There's not much that anyone can do about things that are on public sites on the Internet, but I would strongly advise you to be careful about using a viewer that hasn't voluntarily complied with LL's Policy on Third Party Viewers . There are some very good ones, but there are others that employ hacks that may be harmful to your viewer or permit you to do things that violate the TOS and get you banned. There may also be ones that could compromise your computer's security. Here is a list oif the TPVs that are currently in voluntary compliance with policy >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory

Check for typos. They're insidious. :=p Here's a version of what could be done ..... list list_one = ["Tuggies","Nibble","Play","Stroke","Tease","Love"];list list_two = [" gently tugs ","'s tail, wanting their attention."]+[ " softly nibbles on ","'s tail. Listen to their toes crack!"]+[" plays with ","'s tail, gently massaging it."]+[" strokes ","'s tail, making them murr."]+[" teases ","'s tail, just barely rubbing the very edge to make them squeal!"]+[" loves ","'s tail, softly suckling on it!"];string owner;integer lock = FALSE;integer chan;integer Lisn;default{ attach(key n) { llResetScript(); } on_rez(integer n) { llResetScript(); } state_entry() { chan = 100 + (integer)llFrand(20000); owner = llKey2Name(llGetOwner()); } touch_start(integer total_number) { llSetTimerEvent(15.0); Lisn = llListen(chan,"","",""); key dk = llDetectedKey(0); if(dk == llGetOwner()) { llDialog(dk,"Change tail option,",["lock","unlock","Edit",],chan); } else if(lock == FALSE){ llDialog(dk,"What u want to do with "+owner+"'s tail",list_one,chan); } else { llInstantMessage(dk,"This tail is locked >.>"); } } listen(integer c, string n, key i, string m) { //Owner Tail Commands if(m == "lock") { lock = TRUE; llOwnerSay("Locked"); } else if(m == "unlock") { lock = FALSE; llOwnerSay("Unlocked"); } //Owner Events else if(m == "Edit")//<-----Edit------ { llSay(0, "This option is not being used for anything, but you could put something here"); } // Non-Owner Events else if (~(c = llListFindList( list_one,[m]))) { llSay(0, n + llList2String(list_two,2*c) + owner + llList2String(list_two,(2*c)+1) ); } } timer() { llSetTimerEvent(0.0); llListenRemove(Lisn); }} Edit: Just noticed that the responses in list_two were in a different order than the button labels in list_one. Fixed.

This may be the answer to your problem (or not) >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=100_cpu It's worth a shot, anyway. :smileywink:

You need to have a copy of the media plugin running in order to have media work properly in SL, but the plugin can get corrupted. It's part of the installation package, so if you uninstall your viewer comletely and reload a new copy, you'll automatically get a fresh copy of the plugin too. Alternatively, you can just download a copy of the plugin itself and replace the one you have. NOTE: In order to play Flash format videos (eg YouTube videos), you must have the generic Adobe Flash plugin installed. If you use IE as your web browser and already have Flash, you will need to get the generic Flash plugin; see here. linux users need to have gstreamer installed, with the “bad” plugin set. Here's other information that may be useful if you are still having trouble: Relog and open Search Go to your computer processes and look for “slplugin.exe” For Windows users, go to Task Manager → Processes Tab For Mac users, go to Activity Monitor → My Processes (usually by default, but you can check top right drop down) For Linux users, go to Command Terminal, and type “ps aux” You may see four instances of the slplugin running (that is normal behavior) If you do not see any instances of slplugin running, that is the cause of media failing If slplugin is not running, disable all firewall and virus protection (including anti-virus software and windows or other operating system firewalls) Relog and attempt video playback again If it works, you will need to stop your firewall/virus protection from blocking the slplugin file by granting it appropriate permissions in your firewall/virus protection software

I don't understand. What are you using a megaprim for? Particles are always generated from the center of whatever prim the script is in. The size of the prim shouldn't make any difference at all to the particles, but it may interfere with other things like people's camera movement. Just put your script in a 0.5m diameter sphere, give it a full transparent texture, and you're done.

