  1. Am using Blender 2.67.  

    I have looked at the bounding boxes and while they both share the same dimensions the physics shape's bounding box is offset to various amounts on all three axis by roughly 50% on z, 10% on x and 1% on y.  Given what you said though I think I know how to fix this.  

    The bottom of my house/build below the actual 1st floor is empty and I didn't bother to fill it in the physics shape reasoning that it would be inaccessible in the final build and was only there to allow the house to be sunk into the land to align to any given landscape.  I will fill in the bottom of the physics shape now and test it.

     

    Thanks for the reply Alisha

  2. I'm building my first mesh house and have been happily following tips and tutorials to do it and solve problems along the way.  I have though run into a problem that I can't readily find an answer to.  I made a physics shape inworld by cladding the build in non-overlapping planes using the Celzium tool and exporting it out as a dae file.

    When I first uploaded the model onto the beta grid the physics shape was offset by .5m on the y axis.  A little quick research suggested that it was because I wasn't importing the model as a single object.  So I made the model all one object and uploaded it again.  The .5m on the y axis did indeed disappear, but now I have a +.5m offset on the z axis and I'm at a loss as to what the problem maybe.

    Gah...I think I figured this out, but now I feel like I need to go back to school. /shakes fist at Mr. Beck!

    Yeah bad me, no big words as requested, just letters and an incompatible Tineye search, somebody will get it, but not the dumbass...and they know (or do they) that we know who they are.

    I wasn't asking about sex, thank you very much.

    I am asking about child slavery and BDSM...as in most countries this is highly illegal.

    To answer this question,

     

    1. In all likelihood it was not a child, but an adult using a child avatar so there most probably is no child involved.
    2. You cannot be a slave in SL.  You cannot forcefully enslave anyone in SL without their permission.
    3. BDSM is not illegal between consenting adults in the U.S.A.  the host country of SL's servers.  Please refer to your own country's statutes on whether you are allowed to participate or observe such acts though.
  6. If we want to play semantics can somebody define BDSM furniture?  The OP states nothing more than that the child AV was being, "... tied up in BDSM furniture."  This, from my limited knowledge (honestly), could be a chair, a St Andrew's Cross or any rough flat table I presume.  All of which in themselves are not sexual objects unless there are some particularly weird fetishes out there.

    Therefore, we would have to know the name of the piece furniture in question and know for a fact, by observation or admission by those present at the time, what kind of scripts it contained.  Otherwise it could just as easily be specualted that it was RP involving a child AV tied to a chair, however unsavoury that maybe to the overwhelming majority of us.

    I would advise that if your conscience is that troubled then report it, but don't be surprised if nothing happens due to the few facts that you've supplied.

  7. Same as above, it's been happening to me over the past week and probably is the same recurring glitch that's happened before and will shortly resolve itself again too.

    I wish this bug would at least occur once with those who have chosen to show themselves as offline all of a sudden popping up as online.  Now that would be popcorn drama.

    Dear OP, I feel for you.  When I am faced with these difficult decisions I drink.  Try a (few) Makers Mark Manhattan(s) and I guarantee you will feel much better.  I always do.

     

    A "few"?  He's been drinking for three in recent years I think we can let loose the reins with this one, especially so seeing as he prefers doubles.

    What have you built?

    Lots of stuff in my time and I mean actually built by myself and you are quite welcome to come to my sim in InWorldz when I've finished it as that's where I build nowadays; cheaper and more prims.  Not that that has anything to do with the matter as mine and other's opinions are just as valid even if they or I didn't even know how to rez a prim.  We were arguing with the OP's assertion that this place was the best built sim in SL, which we know from our travels and experience that it patently is not.  

    Buying other creators items and rezzing them out is not building and 90% of what I saw was other creators/builders items arranged out across the sim.  If you think it's building then give Lillith Heart the credit for building the majority of the sim.  Even when it was somebody else's custom made paving it wasn't even aligned properly in places!  The few structures/houses that I saw actually built by the sim creator were unexceptional houses similar to almost any hunting lodge themed house you can see in SL, but even then they had incorporated full perm sculpties into it, which were not even textured or had a basic texture thrown on them showing bad seams and pinching all over them.  I spent 20 minutes there looking around quickly and have posted below pics of some of the most obvious contradictory evidence to the OP's statement.

    Overall it's not a badly designed sim, but it is NOT as the OP asserts the best built sim and there is nothing there that is a must see.  Nobody here wishes the sim owner/creator any ill will, but stating such a blatant lie and trying to promote that sim as the best built in SL as the OP did is at best uninformed, unexperienced hyperbole and at worse deceitful spam and promotion.

