The LODs, Level Of Detail, in your objects determine the level of detail shown when you walk toward the object. The Lowest and Low settings are for objects that are quite far from your avatar; the Lowest LOD is for objects in another region, and usable only if they need to be visible from another…
Read moreYou might have noticed that on Second Life, no two promotional or profile images are the same size. It would be nice if the same texture (size) could be used in many situations but no. So I’ve put together a pack of standard image sizes. Also, on my Marketplace, you can find a bunch of…

As a general rule of thumb; web developers and programmers do not give you the kind of powers that would give you an ability to *accidentally* break something. You will have to be a brilliant hacker and coder to be able to go past security protocols and settings, and they sure as heck couldn’t run…
Read moreOh, the bane of my existence! About every day, I accidentally enter a type of editing mode that nobody has ever used in practical word processing: The overwrite mode. NOBODY freaking likes it, I’m sure of it. It is a curse from the New Bit Demons. To clear it: Press the Insert-button. It maybe behind…

I am not quite happy with how difficult it is to derender stuff when you KNOW nobody visiting your land wants to see that stuff. I’d love to be able to give a “touch box” or a parcel experience with “recommended objects to derender,” and it would do so automatically if your visitors choose. But…

While I fit my own scenes quite beautifully, sometimes I feel too small elsewhere on Second Life, even though I don’t usually let…

The easiest and most reliable distance, height, or length measurement method on Second Life is to build a block, then stretch it to the length you need, and check the length of it. Or, build a block of the length you need and match your objects to it. Use the Google unit converter to get…
Read moreYou might run a sim or parcel that is quite mild in content but still contains enough adult material to make you feel compelled to ban 16 and 17-year-olds off it. There’s an easy fix for this in your land’s access tab: The ban lines will appear only for people who are 17 or younger,…
Read moreMany times, things do not need to be complicated to work fine on Second Life. If you have an idea for a simple script, the (free) Con Wylie Script Generator takes care of your basic scripting, formats it all nicely, and saves you time. It’s great. Often, you’ll have to adapt them further, but you’ll…
