Sion Pearl

You could I suppose ping the guy inworld. changsoo123, I believe.

I was playing with Firestorm recently, and while there are a few things about it that really annoy me, they're mostly easily tweaked (I got my sidebar back, for example). But the one I can't seem to get around is that thing where you get the type of viewer everyone is using in parentheses after their name. It's intensely annoying and clutters up the screen no end. How do you turn it off? I can't find it in preferences. Am I being dull or is it buried somewhere?

I don't go to adult sims, generally, but I'm verified, and sometimes I forget. Sorry. I really should have said. Anyway, I think the freebie went away a couple days after I posted. Never mind, here's a picture of me in an uncommon outfit:

I mean that I want latex that look somewhat realistic, with wrinkles and realistic highlights. The ugly white highlights in SL latex is what I really don't like. An impression of real latex sums it up perfectly. I don't want too much realism in my second life, too much "faults" on clothing are not what I look for. I would like stuff that's not possible to wear in RL - and Princess Leia in latex too, thanks! :womanvery-happy: This. Exactly this. I like the Graves stuff too -- I dig on the SF look and the highlights aren't too silly, but yes. I don't want to look like a real fetish model. I want to look like a fetish model after Photoshop. This is me in Graves: And this is me in Elixir, which is not quite as great as Graves but certainly has its moments: I don't want real. I want hyperreal.

Invasion of the newbie bodysnatchers!

That is awesome. Big love to that. Me and my best friend RL, whom I dragged into SL too.

My skybox, my own work, has a rooftop garden and a gazebo.

I change clothes and makeup all the time. Like at least once a day. I change my shape and general aspect very rarely. I am always black, generally bald and always at least slightly impossible. When I find a skin I like, I stick with it for months and months. I was in LionSkins' Yang for about six months, then Nova for longer, and have found a PXL skin I am likely to be sticking with for a while now.

:robotvery-happy: I was thinking, "if you're going to poll people for an academic survey, do try a little harder to make it not look like spam."

Remember? It was on surveymonkey. It didn't ask for anything other than my username, so I did it anyway, and after some digging I found out that the names of the people on the survey were real people so it was either a spammer who did some research or an actual Korean academic with less-than-perfect-English? And it promised L$1000? I received L$1000 this morning from an avatar with the same username as the chap who posted on the forums and a thank you for participating in his survey. I think I was about as surprised as anyone by this. I mean, I'd even changed my SL password on a different computer shortly after doing the survey. I am not sure what the moral of this story is.

Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a prim that I'm trying to activate the glow by touching a switch that is linked to the glow prim (I decided against particle flames). Ihave a touch-to-glow script working, but I want it to activate by touching another prim. All I need is what I'm told is a simple script to allow the remote prim to talk to the glow prim. Iiiin that case, I started a similar couple of threads not long ago, which resulted in scripts that control glow, transparency and visibility. Here's one and here's another. They deal with worn objects, but the principles are similar.

Here's what I'm thinking of: http://www.mermaiddiaries.com/2007/03/day-174-creating-particle-effects-part.html I expect that the regulars will come along soon with advice on how to make it better, but this is what I am thinking about.

It'd be a particle effect, right? The tutorial boxes at Sirena Hair (mentioned on the Mermaid Diaries site in the tutorial section) have at least one on/off particle script. It'd be super-easy to change the settings on that.

Oh yeah, I missed the House pic. It's prettty great.

@Val: Once again, your house is pretty great. How many prims, though? Looks like loooooads.

Loving this. LiveReport wrote: Well... an avatar can dream, can't she? :smileysurprised:

I'll be honest, I didn't understand most of that, but I did ask and you did answer. :robothappy: Got a lot to learn. Anyway, the new script works fine too. I haven't had enough time to see if it's faster or more reliable, but it's certainly working. Thanks again.

The fundamental point however is that we really want someone to make that outfit. :robothappy: (thinks about scupting some prims...)

Thank you. Much appreciated. By the way, apart from you, me and Venus... does anyone else post on this thread? Just asking. :robotwink:

I noticed that - I'd never seen a do... while loop before. In simple terms, what's the advantage? Although I can see that your script is a bit shorter (which must mean it's more efficient right there. But is a shorter script a faster one? I don't actually know this stuff). (I'm at work now, so I can't check on this until lunchtime, but I'll totally have a go at sticking it in now it's fixed.) Oh, and I started on HTML and CSS for my job years and years ago and while I never really got beyond basic javascript, I learned to appreciate that identifying the point where it breaks makes all the difference, even if you don't actually understand why it breaks there. :robothappy:

And this is the same outfit, same moment, same place, taken by my friend Ray. I LOVE this picture.

Colours are good. :robotvery-happy:

I tried it, and it doesn't work - SL tells me there's a syntax error in the line that goes: }while (--1);
