From: Elanthius Flagstaff 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! I am agreement, it is awkward looking.

In defense of SL hugs - it's not about how they look. It's about the meaning and emotion behind them. Just close your eyes, like you would with a really good RL hug.

Must have
01-08-2009 11:28
My only must haves in sl are: 1. my Mystitool (this thing comes in handy for all kinds of fun) 2. AO (oh boy I know what its like seeing 4 0r 5 girls with the same one..haha) 3. DanceHud (but I'm a dancer so its kind of required) 4. Gangsta Bat. (lol just to get rid of annoying ppl in my house)
That pretty much sums it up. I have a ton of totally useless huds and so on. A few I use occassionally. OH yeah My massivetools HUD... similiar to the Mysti but has a few extra fun parts the Mysti lacks

I also have an AO in it, but I haven't "productized" that version yet. The anvil dropper, BTW, is something I made as a minor tweak of a handheld anvil shooter someone had made long ago.

Sounds like we end up doing about the same things: I "re-purposed" your Flight Feather scripts and combined them with an online status monitor (mostly for certain select Lindens), and a hugger. I keep glancing at my ZHAO 2 in the corner, with vague thoughts of combining it with all the rest of the stuff. (I also wear my CamCaster, the free receiver side of which does the TP-to-cam thing and a few toy cam tricks--but not a TinyCam.) I tried MystiTool for a few weeks, back when I was thinking of making a CamCaster plugin for it, but the MystiTool somehow just never got used.

Attach your AO to a different part of your AV, I guess the hud must be attaching to the same part as you have your AO.

When I did my TP-to-cam thing, I didn't want to rez something to sit on for fear of no-build land, and didn't want to bump into stuff with physical motion, so instead mine gives a choice of mapping, or dumping a URI to chat. I think right now it uses the region name URI, so when you click it in chat history you get a kind of landmark with parcel pic and a teleport button, but I might change that to the app/teleport URI instead, which TPs you directly from the chat history. See http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_URI_Name_Space for more fun stuff one can dump to chat history.

Would the tradeoff with method that be that a designated landing point for the land would trip you up?

"Uchi Does Teleportation Too" just moves you physically and pretty much instantly to the target location, even through walls, within 60 meters.

Oh I havn't tried going through walls, must see if that works. Actually I don't know the range, but last night, I TPcam right to the opposite side of my sim.

From: Love Hastings Would the tradeoff with [the teleport from chat history] method be that a designated landing point for the land would trip you up? Yep. Same with the Map: it's just going to use the regular system Teleport. Argent's super-charged physical movement should avoid both the landing point and the rezzing-on-no-build-land problems. I never tried that approach, just assuming it would get hung-up on rough terrain, but if it can blast through walls, maybe it can tunnel through the earth, or plot a trajectory that glides above llGround().

From: Qie Niangao Argent's super-charged physical movement should avoid both the landing point and the rezzing-on-no-build-land problems. Uchi Desmoulins did most of the software (hence "Uchi Does Teleportation Too"  after seeing Eirinn Overdrive's WarpGate in action. I simplified the user interface and tweaked it to be less aggressive because otherwise it's got a tendency to throw people who get in your way halfway across the sim. It doesn't work through ground and it doesn't create a waypoint avoiding landforms, so you have to do that yourself.
