  1. I agree with the RP problems ... if a person with a child avatar isn't going to act in-period or in-culture thry don't need to be on the sim. On the good side: I was on an 1880s Western sim that had several child avatars doing totally acceptable RP activity, like hanging around the livery stable watching the blacksmith, helping out in the general store, etc. and they said Yes Ma'am and No Ma'am like respectful youngsters should. On the bad side: that stupid babytalk carried into chat! And the overall brattiness of some of them.
  2. You'll have to try the "divide and conquer" method. By testing half of the problem text every time you can arrive at the problem bit quickly. 1 - Upload HALF the description ... is it accepted? 2 - IF YES: The problem is in the other half. Upload half of the remaining text and test again. 3 - IF NO: the problem is in what you uploaded. Delete half and try again. ... is it accepted? Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have zeroed in on the problem wording.

Every now and again I get some organization, but then it ends up cluttered again when I am creating. How do you stay organized and keep it all in some sort of organized way? Creating can be a messy process. :smileysurprised: so I try to use position cues and good folder names. I have one folder called "Working" ... under it are folders for each current creation project, with the shaped bits and the uploaded textures and stuff. For example, If I'm making a bikini with mesh sarong, I make a folder called /Working/bikini and copy all the parts into the /Working/bikini directory, along with the textures I plan to use. This matches a folder set on my PC, with notes and textures and templates for the products. If it's something for a hunt, it's /Working/huntname_year or whatever, with each prize having it's own directory. /Working/POE2013/male_tshirt or whatever. ============ Each hunt creation folder has a folder called "DONE" with subfolders for each prize ... I can tell immediately how many prizes I have finished. When I pack it for a hunt prize, I work only from the DONE folder. ========== After something is built and tested and I like it, I take the product pics, list it on the Marketplace, load it into the correct vendor, or whatever needs doing. I know the product pics have been taken because they always go in a directory on my PC called "SL/Pics/2List" ... meaning that the product in that pictuire neeeds to be listed. After it's been listed, I move the picture to SL/Pics/Listed where it stays unhless I need to redo a listing. Then I move the finished, listed product to a folder called 4SALE .... where each product goes into an appropriate directory 4SALE/textures/nameoftextureset 4SALE/apparel/lab gloves If there's something I might want to use again, it goes into the folder for that sort of product part ... mesh or sculpted clothing and furniture parts, special textures, so I can find it again. Then I DELETE the product's working folder with all the mistakes and false starts.
  4. Look at your parcels settings, in the "About Land" tab. I think there is a checkbox for "Let others set home point" that you can check that will allow her (and anyone else) set your parcel as "home". If you want to make sure they land on the doorstep and not in your bedroom ... go to the spot you want them to land and select the "Force landing point to here" choice. WARNING: I'm writing this with out having SL running to check ... but I remember doing this for my own parcels.

It's not English. Basically, if you can't find the transaction, and she can't find the transaction number ... there was no transaction. I don't think it's a deliberate scam as much as it is an occasional player who can't remember what he/she's doing from log-in to log-in. Maybe someone who logs in with an alt and doesn't remember which account actually bought the stuff. Maybe they have been playing while chemically enhanced?

They are either too bright, ugly or not quite the style I am looking for. Can I pretty please get some help. Thank you darlings. If the shoes are modifiable, can you add a grey, greenish or brownish tint to them?

Even if its just free for about 2 or 3 weeks that would be great just so I could get a feel of the traffic for my business and if its worth paying for in the long run. If anyone knows of anything like that please post, thanks guys! 2 or 3 weeks is NOT long enough to get a feel for anything. And exp-ecting to get freebies when someone else has spent a lot of time building up the traffic is sort of parasitical. Start by putting your products on the Marketplace - for free. See what happens.
  9. Totally strange ... I had an "unassociated" listing, but the marketplace listing is stiill there.

The only thing I can think is that it's come with all the changes to SL recently, and the older builds just can't cope? I periodically have one or more permissions change on a product. It's been happening as long as I've been playing SL. I just thank whoever tells me and change it back and refresh the marketplace item.