All you have to do is click the tiny icon above your EDIT window that has a "C" in it. That opens the Code Edit window, where you can either write or paste the code you want to display, so it comes out like this ....... default{ state_entry() { llSay(0,"Hello,Avatar!"); } touch_start (integer number_detected) { llSay(0,"Hello,Avatar!"); }} Now, for your mega snowfall..... You control the rate of movement of individual particles with PSYS_SRC_ACCEL . You have it set for a Z acceleration of -0.2 . Try a larger negative number. If you want MORE snowflakes, you'll need to increase PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT or decrease PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE. Of course, you can also make really BIG snowflakes by adjusting PSYS_PART_START_SCALE and PSYS_PART_END_SCALE. ETA: BTW, I should have mentioned that most people have Preferences >> Graphics >> Max Particle Count set to its default of 4096, which places an upper limit on the number of snowflakes that they can see at once. Also, particles operate the same way that other objects do in SL: the smaller they are, the closer you have to be before you can see them. That, also, places a practical limit on how dense your mega-snowstorm can appear, because it won't have any visual depth to it. Youre best bet may be to make a snowflake texture that fades to alpha = 0.0 at the edges, and then generate larger than normal snowflakes with it.

You can't dig under the land surface, and avatars can't go under the land surface. If you want to dig a tunnel, you have to create a trench and cover it over with prims that are textured to look like the land. If you have bought some kind of kit, that's almost certainly what it is doing too. Read the instructions that came with it, or contact the creator/vendor if you still have questions.

I'm not sure who's telling you that it costs $400 US a week. Here are the monthly land use fees that you pay to Linden Lab: Cost Sq. Meters Amount of Land USD 195.00/ month 65,536 Entire Region USD 125.00/ month 32,768 1/2 Region USD 75.00/ month 16,384 1/4 Region USD 40.00/ month 8,192 1/8 Region USD 25.00/ month 4,096 1/16 Region USD 15.00/ month 2,048 1/32 Region USD 8.00/ month 1,024 1/64 Region USD 5.00/ month 512 1/128 Region USD 0.00/ month 0 0/128 Region There is the one-time cost of the sim itself, and there are one-time fees for things like changing the name of an existing sim or moving it. Even adding all those things together, doesn't come to $400 a week. That would be $20,800 for the year!

That can either mean that LL's servers are very busy or that your modem lost its connection to their system. You can try rebooting your modem and router to see if that helps, or you can wait for a less busy time. Or you can try downloading a completely different viewer >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory

Sell one? Rent it out, maybe? Unfortunately, when your next bill for tier comes due, you will be charged for the highest amount of land that you owned at any time during the previous billing period, even if you only owned it for a day or less.

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.

Patience helps. So do deep pockets. Even with placement in Search, participation in hunts and neighborhood events, and all the gimicks you can think of, the best way to build new business in SL (and RL) is by word of mouth. That's slow. It takes a while for enough people to see how good your stuff is and tell their friends, and for you to learn what sells and what needs to be tossed, improved, or repriced. I've seen too many stores in SL fail because they relied too heavily on traffic gimmicks instead of patiently focusing on quality. The first year I had a shop, my sales were dismal. I didn't have enough L$ to sink into a large, splashy storefront either, so I had a succession of shops in places where I could afford the rent. Somewhere in Year Two, things started picking up. My own work got better, a few specific items caught people's attention, and I took a deep breath and paid a higher rent on a better sim. XStreetSL (now Marketplace) helped visibility and sales too. I'll never be a mega-tycoon, but I don't worry about paying the rent any more either.

Sorry ..... I'll give you the standard response because (1) I don't know what you have already tried and (2) these methods work in most situations. The basic problem is that your viewer and SL's servers have temporarily lost the ability to talk to each other. Unless there's a problem with the servers (Always check http://status.secondlifegrid.net/ first), it's probably something on your end. So.... (1) Try shutting off your computer, unplugging the router and modem for a couple of minutes, and then plugging them back in and restarting. That simple step may clear up everything (2) Change your DNS settings from whatever your ISP assigns you as a default. Use Google's free public DNS servers instead. Here's how >>> http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ (3) If things are STILL messed up, contact your ISP. Maybe they are working on their Internet connections. Mine go down for about 20 minutes once a month or so while they are vacuuming dust out of their servers, or whatever they do. You can try other suggestions as well, for example Nalates's blog >>> http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/

Yeah, everyone has a preferred shopping style. Personally, I hate shopping "for" something. If I go out looking for a specific item -- a denim skirt, a pair of yellow slingback heels, a rhumba dance anim, whatever -- I almost never find exactly what I want, and I get frustrated. My style is to keep a mental list of things that I would like to find "some day" and then keep my eyes open as I wander in SL(or RL). If I find something on my list, great. If I find something entirely different, that's cool too. If I never find something on my list, well..... I didn't waste a lot of time trying to find it.

