistic-looking motion. The example is written for rotating a box lid around its Y-axis, but with just a little creative finagling you can get it to rotate around Z and include an offset at each step, as you would if you were keeping a train on its tracks.

Knowl's probably got the right answer. The routine that is most likely giving you trouble is slplugin.exe, which is necessary for handling data going to streaming media and media on a prim. Check your firewall to be sure that you have an exception for it as well as for your viewer (secondlife.exe or whatever viewer you are using). See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Using-Second-Life-with-a-firewall/ta-p/1304539 Just in case .... It's also possible that you are either missing the slplugin.exe routine or do not have the Adobe Flash webkit installed on your computer. See >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_media for more about that possibility.

You should probably also take a look at the example lebeled Universal Hinged Motion in 8 Key Frames that is in the LSL wiki at https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetKeyframedMotion . It's a very nice short example of how to handle a smooth rotation along a path. I modified it the other day to use in a vehicle that needs to follow a curving path and keep its nose pointed along the path the whole way.

You joined a group with a group fee of L$10,000 and you didn't notice that before you agreed to join? That is very sad, but I can understand how that could happen. It is impossible for someone to steal your money in SL, but it is very easy for someone to trick you into GIVING them money.

I have no idea what a Rift Dragon is, but if you do the same Google search I did, you'll find http://www.dragons.sl/docs/Rift . This is not something done by Linden Lab, so not officially sanctioned as far I as can tell.

If you declined it, the gift is gone. If the item was no-copy, it has been returned to your friend's Lost & Found folder. If it was a copiable item, she still has a copy elsewhere in her inventory. Just own up to what you did and ask her to send you a new copy. We all make silly mistakes, so it will give you both something to laugh about. BTW, if she had the item sent to you as a gift directly from Marketplace, you'll still havce to contact her. She needs to send a note to the merchant, along with all of the purchase details and an explanation of what happened, and get them to send you a replacement.

That name does not appear in search, so the account holder was probably banned by LL. You can file a support ticket to explain the situation, but it's fairly likely that your money is gone. You may have fallen for one of the common scams in SL. You click on some innocent-looking object -- perhaps to get information or even to just sit down -- and the object displays a little window in your viewer that asks permission to debit your account. You weren't expecting that message, don't know what it means, and get confused in a weak moment of indecision. You click it, and the object's owner has instant permission to remove all money from your account. The sad lesson is that you should NEVER give anyone permission to do anything unless you understand why and you have good reason to trust the person.

1. You ought to provide more information about your computer. Without that, there's no way we can guess why you can't make Firestorm work for you. You didn;t even mention any error messages. 2. As a Premium member, you will receive a L$1000 bonus after you have been enrolled for 45 continuous days. 3. If you are trying to use RLV as a Firestorm feature, it's probably not working because Firestorm itself isn't working for you. Solve issue #1 first. 4. Firestorm customer support is at support@phoenixviewer.com but don't forget to give a summary in the subject header! If you can get in world on a different viewer, you can also ask questions in the Firestorm/Phoenix support group, which is VERY helpful >>> English - Official Support for the Phoenix Viewer If you are talking about support from Linden Lab, though, you have access to Live Chat as a Premium member.

It's a bit hard to understand what you are talking about, but it sounds like a Marketplace delivery issue maybe. If you do not receive items within about 24 hours, you should cut and paste the information about a missing item from your Marketplace 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. Also, people go on vacation, have family emergencies, and have computer failures and many other disasters that make it difficult to respond as quickly as you might like. Also, a merchant's "in box" can easily be clogged if he has been sent more than 25 items (or IMs or notecards) since his last login. 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. If even that doesn't work in the end, take a deep breath (and maybe a Valium) and put it behind you. This is not a world-shaking disaster. It's a pair of shoes.

It can sometimes take anywhere from a few minutes to a day or more for your items to be delivered, especially if the merchant's Magic Box is temporarily out of service or the sim it's on is offline. 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. (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.

Do you mean, maybe, PINK? If so, look here >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/why-is-everything-pink-when-i-log-in-the-buildings-the-furniture/qaq-p/1409453

It's quite possible that your friend thought he gave you L$200, but actually gave it to someone else by mistake. There are many ways to do that: 1. Click on the wrong person in a crowd 2. Click on a transparent object between yourself and the intended recipient, or on something over his shoulder. 3. Look up the wrong recipient's name in the People chooser (Many names look alike, after all.) 4. Mistake someone's user name for the intended recipient's Display Name Your friend can find out exactly who he did pay the L$200 to by looking in the Transaction History on his dashboard at secondlife.com. Unless the person he gave it to is very understanding and willing to return it, the L$ is probably gone. Just be glad that it was only L$200 ( about 80 cents) and not L$20,000.

It's extremely easy. All they have to do is get a single full perm object that you have made. Unlink the object, and take any prim, remove its texture and reshape it as whatever shape they like, and use it as the root prim of a new object that they create. The new object takes whatever name they choose, but shows you as the creator and previous owner. After all, you did make the root prim. That's why you see so many large structures in SL that were apparently made by Gene Replacement, for example. He made some of the early megaprims, and other builders used them as the root prims of thousands of buildings across SL. LL generally ignores the creator's name if they find questionable objects because it is so easy to make bogus creations this way.

