Self spwaning objects by 'Horatio Havercamp' downing grid.

Yes SIR, officer SIR ;p

lol... Thanks for quoting it, I musta missed that one... Too many posts too quick rofl

What does that mean? How can it not be entirely?

OoOo...they posted a update...jus' an advertisment fer teh preveiw grid, though.They shoulda posted an update fer it being done.

Because the results seem inconsistant.

Sometimes it appears to be height limited. Other times, not.

Plus, control() events still function inside no-script areas. In certain situations.

I am curious why they cant just have the systems go through and simply purge the items that were created by objects with uuids of xxxxx... So, if they could simply see what object started creating hundreds of itself in an area, remove all items created by that object... I may be entirely wrong on that, but I dun see why they couldnt...

You've got that right!!

I owned six worlds in AW at one time. Ended up letting them all go and moved on to other things. Like The Sims, Sims 2, NWN... never played any of them online though. At the time I just didn't have the extra funds to put out on them every month. Then lo and behold... I learn about SL in an email... Destiny must have been at work somewhere along the way. Damn her hide!! LOL

You asked someone to give you the definition of video game. Second Life fits the definition! I wish you would read people's posts.

Maybe you don't like to think about it because you mind is to small, but couldn't it be video games that are evolving instead of a new form of business?

Wait maybe I should stop I don't want to hurt your poor little head.

Well, stray particals sorta lag everybody, ya know? And the Lindens must be havin' some time to see if its workin'. Tiredness is cloudin' my judment. That and boredom. And the want for popcorn. Mmm....popcorn...n00b-flavored! '

god damn that tower was sweet.

That was one thing about AW that was nice. If you owned a world and hosted it from your pc you could still bring it up and build. Only problem was you couldn't save what you built, but at least you were able to work out any problems for when you did build it permanantly and have your idea more firmly fixed in your mind. However, you made your own objects outside of AW and then just uploaded them to your own object path so any downtime was not a complete loss. I have to give credit to Enzo & company... downtime was a very rare thing. And the one or two times AW was down for several days, they did compensate the world owners for it. Ah well... AW has been outdated for many years and I won't be going back except for to visit with a friend once in a while even though I hate being a tourist. LOL

I just went outside. I think the grid is down there too. People wandering around like zombies without any text above their heads. I can't rez anything and I have to script with a danged pencil and paper! Staying inside thankyew.

Nope, because the first thing that happens to new stuff on the 'net is that a ton of little business-proteges have to get right in, and the cogwheels in their heads start turning, perculating up thoughts about "How can I make money from this?" instead of just having fun. That's just my personal thing, even though the whole business aspect is encouraged by LL.. I think SL would be a lot better overall if so many people would tone down how serious they take it.

Plus, even if you guys are SO BENT on having it be your little corporate playground, you obviously know full well what the issues with stability are. Since you know all that, and know full well what you get in to, why do you feel *so compelled* to come on the forums and start up a bunch of blithering verbal diarrhea about lawsuits and corporate legalities? If it upsets you that much, go file the lawsuits already instead of dry-humping all day about it

It isn't a brash assumption when I imply that there are a lot of people on SL who ARE overweight cave-dwellers. It's a pretty well-founded observation. Many of them will even tell you so in their first life profiles.

I asked for proof that SL is a game. Not the definition of what video games are and for the person to dance around trying to equate SL to them. I am over this point, but if you want to continue it, by all means do...

Actually its not. Trying to prove a stereotype is really quite useless.

I wish the advanced search function worked properly so I could find the post I made weeks ago showing what contitutes a computer game and showing that SL does not fall into any of those catagories. Unfortunately, it would be a waste of time anyway since some people are going to continue to blind themselves to the facts. Even Philip Rosedale himself says SL is not a game. *shrugs*

There is no reason on earth that the SL software shouldn't catch stuff like this and prevent it itself. It's so Easy to put limits and rules on the activites that crash sims.

Less so, however, without screwing innocent people over.

it's not a doll, it's an action figure
it's not a cartoon, it's anime
it's not a game, it's my second life!

I have never found them to be inconsistent, it explains the 40 meter limit in the Wiki, they have always worked for me above 40 meters in a no script zone.

The point is anyway, that turning off no build and no scripts would not prevent this type of attack, the griefer mearly has to rez his self-spawning object at 50 meters.

All I did was point out that there are a lot of people in SL who would probably benefit from some outside time. I don't see that as stereotyping, it's just something I've observed.

ROFLMAO!!!

If I were to outside right now I might get struck by lightening or a speeding vehicle. Owning a business kinda sucks when you have to be there 7 days a week , but, then there are the perks like being able to log into SL on the job and not p*ss the boss off. That is when the grid isn't shut down.... LOL

Yes, something you have chosen to observe and focus on. I am sure you could also find alot of socially active people that are fit and in excellent mind and body, if you CHOSE to seek that out. But you dont. You are trying to prove a negative point, and as such are closing yourself off from seeing the "grass on the other side"...

I think you are imagining things. I never said that fat people who don't go outside are a majority, just that I've seen a lot of them.