Reviews are allowed. I simply put a comment on the review and went on to start my day, knowing the review itself didn't make sense given the product and clear product description. This person then IM'd me in the morning (my time) demanding money to remove the review. I said that the review would stand along with my comment. This person then deleted the review and wrote a new one. Someone else that I don't know, posted a comment on her review. She has subsequently deleted that review and posted a new one. I suppose that she can keep deleting and posting reviews that are intended to harass with no recourse? Retrieve your chat logs and file an AR: that is extortion and they cxan lose their account.
  12. snippets of conversation that sugest that tempory uploading of textures is no longer possible where SSA has already been enabled. Is this true? Yes ... BUT don't panic. You can get the same effect with the "Use Local Fexture". That avoids the temp uploading and uses a texture off your hard drive. Less load oin Linden servers, and you can edit that texture and see the changes faster.
  13. Have you rezzed and lost anything, especially jewelry? Go into "debug" mode and turn off the surface patches, water, and terrain ... look underground for lost objects. Check any mesh items you rezzed for their "impact" ... a badly made mesh can equal a lot of prims. And in "About Land" you can see how many prims are yours and how many belong to others, with an option to return them to owner.if you see an owner you don';t recoignize, rewturn their prims. I have auto-return set on my parcel for 5 minutes ... people can rez things, but they don't stick around. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Managing-your-parcel/ta-p/700113#Section_.4 might help
  14. bonappe wrote: Thnx for help, Nefertiti Nefarious. Where can i find cloth texture, maybe satin or any other nice cloth textures to make a clothes. I found only some bagging texture. On the marketplace there are a lot of them. ou can work with just a plain color layer until you get the hang of the shading, then use the shading on different fabrics. You have to decide what kind of silk you want: tight plain weave or the looser Shantung with irregular threads. Or, go to my parcel (look me up in-world) and check the textures in my shop. There's a vendor with eyelet lace that has a solid, plain weave that you can play with. It's full-perms and 5L if you buy the single texture.
  15. Maybe someone knows other ways to make this effect? Advices, tutorials. And textures. Where can I get this kind of textures? That effect is a two-step process. First, you need a cloth texture that has the silk looking weave in it to make the pants and tops. Then you have to add the shiny texture shadows and highlights, by hand, on the clothing before you upload it. This is usually done with "layers" in your graphics program. I use the GIMP (www.gimp.org) It's not difficult, it just takes patience and a lot of testing with temporary uploads until you figure it out.
  16. My sales have actually been better than "my norm" the last couple of weeks. I do sell small household items so perhaps what another poster said has some bearing ie. certain items are not as seasonal as others. Or something.
  17. Nefertiti Nefarious wrote: Interesting ... I'm missing a few, but why am I seeing transactions for less than the listed price? Need to doublecheck pricing, I guess. Transactions for less than the listed price = multiple purchases of the same no-commission item on the same order triggers a commission. And the script isn't written to pick it up. Which leaves me with 6 that seem to be missing payments: The missing ones were all in an order of multiple products from at least one other merchant, FWIW.
  18. Missing payments are one thing ... reduced-price transactions are baffling me. Are you now charging commission on $9L sales?

  20. It's a 2-step process to prevent accidentally deleting inventory. Yes, it's a tedious PITA, but that's the way it works. I have not found a way to bulk delete. Set a goal of deleting a small number every day and it will eventually get done.
  21. Yes ... that link. People will search the marketplace: make your titles really clear and descriptiver. Make your pictures clear, well-lit and from several angle. Include a texture map, if appropriate, so I can see where the surfaces fall on your item and make my life easier as a texture creator.
  22. I have a script in a "ghost" that slowly fades in and out ... if you were to substitute the parameter for light distance or brightness for transparency it might work. Buy her - she's free - and mod the script. I think iot's modifiable. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FREE-Funeral-Bronze-Hooded-Woman-with-Urn-GHOST/293500
