Does anyone know if you are allowed to have a skybox and to edit land in any of the mainland communities that offer double prims with twice the normally allowable land impact ?

The only way I think there could be a legal problem is if the real world prostitutes start advertising and trying to set up real life connections for illegal sex through second life instead of craigslist or backpage. It has nothing to do with virtual sex this law is about real life sex.

I do not see how they could hold a phone company liable for a private conversation between two people. Not the same thing.

Well the problem for me was creating things was taking up too much of my time and I had other things in real life that were not getting done and as long as the store was still there I was tempted to go back to it and create again. It was hard . I contacted second life support and told them my problem so they disabled my store for me so I cant sell anything on it now. Now I can focus on things in my real life that were not getting done. It was nice having a store but I have to move on now deleting it permanently for me was the best way to cut the cord emotionally from my store .

I just do not think that is the same as being able to close it down completely and move on. Especially if you put a lot of time and attention into it and the listings could still be reactivated. It is like it all is still there waiting to be re activated again.The store is still partly open and hanging on . It feels like Linden will not allow ahyone to let it go. I think someone thinking of opening up a marketplace store needs to know that.

Glad the marketplace is not taking lindens from you but I think it is wrong for second life to refuse to allow anyone to be able to close down a marketplace store. Why would Linden force someone to keep an empty store open with no merchandise for sale, even when that person who created it has no interest in it any longer and just wants to close it down and move on? Why instead is linden llabs forcing them to be trapped with it associated with their sl names the rest of their sl lives,?

Thank you for your reply to me. You did mentijon limbs . Does that include knees and elbows and not just hands?

Do not know if this has already been explained or discussed before, but I do not understand why they have only come out with bento heads and hands but not bento mesh bodies and clothes?And they do have some hair but it is not really that customizeable. It would be nice to finally be able to customize the size of the mesh clothes with sliders and to customize a mesh body and have better full body animations to create a more natural realistic look. Now that we have the bento mesh heads are full bento mesh bodies and clothes also on the horizen soon?

Well I checked my land and could not find any indication it was blocked. Do you know how to tell for sure? I admit I have given up and replaced it with another furniture item at least until I can get some new animations. I like the idea of a replacement animation.

Hi thank you for the info. I need to learn more about all of this.

Yes I appreciate the offer. I wish I knew more about scripts myself. My land is a work in progress. I wonder if updating the second life viewer made any difference also ?

Thank you I agree no copy for furniture is a bad idea. I will contact the creator and see if I can get a new gacha item replacement . I would feel bad about selling it with the scripts not working unless the person knew about it and still wanted it and I sold it at a discount maybe? it is a beautiful piece of furniture maybe if someone has their own script to put into it they may want it ? Or maybe I should consider buying a new animation set for it? Have you ever heard of a script simply to stop functioning or becoming damaged and not working anymore?

Thank you for the suggestions. I do have my land deeded to a group, I also the scripts permission on the land checked and while scripts were enabled for group it was not enabled for anyone else. I set scripts to everyone and made sure I was also wearing a group tag ( though I usually do wear it ) and it worked for one of the gacha items! Now one of them works again. And anothe of the items that did not work turned out to be copyable and I had saved its box it was not a gachs so I created a new one and it works too. Unfortunately the third item ( my favorite ) still does not work. It is a no copy gacha . I went down the line again with the scripts recompiling and resetting but nothing has helped. What is the difference between lsl and mono scripts ? . I feel much better now that at least two are now working again but not sure what to do about the last one. None of them are in pieces. They all rez as one piece.

Hi everyone. I had some coalesced items on my land after I took everything back to start over, and now many of my favorite furniture ( some of it no copy gacha items ) no longer work. None of the scripts inside them will function anymore. I have tried everything I can think and nothing seems to help. Is there anything I can do to get them to work again?

Thank you for your reply. Why is it that sometimes when you add the cube prim to become the creator it does not seem to add any land impact,but then other times like now the land impact does increase?

Hi I have some full perm mesh forms I wanted to merge to create something new . I also want my name as creator so that means rezzing a prim cube that I add on as the root prim. Before I add the prim cube the land impact of the linked mesh creation is 2 and that is fine . The problem is the land impact increases to 3 whenever I try to add the prim cube . I had thought that when you add the cube to a mesh creation to be able to have your name show up as creator it was not supposed to affect the land impact at all, but for some reason this time it is. What do I do ?

