Everything is fine here. The sun is shining, I am about to have breakfast, and the day ahead looks terrific. Thank you for asking.

There are situations where a CPU will go to 100% usage when a viewer is running. This appears to occur most in computer with nVidia video cards - but not only. Another effect that seems to happen with nVidia cards is that the viewer will freeze, seemingly at random, and for varying periods of time. Or it will lock up when you attempt to open profiles or try to search. There are two solutions possible. See here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=100_cpu

There are few guarantees in life. Linden Lab does not offer technical support service with Basic membership, even over the telephone, so you can only have a chance at getting them to address your problem by upgrading to Premium. If you haven't been able to solve them problem on your own, with help from fellow residents here in the forums and with diligent search in the Knowledge Base and elsewhere, then that sounds like the next step. Only you can decide whether it is worth it. EDIT: I am reading posts in inverse order this morning and have just seen your earlier one. Let me quote my own response to that post here again.... "There are situations where a CPU will go to 100% usage when a viewer is running. This appears to occur most in computer with nVidia video cards - but not only.

Perhaps this is a long shot, but look anyway ... If you log in to an all blue screen, check your location (top of your screen), to see if you are near the SIM corner, at 10, 10, 10. If so, you almost certainly have a problem gesture. If that's it, see here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=gesture_issues

If you're using Firestorm, the equivalent directions to what Angel and Cinn provided are World >> Parcel Details >> General >> Script Info >> Avatar. BTW -- Congratulations on working to get your script count down. 151 is waaaaaay too many to be carrying around. You ought to be able to get it down to 20 or fewer. Good luck.

You've probably done the same search I did, Nyll, and found that we haven't had any other questions about the Huawei router. It sounds as if you have isolated it as your problem, though. You may just have to go buy yourself something more reliable. :smileysad:

I don't know about Ac3d, but in Blender you can see an approximation of the bounding box that your model will have in SL. Typically, the bounding box extends well beyond the visible body of your object whenever you have a tight curve and the program has had to create a smooth surface by interpolating between vertices that are too far apart. To a degree, working within the limits of sculpty geometry, you can beat the problem by moving vertices closer together when they are in an area with sharper changes in curvature. That way, the shape of the bounding box is closer to the same shape as your visible model.

There are no "rules" or professional standards in SL, so you are what you claim to be. That can be a disadvantage if you are a professional and want to build credibility and stand out from the non-professionals, but it's also an invitation for you to help set a standard. There are in-world counseling services for many women's issues, including pregnancy and childbirth. You ought to be able to find some with a simple search, or you can get a head start by visiting HealthInfo Island and perusing the resources that they have. As is the case for most small busineses in SL, you will need to invent your own as you go along, but contacts that you make during this background phase will make it easier to plan. As an afterthought .... You may want to distinguish between midwifery and RL resource services on the one hand and in-world role-play pregnancy/child care on the other hand. The two obviously overlap, but I think you will find that there's a difference in clientele between young RL couples and SL role-players.

I'm afraid that Curious is right. You are working on an old laptop with an old graphics gard and insufficient memory. You will probably only be able to get a V1 codebase viewer like Imprudence or 1.23 to run on it. V2/V3 codebase viewers need a fancier machine.

If you're renting the land, you'll have to ask your landlord to add your friend to the rental group that the land is set to. The landlord may or may not agree.

Allowed = (key)llGetObjectDesc(); LSL is picky that way. :smileywink:

No. The LSL Scripting forum is for people who want to learn how to write scripts or have scripting insights to share with other scripters. We don't give away scripts here, but I can tell you how to write it. Your script will capture any touches in a touch_start event, so in that event you need to detect the avatar who touched. Do that with llDetectedKey. Then you need to test whether that person is the special one you're looking for. Compare llDetectedKey(0) to the UUID of that special person. if (llDetectedKey(0) == special_key) , where you substitute the person's UUID for the variable special_key If the result is TRUE, do one thing. If it's FALSE, do something else. So, study a couple of basic LSL tutorials to get a feel for how that script has to be put together, and look at the LSL wiki for the specific details of how a llDetectedKey function works. If you get stuck, come back here and add to this thread by showing us what you have done.

