[Profile picks]

You can't change the TP destination on Picks I think. All you could do is remove the pick and re-add the pick. If you just want the pick to provide some generic info, go to one of the public Linden sims and create the pick there. I set my picks generic to secondlife:///app/worldmap/Rosedale/92.535/107.401/61.3143

Hey, that _is_ exercise

No more couch potatoes :)

...instead need to convert the biggest room in the house to a huge VR room!

[Land Impact frustration]

I'd split it into smaller meshes: The railings are repeats of each other anyway. Roof part another. Upload them separately. For the railing parts you can get away with simple box physics, for the roof part you could possibly too, or a pyramid even.

Beyond that... yes, use distant impostors for the lower LODs (textures with the ironwork on a flat surface). IMO it should only have this model on highest LOD, everything below almost HAS to be an impostor.

Depending on size, the LI for this might end up still relatively high. But well below 50, IMO.

[Why have you removed the 'Most Recent' list of posts summary from the People Forum?]

I think it's still there, they just didn't make it the landing page anymore. On the right side, a little down is a "Recently Created" section, which gives you the option to view recent new posts or recent new threads.

For the record: I think the change sucks.

[Where can I test voice in sl?]

Just adding to jjccc's excellent suggestion, here's the LM:

[Voice OK in local but bad quality in private calls?]

Me and my partner seem to have a very strange issue. Voice in local is fine - no issues, good quality etc.pp.

As soon as we go to private call (with each other or with someone else) voice changes to something that sounds vaguely like low bitrate audio or maybe CB radio.

To make matters even more strange, we're not on the same network, not on the same ISP, don't use the same OS nor the same viewer.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

My system: KUbuntu 15.04, PulseAudio, Kokua 3.7.24, Comcast (from 3 different connections and PCs)

My partners system: Windows 7 on an MSI laptop, Firestorm (latest, don't know what version that is), Time Warner Cable

[Mesh and PRIM_TEMP_ON_REZ]

Since there are already limits in place for the amount of temp-rezzable items... I fail to see where Mesh could be any more damaging than Prim. I've noticed that Mesh didn't get counted as temp when it got first introduced but I shrugged it off as a bug.

I'd still say it's a bug, for the exact reason Innula described. I mean, if necessary just introduce a throttle for the LI rezzable in a given amount of time.

[Sound on (K)ubuntu 15.04 64bit with SL Viewer 3.8.x]

Hi

just a quick Q, realizing that Linux is no longer supported by LL...

To get sound working in the SL viewer I recently had to disable the bundled OpenAL and have the viewer use the system OpenAL instead, by doing this (could probably just have linked to the system lib directly, who knows):

# From within the Second Life viewers "lib" directory
cp /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1* ./
rm libopenal.so.1
ln -s libopenal.so.1.15.1 libopenal.so.1

That got general sound going, but not voice. Any idea where to look to get voice going too?

Coincidentally sound and voice work fine with the TPV I'm currently using, regardless whether I use their 32bit or 64bit version. I just need it to work with the original viewer too.

 

Thanks
Jenni

[I think I'm done with Mainland]

Oversubscribing is a fact of business life. Everyone does it, most notably ISPs and Airlines. Usually it isn't a problem - except when it suddenly is ~g~.

[I think I'm done with Mainland]

Actually you can AR for unfair use of region ressources... I've done it in the past and the breedables were gone in no time at all.

[wo finde ich guenstig einen privaten Raum]

Premium wuerd ich auch empfehlen, aber nur unter folgenden Umstaenden:

* Premium auf Jahresbasis ($72/Jahr), wovon man L$300/woche "Taschengeld" von LL bekommt

* Du willst entweder irgendwann eigenes Land oder bist mit einem Linden Home zufrieden

Die Rechnung ist dann naemlich wie folgt:

Ausgabe: US$72/Jahr

Einnahme vom Taschengeld: L$300/Woche x 52 Wochen/Jahr = L$15600/Jahr, das sind ca. US$63 wenn man die per LindeX kauft, oder rund US$58 wenn du's wieder in US$ zuruecktauschst.

Anders gesagt bezahlst du pro Jahr damit nur gerundet US$10 pro Jahr und bekommst noch ein Zuhause kostenlos dazu. Wenn du z.B. Land von irgendeinem Vermieter in SL anmietest bezahlst du aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach mehr pro Jahr. Lohnt sich also eigentlich selbst dann wenn die restlichen "Premium Perks" wie z.B. Zugang zu besserem Support uninteressant fuer dich sind.

