Hello Residents! Linden Lab wants to create a few "theme packs" to offer new residents, and we need your help! Please drop me inventory items that you've created that may fit one of the following 5 themes:

"Starter Home" Pack
Think: Low-prim house with scripted doors, basic furniture like sofas & beds, security system, fireplace kit, gardening kit, etc.

"Xtreme!" Pack

Think: Sky-diving equipment, skateboard with scripts, snowboard/ski outfit, skate ramp, etc.

"Start a Business" Pack
Think: A slot machine, an outdoor marketplace structure, (help me out with this one).

"Social/Chat" Pack

Think: Gestures & poses, conversation-starting outfits, dance animations, a fire pit for long conversations, one of those keyboards that some savvy SLers use instead of "air typing"... again, help!

"Wack" Pack
Think: Exploding chicken, funny gestures and animations, weird costumes. I have a feeling that this will be a popular category. Bring it on, SL!

Details:

--Each new resident will only receive one pack, so please try to submit all kinds of things (props, vehicles, script-enabled stuff, outfits) for just one category. The Xtreme pack, for example, should include an outfit, some scripted objects, and maybe some gestures and poses--a comprehensive pack that will help acclimate a new resident to SL.

--You may submit as many items as you'd like, including just one. I will check them all out.

--Each item that is selected for the promotional pack will become copy-able but not transferable or modifiable.

--Each item that is selected will be exchanged for: L$2000 and owner credit on the SL website.

--You may submit an item that you are currently selling. It does not need to be original, but you must be the creator.

--When submitting your item to me, please put the "pack type" and your name in the title of the object.

Questions? Email me (lauren@lindenlab.com) for specific questions or post to this thread if you think others are wondering. I will respond.

Rock out!

(Makes a mental note that "post to this thread" doesn't always mean to post to that thread.)

Anyhoo, I think I asked something about the permissions. Things will be set to copyable, but will they be able to also be modifiable and/or transferable? For example, things that are or need to be tintable or even resizeable, or a script that you would want to change the default values.

I made a skateboard recently, and Im currently working on making the bottom image customizable with a template and all. Still working on scripting though.

Any of these theme packs been finished yet? If not, I think I'll try to put together the "extreme sports" pack.
Though is the intention of the items supposed to be for playing with more than just looks?
Like are you expecting a working parachute and a skate board you can grind with.
I was mostly thinking of just making it basicly for looks and sorta just rolling along since animations are hard to do.

Well, the novelty of such items should be more than that of a simple prop. They will get old qucikly.

Ya true, but grinding and things is hard to script. And Im still jsut starting out in SL.
Though the more they do the more laggy they get :P

Though I wonder if a parachute would be too hard to script.

I imagen skis and snowboards would be harder since they'ed have to slide down the ground.
But Im not too sure about it yet.
However I do know I can builid the stuff ^_^
