[Where can I download SL wallpapers or gif pics for my powerpoint presentation]

Hello Alisa,

depeding on what you like to do....

1) Download textures as already mentioned

2) Just take snapshots from SL to your harddrive - they are in png, bmp or jpg format and I think PowerPoint should be able to read them (at least .jpg works just fine). If not, use free programs like Filezilla to convert them.

3) Be careful with textures of other creators - using them for your presentation may violate copyright.

4) Pictures from locations (still be careful for copyright) can also be found on SL websites like Destinations.

have fun!

[how to make chat box window appear]

In Preferences - Chat there is a checkbox for bubble chat.

And you can move the IM windows away from the conversions box in the new CHUI too to separate windows.

[Hi I'm new from Asia ツ]

Hello and welcome to SL.

I'll pass you some notecards with landmarks to interesting places inworld.

Have a great time in SL!

Wol

[Can the person who's going by the handle ScorpionWarrior please IM me?]

You may probably have more success it you write an IM to her/him by yourself or drop a notecard inworld stating your ideas.

Good Luck!

Since Google wants some money for his translation service, you need to supply a applid in preferences to use the google translator. 

If you don't need it you can turn off the chat translation in the chat box or preferences.

If you need a working translator try metanomics translator HUD - works fine and is free.

 

[Guten TagIch möchte den Namen meines AVATAR ändern. wie und wo kann ich das machen?]

Den Benutzernamen kannst du nicht ändern, aber einen neuen Account aufmachen.

Es gibt jedoch den Displaynamen, den du 1x pro Woche in deinem Profil ändern kannst.

Für Zugriff auf Adult Land musst du nicht nur über 18 sein und das bei der Registrierung auch richtig eingetragen haben, sondern auch in den Viewer-Einstellungen (Strg-P) auf der Seite "Allgemein" einstellen, dass du auf Adult Land gehen möchtest.

 

[How to make a book page turn ?]

There are some ready made freebie books avaialable that you can use.

I'll pass you some inworld.

 

 

[Can't log in.]

Try logging in on a different location (easy use the destination Guide to select a location to start with).

 

[How can I play it in German?]

In den Einstellungen (Strg-P) auf der Seite "Allgemein" kannst du die Sprache des Viewers einstellen.

Auf Webseiten, die deutsch unterstützen gibt es auch Spracheinstellungen - oftmals gut versteckt.

 

[hi im not able to get in can you please tell me if sl is working on something? ty]

Hello Sweepea,

If your avatar is stucked on a SIM there are some chances to get it free, so it would be good to know your last location:

• Send an IM to the avatar from another user
• FInd the stuck one with another avatar and try pushing it
• if found, ask the SIM Owner for a restart of the SIM
• Otherwise send a ticket to LL.

I just sent an IM now - you are indicated as being offline.

 

[Hilfee inventar]

Du kannst die Länge der Oberbekleidung im Aussehen-Editor einstellen.

Wenn also die Jacke zu kurz ist, geht sie nicht bis runter und dazwischen bleibt was frei.

[Inventory loading problem, bitte helfen!]

Hi Lilith,

das hört sich dubios an - so vieles auf einmal.

Hast du den cache gelöscht?

Wenn nicht, einmal cache löschen und dann auf hahne einloggen, inventar aufmachen und warten, bis es geladen ist..

Ansonsten schreib mich inworld an: Wolwaner Jervil

Hier sehe ich nur selten rein (und wie's scheint, andere auch).

LG, Wol

[SL freezes my computer]

Hello Kate,

the GT120m isn't show under supported videos at the system requirements page, so that may cause troubles.

See: https://secondlife.com/my/support/system-requirements/index.php?

If the card is using shared memory then try to find out the minimum of graphics memory it has and increase this to 512MB if there is a setting for it.

Also there may be some settings in the nvidia control center (long ago I had to fiddle around with some settings on my video card on a laptop to get it running even if not supported directly by LL.

That's all ideas I have for now - except trying some of the available alterante viewers.

Good Luck!

 

[Ich kann manche Sims nicht erreichen (RP Sim zB)]

Bist du sicher, dass der Avatar Adult verifiziert ist (auf der Web-Seite) und du auch die Einstellungen richtig hast (in den Einstellungen auf der allgemeinen Seite musst du auch einstellen, dass du auf Adult gehen willst).

