Don't blame it on the prim grass or the falling leaves. They aren't going to do much, if anything, to create lag. There's something else going on. You might get a clue by looking at the Statistics Bar ( Shift + CTRL + 1 ).

Is there any alpha? I seem to remember that shiny doesn't like 32-bit textures. I haven't tried it recently, though, so that may be a constructed memory.

It's fairly common for antivirus programs to assume that Second Life is a threat, thus preventing you from connecting. It's also common for firewalls to block access. To take care of both possibilities, see >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=as_anti-virus_white_listing_steps and http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Configure_your_software_firewall . If you are on a college campus or trying to log in from work, you may need to talk with people in your IT department to gain access.

You may have simply been the victim of bad timing. LL was performing a scheduled upgrade of Marketplace servers yesterday. If you tried uploading and syncing during that period, it could have been messed up. Try again. If it STILL doesn't work, file a support ticket with the menu section "Marketplace." [RESOLVED] Scheduled Marketplace Update Posted by Status Desk on November 30th, 2011 at 09:18 am PST [RESOLVED 9:18 AM PST, 30 November 2011] The Marketplace update has been completed. The Marketplace is once again accessible. [updated 8:07am PST, 30 November 2011] We will be beginning the scheduled Marketplace update shortly. During this time, the Marketplace will not be accessible. [postED 2:10PM PST, 29 November 2011] There will be Marketplace downtime on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 from 8am -10am PST for a deploy. For release notes and details on where to check out this new release, please see the Marketplace Beta Release Notes. (Once the deploy is completed, the Production Release Notes will be updated.)

You can't "take" it if it doesn't belong to you. If the TV was deeded to the group, then you will have to have the group sell it back to you before you can reclaim it. Since it's your group, that's very easy. Just select the TV with your edit tool, set it for sale for L$0, and then immediately buy it.

Marigold's advice is right on target. I would emphasize, as she has, that the rate of income you may get from a job in SL is significantly lower than what you can earn in RL. In general, then, you are coming to SL for the wrong reason if you are expecting to make a lot of money. Those of us who make a passable living here (meaning that we can pay our in-world bills and have something let over for fun) are usually (1) people with a marketable skill in building, texturing, scripting, or animating, or (2) people who have been fortunate enough to start investing in real estate with a big bankroll and have been lucky not to lose it all since then. If you bring skills as a 3D modeller or a scripter, you can get off to a quick start. Otherwise, it will take a while before you start to break even. Other than those sorts of opportunities, the jobs that pay best are probably in clubs. If you are a good DJ or if you are willing to spend your hours dancing on a pole for tips, you can earn a steady income (though still a small one by RL standards). As far as weapons are concerned, the important thing to remember is that SL is not a game. There are plenty of places where you can play a game or engage in role play, but those are usually well-marked. If you play your game in other places, you will often get the local residents ticked at you, and can find yourself banned from the area. Watch the tiny icons at the top of your screen to see whether you are in a region that is either damage enabled or one where pushing is allowed. Those are good clues that swordplay is OK. Still, check local covenants or ask a local resident if you are at all unsure about the region's weapons policy. If it's OK with the locals, you can use your weapon HUD and rez weaponry as much as you want. The same goes for sandboxes. Read the local rules careully.

LL is still trying to find a fix for Voice appearing to be estate-disabled in many regions . Submit a support ticket, add your report to the JIRA, and get in line. You are not the only one. ETA: Meanwhile, there is a workaround that seems to work for some sims... (1) Disable Voice in World >> Region Details , (2) Hit "Apply" , (3) Restart the Region, (4) Re-enable voice.

Pics (snapshots) are textures. You can use PNG, TGA, JPG, or BMP.

There are probably many in SL, but this forum is not the way to find them. You'll want to ask in the Wanted section of the Commerce forum or search in Marketplace. Actually, though, the easiest solution is to use a viewer with a decent radar, like Firestorm or Phoenix. The radar in those viewers will list anyone in the sim by name and tell you how far they are from you. Otherwise, you can write a sim-wide scanner, but it's a lot of work. Sensors can scan a maximum radius of 96m, so you either need an array of four overlapping sensors to cover a sim at ground level or you need to script a moving sensor. Also, a sensor reports only the 16 closest avatars (or objects) within range, so if you have 20 avatars within your 96m radius it will only see 16 of them. There are ways to get around each of those limitations by doing multiple scans, but as I said, it's a lot of work.

As I said, the owner has no access so can't file a report but has asked if I can find any info about it, I'd really appreciate any info! Thank you, Im going through the tips you gave me now There are no logs of changes that you make to the landscape, so that's not possible. The owner can file a report and talk with the folks in Live Chat if he can get to the Internet at all. You don't need to be in world to do that. Just go to https://support.secondlife.com/contact-support/ and click the Live Chat link on the right side. Good luck.

There's no way to terraform land with a script, so it has to be done "manually." If you have checked the Block Terraform box in World >> Region Details >> Region , then nobody will be able to terraform except those people (presumably you and the owner) who have that ability in their group role. If you have only checked the Terraform box in the Parcel Details controls, however, that won't affect the rest of the sim. So be sure to check which one you did. Now, if you really have blocked terraforming at the region level, then there are only two possibilities..... (1) Somone with managerial abilities is changing the landscape or (2) There's something very strange going on with your sim. I strongly suspect that it's #1, so if I were you, I'd review the list of all people with abilities. If that doesn't solve the problem, and #2 is correct, only LL will be able to sort it out. You'll have to talk with Live Chat or the Concierge service.

That's a good short scripting challenge. There are a couple of good examples in the wiki page for llRezAtRoot that should get you started.

I won't disagree with you. I don't like the whole facebooky idea. My privacy settings are as tight as I can make them and I'm doing my best to keep my profile dead boring. I wish I could get people to unfollow me. Since I can't, the best I can do is to give them nothing to follow.