Not only did I overlook the decimal I finally realized that I can actually type in the exact numbers I wanted instead of using the arrow keys ! All this time I never bothered to try to type in the number I just thought I had to use the arrow keys which do not work very well . When I first realized this yesterday I felt embarassed to admit it on here I really felt like a fool but then I realized there are other people who may be doing the same thing who could be helped by my post. Isnt it interesting how you can overlook the obvious? This will help me a lot . Now the outfit looks fine and there are many other things that will probably also look better now that I know this simple information.

Hi I cannot seem to get the texture editor back to 1000 for horizontal scale and 1000 for vertical scale for a mesh skirt I have been working with. I was playing around with some textures in my inventory to see what they might look like on a full perm skirt I wanted to create with but now that I have uploaded my own texture it wont fit right on the mesh skirt I messed with. The other sizes still read 1000 for horizontal scale and 1000 for vertical scale and 2.9 for the repeat which seems to be the default setting and my texture works fine but the one I changed and moved the texture on before will not go back to those sizes. They are either above 1000 or below and my texture does not fit. Any ideas on what to do?

But the idea to rig those bones, with the intention of a better fit, came from Prep Linden during mesh beta already. https://community.secondlife.com/t5/Mesh/Need-some-samples-of-a-rig-weighted-to-the-collision-volumes/td-p/1142973 Mesh has certainly been around a while but when did it start to be more widely accepted? I remember when I first came back to the game after a long time away my compter had a hard time seeing mesh, and I thought all those people looking invisible before their clothed rezzed was weird. Now I love mesh for the most part but it has a lot of improving to do. The alpha layers for most clothins are pretty awful and do not work well, and the way the expensive mesh bodies hang in the air in peices when there is lag is not appealing.

Which types of clothing work best in general to buy and wear for a classic avatar? Rigged, unrigged , or fitted?

Recently they've taken this one step further and introduced the Bento skeleton with even more bones - a lot more. Will there come a time when the sl avatar looks so good there will be no need to add mesh feet or hands ? The one thing on the face I can never seem to get right is the nose. The rest of the face looks okay I think ( well maybe the mouth in profile could use some work) with a nice skin it can look as good or better then most mesh head except for the nose. Do you think they will be improving the classic body and face over time to address these issues? I wonder where I can buy just a nice mesh nose not the rest of the face?lol.

Fitted mesh is connected to these main bones and also an additional set of bones in your avatar skeleton called "collision bones" that respond to more of the shape sliders but don't react exactly the same way as your underlying body does. If you wear fitted mesh with your regular avatar it may react unexpectedly to the sliders but if you wear fitted mesh clothing with a fitted mesh avatar body they can both react the same way because they use the same techniques. Different mesh bodies are rigged to the collision bones in different ways which is why you're best off using clothing specifically made for that brand of body. Fitted mesh made for a specific mesh body will respond perfectly in sync with it? Are all the clothes advertised as compatible with slink or maitreya mesh bodies always fitted mesh ? I was wondering if I changed the shape of my avatar to be able to wear the clothes compatible with slink or maitreya mesh bodies will those clothes work well for me?

Thanks for the information but I still do not quite understand. What is fitted mesh is it like rigged mesh or unrigged mesh? And why do they need all these different types of meshes doing different types of things? Why don't they have a mesh that does everything? Moves like a prim and fits well like fitted mesh and has the shape capabilities of rigged mesh? Why can't the capabilities of each be combined into one?

I know this may have been asked already. Can someone explain the benefits and differences of all the different types of mesh and whether or not the technology has improved in them over time. Here is what I know, what else should I know? There is rigged mesh, unrigged mesh and fitmesh. The unrigged is probably the oldest. It's benefit is that it can be modified but the drawback is that it does not move well with the body . Then there is rigged mesh it moves well but you can't change it's size or position. Fit mesh seems to be able to stretch to fit the body but can appear a little extreme in the shape. Fit mesh looks better now on my viewer than it used to after recent updates, before it would sometimes look strange distoted and warped, I would see someone wearing it and it would be stretched out in long lines past their avater. After updating second life a few times that issue is gone. Can you combine unrigged mesh with rigged or fitmesh? Can you combine mesh with prims or sculpties? I have seen hair advdertiesed as scripted to move does that work? Has the mesh technology improved over time? Which mesh is best to buy which should I stay away from?Which is easiest to work with?

I do not feel ready for a mesh body as of yet and the reason why is that when there is lag the mesh body hangs in pieces with body parts floating in the air in a creepy looking manner around your avatar and it will be completely naked, then for a while after it forms around your avatar it will remain completely naked for all to see before the clothes finally are put on. That is how it looks to others in world when you are walking around. I do not find that appealing.
