Private Land Geography Research

2014-08-23T19:37:54Z

Dil Spitz: /* Water presence */

[[File:Geography Symbol.png|200px|thumb|right|Second Life Geography]]
Private-owned sims are the vast majority of land on the grid. They show a high diversity in Geographic features: land features, ground texture, vegetation and buildings. In many cases, they also have a complex system of skyboxes. But, a classification of these land features is possible and it shows in fact what are the aspirations of the people behind the scene.

Private sims are found in the following places:
*Private [[Subcontinent|Subcontinents]] (attached to Sansara and Nautilus continents)
*Private [[Continent|Continents]] (smaller then the Linden-owned ones)
*Private [[Microcontinent|Microcontinents]] (the vast majority)
*Private [[Sim Cluster|Sim Clusters]] (the vast majority)
*Private [[Sim Group|Sim Groups]] (almost all of them)
*[[Unassociated Sims]] (100% of them)

*Entity orbs: 4.5%
*Skybox limited: 3.4%
*No access: 13.9%

== Observations ==

These results are made after visiting (or attempting to visit) 682 private sims at random with an avatar. Results are calculated based on what was found on each sim. If access was limited, other possible resources were used (like world map). When no information could be obtained, the sim was noted as 'unknown' features.

For ''land fragmentation'', it was important if that is visible. For example, if land is divided but used by the same person, it was not count. Or, if land is used by two persons and it is not a visible separation, also it was considered undivided. In some cases, land separation is done by multiple ways: by water channels and mountains at the same time (for the same separation line or for two different borders). The dominant feature was counted.

Also, for ''Geographic style'', the dominant feature was considered. It is known that a single sim can host at the same time all types of land. The only exception is that a flatland separated by mountain ranges, where almost all land is flat, was considered a plateau, because a plain must be almost completely flat.

At ''Transportation'', the dominant transport way was considered. This, because sometimes in the same sim you might find roads, railways and waterways. In some places, transport ways are only decorative, but were still noted.

At ''Water presence'' all is very clear: water surface was measured.

''Ground texture'' varies from sim to sim. There are a few categories listed here. Please note that there are many subcategories, not listed. For example, when ground looks like grass, it cound be lighter, darker or covered with flowers. Only main categories were listed to avoid confusions.

''Vegetation'' includes the main type found in a sim. It was not required that a sim is completely covered with trees to be listed as a 'forest'. And also, forests are over 95% made of temperate trees. Palm trees only on rare occasions form a forest. So, dominant type of vegetation is of temperate origin, tropical vegetation is second, but only at a few percents difference.

Including a sim in a different category based on its ''Building style'' was the hardest challenge. Again, the dominant feature was considered representative. In the following, each category is explained:
*Advertise (large) - might be a shop or a place for gambling, but not inside a building.
*Advertise (small) - usually found at places set for sale or for rent
*Antiquity - ancient buildings
*Beach style - from wooden to modern buildings, but connected to water
*Exposition - expositions
*Fantasy - as its name say, something out of this world
*Far East & East - Arabic, Chinese and other Asian
*Industrial - as its name says
*Later then medieval - steampunk and related
*Medieval - middle ages and also Western
*Modern - usually modern buildings
*None - no building
*Not quite buildings - statues, fences for animals and other things that are not buildings
*Ruins - as its name says
*Rural - rural communities
*Rustic - buildings in nature, but not rural
*Sci-fi - tomorrow style
*Suburbs - something between a city and a rural building
*Under water - rare, as its name says
*Urban - both dark-urban and towns
*Unknown - no information available.

''Land destination'' is listed as follows:

*Club/party - when a large part of a sim is made for this
*Commercial, not shops - for example a place for gambling
*For sale, rent - as its name says
*Institution - as its name says
*Not used - nothing built
*Private sandbox - rare
*Recreation - this includes wilderness places, decorative things, hangout, expositions and estate protected land
*Residential - all what looks residential
*Roleplay - includes also combat places
*Shops - inworld shops (if they are large)
*Unknown - places that could not be visited and no data is available.

