  1. For others who use the Second Life Viewer (a.k.a. LL Official Viewer) - the same is found in Preferences-> Chat-> - the setting is at the very bottom of the panel.

    Because these forums should be inclusive of all SL users, not only elitist Firestorm users. (Yes, many FS users are very elitist greater-than-thou types, though I'm not accusing those in this thread of same.) LOL

    I posted a question on his viewer thread, asking if his site /viewer etc is GDPR compliant etc, but so far no answer.

     

    Glaznah, could you address this please?

     

    (Note for non EU users: GDPR is a European wide data protection law that limits what a site etc can do with a user's personal info, how they collect it, use of cookies etc.  I think there's something similar for California users?)

    Yes, the rest of the world knows what it is, no need to be condescending. As for being "compliant" - if it doesn't store any data, then it is compliant. Even if it does store data, it doesn't have to be compliant (as long as a notice of such is posted., and basically stating 'EU people keep out" LOL) My point being that you may not be asking the right question; the real question is does the system store any data other than what is dropped onto your local system, right?

    Simply not enough Rez Zones in for rail in this area. Hit a bad crossing and there are a few and poof you're train is gone with nowhere to rezz it again. Nice looking area though, too bad they don't bother updating the textures and roads already in the Atoll.

    Train-crash at region crossings is very rare (even on the crusty-rusty-rickety-old SL RR track in Heterocera). You may want to try a different train with more up-to-date scripts and lower LI as that can be the only plausible reason you'd experience this in Belliserria. Just a suggestion, nothing more. :)

    Yes. The usual SLRR convention is that each station and each siding has a rez zone.  Bellesaria doesn't have anywhere near that many.

    And where there's a road to a station, it should have a rez zone.

    Ditto. And there aren;t that many RR Stations, I'd have hoped they would have planned for rez zones at them. But,k alas... 😭

    The rail system in Belli is a work in progress and not 100% complete, so most likely they aren't adding any more until it's all finished and functioning properly.

    It serves little purpose for LL to place all the rail rez zones now then have to deal with everyone whining about other currently non-functioning aspects of the railroad system ;) 

    I'm not sure where Belli is, but hopefully regarding Belliserria, you're correct on that. (Yes, I am Intentionally calling out lazy typing of place names.)

    I make it a habit to rez everything in edit mode.  Sometimes it's crazy how items will rez underground or in the sky rather than ON a selected spot. 

    Rez while Edit Tools is open is wise. As for items not rezzing where you thought, keep in mind that if you're viewer camera is *inside* a prim or solid object - you may not know it. Since you cannot rez an object inside an already-rezzed object, your new rez will end up on top of the object your camera is inside.

    So, if you cam high (looking down) and your camera is inside that low ceiling of your LL home, which is a solid chunk of mesh from ceiling to rooftop, and you rez something on the floor... Guess where it ends up? LOL (You're actually trying to drop it inside the ceiling.)

    Just a little answer to the mystery; no magic SL here, no aliens, or UFOs, or Linden conspiracies, nothing to see, move along...

    ok...  I usually word this wrong.  I'm far from an expert.  but i am needing some help...  There is a 'standing ao' i want at a ao store.  I only want the standing ao part.  I do not want the walking, flying, running, dancing, etc ao that come with the whole entire ao package. 

    Ok...  So this is my question...  If i do buy the standing ao alone.  If I do not buy the entire ao package...  Will it be easy to change from my new 'standing ao' to walking or running because they are made by different brands?  Is there something I can do or something I can buy so I can switch from standing to running to flying smoothly?  Is there a video link anyone can recommend I can watch on how to do such things?  ty

    Answering the question: Brands do not matter. An animation is an animation, provided the creator did it *correctly* it will be a smooth transition from one to the next.

    How do you get a superscript in this dang forum?

    Use a Mac? (Seriously, using a Mac it's easy") - BUT the ™©℗℠ are all emojies that are one-click in macOS and I think available in "KeyMapper" app on Windows.

    The only way I know to approach an orthographic view is to use Firestorm's Phototools Cam pane to set the View angle to the minimum of 0.080 (Default is 1.048). This is still a 3D view, but it's pretty flat. For large objects, you'll have to cam very far away, which will require you to set a very high draw distance. This won't work, of course, if there are other objects in the light of sight, blocking your view.

    Hopefully, if there's a better way, someone else will come along and reveal it.

    Just a heads-up for everyone: the "Phototools" feature mentioned above is a system feature. The way to acheove what the OP is asking if by changing the Field of View, rather than camera angle. To change the FOV in any viewer: CTRL+0 "flattens" the scene (narrows FOV, a.k.a. "zoom-in") and CTRL+8 "expands" the scene (widens the FOV, a.k.a. Zoom-out) and CTRL+9 reset to default. When modified with ALT+CTRL and ALT+CTRL+SHIFT the arrow keys will move the view angle in any direction you can think of. :)

    Now for the useless trivia: With respect to "flatten" or "expand," we are really referring to "Depth of Field". I know, you're thinking "But Depth of field makes the background all blurry!" That's actually called defocussing, not blurring, and Linden Lab has it misnamed "depth of field" effect, that is actually "Focal Plane". Bahaha! So, in the real world, if you decide to speak pro-photographer, understand these terms. :D

    uhm, can you tint bom stuff? like you can do with appliers? all my layers are tinted in one way or another...

     

    2 hours ago, Skell Dagger said:

    Yes, as long as the system layer is modifiable.