[Whats the current status on Group Speech in SL]

Always worked for me when teaching, and seems to work well even at large discussion events. No idea about group chat though... the largest I've ever tried it was smaller than the largest discussion (about 60 people there).

[N/A]

Detach the oreo.

[RLV]

RLV is a viewer modification that's only available in third-party viewers. It allows scripts to modify the viewer behavior and impose certain restrictions on the user. To control it, one needs to wear an item that can take advantage of the modified viewer.

Collars have a relay in them which essentially allows other users (e.g. a Domme/Dom/Master/whatever) and/or objects to control the viewer. While it has uses beyond the kinky folks, it's pretty much made by and for kinky folks.

Depending on the relay in use you may be able to query for its presence. Depends on the privacy settings... though I believe many (most?) relays at least respond to a version query. Check MP, there are scanners available for that purpose.

[In client browser question...]

i personally think moap could be useful - IF LL implemented a simple permission system similar to those used by some tpv's. i see no chance of that happening.

[Change walking speed]

probably intercepts the movement key and uses llmovetotarget to move the avi via script... that seems to be the more common method

[Looking for a sailboat but I don't know where to start.]

A note on ReneMarine: They're VERY script heavy, unlike the other choices suggested so far. That can quickly become an issue if you sail with friends (and definitely if you cross sim corners). Before you buy a boat, check how many scripts it has. Less=better. Same goes for your avi when you go sail of course. On the other hand, the ReneMarine boats also pretty.

My faves so far:

MLCC: Oceanic when I just want some lazy sailing. No HUD required (and none provided).

Trudeau: Francois Jacques or New York 30 for some classic yachting, while still easy to handle. Kinda requires a HUD.

The Mesh Shop: Bandit 60 - a bit more of a handful for sailing, but still fun. No HUD required (none provided). Has an "autotrim" mode which makes sailing quite painfree if desired.

ReneMarine: Skipjack Katarina when I want to go for looks, or Pride of Baltimore for a bit of a challenge. They require a HUD.

[How to prevent camera indoors going through walls?]

You disabled camera constraints. The effect of doing so is that the camera goes through walls.

[Post-Apocalyptic Virtual World]

Troll indeed. If that's all they see in SL, they've either not ever even used it, nor tried to find out what can be done in SL. I'm not a fan of LL, nor really a huge fan of SL - if it'd be gone tomorrow I wouldn't shed a tear. That being said, in SL I've never stood around anywhere, don't like dancing in SL, never even visited any prostitution sim or had virtual sex or even virtual kink (which I and also law do not consider prostitution btw), not done terribly much RP.

Seriously, if people think that's all SL is they've never used SL to begin with. Spent one day in SL and thinks what one user tells them is gospel? Pffft.

[How do I place my profile or my group into a notecard?]

Profile into NC: Drag your calling card onto the NC. If you don't have it, ask anyone on your friends list to give you a copy of your calling card.

Groups... not sure offhand if putting the group SLURL automatically creates a clickable link, feel free to try I guess.

[Is this laptop good for SL?]

I have the previous gen ROG as well, and it's a beast. It does run SL on ultra just fine. If I may make a suggestion though? If it's within your budget, grab a SSD along with it and run Windows+Apps off it. It does make a big difference. I'd keep the 1TB drive in there as data storage.

That laptop has two drive bays. Installing an additional drive is pretty easy, there's even some guides on Youtube about it if you need/want them.

One caveat: It's heavy. And huge. You'll need to shop around for a bag that fits this huge thing. Because it's far thicker than most laptops, the bag needs to fit a 16" or 17" laptop.

[I'm looking for a script to teleport by passing through a gate un]

Doing so is currently not quite possible in the same way it's done on Linden sims. It requires either the "Experience Permission" system which has not yet been released (I wouldn't wait for it either) or a RLV enabled viewer with a working relay or a special HUD to be worn that then executes the teleport via llTeleportAgent or its derivative.

[A bold idea]

Not all planes are made equal. I have no problem flying all over SL, or sailing for that matter. Some planes are just horribly scripted with 10+ scripts in them, others do the same and more with less than a handful of scripts.

How many scripted items you have on you also affects how well you can cross sims - with or without vehicles. As a general rule of thumb I try to keep it below 10 when using vehicles, though lately thanks to collar (OpenCollar scripts are awful in more ways than one) I am at ~30, and it makes a noticeable difference when crossing sim borders.
