One way to do it, Innula, is to define a local sit target and put the llSameGroup test in the changed event in state default. The person who sits doesn't go anywhere, but is immediately unseated again. If the test is successful, however, you pass control to a new state. In state_entry of the new state, you define a distant sit target instead of the local one. Now, when the avatar sits for the second time, he's sitting on the activated TP target . That makes teleporting slightly more complicated, because it means that a person has to click twice (once to check group and once to TP), but it should work. You do need to double check in the second state to be sure that it's the same person who sat in state default, but that's easy to do.

Thank you, but that doesn't answer Dora's question. I'm still curious about what a "normalized rotation" is too, although I'm assuming that my last reply was probably what you meant, Rufus.

You could use either llDetectedGroup, as Ciaran suggested, or llSameGroup. Both functions will do the same thing for you and they are very easy to drop into your TP script. Take a look, for example, at the basic example at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlDetectedGroup . You should be able to add the group restriction to your TP script with just a couple of new lines of code.

It's hard to say from that description. One thing to suspect is that it never really disappears at all; it just becomes transparent. Try CTRL+Alt+T to see if you still have whatever it is attached to your knee. If it's there, you can detach it while it's highlighted by simply right clicking on it and selecting "Detach". As an alternative, you could also open your Inventory's Worn tab and look for the object. It should say something like "(worn on right upper leg)", so it should be easy enough to spot.

Did you check to be sure that there's a firewall exception for Firestorm on your machine, and that your antivirus program isn't blocking it? http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Configure_your_software_firewall http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=antivirus_whitelisting

Well, it is the Christmas holidays and many people (including me) are away from home, so don't be too surprised that you haven't had an answer yet. Still, the answer is yes, you may file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ Choose "Marketplace" from the pulldown menu, and be sure to include all of the information from your Transaction History when you make your report.

If you were banned, you should have received an e-mail from Linden Lab that explains why. It also explained how to file an appeal if you think they they made the wrong decision. Nobody in this forum can help you, because we are all SL residents like you. All you can do is follow the instructions that you were sent. They will not respond to a telephone call about this matter.

You can go to http://www.dominodesigns.info/ and download the avatar.blend file or you can go to http://static-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/avatar/avatar_mesh.zip and download the "official" LL avatar files in a zip archive.

That's the only way I know of too. It's not a very clean solution, though, because it leaves the user with a stack of URLs to open and inspect manually. To actually get the group names by script, you'd have to find a way to capture a response from that URL and parse it to extract the name. As I said before, that's way too much work for a job like this.

Have you ever been able to teleport before, or is this a new problem? If your firewall is blocking outbound TCP port 12043, then teleporting, viewing the World Map, crossing regions, and related activities won't work. In fact, it can make you crash. See >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Configure_your_software_firewall to find out how to create a firewall exception for your viewer. It's also possible that you are trying to carry way too much baggage with you as you teleport. Remember .... when you TP the servers have to hand off not only your avatar but everything that is attached to you. If you are wearing a ton of things -- especially scripted things -- the servers may time out, or they may lose you en route. See >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Troubleshooting_teleporting for other possible problems.

Pussycat Catnap wrote [...] On MP's look and the images. I hope people here realize that product images there are made by individual merchants to sell their individual goods. LL's just provides the platform. This isn't an Amazon model. Its closer to eBay - LLs has no ownership or control over 90-99% of what you see on MP. Gee, I wish I had said that ... :smileytongue:

It can't be done. All profiles are available. The best you can do is to make all of your Privacy settings as restrictive as possible and then make the content of your page dead boring. Do not include RL information, interests, or recommendations. The closest you can come to being "off the radar" is to log in as an alt and not tell anyone at all who you are.

Nice. You may want to reconsider converting each parcel owner's key to a name with llKey2Name, though. That function will not return a valid name unless the person is in the sim at the moment (or has very recently left it). If you really need that information, it's probably wiser to save the list of UUIDs and then use llRequestAgentData to convert them all later. Even then, you will run up against a wall if the parcel is owned by a group. At the moment, I can only think of one way to get the name of group from its UUID, and that's more trouble than it's worth.

Angel's link is exactly what you need for learning how to sell things in Marketplace. If you want to sell something in world, the easiest solution is to (1) Rez a box (2) Put your sale item in it (3) Use the menu on the General page of your Build/Edit tool (CRRL + 3) to set a sale price. You can also use controls on that page to indicate whether you are selling what;'s in the box, a copy of what's in the box, or the box itself, and you can set the box so that the BUY option opens when someone clicks on it. This is that way that simple vendors work in world. You can dress up your box with a fancy image and hover text, and cn do a lot of other cool things, but if all you want is a dirt-simple vendor, that's it.