    All the BOM stuff I make (my alt) is modifiable specifically for tinting (a lot of it starts out a white.) Thus, when shopping for any BOM stuff, check that it's modify permissions.

    Hi guys, can anyone suggest me some shops where to find good tattoos that work well on Legacy body too? I know that Omega cannot be used.

     

    Thanks all!

    Any tattoo shop that is making tats for BoM/Classic avatars.

    This. Peruse the Marketplace Tattoos section and sort from oldest to newest. If any catch your attention, they will often describe how it comes: If it has appliers, they will say so; if it has "layers" (or "system layers" or "Tattoos layers) they will usually say so. If neither Applier or Layer are described, you can usually presume it is a system layer. Also, it is a good idea to look at the CONTENTS tab, if it is not boxed and you see an item called "Tattoo" - then that is a system layer. Those are named for the type they are (Tattoo, Undershirt, Shirt, Jacket, etc.)

    on the first. In ambiguous situations I have a tendency in the first instance to favour the creator.  This said, when reading a text I can sometimes misunderstand the writer's intent

    on the second. Yes it could be that like Lucky Chairs a purpose is to reward people who come to the parcel/region and spend time there.  Like i mention before, what OP has experienced is I think a convoluted way for the creator to do this, which creates an unnecessary issue for themselves and for OP

    it may be also, that the creator doesn't know that they can put No-Transfer items in  a gacha machine, and have ended up in this situation thru lack of knowledge/understanding

    i find that overall, the lack of knowledge is more the reason why people end up doing stuff in the way they do.  They just don't know that there can be better ways sometimes. And sometimes further, even when a better way is shown to them, they still don't get it immediately and it can take them some time to work it thru

    If you misunderstand the writer's intent the cause is one of two things: It's not written well or you are not reading it well. (This happens to all of us all the time). Word and reading of them should be literally, especially in a case such as the OP's subject.

    As for the subject proper: If there creator does not want anyone to resell their creations there is one and only one method to prevent that: No-transfer permissions.

    Wow, that freakin hot air balloon is still there.  I sent in an AR for that thing back in mid Jan.

    It could be a re-rez. AR it again. Maybe even mention it is a suspected re-rez since it's been so long since the previous AR and it obviously against the Covenant. (I'm sure they can look under-the-hood of the grid to see whether that's the case or not.)

    Some people have put it like this that the friends list is a contact list or acquaintance list and I think that sounds accurate indeed.

    I see friend list as a doorbell, nothing more (I don't rely on a list to determine if someone is a friend or not). The purpose of the friend list is to notify you when they come or go, so you can get together to do stuff. If you want to be on my friend list and we don't ever do anything together, why should I suffer the ding-dong every time you come and go?

    This is why there are Calling Cards. I actually use those.

  13. It is a setting in some viewers that the user must opt-into (actively turn it on, it is off by default): "Show group notices in group chat". So it is a per-suer, per-setting thing. Meaning that if you set this, it only affects you, the person who set it on their viewer. You who creates a notice have no control over that.

    LOL -- even better, my alt is literally "AjayMcDowwll Alter", made in 2008 during the brief period of time when the last name "Alter" was available.  I nabbed that sucker up quickly, because at the time I was working in management for a (then) large presence in SL, and having somewhere to retreat and just have fun, while still being able to hang with my friends, was priceless :)

    Last names were so much fun back then! I do have a third alt that I made and logged into it just once, because I *had* to create it: "Needellin Haystack: Bahaha I couldn't, for the life of me, even remotely remember the credentials on it. I kind of wish I could, it would be awesome running around in an original 2007 System default avatar right now, crappy purple shirt and bluejeans, to boot!

    (And in case anyone is curious: Chernov is my very first ever alt back in 2006 (Cannot even remember the original) - and that one still has stipend of L$400 a week and all kind of whatnot - That is my "Super-Main" that I don't risk getting suspended or anything in Forums or in world. Even her profile is amazingly conservative.  She is innocent girl-next-door because that is forever account. LOL (And why post count is so low.)

    Does anyone have a landmark for a rez zone near a track?

     

    There are two rez zones for Bellisseria RR - and each of those is a dual zone: track and ground (so vehicles, also).

    One is at the RR Station at the very southern tip of Bellisseria,(Red Hook) - the other is one the middle of Campsite zone (Pugwash) (As others have said above - I'm just conforming these because I RR a lot.)

    Look at my screenshots above. Note that there is no red arrow. Perhaps you are using Firestorm. Or some other factor.

    Your screenshots are also all cropped.

    Take a snapshot that shows a Beacon in it. Then we'll see if your screen shows an arrow or not. (Rhetorical, I couldn't care less about it, just making a point about it.)

    i think that this is also covered in TOS Section 2.7, first paragraph

    paraphrasing: We can't publish or submit to any part of the Service any content that is protected/subjected to proprietary rights unless we have permission from the rightful owner

    publish could mean a listing on the Marketplace

    submit to any part of the Service could also mean the Marketplace, or sticking it in a inworld vendor box, or transferring it to another account

    i think the academic question is: Does setting the Transfer permission give owner permission ?  In the normal course, in the absence of a EULA then yes

    In the case of a EULA that puts conditions on the transfer, the EULA would be the permission I think, and not the T tick box setting

    If the item is transferrable, then... [highlight above is mine] - this is why it is an ambiguous scenario. And based even on the TOS, the right to resell leans toward a "yes".

    Though, et's also look directly at the elephant in the room: the creator doesn't;t want people to sell it; they want people to come to their region to get it so they can generate traffic. As though traffic actually means anything like it used to.
