When I first came to SL, we had no such things as NPCs or Bots on lots. I came from The Sims online which technically did have NPCs though back in 2004 and I always thought it would be neat or convenient to have NPCs in SL. Atm, I can't stand them. I won't even decorate my home with the statue bots with scripted speech. they are about as annoying as food/drink giving objects. I was even at one time thinking of designing my own spider modeled NPC/Pet but that desire has gone for now. I remember when Mesh was first announced, how we were to have this robust pathfinding system in SL over time to eventually have NPC and simulated animals (the Wilderness is a direct result of the mesh and pathfinding project iirc). Utherverse (RLC), has Bots/NPCs for paid members to use infact and they are ever so creepy. If it's for development strictly then I might consider them useful like for things such as educational purposes. but when using SL in my own time or travels at leisure, I'd prefer to run into real persons.

@Whirly Fizzle I don't have a screenshot (was in a video call at that time too), I vaguely noticed the "Blocked" message saw, saw the TP was stalling and hit Cancel, and it plopped me into the spot I was TPing to oddly enough. I dismissed it as a case of miscommunication and rarely used notification of the viewer. a strange rubber banding handoff in effect. I remember years ago having to detach things before TPing. but this certainly wasn't that.

used a Wall walking add-on from Magic Emerald Combat HUDs .

Doing some video testing of my new avatar creation in it's more natural wooded setting.

Who said you need an invisible prim? I want to bring this up to clear up any misinformation on selling, if the creator of the frame stated this would be their preference then yes, you might want to, otherwise if it's just a friend or associate for which the frame is not associated with, then I would use your own judgement too. You can sell the frame with your picture 'as is' too, and can rename the frame and description to indicate or note the artist (you) and other features too. Don't forget to check and see if there is a specific Terms or Use for the frame to for any information like next owner permissions you may use for the frame. Linking a prim to someone else's creation is really silly in SL It's still the other person creations, but hey , everybody's doing it right?

This is my newest avatar creation. My Bone Drider with animated mesh head and eyes and custom material and mapping on body and head. (Off topic) but does anyone know where one could actually use or wear this avatar outside of organized RP? I goto combat sims and those are dead. most RP is not very spontaneous at times if not in an organized or stuctured RP group. Are there any groups for this particular type of avatar, or other collaborating creators who lean towards this level of custom creation in SL? Many immediately spot this Avatar as as spider, but it also is missing some elements that a basic spider would have and yet has other features an alien species my have and a humanoid head with a menacing dead gaze. The body is includes normal and specular maps made in MindTex, the base textures made in Photoshop and Gimp.

I know! They can charge us L$ or money for each time we rez a prim or write a note card or post a thread? they could even include package pre-pay options to further access the interface like some other platforms do 😀

I holdControl+Alt+shift, - , 0, and 3 to clear out any non essential elements to not be drawn after log in. Also you can hit control A to call up all persons in your immidate range on your radar. click on the top name (hold shift to select them all) can also deselect friends on the list. Then right click and select Derender. You may have to do this every session (you can also permanently derender to a blacklist ). these steps can help your performance. SL is not just a graphics delivery container. It is a physic environment engine and reacts accordingly to it's rule sets in conjunction with your setup as well as a ton of data (this can vary depending on the given physics data being communicated). Sim crossing or teleports. Sims communicate with eachother as well as your client. There are too may factors to consider that could be interpreted as lag when it's just a matter of the system talking and thinking and people being in a rush.

I hope gifting isn't broken 😮 It's a great for an alternative to tipping

because I an one for honesty... This is what my avatar looks like right now 👽😎😄 . My Xeno Drider out exploring and invading other worlds . mistook a kids slide for an escape ship lol *The environments are not by me but random locations that came up in Search. The Xeno-Drider is my creation (tail is from Renns Traum, he makes awsome AVs too).

.

ok last one promise 😁

How did I know that just by the title of this thread, that at the end was a big old red Stop Sign

try Le'tre , they have several female skin and body match tones as well and feet appliers too.