You probably ought to remember two things: (1) When you install a new viewer, you have to set all of your Preferences again. No two viewers behave the same way, so settings that were great on a previous version of your viewer may be rotten for this one, or on a different machine with a different Internet connection. (2) They call it "Beta" for a reason. It's not ready for prime time yet. It's in pre-release test mode. LL does it this way because it's easier to find out what still needs to be tweaked if you let a few thousand users try to break it. If you find something that needs improving, post a comment in the Second Life Viewer forum or, better yet, file a JIRA report. I'm surprised that you can't switch viewers, though. So long as you were careful to be sure that the two viewers do not share the same cache location on your hard drive, you ought to be able to log out of one and log in with the other one with no problem. So, what happens when you do that? What happens when you "can't switch to V2"? You can add important information to your question by clicking on the Options link in its upper right corner and selecting EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.

Yup, it's pretty much like RL. If you enjoy shopping and treat it like a hunt, you'll find hundreds of places to buy denim skirts, especially if you aren't desperate to find the right one right now. I do the same thing you do .... If I can't make an item myself, I poke around in Markeplace to see what's generally available and what price merchants are asking. Then I TP around SL until I find what I want. A lot of the time I find it in someplace that I never saw in Marketplace, and I collect a bunch of LMs that I can use the next time I'm shopping.

Ooo! Shiny things. @Darren -- It's not as simple as changing the word "Permalnk" (a totally arcane word) to "Comments" (a more understandable one). If you have no idea that a comment might be buried here, you won't even think to click on the word. I'm certainly not going to waste MY time licking on every Permalink or Comment to see what's underneath. We ask OPs to add information by clicking on the Options >> EDIT link instead, but then this stupid software doesn't notify us when they do, so an OP's updated question often gets ignored. <grumble>

They probably can't. It's a pretty dumb software package for this use, although an improvement over the previous couple.

Yes. That's pretty normal. So, set your Maximum Bandwidth to about 1120 kbps

Check to see if you have any items showing in your Unassociated Inventory list, at the very beginning of your Inventory pages. If it's not there, give it a little time. The Magic Box system can be squirrely. Your sim may be laggy, or the Marketplace servers are.

Yup. Just stand in your home and select World >> About Land (or Parcel Details, in some viewers). Select Abandon Land and walk away. Oh, if you have placed any objects in your house, pick them up first and take them back to your inventory. :smileywink:

The Maximum Bandwidth setting in Preferences >> Graphics is a bit misleading. Increasing its value does not necessarily buy you greater bandwidth. All it is doing is telling your viewer how much of your available bandwidth may be used for basic functions of SL (communication, textures, movement, environment variables, etc.). If you have 2,000 Kbps available, increasing the Maximum Bandwidth setting beyond that will not give you greater bandwidth. In fact, it can cause trouble with other systems that depend on bandwidth, primarily voice and stream media. If you have 2,000 Kbps available and all of it is being used for basic functions, there is nothing left for voice and streaming media, neither of which is included in the "maximum" parameter. The best advice, therefore, is to set Maximum Bandwidth to 80% of your available upload bandwidth.

The script then either activates immediately (if the furniture has a single animation) or gives you a dialog box that presents choices (if there are several animations available). The script may be in the furniture itself or in a separate ball (a pose ball) that is floating somewhere over the furniture. If it's in a pose ball, you have to actually click or sit on that ball. Anything trickier than what I have described will be explained in a notecard from the creator that should have been distributed with the furniture. If you have questions or can't find the instructions, you should contact the creator. You can find that person's name by typing CTRL + 3 to open your Build Editor and then clicking on the furniture itself. You should see the creator's name on the General page.

See https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-26435 , which was repaired for V3, but which still affects previous viewers. Also check to see that you have Basic Shaders enabled in Preferences >> Graphics . If you don't have Basic Shaders enabled, glow will not work.
