    Why do you use a third-party viewer?

    in Second Life Viewer

    Posted

    I use Phoenix to build as it offers more functionality. Time is money for me when building in SL and Phoenix is a much more efficient building tool compared to v2 and marginally better than any other v1.x  viewer I've used.

    I use V2 for all non building related activities, lots of my customers use V2 so I need to know it inside out to support them.

    "LL promising better protection for content creators"

    Hmm, not sure faster take downs are an adequate response. Firstly people can just counter file which result in LL washing their hands of the issue. Secondly, so much of the content is ripped and taken to 3rd party grids. If LL are going to get serious about protecting our IP rights then I think something more drastic needs to be done rather than just speeding up an already flawed DMCA process.

    I thought it was really cool when TRU added the search kiosks in the centre of their store, it meant you could search through tens of thousands of textures from one spot. Then they set up the website which made searching even faster, you could find a texture pack on the website then get a direct SLURL to the relevant texture pack in-world. 

    2 great solutions to combat the lag that is generally present in any large texture store.

    Building Shortcuts

    in Building and Texturing Forum

    Posted

     I assume you mean keyboard shortcuts so I will paste some in that I found in a notecard today whilst cleaning my inv.

    B = Build Mode

    Ctrl+1  = Focus

    Ctrl+2  = Move

    Ctrl+3 - Edit

    Ctrl+4 = Create

    Ctrl+5 = Land

    Shift and Drag Copy object in edit

    Ctrl+Z = Undo (once while in edit)

    Ctrl+L = Link (selected objects in edit)

    Ctrl+Shift+L = Unlink (selected objects in edit)

    Ctrl+U = Upload Image

    Ctrl+Shift+3 = Texture Console

    Ctrl+Alt+T = Highlight Transparent

    I am surprised I have an honored rank. I would have thought "annoying" would be more suitable rank considering how many people I have pissed off over the years on the old forum, and the older than old forum.

    In my opinion... There are issues that have a much farther reaching impact than forum badges to worry about. I would rather put my energy on community activism and organizing for issues that have actual importance to the success of the entire platform. Like Privacy and things like Jira voting (albeit a lost cause).

    Most of us are capable of focusing on more than one issue at a time. Those people on the lowest rank seem to have restricted accessibility. You may not think this is important or relevant but I am sure they do.

    LOL, I learnt recently that the Americans havn't actually corrupted the English language as much as is generally thought. In fact American English is actually closer to the English that the pioneers used than proper English is today. So in the last 200 years it has been us British that have used a more evolved form of English and the Americans are using a more traditional form of english. It was on QI so if Stephen Fry says it's true then i'm not gonna argue with him.

    Limit to item in your store?

    It's kind of irrelivant what perms your box has. Its the perms of the content within the box that matters. Even so, permissions wont stop the items from showing up in your inv on SLM. 

    If I was in your position right now I would literally start again. Delete all my magic boxes, get a fresh MB  from SLM and put 1 item in it and sync to the marketplace as a test. The problems you are having are not normal.

     

    Permission problems

    There are a number of things that would cause this.

    1. You having something in the contents of one of the prims that is no transfer (like a script or texture or something)

    2.. One of the textures you used is no transfer.

    3. One of the prims was not made by you which has corrupted the linkset. This has happened to me a few times. I purchased some full perm flagstones plus sculpt maps from someone. Rather than using the maps to make my own flagstones I used the full perm sample version I was given . I linked it onto my garden and took it into my inventory. Suddenly the whole thing became no transfer. Non of it was logical. Even when I rezzed it and de-linked it I could not get any of the prims to return to full perm. Had to rebuild the whole thing again.

    Took Advise on Merchant's ROUND ROOM STORE DESIGN

    in Merchants

    That sounds really cool!

    I was commissioned to build a gallery for a German photographer in 2007 and after much discussion we decided on a round build. The build had a diameter of 128 metres and only 1 storey high. Inside there were 4 more round walls, almost like a doughnut within a doughnut within a doughnut each getting smaller as you got to the centre. So the end result was seemingly endless curved corridors with photographs spaced every 10 metres. In the centre there was a nice round 30m diameter room where we set up an indoor garden with an original Starax piece in the centre. It really did work well. 

    I started on a similar design for IBM a year later but they cancelled the project so I never got to improve upon it.

    Drop me a LM or put an announcement in this thread when you are open, I would like to visit!

    Oh I imagine you won't be the only one. On SL Exchange we had a thread where we critiqued each others' siggys, so we all pretty much had them. But now I see mine has the bottom sliced off of it.

     

    I remember having a 2 day argument with you about sig spamming. I shall create some sig spam tomorrow and invite you to call me a hypocrite if you so desire. :smileytongue:

    Ideas .. as in "How Search works now?" I have a line on something, but it's a bit early yet to tell. The past few days the GSA index spider has been so erratic that I've been having to wait 12, 18 and sometimes 24 hours to see if my test changes have the desired (or any) effect.

     

    Has search changed then Darius? Looks the same from where I am sitting....prefabs houses keywords etc.

    I'm only posting here to see how my avatar looks. I'd post over in General Discussion, but there is no GD forum (it also seems that none of it has been archived). So I'm going to post random nonsense in random threads until I've figured out how to make my incredibly tiny avatar look good :womanmad: (random weird smiley)

    Looks like there is a bit of a battle between the "Your Avatar" "Make Friends" and "Entertainment" sections to become the new GD. As long as their stay out of Commerce and Content Creation then i'll be happy.
