  1. I was going to suggest using Google's free public DNS servers, but the addresses you changed to will probably work just as well. If you want to try Google's though, see http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html Sometimes the problem isn't really a DNS issue at all, but your system is perceiving it as one. Try just rebooting your router to see if that helps. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes, go make a sandwich, and then come back and plug it back in. That will clear the router's RAM and let it get a fresh grasp on an IP address.
  2. If you haven't had responses from the creator, your remaining option is to send the same information in a support ticket to Linden Lab. Navigate to https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ and select Marketplace from the dropdown menu. A couple of comments, in passing ......... 1. Many merchants/creators are not inworld every day, especially over a weekend, so it is not usually reasonable to expect an instant response to your note. 2. We each have an "in box" that holds any IMs, group notices, group invitations, notecards, and inventory items that arrive when we are not in world. That "in box" is capped when it receives 25 items. Any additional ones are lost forever. I mention this because a busy merchant can easily receive more than 25 notes between logins, so yours might be one of those that is never delivered. Sending "numerous messages" in a short period of time doesn't help. In fact, it can make matters worse for people who send notes after yours. 3. My comment about the "in box" is relevant to non-delivery in general. If you are not in world when you order things from Marketplace, and if delivery of those items will exceed your own cap of 25, the things you ordered will vanish. This is a common reason for delivery failures from Marketplace. It is therefore wise to either (a) do your shopping while you are logged in to SL or (b) order only a few things at a time and hope that you friends haven't already stuffed your "in box" with IMs and notecards.
  3. Irene has it right. To put it another way, the group does not have an account. Any money earned by the group is divided equally among the members whose role includes the ability to receive assets and pay liabilities. If you are the group's owner and you have not assigned that ability to other roles, then the L$ goes only to you.
  4. Hooray. Now, the one thing I didn't mention, because I didn't want to confuse the issue, is that you really should be using llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast, which doesn't have the 0.2 second delay that llSetLinkPrimitiveParams does. :smileywink:
  5. On your dashboard at secondlife.com. Go to Account >> Contact Information and enter your e-mail address. Then click "I would like to receive offline IMs by e-mail."
  6. No. You have mathematical two problems, rolled into one. First, angular measurements are all in radians, although you can convert degree to radians if that's a system you are more comfortable with. Second, rotations in SL and many other environments are handled as quaternions, in which the x,y, and z are angular measurements with an imaginary component. You can read more about rotations in general here >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Rotation and about quaternions in particular here >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Quaternion . Unless you are mathematically inclined, much of that will make your head hurt. It's easier to learn and use some simple rules instead. For example, if you want to rotate your object 30 degrees around the global Y axis, use llSetLinkPrimitiveParams( LINK_THIS,[ PRIM_ROTATION,llEuler2Rot(<0.0,30.0,0.0>*DEG_TO_RAD) ] ); in which the conversion from degrees to radians is taken care of by the constant DEG_TO_RAD and the conversion from an Euler rotation in X, Y, Z is converted to a quaternion by the llEuler2Rot function.
  7. Take a look at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_voice , especially the section on tips if you have never been able to get Voice to work. Those were written for Firestorm users but, as is often the case with advice from the Firestorm/Phoenix team, they apply to any of the viewers.
  8. llSetRegionPos was released across the grid with server upgrades in the week of 2012-1-30: "New LSL function integer llSetRegionPos(vector position)The object with the script will move the root prim position to the given location. The position is any position within the region. If the position is below ground, it will be set to the ground level at that X,Y spot. The function has no delay or throttle. Returns 1 if the object is successfully placed within 0.1 m of position. Returns 0 and does not move the object if position is more than 10m off region or above 4096m. Returns 0 and does not move the object if the object is dynamic (has physics enabled). Returns 0 and does not move the object if the object can not move to position due to object entry rules, prim limits, bans, etc " I have used it successfully in scripts that I have tested now on 6 main channel sims.
  9. What's being slow .... rezzing your av or rezzing some object? If you are getting a message on login that says your clothes are still loading, that's nothing unusual. It is generally a slow connection problem, but sometimes a sim lag issue too. You can try logging on at a nice quiet, low-lag sim like Pooley or Aqua to see if that helps.
  10. You can get a free ZHAO II animation override in many in-world shops, or you can buy custom AOs from most shops that specialize in animations. Those ones often come loaded with sets of coordinated animations, all ready loaded and ready to go. Check out shops on Marketplace too. Personally, though, I won't buy animations without trying them out first, and you can't do that on Marketplace. If you use the Firestorm or Phoenix viewer, you'll find that they have a built-in AO. I use mine in Firestorm all the time. It's VERY versatile, easy to load new anims into, and doesn't add an extra HUD onto my screen, adding to the script load I carry around.
  11. Thanks for the extra information, Shandleer. Your system looks good enough to handle SL. The video card is old, as Angel says, but that's a good card. I had one myself until last year, and it worked fine. You didn't say whether you are actually crashing or being logged out with an error message. If you are crashing, though, take time now to open the case of your computer and blow any dust out of it with a can of air. Also, check to be sure that all of your fans are spinning freely. One thing to worry about if you are crashing consistently within a few minutes of logging on is heat. SL puts a high demand on your graphics card, so it draws a lot of power and generates a lot of heat. That can destroy a card (and other things) if you aren't careful. That's why a computer will crash in self-defense sometimes. A good monthly cleaning and an investment in ventilation is smart insurance.
  12. Si usted desea conseguir un trabajo de modelaje en SL, usted debe tratar de colocar un mensaje en el foro para Inworld Employment.