    Hitomi Tiponi said in other forum that linden are going to announce the The Next Big Thing soon

    linden had a big inworld meeting the other day

    Damien Fate who has been involved in newbie welcome/orientation islands in the past, made a comment a while ago about the current newbie welcome islands that he helped make. he said then that while he couldnt say there was a Big Thing coming

    Tateru Nino on her blog has also just recently mentioned a Big Thing she is involved with. she cant say either

    earlier this year linden put a vid up on utube about Experience Permissions showcasing them. Temp Attachments in particular. is pretty cool how it works in the vid

    is this the Next Big Thing?

    new welcome orientation islands that are fullon experience permissions immersions with proper learning stuffs and tuts?

    i hope so

    dont know for real. am just guessing

    The Next Big Thing = Marketplace working perfectly for 24 hrs.

    Weird how when super stars die. They die in 3s

    Witney

    Donna Summer

    Robin Gibb

     

    One dies . 2 others follow

     

    Sorry to hear he lost his bout with Cancer.

     

    Do they?  What timescales are you operating to or what's your definition of a superstar?  For instance, Chuck Brown, Donald Duck Dunn, Adam Yauch, Tommy Marth, Levon Helm and Davy Jones have all died after Whitney and before Donna Summer.

    These days .. when a director disassociates from a movie prior to release credits go to Ed Wood.

    He musta done something right ... so infamous he became famous as a creditable feature.

    Isn't that Alan Smithee?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Smithee

    No, Second Life doesn't need to be "governed."
    Yes it does
    No it dont

    The human spirit cries out for freedom.
    And laws to protect that freedom
    Laws arent necessary, they're authoritarian impositions on freedom

    Real Life is already far to regulated & unfree
    Maybe, depends on perspective, time and place
    Perspective, time & place dont matter .. RL has been far too regulated & unfree @ least since the dawn of agriculture

    We go into SL in order to exercise complete freedom.
    An over exaggeration as you signed a ToS to do so.
    So? I do what I feel like in SL .. usually what I do conforms to the ToS but I dont really care if it does or not. LL can ban me if they want. I dont really care

    There is no "crime" in SL
    Yes there is.
    No there isnt.

     ...there is nothing to steal or vandalize
    Yes there is
    No there isnt

    Anyone can Role Play being a cop or dom or master or whatever .. & everyone else can simply ignore such control freaks.  
    Yay a true fact!
    No, its an opinion. You have trubble distinguishing fact from opinion, dont you?

    Jeanne


    No.

    You have problems distinguishing human nature from an idealised text book fantasy.  You talk a game, but you're like everybody else here, you obey all the rules everyday because for the most part you enjoy the protection and rewards from them and the protection it affords you from people who really "don't obey rules" and also because you're too chicken s h i t and/or lazy to do anything about it.  You're part of the system now and every day you readily partake in it, enjoying all the benefits it gives you while looking down with faux pity on those who do the same as you.  

    You're not a rebel, in reality you quietly acquiesced long ago to the point now where the only revolution left in you is a daily foray onto a tucked away internet forum to assert irrational and hypocritical thinking.  What once may have been an idealist rebel is now only capable of non-sensical trolling.  It is though amusing to read, like getting to the comic strips in the newspapers after all the adults have told us the important stuff and we need to laugh at the absurd.

     

    P.S. I really must stop quoting you, the spellchecker took nearly 5 minutes to go through your post.

    P.P.S. Don't expect a reply, I'm off out to spend some of my hard earned bucks oppressing a chef to cook for me for financial reward.  Who do you think is need of less oppression, the Italians or the Chinese?  It's the Chinese isn't it?  Italian it is then, yum yum!

    P.P.P.S To the OP I'll be in Prezzo's at 6.30 if you want a head to head interview :smileywink:

    I'll 'fess up and admit it's all to do with the Annunaki who will shortly return aboard planet Nibiru.  Who on Dec 21st will reveal themselves as the genetic creators of all life on Earth, charge up the pyramids, show us zero point energy uses for our digital watches, crown David Icke as the Lizard King ruler of Earth and install the Illuminati as his counsel of advisors and the 11 secret herbs and spices in a KFC will be given unto all of us.

    Happy now?

     

    All this is verified by You Tube videos...so there.

    OK so for 4 billion years it has been inactive, agree?

    In that case the surface rocks scatted about can't be moon rocks can they, most of the rocks on its surface must be from somewhere else, as it is covered in impact sites it would seem that its has been scattered in rocks from all over, so implies how do you tell a moon rock from something that landed there, this fact is ignored so make one think that they know the so called moon samples are in fact earth samples and they don't have any sample of rock from the moon, because they cant go there and drill under the crust that is covered in rock from elsewhere they will never know.

    Quite the opposite in fact.  Meteorites hit the moon's surface and depending on speed and density will more than likely bury themselves into the surface causing an eruption and shattering of surface and sub-surface material upwards and outwards or the meteorite will dissolve to dust on impact.