For ''Access restrictions'', only what the visitor avatar encountered is listed. This is better, because it shouldn't be fair to list an entire sim to have ban lines or entity orbs if only a tiny parcel has these restrictive devices. Please note that some places allow a single parcel for access (the tier box). In other places, access is granted, but there is no parcel that allows direct teleport. so, it might be possible to visit a sim from another nearby sim, if they are connected.

Estimated errors are about 5% of each value. For example, if for a category the measured value is 10%, error is 0.5%. At this, an error of 0.2% must be added for any value.

Keyboard mapping

2014-01-15T19:02:33Z

Dil Spitz: /* Format of keys.xml */

<noinclude>{{KBmaster}}</noinclude>

''Keyboard mapping'' refers to the Second Life Viewer's shortcut keys that you use to move, change your view, and so on.

You may want to change the default keyboard mapping for the Second Life Viewer, for example if:

* You're using a non-QWERTY keyboard.
* You want to change how keys respond in {{xref|mouselook}} (first-person view).

{{KBwarning| Changing the Viewer's initialization files can result in unexpected behavior or loss of functionality in Second Life. Proceed at your own risk; Linden Lab will ''not'' support issues that arise as a result of altered program files. ''Always'' make a backup copy before making edits.}}

== Procedure ==
To change the default keyboard mappings, edit the Viewer's <code>keys.xml</code> file.

Follow these steps:

# Find the Second Life <code>app_settings</code> directory:
#* On Windows, it is <code>C:\Program Files\SecondLifeViewer2\app_settings</code> by default (<code>C:\Program Files (x86)\SecondLifeViewer2\app_settings</code> on 64-bit Windows).
#* On Mac OS, right-click the Second Life application package and choose '''Show Package Contents'''. Then, open <code>Contents > Resources > app_settings</code>.
# '''IMPORTANT''': Make a backup copy of <code>keys.xml</code>. so you can restore the original configuration if something goes wrong.
# Open <code>keys.xml</code> in a text editor.
# Change the keyboard mappings as desired.
#* If you want a binding to be consistent between third-person and first-person views, you need to change the same control for both modes.
# Save and close <code>keys.xml</code>.
# Restart the Viewer and test your new controls!

== Format of keys.xml ==

The file has sections that define the key mappings for:
* First-person mode (known as 'Mouselook View' in SL)
* Third-person mode
* Edit mode
* Sitting
* Edit avatar mode

<xml>
<keys>
<first_person>
... ''key bindings for first person mode'' ...
</first_person>
<third_person>
... ''key bindings for third person mode'' ...
</third_person>
<edit>
... ''key bindings for edit mode'' ...
</edit>
<sitting>
... ''key bindings for sitting'' ...
</sitting>
<edit_avatar>
... ''key bindings for avatar editing mode'' ...
</edit_avatar>
</keys>
</xml>

Each key binding has the following format:

<xml>
<binding key="''key''" mask="''mask''" command="''command''"/>
</xml>

Where:
* ''key'' is the physical key ([[options]])
* ''mask'' is the modifier key: NONE, SHIFT, CTL, ALT, CTL_ALT, CTL_ALT_SHIFT, CTL_SHIFT, or ALT_SHIFT
* ''command'' is the command to which the key combination maps.

== Overview ==

Second Life is a wonderful place to meet people, work together on projects, make friends, find partners, and so forth, but once in a while you do get someone who will just not leave you alone, no matter how much you try to tell them that their attentions are not welcome.

== Making FULL Use of the Abuse Reporting (AR) System ==

In order for Linden Lab to make full use of any evidence or reports you send in, please make sure you include all the listed items below. Without this information they are unable to act on or report to authorities or even to ISP providers.

1. Chat log (be sure [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Text-chat-and-instant-messages/ta-p/700155/comment-id/413#Section_.3.1 they are enabled]) complete with date, time, and what region you were in at the time. File each incident as it happens and always include the name of the offender and mention that it is a continual event so that LL is aware that it is ongoing.

2. A list of all Avatars if any that you know of that the offender has used, or you suspect they are using. Be sure to include chat logs or times and places as proof. A he-said she-said will not do.