My guess is that your Internet connection offers you a much lower bandwidth than you are accustomed to in the city and that your Maximum Bandwidth is set too high for your connection in the country. Let me make up some numbers to illustrate why this can be a problem...... Suppose that you have 1,800 Kbps of available bandwidth in the city. The Maximum Bandwidth setting tells your viewer how much of the available bandwidth it may use for transmitting information about shapes, textures, and positions, plus communications. Suppose that you set your Maximum Bandwidth at 1,800 but SL only needs 1,000 Kbps to handle those basic functions. That would leave you normally with 800Kbps to handle streaming media and Voice, which is much more than you will need. Now you move to the country. Your new Internet connection is much more limited. It only offers you 1,000 Kbps of bandwidth. But your Maximum Bandwidth setting is still 1,800! Your viewer therefore assumes that it is allowed to use as much bandwidth as it can find for basic functions -- up to 1,800 --- so it uses the entire 1,000 that's available. Nothing is left for Voice and streaming media. You have no music. The solution is to decrease the Maximum Bandwidth setting, so that you are always reserving some of it for non-basic functions. The standard recommendation is to set it at 80% of the available upload bandwidth. Using my made-up numbers, your new Maximum Bandwidth setting in the country should be 800. That will leave 200 Kbps for media and Voice. The downside is that it will also decrease your frame rate and give you more lag, but at least you'll hear the music. When you move to the country, you can't expect service to be as great as it was in the city, after all.

Yes, that's probably true on most sims. I imagine there are few 4m square parcels on most well-managed sims, so you're right that 4m hops are overkill. There could easily be random lost parcels on a less well-managed sim, though,so I wasn't prepared to suggest ignoring them. If I were digging though 4096 cells by hand, I'd go nuts. Fortunately, doing it with a script is a piece of cake by comparison. If you check for duplicate hits as you scan, you increase the time it takes to run the job but you keep the amount of stored data within limits. Incidentally, I can't get in world to check, but I believe that you can use llGetParcelFlags, llGetParcelMaxPrims, llGetParcelPrimCount, and llGetParcelPrimOwners without actually standing in the parcel, so you should be able to gather those data without moving the scanner physically too, as Rufus suggested.

The name of the way >>>> Buy it. See https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/buy.php How much I earn an hour >>>> As much as I am worth. Seriously, who in his right mind would spend time in world working just to earn money? You can earn much more in much less time with a RL job than you can earn in SL. Save your lunch money for a couple of days and you'll have enough to cover a month's expenses in SL and have money left over. And you won't have wasted your in-world relaxation time working either. If you want to work, of course, that's different. Just don't fool yourself into thinking that it's an easy way to get much L$ in SL.

That certainly sounds like a harsh conversation. Without knowing more of the context, though, I can't make any judgment about whether it was fair or unfair for you to be banned from the estate. In fact, though, it doesn't make any difference what I think. A sim's owner and managers can decide to eject or ban anyone they choose, just the same way you can tell anyone to leave your house in RL. They don't have to explain why, and they don't even need to have a reason. The question now is how you are going to react. You could choose to be angry and let this mess up your RL experience, or you can move on and find someplace else to enjoy. There are plenty of them, so I know what my choice would be.

You're right, Rufus. All you need to do is feed llGetParcelDetails position vectors for a 64 x 64 grid of points across the sim. You can do that in a loop, with continuous checking for duplicates, in almost no time. Thanks.

You have an incomplete connection to SL or, more accurately, an intermittent one. The walking animation is performed client-side, not in SL's servers. It is triggered whenever the servers tell your viewer that you are moving, and it is supposed to stop again when the servers tell your viewer that you are no longer moving. If your Internet connection is weak, that information may be slow to arrive, so your avatar either walks when it is not supposed to, or it doesn't walk when it is supposed to. This sort of problem may be the result of using wireless instead of a good cable connection, or it may be a problem with your router. Wireless is not designed for the steady continuous use that SL demands. It is also vulnerable to interference from cell phones, garage door openers, smart appliances, fluorescent light fixtures, and anything else that emits RF interference. If you have a choice, use a direct cable instead. You can check to see if the router is a problem by temporarily plugging your computer directly into the modem, bypassing the router completely. If that clears up the problem, then at the very least you need to reboot your router. You might need to have it serviced or replaced.

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.

You could create a moveable scanner easily enough. Have it zip all over the sim in 4m hops, sampling each potential bit of land with llGetParcelDetails. Then clean the multiple hits out of your data to arrive at the final report.

You can go to all the trouble of putting up ban lines and installing security orbs, but why do you care, especially when you aren't there anyway? After all, nobody can steal anything in SL. If you are smart, you have set your land perms to prevent non-group members from being able to rez things, and you have prohibited object entry, so visitors can't trash your home either. If people wander in to admire your home, it's no big deal. If you really do care for some reason, just install a greeter that does nothing but say "Hello!" plus a visitor's name and the time every 30 seconds if people visit when you're not around. It's friendly but just annoying enough to discourage people from hanging around for very long.

Unfortunately, many of the people who are still using non-mesh capable viewers like1.23 are not likely to upgrade to one of the mesh-capable ones because their computers simply won't handle them. It's not entirely a matter of choice for them; it's economics. The mesh-capable viewers have many additional features besides mesh that place a high demand on older graphics cards. Those viewers either create incredible lag for the user or they fail completely. Over time, of course, people will replace their old computers as they can afford to. People who try to enter SL on a wimpy notebook won't be able to, so they'll either get more capable systems or give up. Until then, though, that segment of the SL population won't be able to see mesh. I wish we had reliable statistics to tell us how big that population is, instead of making random guesses. As recently as last June, the 1.23 viewer was still the 4th most popular viewer in use (behind Phoenix, V2, and Firestorm beta -- in that order -- which were current at the time). The landscape has changed since then, however, so I have no idea what the ranking is today and what the percentage share of each may be.