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. This is not likely to be a firewall issue, unless you have done something recently to change your firewall settings. If you suspect that it might be possible, however, see here for instructions about how to set an exception for your viewer in your firewall software >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Configure_your_software_firewall

You ought to be able to use Pocket Metaverse, but you will have limited functionality.

Your account balance should be updated as soon as you make the purchase. If you have looked at your account record on your dashboard at secondlife.com and it has not been updated, you should probably call the LL billing office to ask why not.

You don't have to have a Premium account. If you find a parcel that's the right size on a private estate, you can rent from the sim owner, even if you have a Basic account. That's what I have done for years.

If you asked LL to reset the sim to an earlier state, they did exactly what you asked for. Resetting recovers EVERYTHING to exactly the way it was at the time step you requested. All terraforming is reversed, moved or deleted objects are restored to their previous positions, earlier texturing is restored, newly-added features are removed......... It's like the old Groundhog Day movie.

Or maybe this way .... integer gALF;integer gCount;integer gON; default{ state_entry() { llSetMemoryLimit(8128); //Save memory with Mono } touch_start(integer total_number) { llSetAlpha((gALF = 1),ALL_SIDES); //Default to alpha = 1.0 when touched llSetTimerEvent(0.1*(gON = !gON)); //Toggle on/off gCount = 0; } timer() { llSetTimerEvent(0.1); // Normal time steps to fade/unfade gCount += gALF; if(!(gCount%20)) // When gCount = 0 or gCount = 20 { llSetTimerEvent(15.0); //Pause for 15 seconds gALF = -gALF; //Reverse direction } llSetAlpha(1.0 - gCount * 0.05, ALL_SIDES); //Change alpha by +/- 0.05 } } I like to be able to toggle a system on/off, and I can't do that when llSleep gets in the way. :smileywink: EDIT: Squished it a bit.

As Angel and Val have said, there are sometimes particular challenges with mesh objects rezzing or alpha sorting issues with textures that can make a skirt hard for some people to see. If the sim is laggy, though, or if some people's own viewers are laggy, ordinary prim attachments can sometimes fail to rez properly. I've had it happen many times. There's a perfectly good, though complicated reason. If you are a builder, you have almost certainly found that some days it can take 10, 15, 20 seconds or more to rez a simple cube on the ground. From the server's perspective, rezzing takes extra work. The server has to calculate the position and shape of the new object, texture it, and then calculate its visual and physical effect on other things around it. The server deliberately "stalls" for a very short amount of time to do all of that. The more complex an object is, the longer the server stalls. If there's a lot going on in the sim, lag happens. An attachment presents an additional challenge, but this time it's a challenge to the viewer. When your avatar moves and a flexi skirt has to follow, all of the animation that goes into what you see on the screen is done by your own graphics card. If you have a friend whose graphics card is already lagging and the sim's servers are lagging too, chances are good that it will take extra time figuring out where to rez your skirt. Sometimes you can help things out by detaching and re-attaching the skirt yourself -- potentially kicking the server and viewers into taking a fresh look. Sometimes, though, you just have to wait.

It may be your video card. See here for an explanation and a potential cure >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=100_cpu . It worked for me. :smileyhappy: You should also be aware that Norton sometimes doesn't play well with SL. You may have settings in it that are overly restrictive.

You can't find an Emerald download. Emerald was outlawed about a year and a half ago. If you find a copy someplace and log in with it, you stand a good chance of being banned by LL (although I doubt that they will even let you connect to their servers at this point).

Who's demanding? LL's instructions about setting up a payment method say,"Often the initial agreement can't be set up due to an unverified PayPal account. To use your PayPal account with Linden Lab, it must be verified and have a credit card on file as a backup funding source. Linden Lab does not accept e-check (bank account) payments through PayPal because they cannot be processed quickly enough to match the instant delivery of virtual goods and services. Therefore, we require that you have a credit card on file with PayPal as a backup payment source." It has been a very long time since I set my account up, so I can't recall what options I had, but that quote sounds exactly the opposite of what someone is telling you. Perhaps Paypal is telling you that they want a bank account as their backup? You don't have to use PayPal at all, of course. You can have LL bill directly to a credit card.

If the balance in your account (on your dashboard at secondlife.com) shows that you have been credited with the L$ you paid for, then the purchase is complete. If you change the payment info to your new credit card, it will affect your next purchases.
