Ah! in the Expected section. Thanks Arton. Well you and I both know they don't read these completely anyways

The value of mesh decrease more! Right now and I am sure the amount will change if you add a script to a mesh it doubles in cost at least in my findings. Here I thought this was a weird bug but was closed as expected behavior. so my 120 prim cost drawing board is now 240 prim cost. Just from one script. Is this really expected behvior or some one not read it thinking it was a feature request? CTS-613

okay well you know we can't bet on this. TOS Will be interesting to see what the prim cost end up being. Right now it seems to be getting way to complex. you really don;t know what the cost will be till you actually hit the Upload button jsut to find out days of work will be to much cost wise. It just is getting very frustrating seeing something which was great getting worse and the value of mesh is slow decreasing.

Only five changes before going live. heh start your bets . 1-5, 6-10, 10-15, or 15-1000 changes

So now what is the formula? When uploading a simple low prim mesh such as a triangle the prim cost is 1.5. The more you link together the cost per prim slowly decreases. So basically the work around now will be sell your stuff mod copy so it can be linked to other mod copy stuff. The more things a person links together the less the prim cost will be. Second problem you are low on prims and building something. The cost is low for all prims you have. You unlink everything. All the sudden the prim cost increases and things get returned. Not to mention the new bug where adding a script to a mesh and it doubles the prim cost LOL. CTS-613: I hope this is a bug and not a new feature. Anyways end of my little rant.

Things to know if your product is adult and you are not logged into the market place or setup to view adult items it will not show. Some times you might have a word in the description/key words/features which automatically make it adult. A friend of mine was selling a "kiddie pool" and it was flagged as adult because of "kiddie". So it may be some stupid word you did not even think could be adult oriented. If you know you clicked General make sure and edit your list and make sure it is still General. On a side note there are a nice feature on the old exchange which told you how many home page viewer your item would get and of those homepage views it also you told you how may people clicked it from there. If you start a feature request on the Jire for such I feature I would be happy to follow/watch/vote for it. Right now it only reports how many sales and how many times your product may have been searched by a word or phrase.

It is very difficult to make an automatic system work for everything. Such as when it comes to a SL "tools" and using key words. Such as my system makes poses in world which I have been selling for many years. So lets say some one needs to have a pose for a bike. A customer might search for bike poses. So among some of my key words I have ..., bike, ...,poses,... These both would relate to this product but are not next to each other or in quotes. But since bike stands alone they consider it to be you are trying use a word to an item you do not sell directly. When in my case it a word I use for an item that my tool may service. What I am not 100% clear still on is the use of quotes in my key words. It appears I must use "bike pose" with quotes so it is thing my tool may make for an item it would be used in. Which in my opinion is about the same thing as my tool makes poses for bikes and other. I don't know if listings are flagged then an employee must then decided weather it truly abides by the rules. And I am sure after looking at 1000s listing some bad judgment calls will be made.

Today (5/31/2011) I recieved the message on logging into the marketplace shortly after updating an image on an item I sell. "We've removed one or more of your listings under our Marketplace Listing Guidelines. For the specific content removed, please check your marketplace inventory. Before listing items, please review the Marketplace Listing Guidelines." The last update to it was in February. I have read thru the guidelines and really have no idea as to what this might have been automatically flagged as "spam or abuse to the guildlines". Is this something I can contact suport about? I have gone back and selected "List" and so far for the past couple hours has been fine. I am just about to spend many real life dollars in advertistment then I run into this problem with the markeplace.

Start writing up those Jira feature request. I did make one at one point for your #2 which got shot down as a "Won't finish" actually the wording should be changed to "Won't Start". Sugest not putting it all on one jira. THen link all your points together.

There is pretty much no way LL can block someone from copying geometry once it hits another computer computer there are tools which work with any data passed to the video card via OpenGL. It even works with that other program Blue M@rs or pretty much every game outthere. But with that other Blue place content creator have to register and order a Software development kit and spend some money. If you end up copying peoples stuff they look as creation dates and pretty much kick ya out. and you are out if you are at fault. You have to think of the SL viewer as a fancy 3D browser. If you post content on it people can see it and copy it. Sad but true.

they pay attention more to "watches" than "votes". More interest is shown if a person watches for updates and changes. hint hint

We still wait for this options for the pivot point and now what ways we did have have been removed.