  13. It's very hard to answer about why you crash often. First, it's important to distinguish between "crashing" -- just being dumped out unceremoniously -- and being "logged out". If you are being logged out, you will receive some kind of diagnostic message that explains why. (It may not make any sense, but it's a clue about what to do next.) It would help if we knew what kind of computer you have (especially its graphics card), what SL viewer you are using, what kind of Internet connection you're using, and anything else that might be helpful, like those error messages. Add information to your question by clicking the Options link and selecting EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.
  14. As written, your rezzed object will have the same global rotation as the rezzer (llGetRot()) . If you want it to face a particular spot when rezzed, you need to calculate the angle of rotation first. float Angle = llAngleBetween( <1.0,0.0,0.0>, llVecNorm( new_pos - llGetPos()) ); Then you need to apply that angle to a rotation around your object's Z axis rotation New_Rot = llAxisAngle2Rot(<0.0,0.0,1.0>, Angle); That's the global rotation that your rezzed object should have when it is rezzed. Of course, you might want to solve a much simpler problem. Since you already know where your target av is and which way he's facing, you can set the new object's rotation relative to that. For example, if you just set its rotation to llDetectedRot(0), then its X-axis will be facing the same way that the av's is. If you want it to face the av instead, then its rotation should be //Euler2Rot(,0.0,0.0,PI> * llDetectedRot(0) /me can't get in world to verify, so has her fingers crossed. ETA: As Ela points out, your method won't work beyond 10m from the rezzer, so take her suggestion and just rez it next to the rezzer and then relocate it with llSetRot and llSetRegionPos . Thanks, Ela.
  15. Take a look at http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/scripting/32062-script-read-song-information-stream.html for a long discussion about how to do what you want. I am not sure about adapting it to Icecast, however. Darkie may have a suggestion once he wanders in on this thread.
  16. If you have set your Preferences to forward all IMs to e-mail, then you will receive them when you are off world. You can also send yourself an e-mail directly by just putting you own e-mail address into the llEmail function call . E-mail in SL occasionally has problems (although I have rarely had trouble myself), but forwarding IMs always works. You won't be able to grab information from the statistics bar, however. There are no LSL functions to allow you to do that. The best you can do is llGetRegionFPS and llGetRegionTimeDilation. ETA: If you haven't changed the default setting in Preferences, your IMs should be stored in the roaming directory on your own hard drive.
  17. You can't load a calculated value into a global variable unless it's in an event or a user-defined function. You are trying to do it in th global declararion area. For your purposes, you don't even need to create global variables. Just use reset(){ integer chosen = (integer)llFrand((lista !=[])); // Same as llGetListLength (lista) vector target = llGetPos() + ( llList2Vector(lista,chosen) - llGetPos() )* llGetRot(); llSitTarget(target, ZERO_ROTATION); llSetSitText("Teleport"); llSetText(fltText, <1.0,1.0,1.0>, 1.0);} In order for your script to work properly, you will also need to repair your changed event, which will now respond to changes of any kind. What you really want is changed (integer change){ if (change & CHANGED_LINK) { if ( llAvatarOnSitTarget() ) { llSleep(0.15); llUnSit(llAvatarOnSitTarget()); reset(); } }}
  18. There are no Lindens here. This is a Resident-to-Resident answer site. However, I have not seen any other reports from people having trouble with that site. I have just tried it myself, and it works fine. A 404 error may occur because the site is temporary unavailable, but it is also commonly returned when the user has mistyped the site's address or when the browser has transmitted it incorrectly. Check the spelling and punctuation for the URL you are using and, if it is correct but you still can't get in, try using another browser.
  19. VirWox is a legitimate Third-Party Currency Exchange, and they do exchange L$ for Euros. Linden Lab does not endorse or guarantee the quality of service from other exchanges, however, and as a SL resident that's about all I can tell you. You will need to go to their web site ( https://www.virwox.com/ ) for information about rates and terms.
  20. Your partner is the one to pay Linden Lab for his membership fee, so the easiest method is to give him the money and let him do it. You can either: 1. Send your partner a check (or use PayPal) for the amount or 2. Pay your partner in world.
  21. Your "character" is your avatar. You have 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.
  22. 1. The chart below shows the monthly cost of owning additional amounts of land beyond the initial 512 square meters covered by your premium account. It also shows how many objects you can build on that amount of land.You can own as much land as you choose; change the amount of land you own and your monthly fee will be adjusted accordingly. Your bill at the end of the month is based on the peak amount of land you owned during the previous 30 days. For example, if you pay a total of US$14.95 ($9.95 for premium and $5 for extra land), then you can own a total of 1024 square meters with a land capacity of 234. Monthly Land Fee(1) Additional Land (over 512m2) Parcel Size (m2) Land Capacity(2) US$5 1/128 region 512 117 US$8 1/64 region 1,024 234 US$15 1/32 region 2,048 468 US$25 1/16 region 4,096 937 US$40 1/8 region 8,192 1,875 US$75 1/4 region 16,384 3,750 US$125 1/2 region 32,768 7,500 US$195 Full region 65,536 15,000 (1) Each month, you land will bill at the lowest tier that is equal to or greater than the maximum amount of land you held in the month prior.(2) These land capacities are based on the maximum amount of land you may own in this tier. If you own less, the values will be different. Your land capacity is always (total m2 owned in this region) * 15,000 / 65,536, rounded down. 2. What you get for "free" is the right to occupy a 512 sq m. plot of mainlaind without paying a monthly land fee. If you have a Linden Home, you are occupying that piece of land. If you abandon the Linden Home, you may apply your free tier to any other piece of mainland that you own. 3. Eveything you need to know is in the Knowledge Base >>>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Beginning-landowner-FAQ/ta-p/700035 . Study all of the related links. There are MANY.
  23. Start reading >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Beginning-landowner-FAQ/ta-p/700035 The short answer: The Mainland is "Linden Land".
  24. 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.
