A new bug has came up for me lately. I'm not sure what's causing it but when i log any accont in on both of my computers about 65% of the time the camera locks it's self above their head looking down at them while they walk around. i cannot change it either. i ended up having to script a attachment that moves the camera to the right area. I'm going to post my script below incase anyone else is experiancing this glitch. Just place this into a object and attach it. Even though i worked out this little fix, i believe this needs to be fixed within the client. default { state_entry() { llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA); } state_exit() { if (llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA)llClearCameraParams(); } run_time_permissions(integer perm) { if (perm & PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA) { llSetCameraParams([ CAMERA_ACTIVE, 1, // 1 is active, 0 is inactive CAMERA_DISTANCE, 3.0, // ( 0.5 to 10) meters CAMERA_PITCH, 10.0, // (-45 to 80) degrees CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_ANGLE, 0.0, // (0 to 180) degrees CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_FOCUS_OFFSET, <0.0,0.0,1.5>, // <-10,-10,-10> to <10,10,10> meters CAMERA_FOCUS_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_FOCUS_THRESHOLD, 0.0, // (0 to 4) meters CAMERA_FOCUS_LOCKED, FALSE, // (TRUE or FALSE) CAMERA_POSITION_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_POSITION_THRESHOLD, 0.0, // (0 to 4) meters CAMERA_POSITION_LOCKED, FALSE // (TRUE or FALSE) ]); } } }

Were you by any chance fiddling in the Debug Settings?
There is a setting in there called CameraOffsetDefault that governs where the camera is in relation to the avatar by default.
The default X position is negative, but there is a bug in the interface for this setting; when you try to change it gets clipped to 0 and won't get negative again.
If my memory serves this setting doesn't cause an immediate change but takes effect the next time you start SL.
-addendum - I read your post too fast, this probably has nothing to do with your problem at all. ----
Have you tried an uninstall and reinstall of SL?

That could be it. I did copy the settings.xml to the other PC. I remember editing the debug settings once but i kinda wizzed right by that part. Probably still changed it. :/ Thanks hehe. I'l keep this topic here incase anyone else has this problem and needs a fix or likes the script. The best fix is to cut that part out of the XML file or just delete the whole file (in my case being a oldbie i'l just snip that part out so i can keep my favorite settings available).
