You do have a list named emotes, but you don't have one named thank. You'll never be able to get if(~llListFindList(thank,[message]) to be true, since it's looking for message in a list that doesn't exist. Refer to the WIKI for the proper syntax for llListFindList and all other LSL functions. The error message that you are getting near the timer event has nothing to do with that, though. That's happening because you have mismatched { } brackets. I can see that you opened one with your new if("Thank" == message){ statement, but my bet is that you never closed it. The compiler got all the way to the end of the listen event looking for it and finally gave up looking.

That sounds like Voodoo, Charolotte. Your inventory is just a collection of pointers that tell the asset servers where to find things that you have saved. One item is like another, as far as size is concerned. It's like the names in a telephone book. Your name takes up the same amount of space on the page as the name of somebody who has a family of 12 people, plus 3 dogs and a goldfish. It's just an entry in a list. As others have pointed out, your space on LL's servers is essentially unlimited, too, so the size of your image file on the servers shouldn't make a difference either. Saving a monster file to your own computer, though, could be a problem. Transmitting a file takes a chunk of your bandwidth. You have probably noticed that SL always stalls a little bit when you upload a texture or when you send a photo to your Marketplace listing. Those images are pretty small, so they only stall SL for a tiny bit. If you transmit a huge file, though, you can chew up enough bandwidth for long enough to stall SL into a crash.

You mean your Windlight presets, the ones you use to create a customized lighting effect? Those only apply to what you see on your own computer. Nobody else sees your settings. The only exception to that is if you own the sim you are on and have used those customized settings as the default lighting scheme for the entire sim. In that case, visitors will see what you have preset, if they have adjusted their own Preferences to accept local Windlight settings .

You don't need to be outside the U.S. to use an alternative exchange. The Lindex is always the best option, because you can be confident that it is safe and that you are getting the best exchange rate there. If you cannot use the Lindex for some reason, though, you can use any of the alternatives that are archived on this site >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Archive/Third_Party_Linden_Dollar_Exchanges . They have all passed LL's Risk API, so they are legitimate exchanges, unlike some that you may find if you do a Google search. BTW, I only stumbled on your post just now because I had marked the original thread. If you still need help on this or any other matter, please do not attach your question to someone else's ancient thread. Start a new one where more people are likely to see it and be able to help.

llTargetOmega doesn't actually rotate anything. As Darkie said, all of the apparent motion is done on your own computer, not in SL's servers. As far as the servers are concerned, nothing has changed about your object, therefore there is nothing to reset. You may be able to fool the servers into resetting, though, if you deliberately rotate the object a bit and then rotate it back. Don't use llSetRot, though. You'll have a 0.2 second delay each time that function is called, so the reset will look choppy. Instead, use llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast..... rotation tempRot = llGetRot();llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[PRIM_ROTATION, llEuler2Rot<0.0,0.0,10.0>*DEG_TO_ROT)*llGetRot()]);llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[PRIM_ROTATION, tempRot]);

That's not a bad video card, although it's a pretty old model by now. I had one myself until about a year ago. As the others have said, though, you desperately need more memory on it. 574Mb of available RAM on that card is not going to cache a lot of textures, so you're going to find that much of your world is gray while the card struggles to download textures that it doesn't have saved. All that downloading will also slow down other things for you. Your frame rate will drop and you'll look like you are walking in molasses. Until you can install more memory, lower your draw distance to something like 64m so that the card doesn't see as many things to download and render. In fact, set your Quality slider in Preferences >> Graphics no higher than Medium.

Under normal circumstances, the Lindex is your best way to buy and sell L$. You'll usually get the best exchange rates there. When you can't get into the Lindex, though, you can buy Lindens from a "safe" list of third party L$ exchanges that have passed LL's Risk API. You'll find an archived list here >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Archive/Third_Party_Linden_Dollar_Exchanges . Even if you decide to take that route, I recommend that you call the LL billing office and ask what's going on with your account. The billing team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Toll-Free (US/Canada) 800.294.1067 Long-Distance 703.286.6277 Local Toll-Free numbers * France: 0805.101.490 * Germany: 0800.664.5510 * Japan: 0066.33.132.830 * Portugal: 800.814.450 * Spain: 800.300.560 * UK: 0800.048.4646 * Support is in English Only

I only spotted your question by chance, so most people will probably miss it. I strongly suggest starting your own thread instead of pasting onto the bottom of someone else's ancient question. When you repost the question, tell us the results of the ping test you did on your connection (See Luc's response, above). Bandwidth is only part of the concern. If your connection is being interrupted along the way so that you have high packet loss (anything over even 1% loss), you will suffer exactly the symptoms that you are reporting. Essentially, you may have a nice wide communication pipeline (bandwidth), but if there's a blockage in the line somewhere, information won't get through. You'll look like a fluffy cloud, you won't be able to move, and you'll crash spontaneously.

