Gadgets you MUST have in SL

I think they already did this.

If there is an option to mute attached lights, and you don't tell me where it is, your toes are in serious danger.

A flight assist, really. And I have become attached to my AO. Speaking of which, I need to mod it, since I got more poses during Sylva's holiday fire sale.

Right, I'm going to get a mysti tool, anyone know the best place to pick one up?

Thank you Love

I don't know for sure, I just thought I saw something about it being in a recent viewer...RC, maybe?

I'm pretty sure that's correct.

Don't see an option to mute attached lights in the release notes.

It's Advanced->Rendering->Attached Lights in 1.21 on. But it's not ideal in its current form, face lights do disappear but they still count against MAX_LOCAL_LIGHTS, so building lights can still be left dark.

Aha. Yes, if they still count against local lights that doesn't really help much.

Is this English?

"fixed in maint-render-8" sounds like it could be a disappointment at first glance, that's where shadows (and a general lifting of local light limits) went. Why that might be disappointing is that the shadow and light stuff is apparently on hold, so says M.

Mine doesn't.... it periodically shows them in the chat window for me. I got tired of scrolling through the chatspam to see what someone said. Maybe the new update does that, above the buttons? If I can get it to work correctly, I'll check into it.

Oh, I think you might be looking at a different related feature. There is a notification of who is in chat range (That's Chat Notify under the Privacy button), and that does get printed out. Under that same Privacy menu you can instead use Scan 30m or Scan 96m, which is the one that shows up as floating text on the HUD. Those have stayed the same for a while, so you should have them.

Mine has always listed them over the buttons, and I bought my first Mystitool in late 2006ish.

Edit: I'm in my skybox, so no one is around, but there would usually be a listing where it says "No AVs within 96m."

Ok, got the mysti thingie.....very cool.

But, could someone please tell me, how do you drag a landmark?

Ooohhhh from my inventory, oh duh, nevermind figured it out. I was trying to copy a slurl onto the hud thingie.

I was on SL years ago, and found it silly that a standard HUG script was never provided, its the first thing you would want to do with ur friend in SL, and instead you just stand there and talk, with no way to show affection like a hug, anyone else find this strange that its not given as standard ?

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get one, and that anim override!

I find SL hugging extremely creepy and disturbing.

That may be the oddest thing I've seen in the forums for quite some time! LOL

Sorry

Handy

Come on! That freaky slow motion, slightly disconnected animation is straight up creepy. I mean, in the real world when you hug people half the point is that you can feel them. What's the point in SL?

Same could be said for any form of sex in SL, right? Which is why nobody does *that*. Why ride in a vehicle in SL... you're really sitting at your computer. And on and on...

Well, SL sex works the same way porn does except it's more awesome because it's interactive. Riding vehicles in SL takes you to new places that you can see and gives you a different perspective on SL. All fine and dandy. But watching two avatars slowly, slowly line up, raise their arms like little robots and then glide towards each other or maybe not even that if they're misaligned a little... ugh. It's especially weird for the person on the receiving end since they get controlled automatically by someone elses animator.

/SL Sex, more awesome than porn!
