hello
my name is timelord. ive been sl for since 11/1/07. and i still dont know how to build or script. even those ive been shown how. still struggle.. my idea is online external graphics and scripting tool which can access through the second life servers .the tool could be used for creation of products from avatars to buildings and more. and could be stored on the servers, and imported onto sl. so it wouldnt breach sl copyright. plus the tool could including templates for clothing.

the tool could be used by experience and inexperienced builders.

A trick to do this

although not having to use a third party tool would be nifty

1 Hit XstreetSL and pick up that inventory backup tool thing
2 hit http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Main_Page and grab a copy of the server
A if you are a programmer type build a toolchain and build the SVN copy
3 setup a "sandbox" server and mirror your SL name (use the backup tool to grab your sl inventory)
4 create your stuff in your private sandbox
5 use the backup tool to grab your sandbox inventory
6 rotate the stuff to your sl account



(note this is highly nontrivial to do and may cause damage if you make a mistake)

HTH YMMV HAND