If I were you, I would take baby steps first. Learn your basic building skills and practice them by making a few simple things. The Ivory Tower of Prims still has the best set of tutorial guides on building, so it's worth an afternoon or more to go there and do those tutorials. It's easy to find the place if you use Search ( https://search.secondlife.com ). Then, consider taking a few free classes at a place like Builder's Brewery or NCI. Again, use your Search and type in "building classes" to see what's being offered across SL. You'll be able to practice building in a sandbox, but you'll need your own land to put your house on, so you might as well buy or rent a parcel that meets your needs and build there. See >> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Buying-land/ta-p/700043 Finally, the most important part of building a house is texturing. Without good textures on all parts of your house, it will look like a stak of plywood blocks (which it is :smileytongue: ). You will be able to find freebie textures in many places, and some of them are quite good. You will probably want to visit merchants in world or in Marketplace to find textures that are exactly right for YOUR house, though. Again, Search is your friend. You'll be able to find loads of good texture merchants, and classes in how to apply textures effectively. It all sounds rather daunting, but many other people have done it before you, so you can too. Just ... baby steps.....

That's because you are trying to enter SL from a web site, using a SLURL. A SLURL is a very special type of URL. It only makes sense as an address when it is used inside Second Life. If you want to use a SLURL outside SL, from your Firefox browser, you need to teach Firefox what a SLURL is first. Begin by downloading and installing a Second Life viewer. Without a viewer, you won't be able to get into SL at all. You'll get a viewer here >>> https://secondlife.com/support/downloads/?lang=en-US . Then, when you are in Firefox, (1) open the Tools menu at the top of the screen and navigate to Options >>> Applications. (2) Scroll down in that new window until you see secondlife in the list on the left side. (3) Look at the list on the right side, and use the menu there to locate the SL viewer that you just installed. Select it, so that it shows in that right hand column. (4) Close the window. Firefox will now know that whenever you click on a SLURL, it means "Open the SL Viewer and log me in at tis spot." Most of the time, of course, you will want to log in the normal way, by opening your SL viewer. A SLURL can be handy, though, so it's good to go through that setup process.

Is she in your Friends list or do you have a Calling Card for her? I know if could still be hard to recognize her if you have a monster list of friends, but you might get lucky and recognize the name.

Go to Preferences >> Graphics and lower your Maximum Bandwidth to 1,200 or lower. The Maximum Bandwidth setting does not take into account the bandwidth that your system needs to have for Voice and streamed media. If you set it too high, you are telling your viewer to devote all of your available bandwidth to basic SL needs (transmitting information about the positions and shapes of objects and avatars, textures, communication, etc.). If your own available bandwidth is limited, there won't be anything left for voice and streamed media, so they will start to get choppy or may fail altogether. It may also be wise to reboot your router, BTW. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes and then plug it back in. That will let it clear its RAM and get a fresh look at an IP address.

You can buy L$ through the Lindex Access the exchange through your dashboard at secondlife.com or go there directly with https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/buy.php . You can earn some L$ in world if you have a creative skill and want to try your hand at making items to sell in world or in Marketplace. It can be a very enojoyable way to experience SL, but don;t expect to make a lot of money at it until you really know what you are doing and have put a lot of effort into building a business.

Hi, Marian -- If the procedure that Angel recommended doesn't work, you may have a viewer that was somehow damaged as it was downloaded, or as it was installed. Instead of simply reinstalling a new copy on top of the existing one, I recommend doing a clean reinstall. That invloves being sure to erase all traces of the current one first, so that you don't inherit glitched files in the new installation. You will find good, detailed instructions for doing this at >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_clean_reinstall . Those instructions are for the Firestorm viewer (an excellent alternative to the LL viewer, BTW), but they will work for any viewer -- although some file names will be slightly different.

You must be 18 to access Moderate or Adult regions in SL.

Please stop adding more threads. If you have a question, we will be glad to try answering it. Otherwise, all you are doing is making pointless rants to other residents who can do nothing to help.

Who? What link? What do you want to do? 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.

This is a resident-to-resident Answer service. There are no Lindens here. Do you have a question?

Probably not. Your landlady can do almost anything with her own sim that she wants, including kick everybody off at any time. Unless the covenant for the sim says something specific about how much notice she will give, and whether you get any refunds, you're pretty much out of luck. I really agree that it wasn't a kind thing to do, but that's about it. The Lindens almost certainly won't interfere in a resident dispute.

Gee, I thought it was longer ago than just 2010. I don't remember seeing it since 2008. It was interesting in a way, although never very informative. Sort of like reading the obituaries in an out of town newspaper. "Oh, look! Somebody died!"

Zut! A moi, c'est la meme chose. :smileytongue:

Depending on which viewer you are using, you ought to be able to simply make that setting in Preferences. If your viewer doesn't have that option, you can still do it by opening your Advanced menu (CTRL + Alt + D) >> Debug Settings and typing in AutoAcceptNewInventory . In the little window that opens, click the TRUE button and then close the window. Frankly, though, I don't think auto accepting items is usually a good idea. I'm sure that your Mom told you never to accept things from strangers. It's a good rule in SL too. There are a lot of griefers out there who would love to give you things that have malicious scripts in them, so I think it's wise to always take your time and make a deliberate conscious choice about whether you REALLY want to accept something you are given. Linden Lab evidently feels the same way. That's why the AuotAcceptNewInventory setting is set by default to FALSE.

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.

Great! That's good to know. Thanks, Ansariel.

Thank you for helping to emphasize the importance of making account changes ONLY on LL's own web site, Chelsea. That is always extremely important.
