  1. I find 1.23 easier to use, it's not about comfort for me but functionality. The fewer clicks to do things means I can do more things at a time and I often do. If want to hear music on 1.23 it is one click, V2 requires four, that makes toggling between stream changes to hear different artists a so slow process. While some things can be edited to reduce clicking or you can tear off menus each time to make it easier to do other things this is all extra unnecessary clicking. I want to do things inworld not in the UI. I also find the UI of V2 to be too obstructive of what is going on inworld, I thought the viewer was intended to view the virtual world not the random controls of the UI splashed all around the view of the virtual world.

    Oh, actually I have an update for the new viewer 3.0.0 . . .

    As for missing the new features that are being added I feel most of us don't know what we are missing because we don't see it so it doesn't matter. The marketplace web site has removed customers from inworld so so there's not a lot of people adding inworld internet since there's no one there to see it. Sculpties are still so slow to load if they have any complexity so we already see huge balls all over the place a few more balls of mesh wont make much of a difference.

    I think it all depends on if you are a user and want to use the system as a pastime to play or if you are a resident and you want to be in virtual reality to socialize and/or work.

     

     

     

     

     

  2. It has some thing to do with computers being set up to read bits in those numbers faster 16, 32, 64, 128, 512, 1024, the same reason they recommend pictures being set at those numbers as well for upload. Also prims larger than 64x64 take longer to load but if we need bigger thank goodness we still have the megas. I have a race track in a 100x100x100 sphere and anything smaller just wouldn't cut it... I guess we can't say it is 100 meters squared if it is a sphere right?

  3. Sure, stand exacty where you want to teleport to, go to World at the top of the screen and select Create Landmark Here or open the map and select Copy Slurl to paste it on a web page.

    For either of these to work the Land will have to have it's Land Point settings set to 'Anywhere'. You can do this in About Land >>> Options or ask the sim owner if they can do it for your area if you do not have access to the About Land controls.

  4. It seems they are waiting until they get a version of V2 that actually works before considering cutting off 1.23 so the complaints are not more numberous than they are now... smart move. After all you never hear anyone complaining about 1.23 other than they hope it does not go away any year soon and they know this.

  5. It looks good so far, very basic but that's fine. As long as they don't go clutter crazy like they did with the viewer. Although I don't see the logic of calling the message board the Home page.

    Hopefully they do NOT go the way of facebook and make it a massive spamming program with games, multi tagging, requests, pokes, invites, you have been added to a group with out being asked and the list of user inducing spamming goes on and on... just to try to keep people on their wed site longer.

    You want facebook? Go on facebook. You want social networking? See you inworld.

  6. Bumpy works fine for me but only on certain textures. Test them out you'll find textures with medium color difference work best, too low of a color difference and the effect can be too intence but ones with a lot of contrast will move the bumpy too far away and it could look bad.

  7. "We are not responsible for comments..." is a perfectly valid disclaimer that really should not be needed. We should all already know having comments will attract goodies and baddies and individuals will take advantage of this which ever way they see fit. They are responsible for representing themselves meaning it is not the comment or the web site but the person we are learning about that wrote it. Limiting this will only limit learning the true nature of all humans, their development and their interactions with others.

    It's usually young internet users that make nasty comments with name calling and hatred, I can not say kids since they are not always only kids. It's a passing phase, like any bully their actions will stop out of sheer boredom or when a little maturity comes their way. It takes a community to raise a child and ignoring or banning someone does not help them grow, it can in fact stunt their growth. Negativity will always hurt and it does not matter who it is directed to or if it comes from the child or the adult.

    It is not a matter of us against them, it is matter of us helping them, no matter who or where they are when we encounter them including on the internet. Being civil is not an action we do when everyone is getting along, it is a way of responding to all individuals in any situation.

     

     

  8. Right now prims with flexi can be linked to other prims but if the other prims are linked to the end that sways the linked prims with not move with the sway, they will stay at the center center link point. Also sculpties can not be made to be flexable. Since mesh is a more accurate and detailed sculpty I can not imagine they would add features that they still can not add to normal prims or sculpties.

  9. I have noticed many older sculpties load extremely fast, so fast they are unnoticeable, they are just there. However other sculpties take an extremely long long time to load. Is this because they are made using a less effective program? I use as few sculpties as possible because of this long long loading time. Will some Meshies have this long loading time too? Gosh I hope not!

  10. From everything I know a sim is a sim is a sim and they all have their own controls, prims, billing etc. If a HS is a home stead I can only assume it is real just a sim with again it's own details. With that no you can not have the prim limits combined or exchanged in any way... they may each be in a separte server, (computer) after all.

    As for the customer service not knowing the answer, well if they do not know they do not know, if no one else is availible then no one else is available, try again later on. Calling Chat is usually for what can they do to help you at that moment not so much there to tell us any and all information about SL. There's so much infomation in so many different areas I don't think anyone can know it all.

     

  11. Yes actually I do. I usually try to work with my neighbors to see if we can make our places fit together nicer. Unfortunately many times people build things and I see their builds after they have been placed. Also the sims around mine have changed owners several times making it tough to keep up with. I have had a river I placed in my sim go into the next sim and all the way through it, that was a nice one but it is gone now. I tried to put a road along one border hoping others could use it too but only one guy could use it. I think it is true if we could all at least try to make things blend more mainland could be a much more amazing place to explore.

  12. As the others have suggested there are ways to remove these animations.

    Give those a try but be prepared when speaking to someone, (typing in chat) and having them walk away from you since they do not see your speaking animations and possibly think you are busy or you are ignoring them. I had to reset the animations for that exact reason. Or you could try speaking in smaller sentences so it appears in chat before they leave.

    I don't really see how the animation could be bothersome since one is looking at the keyboard while typing but then again that could be just me since I am still a two, (some time three woo hoo) finger typist hahaha.

  13. Yes your browser is miss reading it... '... should read... '

    Mine reads is as an apostrophe using firefox.

    But you are right there is a typo, the second time they use it on that line they forgot the s, ( it' free... reads... it' free ).

  14. Rolig that's wild but I did try it many times in the past and just before I replied and I found the effect totally unnoticeable. I only made the prims and testing them by walking into them though. I did not add textures so I would not know which one was which.The numbers may add up but I really could not see any difference at all hmmm. Naturally I have to go try again lol.

    Ok I'm back and yes it worked, hollow, solid and doubled are all a bit different. This time i did it on a FLAT prim instead of on the beach. Cool script too ty :)