Take a look at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/seeing_worn_mesh for sugfgested workarounds to Alpha-textured prims/meshes disappear when Lighting & Shadows is enabled

I'm not a V3 user, so all I can do is tell you what works in Firestorm and assume that it works the same way in V3. Open your Search window and look for the person's in-world profile (not the web profile). When you find it, open it and click the Block button in the lower right corner. Bingo, he's blocked. I rarely block anyone, so I had a try to see if it works. You're blocked. (or you were for a few minutes anyway --- I had to try it.) :smileytongue: If V3 doesn't let you do that, you could always just ignore him. Then someday when you discover that he is nearby, block him.

That particular error usually appears when the scripter has tried to start an animation without getting your permission to do it. Actually, it's even more common for a scripter to write a script that asks to stop an animation -- after you have stood up and have retracted the automatic permission that started it. In any case, it's a common newbie scripter error, and sometimes one that even experienced scripters make. If you find the object -- easy enough to do since you know its name -- then delete or disable it.

If you really did murte yourself, your own name will show up in your list of muted/blocked avatars and objects. So select your name and UNmute. You actually ought to be able to just right click on yourself and find the UNblock option.

You seem to have a bit of floating text in a device that we call a "titler." Open your Inventory and click on its "WORN" tab to see all of the things you are wearing at the moment. One of them is that titler, and it's probably attached to some point on your head (maybe your nose or chin). So, right click on it in inventory and select "Detach" or whatever your viewer gives you as an obvious option to UNwear it. It you want to keep it, it will stay in your inventory for later use. If not, you can safely delete it any time you wish. Welcome to SL and congratulations on winning L$1 on your first day. ETA: It's also possible that you simply joined a group, and that's your group tag. If that's the case. right click on yourself and select the option to Show Groups. You'll see the name of your active group -- that is, the one that you currently have activated and are displaying in your overhead tag. If you want to change groups or even select "None", just do it while that list is open. See more about groups here >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Creating-managing-moderating-and-disbanding-groups/ta-p/700111

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 file. 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 possibilitites 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. You may find that the bake fail problem comes back repeatedly, even after you fix it with one of the suggestions on that wiki page. If so, you have a chronically weak Internet connection. There are many steps to take for repairing it. Perhaps the simplest ones -- ones that work best for most people -- are: (1) Don't Use WIRELESS. Wireless connections are inherently less stable than direct cable connections and are more vulnerable to interference. Then, (2) Reboot your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes to let it clear its RAM. The plug it back in and let it get a fresh hold on an IP address.

Take a look at this thread >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Inventory/I-rezzed-an-object-when-I-clicked-take-it-went-outside-of-my/qaq-p/1418399 Is THAT what you're talking about?

Linden Lab will not accept most prepaid credit cards. You may use the following payment methods with Second Life: Visa American Express MasterCard Delta Online JCB Discover (U.S. Residents only) Visa Electron (non-U.S. Residents only) PayPal Here are some common reasons for credit card failure: You entered the credit card number incorrectly. You did not enter the billing address or entered it incorrectly. It should be the same address that appears on your bill. You did not enter the name on the card or entered differently from how it appears on the card. Be sure you updated your card's expiration date in the Second Life Billing Information page. The credit card is not in the list of accepted payment methods (see above) You did not enter the CVV (3 digits on the back, or 4 digits on the front for AmEx) or entered it incorrectly. The card is expired, or the expiration date was entered incorrectly. There are no funds available on the credit card to validate it. We send a US$1.00 authorization to ensure that a credit card is valid. This is not a billing, but the card must have at least US$1.00 available on it to pass validation. Your monthly payment limit is reached, and/or your bank is not authorizing any more transactions. The issuing bank has not pre-approved transactions with Linden Research, Inc. Contact the issuing bank to resolve the problem. If you are outside the US, your card may not be set up for international/overseas transactions (this is very common with Visa Electron). If none of the above applies, contact your credit card provider to determine the cause. You may also contact Linden Lab Billing Support.

The code looks exactly like it is now. No change whatsoever. Path cut values are used for shaping your door, using your Build/Edit tool in world. The whole idea of this door script and others built on this theme is that you create a door by cutting a rectangular prim in half, so that its hinge is along the cut edge. Otherwise, since a prim always rotates around its central axis (in this case, its Z-axis), you'd have a door that looks like a butterfly valve instead of a normal door.

I assume that you got my private message. If not, try doing your cut & paste from here with a simple program like Notepad. If you use a word processor like MS Word, it will introduce hidden formatting commands into the script, thinking that you are handling a document that will need to be printed. Those formatting commands will mess up in the LSO or Mono compiler and generate errors.

The first thing to do is check your router. It may simply need to be rebooted. Over time, its RAM does gradually get clogged, so unplugging it for a few minutes to clear the cobwebs once a month or so isn't ever a bad idea. One easy way to finbd out whether your router is a culprit, of course, is to take it temporarily out oif the loop completely. Plug your computer's data cable directly into your modem, bypassing the router, and see if things improve. If so, and if rebooting the router had little effect, it may be time to look for a new router. You didn't say what your packet loss was, but that could be part of the problem as well. Take a look at Nalates's blog to see some good suggestions about what to do with that information >>> http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/
