  1. That is annoying. While you wait for an answer, you can turn off particles by typing CTRL + Shift + Alt + = . That will turn off any particles, including your own, of course, but at least you won't see our neighbor's particle show all the time.
  2. Relax. Dora doesn't play macho games. I'm sure that many of us have used that same trick with WarpPos or PosJump. She's simply pointing out that the new function does what we have been able to do for a long time, only now it does it without having to rely on a hack. It's a nice addition to the LSL function list. :smileywink:
  3. It's not only a prblem for V2 users. That problem can affect all viewers. Here's an excerpt from the Firestorm support site: 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. For the rest of the discussion, including several ways to resolve the problem, see >> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=gesture_issues
  4. Angel gave you one good way to find the upload function in the V3 viewer. If you are using Firestorm (or most other viewers), you'll also find Upload in the Avatar or Me menu at the top left corner of your screen.
  5. You can't get paid "well" in SL. You'll earn a lot more in the same amount of time by getting a job at Burger King in RL, and you won't be spending your in-world time working. If you really want to work, though, try two things: 1. Read this >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Guide_to_Jobs_in_Second_Life 2. Post an interesting message in the InWorld Employment forum, letting people know what you are able to do, and see what happens.
  6. Unfortunately I can't help at all. Your entire script has mysteriously disappeared from the thread. That renders the entire thing meaningless to anyone else reading it.
  7. You have stranded four lines that are neither in state default nor in state Read_Param_Files: Line 57 ->key LineQueryID;integer Line_Number;integer Position_State;integer Line_State; My guess is that you intended those to define global variables. If so, they belong at the head of the script, along with the rest of the globals.
  8. As Cinn says, it's very unlikely that you have been banned from those places. You're either having chronic trouble teleporting or you are trying to go to places where you need to belong to the group that owns the place. There are lots of closed sims in SL. To see whether it's a teleport problem, consider the tips here >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Troubleshooting_teleporting .
  9. Invalid number of what? What are you trying to do? You can add important information to this post by clicking on the Options link in its upper right corner and selecting EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.
  10. Maybe the couples poses? It's hard to tell sometimes. They could be objecting to something in a photo or to a keyword you used, too.
  11. Everyone has a different definition of "griefer," so there's no clean answer to your question. Personally, I don't consider a casual trespasser much more than a nuisance. If you aren't home, it doesn't make any difference who visits. After all, nobody can steal your stuff in SL. If you have restricted building and object entry permissions, they can't leave their garbage behind either. If you are home, all you have to do is eject them (World >> Parcel Details >> Access) if they don't leave under their own steam, and then add them to your ban list if they come back. The bottom line is that you can only do so much to keep people out of anywhere in SL. Once you've done it, IMHO, anything else is a waste of energy. The real griefers are the ones who take advantage of your failure to restrict building, object entry, and terraforming by filling your parcel with screaming self-replicators and bringing the sim's server to its knees. By comparison with trespassers, beating those evildoers requires higher-order skills, broad authority, and (occasionally) some specialized tools.
  12. You don't have a house unless you requested one. As a Premium member of SL, you are entitled to a Linden Home, but you have to apply for it and make a selection. You'll find all you want to know at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Linden-Home-overview/ta-p/700103 Be sure to study the other links that are embedded in that Knowledge Base article as well so that you understand all your options.
  13. I've never had that happen, but my guess is that you have a temporary connection problem or you have other processes competing for your available bandwidth. It takes a fair amount of bandwidth to download a photo to your computer. I notice, for example, that streaming music often gets choppy or cuts out altogether when I'm downloading a photo. There's simply not enough bandwidth to do everything at once. If you are on wireless, or are downloading an upgrade to your anivirus package, or have a stock market ticker updating prices in the background, you might just be running short of available resources, so SL won't let you download your photo. You might have the same problem, BTW, if your router was acting a little flaky, so you might try rebooting it to see if that helps. Just unplug it from the power for a few minutes to let it catch its breath.
  14. It is very difficult to get any SL viewer to run successfully on a notebook computer. According to HP, that particular model has a maximum of 1024MB of memory available in RAM and has a graphics chip with a video memory of 128MB, both of which are way below the minimum requirements for any current SL viewer. If you manage to install a viewer, you will have exceedingly poor performance.
  15. "Busy" or "Away" mode can be handy, but I almost never use it. It declines all IMs, but it also declines any teleport requests and inventory offers. As a result, if someone gives you something while you are "busy" or if Marketplace delivers something that you ordered, it will be automaically refused.
