  1. See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Viewers/my-memory-pool-is-low-what-does-that-mean/qaq-p/1162575/comment-id/2962#M2962. You are not the only person with the problem, but there IS a solution.
  2. Your script isn't doing that, at least not directly. If the object that your script is in has no name, then some viewers will actually say "(no name)" instead of leaving the object name blank when you put a message in chat. I have had this happen, for instance, with scripts where I have written .... string name = llGetObjectName();llSetObjectName("");llSay(0,"/me Hello, Bob!);llSetObjectName(name); Firestorm will say "(no name) Hello, Bob!" . I have been too lazy or preoccupied to find a way to beat it. I suppose one solution, though, is to give the object a name like "." that most users will never notice.
  3. She's blowing smoke. There's no rule about using the same name for your business as another SL resident, so nobody is going to ban you for it. However, it's good business practice to avoid selecting a name that will cause confusion. It can create bad feelings with competitors, as you discovered, and more importantly, can lead to confusion for your customers. What you do in this case is up to you.
  4. This is very interesting. We had a similar question a couple of days ago, and that was the first time anyone has reported seeing that error message. Here's my response to the first person who asked....... That is not a message from LL. That's coming from your own computer. Basically, it is telling you that you have been asking it to do too many things and its memory is getting overloaded. I suspect that the message will go away if you reboot your computer and then don't try to do quite so many things at once when you start up again. (It also may be that some program that you are running has a memory leak that causes it to use more and more memory over time.) Someone else may have a different insight. I do find it odd that we have now had two people ask this question this week, so maybe there is some SL component causing it. You might try opening your Task Manager in Windows to see what's using a lot of CPU. In particular, look to see if there's more than one (or maybe two) copies of slplugin.exe running at the same time. That plugin is supposed to cancel when you log out of SL, but it sometimes doesn't. If so, you could end up with extra copies in memory unnecessarily. Stopp all but one.
  5. Actually, all viewers have the Character Test option. Most people can solve a bake fail issue with simpler methods, though. Character Test is a nice one to have if nothing else works.
  6. You are asking mostly general questions about scripting, so the smartest thing to do is (1) spend some time with the tutorials at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Tutorial to get a basic understanding of LSL and some feel for basic scripting logic (2) find some freebie scripts that are sort of like what you are aiming for and take them apart. Modify them a little bit at a time until they fit your needs. There are MANY places in world that have collections of free or low-cost scripts. Just use your Search tool and go exploring. It's hard to give you any more specific advice without seeing the script you are writing. Once you have made some progress and have questions about it, though, please come back and post your script here. That's what this forum is for. :smileywink:
  7. That's a very common problem and it can have many diferent causes. What works for you may not be the same thing that works for someone else, or what works for you tomorrow. To see the full list of possible solutons, see http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_bake_fail Start at the top of the list with the easier things (CTRL + Alt + R, change your active group, change your hair base ... ) and move down the list to more complicated things until you find what works for you today. These solutions work for ANY viewer.
  8. I have always kept hidden files visible on any machine I have owned since the 1980s, too. I know the idea is to keep idiots from screwing around with files that might bork their entire system, but it's a real nuisance for most of us. It's Microsoft's version of LL's Basic viewer mode -- a system with training wheels.

Well, you're not removing everything, then. Your Preference settings are stored in two locations (for Local and Roaming settings). If you are still having trouble, I'd suggest posting your question in the in-world Phoenix/Firestorm users' support group. They always have support staff there who are better prepared to answer specific Phoenix questions than we are here.
  10. If you are still seeing your old personalized settings after you re-install any viewer, then you aren't doing a clean reinstall. The user settings are all in the APPDATA folders that used to be in Documents & Settings when you were using Windows XP. You have to remove those too, not just the viewer files that are in C:\Programs. To do a proper clean re-install for Phoenix, see >> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=clean_reinstall
  11. Yup. The exact wording is "As a premium member, you periodically get an exclusive virtual good as a benefit. The premium virtual goods are designed by Residents commissioned by Linden Lab. " When they put a label on one that says "September", that doesn't mean that the next one will have a label that says "October". "Periodically" means "occasionally" , as in "when we feel like it -- after all we're the ones handing out the gifts here."
