    How do off sim islands work?

    in Land

    Posted

    "The visible area outside a sim boundry is called Void, and is visible  only, not actual simulated space. No object can actually move past the  region boundry and into the void space. However, parts of an object  (linkset) can."

    The above is true perhaps for private estate sims - but even some of those are surrounded by ocean sims with navigatable water.  Many mainland sims are ocean front (they border open water sims with navigatable water).  I think its a little misleading to say areas outside a sim boundary are Voids (I envision poor noobs afraid to cross sim boundaries for fear of falling into Voids!).

    Make sure your drivers are current for your graphics card... I got effects like this and worse when my graphics card started to go so I eventually had to replace it and it works fine now.  Try the other steps first before taking "drastic measures"

    Hi Drake,

    You can abandon your land by clicking on the about land tab and then find the "abandon land" check box.  Tier on a mainland 512 will be free however you will still have only 117 prims and this time it won't include a house.  You can "tier up" and get a larger parcel which will give you more prims.  Keep in mind that the tier levels shown here do not include the 512 that is free so in reality the next tier level up would give you a 1024 with twice the prims of a 512 for just $5.00 per month.  Here is a link to the tier level information.

    Alternatively you can rent land on private estates but be very careful to read the land covenants and get recommendations for respected, reliable landlords.

    You will only be able to transfer those items that are transferable (i feel silly every time i type that because its so redundant).  When it comes to items like furniture, plants or other items that you rez in world (versus items you might wear) you can rez those on the land where the new av will live and leave them there, make sure you give permissions to both avatars to modify/edit the other one's objects.

    As far as I know there is no HUD that will tell you where an avatar is if they are not in the same region (sim) as you are. However, there are scripted objects that can do that and more if the avatar is wearing them.  For instance lets say your friend was given a piece of jewelry (or even a pair of shoes) by the stalker (or an alt of the stalker).  If she is wearing the item and the item is scripted the stalker could not only know where she is but sho she is with and can also listen in on her chat and the chat of others around her.  It happened to a friend of mine.

    Is your friend's landlord the stalker?  If so then he may be monitoring what avs are on the land (there are also script huds that can monitor online status of any avatar) and its easy to infer that when av#1 logs off and av#2 logs in shortly after that they are probably related as the other reply said there are subtle clues in the way an av types, interacts, what they wear etc that would also give it away.

    Your friend should move away from their parcel, the alt should have its own little rental away from the main's home.  Also the alt should have a different circle of friends, places to shop and hang out - otherwise this person will assume that any new av in your circle of friends is actually your alt.  Your friend should also mute this stalker, ban them from their (new) home and ignore any attempts the stalker makes to contact her or her alts.

    Have you tried this?

    USING THE PREVIEW GRID TO RECOVER LOST INVENTORY

    If you realize that you have missing inventory, you can try this tip.  Follow the steps below as soon as possible:

    1. Login to the Preview Grid and find a quiet place where no one will annoy you while you are trying to solve a problem.
      Steps to login to the Preview Grid: 
      • Open Second Life client, but do not log in.
      • At the login window, press Control-Shift-G to bring up the "grid selector" box. Should show 'agni'.
      • Select "Aditi" from the drop-down box.
      • The menu-bar should turn Red, and the background image will change.
      DO NOT REZ ANYTHING WHILE ON THE PREVIEW GRID. GO INTO BUSY MODE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT ACCEPT ITEMS, DO NOT DELETE ITEMS, DO NOT PASS OR RENAME ITEMS.
    2. Open your inventory, type in a search term and allow your inventory to populate.
    3. Got your goods back? Awesome! Quit the viewer, login to the Main Grid (change the grid name in the login window back to Agni) and do the same thing. Once you have retrieved your items on the Main Grid and your inventory has fully populated, logout and cache your inventory.
    4. Log back into the Main Grid, recheck inventory. You should find everything has returned to normal. Enjoy your Second Life!

    This technique has been proven to work more than half the time so it may save your hide. Please bear in mind that you should only expect positive results if you attempt this workaround as soon as possible upon discovery of your missing items. This is NOT a guarantee that you will be able to recover your items but having at least a chance at doing so is much better than no chance at all. I hope this helps some of the Residents that fall victim to this issue.

    laughs... oki yes, you have to really like her ass to be able to bring it off with sincerity or - really care about her enuf not to hurt her feelings if she is feeling good about herself... or suggest another skirt/outfit that truly is flattering without telling her why... i know we are complicated... but NOT that complicated, smiles

    For best results play with all those settings (saddlebags, hip width and butt size) around the hips/butt until you are happy with the look (when i finally learned this trick it saved half my inventory of system skirts i thought were unwearable - and there was one gown I deleted that I will never be able to get back ).

    Spread the word - there are far too many women that haven't heard about the "system skirt shape" trick!

    Hi Ellaa,

    Try using the cool viewer, i think the version is called the "legacy"  I use that on my old laptop and it works oki - i can't stay on sl for very long even with that viewer.  If you are able to log on turn all your graphics settings to the lowest possible settings.  You might also want to look into a text based viewer if you just want to be able to talk to friends.

    Unfortunately with each new viewer LL seems to be making things more and more difficult for those of us with older, non-gaming machines.  So the best advice is to save your pennies for a new computer if you really want to enjoy all that SL has to offer.

    Here's a link to LL's list of 3rd party viewers - you will see the link to the Cool Viewer there.

    good luck