Wenn die Einstellungen richtig sind, versuch mal, ob dir jemand TP schicken kann.

Und bekommst du irgendwelche Meldungen, die das Problem beschreiben?

[SL freezes my computer]

I have seen this with old graphics drivers as well as with running in ULTRA graphis resolution.

Probably try to play around with the graphics hardware settings like anistrophic filtering and VBO enabled.

And it seems that 3.2.5Beta provides the same kind of problem like freezing at 2FPS and killing SL.

Additional Info: Please post what is displayed in the Help-Abut Secondlife Window (it's your system configuration which might be of interest).

Greets, Wol

[Why can't I move things in the RECENT tab in my inventory anymore?]

You are right - the feature to drag things over the Inventory tab to change and drag it to the folder then is gone with V2 of the viewer.

So the only good way is described above - use more than 1 window.

Greets, Wol

[IM History help!!]

I have set the folder to save my IM and chat log to my own defined folder on a harddrive.

So there is no interference with SL Settings and things will stay there (unfortunately one has to set/check it at new installs). Up to now the settings survived the updates.

Note that the chat log (chat.txt) will become large after some time - so I do a rename from time to time (like Chat01-06.2011) to keep it smaller.

At current, IM's sent to E-Mail will not be preserved when you login - so they get lost in between.

Greets, Wol

[ever since the update my avatar or inventory will load im prem. help]

Since the inventory doesn't load the avatar canot be rendered, so you stay as a cloud.

1) login at HAHNE or another low lag sim

2) open inventory, type in any letters in the filter line and wait until all your inventory is loaded (it will stop counting then). This may take some time.

3) when inventory is loaded you may become visible, if not: Press Alt-Ctrl-R (rebake)

4) Open Developer Menu (V2/3: Ctrl-Atl-Q). Goto Develop-Avatar-Cahracter Tests-Test Female or Male. THis should reset your avatar to a default one and make you visible. Then you restore yoru previous avatar and Save the outfit.

Hope this will help

Greets, Wol

[how do i send someone lindens]

RIght cllick the avatar and select "Pay"

Or right click in the friends list and select "Pay"

Have fun,

Wol

[Why is there so much grey?]

Textures are shown in grey until tehy are loaded from the inventory servers.

It may take some time until they load, or if you have lots of packet loss they will never load.

Also a high viweing distance implies that all sim textures are loaded to show.

Even a good Internet connection at your side is no guaranteee that you reach LL servers in good time.

Pressing Ctrl-Shift-1 opens a statistic window to see the ping time from you to the LL servers.

In preferences (Ctrl-P) at the graphics tab try to lower quality or turn on advanced mode and lower the viewing distance to 96m which ist good enough for normal SL use.

Greetz and happy holidays

Wol

[adjust camera angle]

You probably mean mouselook.

I use to turn my mousewheel forward until the cam goes into Mouselook.

Depending on some settings you can enter Mouselook with M or go to the Advanced Menu - shortcuts - Mouselook.

M will only work it you didn't set to start chatting automatically when pressing character keys.

Another setting is to show your avatar in mouselook which is found in the View&Move section of Preferences (Ctrl-P)

[Schwarzer Bildschirm nach Login?! Hilfe!]

1) Hast du 2 Monitore dran - dann muss SL am primären laufen, sonst gibts den Effekt.

2) Versuch mal in den Hardware-einstellungen der Grafikarte VBO auszuschalten.

Viel Glück!

Wol

p.s.

Besser mit Google übersetzt als gar keine Hilfe

 

[mein Inventar scheint verbugt zu sein! nach gründlicher Aufräumungsarbeiten und neustart alles tot]

Hallo L4n4,

zuerst mal: Phoenix komplett deinstallieren und den letztgültigen LL V2 raufmachen (es gibt keinen Support von LL für Fremdviewer).

Dann einloggen und warten, bis alles Inventar geladen ist (am besten auf Hahne oder einer schnellen SIM)

Wenn das nicht hilft dann ein Ticket an LL schreiben.

Daumen drück!

Wol

[I am new and trie to log in. I have a username but the viewer is asking for a first and last name]

On older viewers you must use "Resident" (without ") as last name. This is the default last name for alll new residents since introduction of single name registration.

[I can only access General areas.]

Yes - it does - if your age specified at registration is below 18 you are only allowed to access G rated locations.

In such a case you have to wait until you become 18.

Greetings, Wol
