How does a 5 day old account get a new never before seen version of a grey goo attack? :rolleyes:

It is clear that griefing has nothing to do with YadNi's place. I have look at the "Danger" scripts package and although it does give good ideas, it is not going to create a griefier.

I ran into this bug myself, but I like many others have given up on bug reporting it.
Should everyone bug report it after every new release?

I am shure running YadNi's is a huge task and making him reduce his land size would make it even harder since he would have to resort to vendors with multiple levels.

How about a spare tier drive?
With the new "group system" people can donate Tier without getting any control.

The only problem is that people can really mess you up if they pull it without letting you know ahead of time.

I dunno, I hate to say it and I almost choke on the words but Dianne has a point.

No, she doesn't!

I just wanted to say that back to her, since she said it about me.

I've reported these strange goings on with textures, and just night before last, I reported it again. I will stretch a prim with the "stretch texture" NOT checked off, and it still stretches the texture. Sometimes it just goes completely wonky.

i see both points of view........if all the freebie places didnt OFFER the weapons etc to newbies who go crazy...well, they wouldnt be using to bomb us out of our home, coz they surely wouldnt be buying...but yes, the Lindens can take action that freebies cant have or whatever......HOWEVER.......... yandi, if You can get me back in SL (see my post re: vid card) i'll be happy to try and report as you've asked..... that's called good business *winks*

YadNi-

I had given up on no-stretch mode, and fondly remember using it for some of my builds. I'll definitely bug report this when I get online tonight.

Best of luck to you in both L's, 1st and 2nd! :D

For me it stretches it either way. the image shakes with it unchecked, but the result is the same.

PS: There is a free gun in the SL library... So everyone has a weppon when they join.

This is a known and fixed issue in a maintenance branch. It has not made it into a Beta Grid yet which we apologize for.

There is a workaround: use the "Planar" mapping mode when Stretch Textures is not checked, and the "Default" mapping mode when it is.

Yay Brent thanks for the update. I was going to say I noticed this when planar was introduced. Whenever there is a new feature introduced that is the first thing I have to try. You would be amazed at how many people didn't know about planar mapping months after it was released. Still it does not seem like planar mapping but looks more like cubic mapping.

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yadni, there are scores of people that are greatful for you and others that unselfishly and at thier own expense set up areas to help others. The same goes for people who create an area of beauty for others to enjoy. Unfortunately in any world, virtual or real there will also always be a******s. Just ignore them and keep doing what is right.

Hopefully there really is such a thing as Karma. If there is then you will be rewarded in your Rl also and you will end up with a better job then you had before. I do have one suggestion for you if you had not thought of this. Not everyone that works for LL lives in San Francisco. In this age of the internet and global community, have you ever applied for working with LL?

Gee, I had doubts about my own post while I was making it but now I *know* I am right.

Coco disagrees with me. :)

To all the Yadni defenders I offended I am sorry.

My only point was you can't run a store that sells poision to children and then just say "Hey, I just sell the stuff, I don't poision people."

My biggest beef is with the simple lack of checking that goes on on items distributed. Someone gave me a texture pack from Yadni's the other day and almost every texture in it was oversized/wrongly sized and destined to lag the hell out of anyone that used them.

When you have such a huge distribution pipe, you should be carefull what you are stuffing down it. Yadni is, or should be, responsible for what he distributes. That is all.

Everyone has their opinions and while I appreciate the service YadNi provides, I also think it wouldn't be a bad idea to qualify some of the items available at the Junkyard.

I needed some full perm clothing I could modify and add to a set of free avatars I was making for an event promotion. Where did I find them? YadNi's! Where was I caged three times by a two day old unverified account newbie in the process? YadNi's!

I can't browse the junkyard anymore. It's worse than a sandbox sometimes. If I see ANYONE else is there I wait and look later or I get what I need and get out as fast as I can. Some of the weapons boxes may just as well be labled "FREE GRIEFER TOOLS!"

btw... that 'Free Gun' in the SL library is a paintball gun. It doesn't shoot you across a sim.

Yandi's is worth it!!

Two months have passed with this texturing bug that does erratic results when you uncheck STRETCH TEXTURES and resize a prim... two months where i couldnt do my work in SL, that is, building sims for people, two months without any income and my money is running low, if this situation is not changed very soon, i wont be able to pay my land fees and the junkyard will have to be deleted.
I was a night receptionnist in a hotel irl, but that hotel s been resold and the night employees fired and replaced by an atm room seller, i need to be able to build in SL if i want to continue paying for it, i have NO other choice.

MY PROPOSAL : Please everyone who reads this and who thinks my Junkyard shouldnt dissapear, build a cube with the basic texture plywood, uncheck the stretch texture option and resize the cube several times, if the texture does behave strangely, please BUG REPORT to the lindens MASSIVELY.

Thanks in advance for your help, hoping it will be useful...


I too have had this problem many times and reported it as well. I'll report again. As a noob over a year ago Yandis was a dream come true. From the Money tree to the Freebies that are provided. Yes, we can go just about anywhere in SL to get all the freebies we want, But I am all for saving Yandi's. I send all noobs that I come across to there if they are asking about how to get free things and I even give them a few bucks to help them get started, to get a few of the things they want. You can always tell a true noob from a griefer. :) WE LOVE YOU YANDI!!

First of all, thanks to Brent for giving us a clue, that s cool and quite refreshing to know things are taken ahold of.

To Dianne, if you only could imagine all the things that never reach the junkyard shelves you would stop barking in the wind. You have NO idea the amount of work it involves and obviously ignore how useful my trash can be. A few things passed through my control? then instead of being stupid, if you know which they are, point them to me by name and help !!! It s always easy to do some noise, speaking words is far more complicated...

And once again for all the others who did bug report and who support me and my work, thanks a bunch, it is wonderful to see such a movement of kindness !!!

I Will check on that bug next time in game. don't think I have ever ran into that.

** and I think I vote yes to Keep your junkyard around Yadni. It helped me alot when I frist started a year ago and I know many others that still frequent your place for stuff. Now that I think of it I might come take a visit and see what's new since I have last been there.

I hope you can find away to stay around and keep all your land.. I hate to see people that add a positive part to SL to go away. I see so much negative in the game lately and it's hard to always keep a happy face on for everyone.


Wish you the best of luck and I will check on the bug and send a report if I see the same issues.

Yadni,
but it DOES sound a bit like "Poor me" to bring up the fact
you dont have a job outside of SecondLife... and that it seems like you
are too lazy to put forth the effort to get one... if that is the only way
you could support what you do in Second Life.


Most people who have business in SL probably have their reasons why they depend on it for USD, and just like any business, we need the love and support of our fan base to continue to grow...

Go Yadni!...

and Go Coca Cola...Mmmm....

Be careful, ol' chap. ;)

From what we hear from Torley's blogs, Lindens are kept reeeeeal busy.

For someone that dedicates a good part of online time to maintaining the junkyard, this could mean having to dole out more time than you got. ;)

Here's a Q... do you do all that yourself, or do you have a group that helps? ;)

May not be a bad idea. ^_^

To Psyra : No my Friend, i have no group of persons helping with the junkyard, it s a One Man s work, me, and by the way, the listings i do with pencil in paper notebook, the inventory of my character arent very "sharable" so i guess i ll just keep it that way =)

And if i ever become a Linden, YadNi will still be YadNi Monde, i dont think they d allow a Linden to have a building business that makes him cash some $Ls even to keep a place like the Junkyard Opened to the Public, so i would more likely make an alt for this French Liaison purpose... If they want me.

Did you see the release notes for the preview grid? It seems they fixed the texture flicker problem on resize.
