  1. You really ought to file a JIRA report on this one (http://jira.secondlife.com). There have been several somewhat similar reports this year, as you'll see if you search the JIRA for "mesh crashes", but most are poorly documented or seem to have cured themselves. I suspect that some graphics cards may overload if they need to render complex mesh objects, but the developers would need to know your system specs and something about the specific mesh that makes you crash if they have any hope of figuring out why.

    If you are in a Linden home, you have a total prim allowance of 117 prims. Your house doesn't count against that total (That's a special feature, only true for Linden homes. Everyplace else, your house counts against the prim allowance for the parcel.) You can do quite a lot of decorating within 117 prims, but only if you pay close attention to how many prims each object you rez takes. You can find a good sculpty sofa that uses only 3 or 4 prims, for example, but you can find others that easily have 20 prims or more. I have a vase of prim roses that use 75 prims. (I never rez it.) Anyway, shop wisely and stay within a prim budget. The only way to increase your prim allowance is to own more land, and that costs L$.
  3. 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. 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.
  4. Find it in your inventory, right click on it, and select Rename.
  5. Oh, man, I hate it when that happens. Once you have given money away, it's virtually impossible to get it back. You can try calling the LL billing ofice and asking for their help, but don't be surprised if they are reluctant. Your transaction will show up in the files as a gift, and here's really no independent way to verify that you didn't give it on purpose. Give it a try, though. LL's billing team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. ....

  6. See if the snippet for the function back_view at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetCameraEyeOffset helps.
  7. As you write your script, select a texture randomly by using (integer)llFrand( (float)llGetInventoryNumber( INVENTORY_TEXTURE ) Then, as you give out that random texture, store its name in a list. Every time you select another random texture, check it against your list. If it's not on the list, hand it out and add the name to the list. If it is on the list, select a new texture. You cannot change perms on an object by using LSL, however, so be sure that your textures all have the appropriate "next owner" perms before you add them to your vendor object's inventory.
  8. Wenn Sie Premium-Mitglied der SL sind, können Sie Live Chat verwenden zu fragen, LL um Hilfe bei der Beseitigung von Ihnen aus der Gruppe. Andernfalls können Sie nur auf SL mit einem anderen Konto (ein alt) hineingehen, finden Sie den Eigentümer der Gruppe, und ihn bitten, Ihnen auszuwerfen.

