Melon Guns Broken with New Update?

None of our Melon Guns work anyone have a work-around? TIA

Wow, they are broken! All the watermelon launchers have missing parts inside. The payload called bump is gone

A friend of mine modded a copy of it long time back so I still have the script that was a part of it. I just tested the modified copy and it works splendidly.

I am not a scripter lol and if you could give me a working Melon Gun in world I would love to have it

Don't have the texture

We could make it a cooperative project though! Anyone have a watermelon texture? It just wouldn't be the same without a good watermelon texture.

Maybe Torley ate them.

watermelon textures

Nooooooo! Not my watermelon gun!

I put a copy of "bump" I had in my inventory into a Watermelon Launcher and tried to fire it in the Morris sandbox and I got a message saying " Can't move object 'bump' to
{ 72.9761, 120.751, 235.276 } in region Morris because your objects are not allowed on this parcel."

I can rez it from my inventory.

And now I've been logged out with a message that the region may be experiencing trouble.

Maybe........



Why not just use Torley's truly free textures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/torley/collections/72157594588432564/ Also available inworld here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Here/45/94/39

There's plenty of choices and some will even make watermelons!

A

Torley. not Torely.

Every typo will be quoted.

Argus, I gave you a bump.

Thanks for that and the reloaded gun from Cerise Sorbet Happy Melon-Wars!! Still need a watermelon looking bump as the Susan one is a bible

Hi! I think the proper action is recovered after serious in-world deliberation with helpful forum people. There's a copy at the Free Bazaar in Stillman, upstairs, south east corner. I think everything is set right with full permissions, so if anyone can make it better please do and let me know, so we can make sure everyone benefits from better melons!

Novikov's self-consistency conjecture FTW!

I certainly did not intend to give anyone a bible. If I did, I apologize.

I think I checked the bump I gave you. I definitely did check one an put it in the gun.

Checking the inventory now - one bump is a melon and the one below it is indeed a bible. I have renamed the bible bump "bible bump". An oddly transparent bible. I have no idea how that happened. 4 and a half years ago one thing people did for troublemaking funback in the days when the only sandbox sim was Cordova, not "Sandbox Cordova", was to cover the sandbox with physical bibles. I imagine there's a connection.

Now Second Life has crashed after just having started up and pulling out various bumps and deleting them.

Now you should have a bump that is a watermelon.

I notice that "Launcher" in the melon gun's name is misspelled.

I can't fire it on my own land. Same message.

So the next thing to try is a private estate.

On a private estate I didn't get the same error message but I got a "object returned because it went offworld" message.

Well, there's a reason not to buy Linden land, you may find some toy you like is outlawed.

In a Caledon sim I am getting mostly object returned because it went off world messages, but I did get one "object not allowed" message like the mainland sims were giving me.

The gun or the projectile may need to be modified a bit. The gun I am using may be one that I have modified to shoot real far.

Thanks everyone. a friend worked it out for me but there is no push on the melons now. I think the bumps were clogging LL asset servers and that is why they are gone

I put out the fixed melon gun launcher as a freebie in my shop (Lathe of Eber). I have another freebie out as well - a rubber ball people can sit inside of and get bounced around with by the melon launcher ... just a bit of addictive silly fun I came up with way back when, and now I finally got around to updating it now that my skills are better.

The back area where the dispensers are is semi-enclosed so that people can play around with the stuff for a bit and not have to worry about messing anyone up.