Use llAvatarOnSitTarget() in the change event. It will return a NULL_KEY if nothing is sat on it and and return the AVs key when sat on. So record the last key and current key. When the last key is not null someone just stood up from it. While a user is sitting do not check current key is not null or else you will get a false negative for some on standing up. Also note if you have a sit target it cannot be zero rotation and zero position. key current_key = NULL_KEY;key last_key = NULL_KEY;default{ state_entry() { llSitTarget(<0,0,1>, <0,0,0,1>); } changed(integer change) { if(change & CHANGED_LINK) { current_key = llAvatarOnSitTarget(); if(current_key != NULL_KEY && current_key != last_key) { llOwnerSay("I was just sat on"); } else if (last_key != NULL_KEY && last_key != current_key) { llOwnerSay("some one just stood up from me"); } last_key = current_key; } }}

Thanks. I must be getting old. I get lost in the Jira these days.

Link to Jira for llSetCameraParams new parameter to set Field of View or View Angle

Actually these keys change the View Angle in Preferences>>Move & View an the short cut key can decrease the angle more than the slider can.

In there any way via LSL to set the camera FOV (field of view)? Do I need to start a jira to for a feature request to add FOV to camera controls since this may be lacking? This is one of the setting in preferences. Ran across this problem recently when setting up a game board. Where using camera controls it set the camera so each person sees the same thing. THe board fit fine on my screen while a friends was cut off on top and bottom. After a bit of looking around found the problem by having him set his FOV back to default (CTRL-9) he then saw the same thing regardless of screen resolution as long as the screen width was large than the height. Note: use CTRL-8 and CTRL-0 to increase/decrease FOV.

Set prims to Mod/Trans, Scripts Trans Really no way to not be able to Read a notecard. Best bet is to make scripts which can be dropped in. The script itself would then send the data to the main script. Then the script could delete itself or have a menu on which allowing the user to delelete the script. Advantage would be much fast and would not require data server request which are slow.

well that is even a better idea granted you have enough free memory in the script. If you have a large linkset could be a large list. I may have to go back and revist some of my older builds. The thought of getting all names in the link set never even occured to me. But being able to change only cetain prims at once has been a little annoying. You can can change all, one or all others.

I'm sure there is a small group of people that will like that.

Wonder if people will switch to Pose Tetrahedron? With two linked together they only count as one prim. Even though it is less than 0.5 prims by itself it is counted as 1.0. It is Actually 0.424 but it looks like there is a clamp set on the min of 0.5. After linking 100 of them together it says total link cost is 50.0 and all selected link cost in 42.4. Can't get much simpler than 4 vert and 4 faces without it becomming a plane or not visible from certain angles.

Since the mention of llRegionSayTo was brought up in the last meeting I can;t wait. What I do wonder is this a secure way to send data to another prim granted the person does not have mod right to edit the prim recieving data. Or will there be some debug mode that allow the person to see messages sent on certian channels. The great thing about this is it seems like it should be faster server side. The server should not have to build a list to see distance from a prim or what scripts are on certain channel. Just lookup prim by ID that is it? It is still being developed so this may all be changed. but I now see many great aplications for it.

Functions you will need to look into. llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast set the parameter of any prim in a link llGetLinkPrimitiveParams use to get name/description. I have done something like this for a whole house. where in the name I have "Wall,Floor,Cieling" the description then contains the faces associated with each such as "1,2&3,4&5,6,7". so if you wanted to change the color of the Cieling the script would search thru all the prim looking for the word Cieling. It finds it is the 3rd word on a prim it then get the description looking for the 3rd set of numbers "5,6,7". can changes the colors for those faces. Plus the advantage is you can do this all from one script in the root prim of each attachment. the set up may seem a little work changing the name and description for each prim but the pay off is great using very few scripts to manage! Putting a script in every prim in my opinion is not the best thing to do.

One thing I find annoying is standing up to find yourself standing on furniture. I you want the avatar to stand in front of the object/chair when they stand set your X position offset in your animation program around -1.0 meters (unit of measure will vary depending on program). Or 1.0 meters if you want them to stand behind things like dinning room sets. Noting more annoying than having people stand on your turkey dinner. Once you upload the animation align the pose using the sit target for the script(s). On a side note this is not a good idea to use this offest method for vehicles as it will casue unexpect results with the physics since the avatars phyical shape may stick outside the vehicle. Using U-Poser will allow you to see how far the Avatar is from the center postion as well as help you judge where the physical shape of the Avatar is when making vehicles.