I keep .jpg copies of all PNGs that I have uploaded (more or less). Ah... OK. Well, then, just for completeness .... JPG images do not have any layer information, and won't have an alpha channel. You may have other problems if you upload one of your saved files, especially if your image includes a lot of text or other high contrast elements, since JPG is a lossy compression format, but at least no alpha problems.
  10. I have always been able to do it by simply dragging and dropping a new image onto the insignia box when I have the Group Info window open. That should work, as long as you are an owner of the group. If you look at this JIRA report, though, you'll see that at least one other person has had the same trouble you are having >>> https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SNOW-699 . The solution that apparently worked in that case was to right click on the insignia window and use the texture picker instead of trying to drag and drop. Give that a try and see what happens.
  11. Ordering items and paying up front before you receive the merchandise is an act of faith in either SL or RL -- probably more so in SL because we never see each other face to face. As a scripter, I do a lot of transactions like that and have learned to trust the people I do business with, as they trust me. If you haven't received something you paid for in a private transaction, LL won't help you resolve the matter. Almost any merchant will work with you, though. It just calls for persistence and patience. Like many residents, merchants may be away from SL for days at a time, and you can easily imagine family crises in RL that could distract someone for longer than that. If you've been sending notecards, too, they may have exceeded the merchant's 25 item "in box" limit and been tossed by the system. Seven business days is a rather long time not to hear back, I agree, but all I can suggest is that you keep trying. Good luck.
  12. You may be able to get help by calling the billing office, since this is an account question. Give it a try anyway. LL's 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 They may ask you to file a support ticket, but if they are allowed to handle your question on the pohone it would be faster.
  13. I've never had any use for that camera control viewpad myself. It uses up valuable real estate on my screen, blocking things that I would rather see. I find it much faster (and smoother) to use either my mouse or my arrow keys in conjunction with Alt, CTRL, and Shift. Those shortcuts are all described here >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Camera-point-of-view-controls/ta-p/700047. If you really want to use the camera control viewpad, though, take a look at this JIRA report >>> https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-1647 . You are not alone. There is a bug that apparently causes a delay when you just click on the control. You can beat it, sort of, by clicking and dragging -- which is a nuisance -- or you can use the keyboard/mouse shortcuts until they fix it.
  14. Unfortunately, no. If you are a Premium member, you can try asking in Live Chat, but I would be very surprised if they would circumvent the permissions system --- or even if they can. We certainly can't do it here, because we are all SL residents like you.
  15. You can only transfer objects from one account to another if you have transfer permissions on them.
  16. You have discovered the alpha sorting problem, common to all OpenGL based systems, like SL. It's a well-known problem. The easiest way to avoid it, as Ceera says, is to save your image deliberately as a 24-bit file, not a 32-bit one. When you save a TGA file, Photoshop makes that choice explicit. When you save a PNG file, however, you have to be sure to use the "Save for Web" option if you want to guarantee that it will be 24-bit. Otherwise, as others have said, even one pixel with an extra 8 bits will force the PNG file to be saved by default as 32-bit. People who use PNG often unwittingly create alpha issues by not being aware of that possibility. Once it's uploaded to SL, of course, the whole thing becomes a JPEG2000 file, but the decision about alpha has already been made by then. If you uploaded a 32-bit image, all you can do is try and manage any sorting problem with design tricks. See >>> http://forums-archive.secondlife.com/109/32/80851/1.html for a good synopsis of alpha issues in SL. For more about alpha sorting, see >>> http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Transparency_Sorting
  17. If it's happening every time, you have a connection problem. You may be able to take care of it by simply rebooting your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes. Go out for coffee, maybe. When you plug it back in, it will have cleared out its RAM and will have a chance to get a fresh grasp on your IP address. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you ought to open your statistic bar (CTRL + Shift + 1) and look at your Ping Sim and Packet loss statistics. If th ping number is much over 100 -- it should normally be 50-75 or so -- it's taking too long for data to get from your computer to SL's servers. If the packet loss figure is over about 0.01%, you're starting to lose data on the way. If SL's servers can't get avatar data intact from your viewer, they substitute a default -- the white cloud or Ruth, the pasty avatar. See >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Checking_for_packet_loss_%28network_lag%29
  18. It beats me. That's a cool looking bridge. File a ticket and find out.
  19. There are several possibilitites, but maybe the easiest is to do it in your changed event. if(change&CHANGED_OWNER){ gOwner = llGetOwner(); // gOwner is a global string variable string OwnerName = llKey2Name(gOwner); llSetText("My owner is " + OwnerName, <llFrand(1.0),llFrand(1.0),llFrand(1.0)>,1.0);}
  20. Definitely weird. The fact that it's happening with all viewers suggests really that something has changed in your computer -- it's not SL related per se. I'm tempted to say that you have a demon, but that would be silly. I am really out of other ideas, though.
  21. We have been offering you suggestions since your first post on October 8, but you have never responded to any of our requests for information about exactly what your problem is. In fact, as far as I can seen we have never had any indication that you are even reading our suggestions. There's not a lot we can do to help, I'm afraid. As before, I can only encourage you to add information to your question by clicking on the Options link in its upper right corner and selecting EDIT. It would be helpful to know what viewer you are using, what your computer's specifications are, what error messages you may have been getting, and what solutions you have already tried.
  22. Phoenix has supported RLV from the beginning >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=restrained_love_support_rlva
  23. Your last name is RESIDENT. You should know that the developer for Emergence suspended all update activity a long time ago ( See http://lordgreggreg.wordpress.com/2010/09/12/emergence-notice/), so that viewer has not kept up to date with code changes in the past year or more. If you like the approach that it uses, I'd suggest using the Phoenix viewer instead.
