Anyone else having items simply disappear from their land?

I had a crab disappear from my land. It was scripted and I called him "Sideways". This is not a joke.

It disappeared without a trace. Never got a "your object has gone offworld" message. Never showed up in inventory. Never reappeared. No one else has modify rights and the land is not deeded to a group.

Then I have been hearing from others who are having the same thing happen to them. Anyone else having items disappear from your land? Is this a new bug? Old bug?

Goodbye, Sideways. I miss you so.

How long ago? Some of the continents are big enough that it might still be crawling along =D Or stuck in a ditch somewhere.

He was trained to not stray more than 2.000 in any direction. If he's crawling, it's in a different dimension.

Did you try scanning for it by name with a script? It might have gotten stuck in/under something not obvious.

Hope it turns back up someday .

This is the same thing as happened before. Items picked up disappear from view but are still present ... items just disappearing again ... whee, yippee ... NOT

I once lost a fish the same way you describe.

I couldn't find it anywhere, neither on my land or in the sim nor anyplace in my inventory.

But then a couple of months later [I think it was] I discovered it back in my inventory.
I don't know when or how it returned to my inventory.
It could have been anytime between when I stopped looking for it and when I accidentally discovered it was back.

Now it's happily swimming around again.

The same thing could happen to Sideways

I suspect this particular one is something different. The little crustacean sounds physical to me, and physical objects are inherently unstable--lots of jira entries on the problems, but I'm pretty sure nothing will be done till they upgrade Havoc. So, my guess is that poor little Sideways is stuck in a post-llMoveToTarget() "drift"... and the bad news is that even if he drifts past the edge of the world, his "real" position is probably still back where he started, so he'll never get returned. (I'm not sure which position a sensor would find him at... it might be worth a scan around his last whereabouts to see if the sim still thinks he's there.)

I ate Sideways and he was delicious.

I've had a few things move and do funky things over the past month or so. Sections of a build that moved 2m off their mark - and I KNOW I didn't move it. Also had some sections that had been deleted suddenly re-appear. It is a little freaky, but that is a typical day in SL. Suddenly one day our crab will go missing, then two months later he shows back up again... Think of it as adding a little spice to your adventure

Did you look underground?

Using the CLIENT menu Torley just did a blog post about you would go to CLIENT/RENDERING/TYPES/SURFACE PATCH to turn off the ground.

I had a squirel stuck halfway underground the other day.

I had a bunch of slot machines go poof yesterday.

i have ducks that randomly disappear and reappear. even the pond once disappeared. i have no idea why either.

Yes, I know that trick. He wasn't there. Don't know how to scan for a script though. Thanks to all of you who are giving me hope that I may have crabs again someday.

That would be VIEW/BEACONS/SCRIPTED OBJECTS It will put a little red crosshair on each scripted object.

There are also various freebie script scanners out there.

I hope you get your crab back.

And I noted in another thread that an entire casino and some objects in neighboring parcels disappeared two days ago never to be seen again.

It shouldn't happen anymore, but take a peek around at 0,0,0 in case it migrated there .

I did. No such luck

Just to add my bit, I was adding lights to a house and over a 2 day period they kept disappearing. I kept rezzing new ones and guess what.

I setup the control box up and now the house looks like a Christmas Tree, all the lights are there.....

I lost several walls and a couple of roof sections of my house several days back. Now I hope they don't re-appear..I've rebuilt with a different structure.

Yer...

Parts of our buildings and other creations simply disappeared. Had to recreate them, which was annoying.

I had a baby I was trying to put in her carrier she wasn't rezzing so I just got fed up and went to sign out I came back online and she was gone this sounds almost similar to sideways but she has yet to call out for help or be found by anyone!!!! I don't want to have to pay 1,750 lindens for her I don't have that much anymore and I had to pay 3800 lindens for her and wait 7 weeks. I got the warning about not trying to rez things after she was gone. *Crys* I want my baby back if anyone can help me please do! the things they said on ticket they sent me do didly squat! and I don't think they will be nice and supply me with a new baby

Contact the person you bought it from and explain the situation and see if they're willing to send you a new copy. If the baby was no-transfer you've got a lot better chance of getting it as long as they still have the record of purchase. =)

Avonlea

Have you tried the Missing Persons Bureau?

Did she/he have a feed before they disappeared?

What about diapers?

The poor baby, must in laying in Sh.t upto its eyeballs by now.

Lets hopee she/he has not been kidnapped.

If it is the latter perhaps you could purchase those 16sqm plots and place a picture of your baby there with a reward or something if found...

LOL

Hmm, have any timelords been spotted in your vicinity lately?

I rezzed a hug attachment, right in front of me in world a few days ago, only to have it instantly disappear, on my own land, with anyone able to create objects. My scripting guru friend was right there and immediately did a script scan of rezzed items but the hug was gone. She mentioned that she might be able to get a Linden to "God mode" and return it to me, but that hasn't happened yet.

Also, I keep getting items that belong to someone else returned to my lost and found. Properties say that XYZ (being a person I know) is the creator and I am the owner, but I have no idea what these things are and have never owned anything like them. When I rez them in world, they immediately disappear and I get the "Your objects have been returned from blah blah blah. Such and such doesn't allow objects to be created" (or words to that effect, you get the idea). It's my own land, not group deeded and anyone can create objects on it anyway.

Very weird.
