Thanks, a friend was able to help me get it sorted.

Hi all. I have some pretty good scripts that provide sound on attach but I can't for the life of me figure out how to deactivate the loop and make it play only once. Is this possible and can someone assist me please? Thanks!

Thank you. I'm not leaving. I'm simply choosing my battles. I'll be around for the next go. I've said my piece here and have nothing else to share nor do I care to contend with condescending keyboard warriors... so I shall be moving along to the next topic of interest. Thank you for your support.

No, actually, I don't. I can choose to leave. We always have choices. Anyway... I'm done with this thread. We will see how this PBR pans out won't we. I think though... the callous attitudes I've encountered here tell me a lot about some of the people that comment here... Not everyone can afford the required updates to their computers that will allow them to experience these updates smoothly but compassion for these people seem to be very lacking. SL has people from all over the world with many different backgrounds and economic capabilities. SL has always been more than a gaming platform. It's been a community full of diversity and inspiration. It's disappointing to read some of the comments from my fellow SLers. But this is a social forum so I suppose I should expect to encounter the typical opinionated keyboard warriors here. Best wishes.

Sweetie.... I'm done.... have a good day... my time is wasted on people like you. Cheers!

I don't see this.... compassion... you speak of... but ok. Noted... Luna Bliss.

I can't say I would agree at all. I think that you lose a lot of potential with that kind of outlook. SL could be a little more patient and give some time for others to prepare. Firestorm only just became PBR capable and that's the viewer most people I know even use. It's too soon to expect the whole of SL to push over and be ready for this, especially when there's clearly many bugs yet to be worked out. You have PBR now... so there's no reason those of you who enjoy it, can't just enjoy it without expecting the rest who aren't ready to conform right away. You have the technology at your fingertips now... why should SL have to lose anyone along the way?

I've had friends encouraging me to move to other sims as well.. I've declined so far but if this situation in SL doesn't improve, I may consider looking into it. And if I leave, I take a big chunk of SL with me... I've contributed a LOT here. That's just an example of why it's so important that SL not try to alienate their users. You never know who you might lose in the process. We all make this virtual world what it is. Linden Labs provides the platform but we users do the rest really. Attracting new users is great but not if you're losing seasoned users who have years of experience and skills they contribute to SL.

We also don't have to accept it. LL stand to lose its members rather than improve the population decline. That's not just their problem. Everyone suffers since we we have a thriving in-world economy.

Who's we and what do you suggest will help?

I reinstalled my previous viewer tonight after several days of trialing the PBR update and couldn't be happier to be back on the older viewer. I hated the new viewer. I could not go anywhere that had any kind of crowd without insane lag and decreased framerates. Textures wouldn't load correctly or at all in some cases. I never got a decent framerate even when I was somewhere low intensity. I'm used to being able to run 5 or 6 viewers simultaneously with few issues on mid level graphics... so it's not like I don't have a good PC. None of the shiny and reflections made this viewer worth me losing the speed and functionality I am accustomed to having with previous viewer. If Linden Labs does force us into this without better alternatives, I am afraid there will be many of us who will lose interest and leave. I've heard arguments from people on FB forums telling others they should just update and stop whining... That would be great if people could just afford to. Second Life has always been a platform that most anyone could participate in, given they adjusted their graphics to suit their computer's needs. This PBR forces us to have strong machines that can roll with it in order to maintain the same level of functionality we get before PBR was introduced. I truly hope we're not forced onto the PBR viewer and are able to maintain our use of SL through a maintained version of the older one. If LL isn't careful, they could very well push away more people than they stand to attract through this update and that could crash the SL economy and run off vital users who make major contributions to our virtual community. It might not seem important to some when users choose to leave, but you never know what skills and valuable assets they take with them when they go. Second Life depends on its users to create the world we live in. I hope that a better solution can be found that appeases all.