Faites un clic droit sur ​​votre avatar et sélectionnez «Apparence». Puis "Modifier la forme." Vous aurez la possibilité de modifier votre corps. Utilisez les commandes pour ajuster votre taille, puis sauvegarder le résultat.

There's no fix, because LL doesn't see it as a problem. It's a "feature," working as designed. You can read the threads in the other sections of the forums to see how other people have responded to it.

Yes, it can. It takes a little work, though.

I first heard that rumor in 2007. It comes back every once in a while, a few people notice, and it disappears again. All it takes to revive it is some journalist speculating in a blog, I guess. Unless you actually see something official on LL's own blog, I'd ignore it.

There are many libraries in SL, of varying sizes and types. Some are extensions of RL libraries. Others are purely in SL. One of the oldest and perhaps the largest is the Community Virtual Library (CVL), centered on the Info Island sim. CVL is a registered non-profit that represents a large number of public and academic libraries in RL and maintains its own selection of in-world collections and services. Among those are collections and themed services in genealogy, science fiction, children's literature, mysteries, religion, role play, women's studies, and scripting for example. Our reference area provides resource links and resources for addressing in-world and RL research questions, and is staffed by RL librarians for at least 25 hours a week. We also offer reading and discussion groups and a regular schedule of other events and exhibits, as well as an art gallery that represents some of the best SL artists. We offer books in a variety of fomats. Many are fascimile editions, textured to fit on your SL bookshelf and scripted to provide a link to an online text (Gutenberg, for example). Others are audio books, again on-line editions, for which we provide a dedicated HUD reader. We also provide a dedicated HUD reader for accessing daily newpapers in 12 major world languages. Any of those books are distributed free. We also have ThinC books (physical, paged editions) that are meant to be viewed in the libraries. Other libraries in SL sell copies of their books in this format. CVL and most of the other libraries in SL are not here to make money. We are supported by own own members, by parcel rental fees to RL partner libraries, and by donations. Most academic libraries are part of the larger in-world presence of their RL universities. To find where other libraries are in SL, open Search and type in "Library", or visit the CVL reference area and check the Directory of SL Libraries, which lists all the libraries that are accessible to the general public (that is, not on closed sims).

It's probably smarter to ask this question in the Merchants section of the Commerce forum, where you will hear from a cross section of merchants who have direct experience to share. My own personal preference is for ads that show a product in a setting where you might expect to see it being used. That gives prospective buyers a chance to get a sense of its size and a way to imagine what it might look like in their own setting. Photos in my Marketplace shop show me wearing the clothing I design and standing in a place where I might want the buyer to imagine herself. If I am selling a building or some home or garden product, I photograph it in a landscaped area and with me in it for scale. That's just me, though. Repost this question in the Merchants forum and see what they have to say.

I assume you mean a ghost prim, not a prim that has been set to phantom. A ghost prim is a prim that you can't see, even when you use CTRL + Alt + T to highlight transparent objects, but you can trip over it. The only way to get rid of a ghost prim is to restart your sim. Since you have tried that and had no luck, the next step is to talk with Live Chat or the Concierge service. ETA: It just occurred to me to ask... the floor of your castle is a megaprim, right? Did you maybe slice it and leave the cut side facing up? If so, you are walking around on the prim's bounding box, which is significntly above the visible level of the floor. Either flip the prim upside down or replace it with an unsliced one.

See the thread right next to this one in the LSL Scripting forum. In particular, look at Cerise's very simple example of a user defined function that makes use of llSetKeyframedMotion. The only thing you have to remember if you take this approach is that your object has to be defined in terms of the new Prim Equivalency system. That means adding llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_SET, [PRIM_PHYSICS_SHAPE_TYPE, PRIM_PHYSICS_SHAPE_CONVEX]); to your script before you call Cerise's function.

When you say "nothing shows on my dashboard," do you mean that the records on your dashboard look OK? No missing L$? No odd transactions? If so, then don't worry about it. The records on your dashboard are the reliable ones. The number that shows up on your viewer screen in world is often out of sync with reality, or it's just flat out wrong. Mine goes to zero or shows a string of ???? every once in a while too. I have a small heart attack, then take a deep breath and click the number to tell it to wake up and get back in the game. It usually does. Sometimes it waits until the next time I log in. In any case, I know that the L$ balance that I see in my viewer isn't the official one, so I just curse quietly and get on with life. Now, if the balance on your dashboard is wrong, that's more serious. In that case, it's time to call the LL billing office and get things straightened out. Here's how ...

File many Abuse Reports and document them well. Disclosing RL information is against the TOS. Violations may result in banning. If I were you, I would also shut down the group and find a new set of "friends."

I can't either. That entire sim seems to be misbehaving. You can't even walk or fly in, much less TP. The sim is not off line, but it IS inaccessible. Time to call Live Chat or the Conceirge service.

Ruth doesn't have to be in your Inventory to "take over" your avatar. Your avatar IS Ruth. So is mine. Ruth is the default form that any avatar takes if the servers can't find the one that's supposed to be in the avatar files in your viewer. When you log in, you are Ruth briefly until the servers finish uploading information from the viewer on your computerand baking it onto the form that you see in world. As you know, sometimes that baking process fails, usually because of a bad Internet connection. When it does, you can get stuck as Ruth until you rebake. A couple of years ago, residents got annoyed at seeing Ruth so often, so LL substituted a puffy white cloud for Ruth, but she's still there. If you use the Character Test option in the Develop menu, or if you set the RenderUnloadedAvatar debug setting to TRUE, you'll see her instead of the white cloud. The only reason she's also in your Inventory, as far as I can see, is that some people like to bring her out as a party gag.