  12. Open your Search tool in your viewer and type in the word SANDBOX. You'll get a huge list, so scroll down past the first 50 or so and you'll find one that is less busy that the popular ones at the top. When you visit one, read its conduct rules VERY carefully so that you understand what's allowed. The other thing you can do is join a group that owns land and will let you rez things there, often in a private sandbox. Don'tjoin a group just for that reason, but when you find a group you like, see if it's a perk that they offer.
  13. Even after you get the VFS problem sorted out, you may have trouble doing much in SL with that laptop. The Toshiba sattelite c660-1d7 is really designed primarily for light use. It uses an integrated graphics chip instead of a graphics card, and is not really up to the recommended standards for the sort of heavy-duty image rendering that SL requires. It also uses a rather slow ethernet connection, which will limit the speed at which your computer can communicate with SL's servers.
  14. Well, that's actually a cumbersome way to handle things. Reading a notecard is slow. There's a delay of 0.1 seconds every time your script reads a line. If your card has any length at all, that delay adds up, so you don't want to read the card more than once if you can get away with it. Unless it's a really long card, therefore, just save the lines in a global list that you can parrot back or search later when you need it. For example, if you stored every line as it was read into a list named gTextLines, you could spit them back in a touch_start event with touch_start(integer num){ llSay(0, llDumpList2String(gTextLines," \n ");}
  15. The simple answer is to take everything that's in the touch_start event now, put a line that says else if (channel == 678) before it, and move the entire block into the listen event, after the three lines that say llSetTexture(message, ALL_SIDES); } } To complete the exercise, add a state_entry event that says state_entry(){ llListen(678,"",llGetOwner(),"");} There are lots better ways to write a multipage menu system, though, as Ela says. Take a look at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Library/Dynamic-Multi-page-Dialog-AKA-Pagination/td-p/708119, for example.
  16. This seems to be a problem for Meeroo owners. We've seen it a few times before you. If you're a Premium member, connect with Live Chat and get their help recovering the items. If not, you may be able to get help from the merchant who sold them to you -- a redelivery, perhaps.
  17. The "required" download of the latest LL viewer is only required if you requested automatic updates. If you don't want to have future updates, just UNcheck that option in Preferences >> Setup. If you want to download and re-install a previous version of the LL viewer, go to http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:Release_Notes and select a link to that version, then choose the download link.
  18. It's easy enough to see what your name is. It looks to me as if it's Kaworu OHare. You cannot change your username. The name that you selected when you joined SL is linked permanently to your UUID. If you have a quesion about your account, however, you should either file a support ticket or call the LL billing office. .... 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 * Support is in English Only
  19. You're asking if you can IM when you are not in SL? No, you can't. Well, sort of ...... You can receive an IM that has been forwarded to your e-mail (if you set that option in Preferences), and you can reply by e-mail to one that someone has sent you. They will receive that e-mail in world as an IM. You can't start an IM conversation unless you are in SL, though.
  20. Do you mean that you bought a Linden Home, maybe? You should get an e-mail from them, telling you where to find it.
  21. Well, it's at least empty, if not actually closed. There's no merchandise listed in it. I'm not clear about your question, though. If you put your merchandise in a Magic Box and then synced the Magic Box with your Marketplace inventory, everything should be there. So what part of the process messed up? Check http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Selling-in-the-Marketplace/ta-p/700193 to be sure that you did everything properly. If you still have a quetion, come back here (Do NOT start a new thread) and click the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT to tell us more.
  22. The garlic necklace itself is just decoration. All that it does is put your name in a database of people who cannot be bitten by vampires. To reverse its effect (in case you'd really like to be bitten by a vampire after all :smileytongue:), just follow the instructions that come with it: " All changes that are made by this necklace can be reversed if you wore the necklace again and select Deactivate according to the creator's instructions". You can then delete the necklace from your inventory.
  23. That is not a message from LL. That's coming from your own computer. Basically, it is telling you that you have been asking it to do too many things and its memory is getting overloaded. I suspect that the message will go away if you reboot your computer and then don't try to do quite so many things at once when you start up again. (It also may be that some program that you are running has a memory leak that causes it to use more and more memory over time.)
  24. Have you tried using a different browser? Do you have JavaScript enabled in your browser?