  16. Just put a sit target in it. All it takes is a simple script to define the sit target. Once you have it, you can delete the script and the target will still be there. default{ state_entry() { llSitTarget(<-0.75,0.0,0.0>, llEuler2Rot(<0.0,-PI/2,0.0>)); }} Because you're using a torus for the seat, the sit target is a little odd, but it will work fine. The numbers I put in for <x,y,z> are arbitrary, since I don't know the dimensions of your bar stool. You can figure them out by trial and error easily enough. Change one number at a time until you are sitting at the right height (X) and far enough forward (Z) on the seat. To make this simple script work, the only things to remember are: 1. Put the script in the stool's seat prim 2. Be sure that the bar seat's LOCAL -X axis points UP and 3. The front of the bar stool is the LOCAL +Z axis . It helps to have the seat be the stool's root prim and to set the click action for the stool to "Sit on Object".
  17. Try using one of the alternative exchanges >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Archive/Third_Party_Linden_Dollar_Exchanges , at least until you can figure out why the Lindex doesn't like you.
  18. Unless you count clicking on a SLURL, the ability to teleport has very little to do with instant messaging, so you don't need one function to do the other. You can teleport by 1. opening your map view, selecting a target location on a sim, and clicking Teleport 2. clicking on a Landmark and then on its Teleport button 3. opening the Destinations panel and selecting a point of interest, then clicking its Teleport button 4. receiving a teleport invitation from a friend who is already at a target destination 5. clicking on a scripted object that uses one of several different LSL functions for teleporting As for IM, you can send a message by 1. right clicking on a person and selecting IM 2. opening a person's profile (in Search) and clicking on IM 3. opening your People panel and double clicking on the name of a nearby person or someone in your friends list I know I have left out options for both IM and teleporting, but those should get you started.

    It's probably a good idea to remove your e-mail address from this post .... unless you really love getting spam.
  20. You can't teleport objects unless they are attached to you, so you're OK if you can wear your ship. You won't have to worry about object entry either, since that doesn't apply to items you are wearing. One way to accomplish much of what you want would be to use a false teleport to hop short distances, the way that you commonly "teleport" from point to point within a single sim. You sit on an object (your ship, in this case) and its script moves you and the object in a rapid series of hops to a new target location. Normally that's done with the PosJump or WarpPos function, but we expect to see a new LSL function that serves the same purpose in the near future. A false TP system like this would be subject to object entry restrictions, and could be foiled if you hopped into a no-script area. You would have to go to some trouble to devise a way to anticipate ban lines as well. If you decide to go this route, I suggest making your "ship" as prim-light as possible to minimize sim boundary problems.
  21. You have done all the right things. If you've been watching comments in the General Discussion forum or in the Merchants forum, you have probably seen that here have been many more delivery problems over the past few weeks than usual. Merchants are just as frustrated as buyers. All I can suggest is that you file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ . Use the Marketplace choice in the pulldown menu. Be sure that you include all the information that you have copied out of your Transaction History.
  22. We have found that this problem can often be solved by clearing cache manually, from outside SL. It's a fairly easy process. See http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_cache_clear for good instructions, written for Firestorm users but applicable to any SL viewer. Clearing cache manually removes more than just your texture cache. It forces your viewer to rebuild several basic user files, any one of which may have been corrupted over time.
  23. I could try to explain ways to set rotations properly, but instead I think it is wiser for you to use a completely diferent method. Take a good look at the llSetKeyframedMotion function in the LSL wiki at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetKeyframedMotion . You can make your cat follow a very complex path easily by just defining new waypoints and local rotations. Your second problem is similarly easy to solve, and you have already found the answer. Assuming that your cat is designed to walk with its +Z axis pointing UP, you can always make it face East by saying llSetRot(ZERO_ROTATION). From there, you can turn the cat to face southward by writing llSetRot(llEuler2Rot(<0.0,0.0,PI/2>)), as you have already tried. If you have questions as you write your script, just post them in the LSL Scripting forum. We are always glad to help people who are learning to write LSL scripts or who have new insights to share.
  24. This sounds like a very good question to take to the Firestorm inworld support group >>> secondlife:///app/group/3a1be8d4-01f3-bc1a-2703-442f0cc8f2dd/about Many of us in the Answers forum are regular Firestorm users, but most of us do not have the expertise of Firestorm's support staff. You will find advice about troubleshooting Firestorm problems here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=getting_help
  25. I had never heard of Slow Radio before, but it's easy enough to find with a quick Google search. The QuickTime audio stream is at http://streams.slowradio.com/slowradio.qtl?id=qt You can see all of your other options at http://en.slowradio.be/listen_now
