  1. llRegionSayTo only works within the current region
  2. Well, it's usually wise to test your creations to be sure that they will look right on each of the common viewers. If there's any possibility that whatever you are creating might look different for some customers, it's nice to find that out before you go public. Not really an answer, but .....
  3. That's true, although I do keep my draw distance at 128m, so I'm not asking my graphics card to look for things more than half a region away. (Most of the time I'm really only looking at things within chat distance, actually, so I don't see things that break down beyond even that distance.) For me, setting LOD at 2.0 seems to be fine. If someone else wants to build with garbage that does break down for me, I figure that's their loss. I make a note not to come back.
  4. Apparently not. I don't use FB myself, but I just talked to a good friend who is having exactly the same problem. It looks like a FB issue. Forget the paranoia. Go make a cup of tea.
  5. That's where mine always is too. I avoid buying anything without being able to see it -- either in an in-world shop or as a demo.
  6. Górecki: String Quartet No. 1, Op. 62
  7. Drat! Not in North America. But this one works:
  8. You'll find a bucketload of scripts that do that once you start looking, and they are not hard to write, either. It's pretty basic functionality. Some are better than others, I'm sure, but I'd be very surprised if any one you find doesn't work for you. If you want to spring for one of the most versatile systems, look at AvSitter. It's a bit heavy if all you want to handle are simple sit anims, but it has enough flexibility to let you to deal with situations you may not have even thought of yet.
  9. @Ina Fairport I had several Swingle Singers LPs, all of which disappeared mysteriously years ago. I suspect my sister. If that's so, at least they went to a good home. Swingle Singers crossed genre boundaries beautifully. Thank you.
  10. I'm not sure that it would accomplish much more than submitting a single AR. In fact, if people had a button like that, they would probably just end up spamming LL's Governance team with identical reports. That could slow down their response time and make things even worse. When a really annoying spammer does something like that, there are likely to be loads of ARs in the queue already. Really frustrating.
  11. was adopted as what was meant to be the wiki standard a dozen years or so in the past. I can't remember who did that and can't see that it has been adopted wholeheartedly. It's a logical suggestion, though, since it's not necessarily obvious to a new LSL scripter that channel 0 is the public channel -- or what that means. Using it in the wiki might make an occasional newbie say "Oh! I didn't know there was anything special about 0." Anyway, it's a nice example of why even simple wiki editing can be tricky.
  12. I think you're right to be cautious. Wiki editing can be tricky. We've had some trouble in the past with a couple of people who made changes that I'm sure were honest attempts at improvement but had to be reverted later. As Qie says, please don't edit any of Void's examples. Yes, they can be opaque at times but they are marvels of coding. They are not beginner-level examples but they are great for those who want to explore a compact scripting style. Perhaps the safest way to make the wiki examples more useful would be to add judicious comment lines where they seem helpful. Unless you already have editing privileges, you'll find that you have to ask LL to grant them to you before you'll be able to change anything. I think they tightened up on that three or four years ago when the last incident of peculiar editing took place.
  13. As Zalificent says, your dryer is a compact Tardis, capable of sending random small things like socks forward in time. This is why a "lost" sock may suddenly reappear a week later, smug as if nothing had happened. It's just spent a little free time in another dimension.
  14. Although you can't use touch as a solution, you might be able to redesign the hunt a bit by using a cast ray instead. llCastRay can return the name and UUID of whatever it hits, and it has the advantage that you can limit its range. That way, you can prevent people from standing off at a distance, camming to find hunt objects, and clicking them from half a region away. The disadvantage, of course, is that your hunters would have to be in mouselook.
  15. Thanks to the magic of teleportation, most people don't need to know what Agni looks like. You can't fly or sail to most private estates, so it doesn't really matter where they sit on the grid. In fact, LL can move regions around any time they want to clear space for something big (like Bellisseria). Your previous home might not even still be where you left it. In a way, RL is becoming more like this as time goes on too. Our RL magic of airplane travel and mass communication means that we can visit or view far flung places without ever knowing how we got there. It's no wonder that plenty of people can't even find states in the U.S. on the map, much less countries like Bolivia and Burma. We don't look at maps as much any more; we just go.
  16. Yes indeed. Agni is the Hindu god of fire. It's been used as the formal name for the main grid since the early days of SL, just as Aditi (the Hindu goddess of motherhood, consciousness, unconsciousness, the past, the future, and fertility) has been the formal name for the Beta, or test grid. Neither of the formal names is used very often these days. Most residents aren't even aware that there are two grids, much less that they have formal names. Still, that's what they are.
  17. Yeah, I'm pretty much the same personally. I don't mind being old and my parents have been gone for ages. I have a friend in her 60s who just buried her 93-year-old mother on Friday, though, so I know she lived with worries about her mom's age for quite a while. I would never joke with her about age because it was just too much on her mind all the time.
  18. Perhaps the lesson is to read the house better. When much of the audience is middle-aged (or older), it's probably best to go light on jokes about things that they worry most about -- like getting older and getting cancer.
  19. In your dashboard at secondlife.com, look for Account >>> Transaction History. If you have a Basic membership, you can see a record of every transaction you have made in the past month. If you're Premium, the record goes back a little farther. You can't get older records, but at least you'll be able to see how much you have sent recently.
  20. To check my memory, I poked around and found that there is a document in the JIRA dated September 20, 2007 that apparently contains the documentation for Vivox - SL Voice. That fits my recollection that Voice became available within months after I joined in early 2007. I'm sure there are other historical trails to follow, but that's the best I've found so far. My guess is that Torley's tutorial video was probably put together over the following months.
  21. I don't have premium music. I just grab the URL from my browser's header.