3. A list of other people who have reported the offender, and be sure to include the AR IDs for EACH report filed.

Once you have filed all the ARs MUTE the offender and all its alts that you are aware of and instruct your friends to do the same. Very important: If you do not you will only be adding to the problem. Stalkers can only be fueled by what is given to them so don't give them anything to use.

Be sure to ban the offender from all land you own. If the offender follows you around in places you have no control over -- AR and teleport away. Do not attempt to say anything or acknowledge a stalker -- that only fuels them. They are opportunists so don't give them an opportunity. Just AR and leave.

Again, in such cases professional legal advice is necessary, either through a solicitor or through your local Law Enforcement Agency (AKA the police).

== General Tips for Online Safety ==

*Don't post private information publicly. Don't give email addresss, phone numbers, and real life adresses to people unless you know them. Be careful, too, of exposing details about your life unintentionally by talking about your family, job or neighborhood.

*Don't give your credit card number to anyone. Remember the old adage, ''if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.''

*If you get threatening message, especially more than once from the same person or someone you think is the same, file an abuse report in-world, or fill out a [https://support.secondlife.com/ support ticket on the secondlife.com site]. You can also authorize them to turn it over to the law enforcement authorities or even to monitor your communication. However, if you authorize them to read your chat, it is advisable that you stipulate exactly what rights you're giving them, how extensively and for how long.

*Do not respond to disturbing communications, whether it's simply flaming or all the way to threatening. There's no fight if there's nobody to hit.

*Always remember that you're in a public place. Be cautious of strangers you meet online. It's just like going to the newsstand, the library or the mall. You are going out in public. It's safer online, in that the contact is electronic, not physical. Online, you can turn off the machine. The person sitting at the computer is always in control unless they choose to make that otherwise.

*'''Remember that your account password is not to be given out to anyone at all, not even to a Linden or one claiming to work for Linden Lab. Lindens will NEVER ask for such information in world or through email communication (they have all this on database anyhow). Abuse Report anyone who is phishing for such information from you under the Disclosure heading.'''

*Always remember that you're in a public place. Be cautious of strangers you meet online. It's just like going to the newsstand, the library or the mall. You are going out in public. It's safer online, in that the contact is electronic, not physical. Online, you can turn off the machine. The person sitting at the computer is always in control unless they choose to make that otherwise.

*'''Remember that your account password is not to be given out to anyone at all, not even to a Linden or one claiming to work for Linden Lab. Lindens will NEVER ask for such information in world or through email communication (they have all this on database anyhow). Abuse Report anyone who is phishing for such information from you under the Disclosure heading.'''

'''Original Post ''' 
I have started this link and/or blog to Help us Novice Sailors in SL as to where in the SL world is the best place for Sailing. What are the best boats? Where is the quality water for sailing? What are the sailing resources in SL? What is the Sailing Community in SL? Are their and Sailing Schools? Instructors? Academies? Navies? :-). I have several boats (errmm "Vessels") both powered and sailing. But my interest lies mostly with sailing. I spent a fortune to find a piece of land which was big enough for a house and water property for a dock for my boats. I thought I was clever enough, by ensuring that my water opened into (or bordered) open government seas. But, I have found I can only sail for a short distance before I hit the proverbial end-of-the-World. I was hoping to Circumnavigate SL and I can't even get out of my Region. Oh well, I digress. Any thoughts, help, or input for the Newbie Sailor?

I have several boats (errmm "Vessels") both powered and sailing. But my interest lies mostly with sailing.

I have started this link and/or blog to Help us Novice Sailors in SL as to where in the SL world is the best place for Sailing. What are the best boats? Where is the quality water for sailing? What are the sailing resources in SL? What is the Sailing Community in SL? Are their and Sailing Schools? Instructors? Academies? Navies? :-). I have several boats (errmm "Vessels") both powered and sailing. But my interest lies mostly with sailing. I spent a fortune to find a piece of land which was big enough for a house and water property for a dock for my boats. I thought I was clever enough, by ensuring that my water opened into (or bordered) open government seas. But, I have found I can only sail for a short distance before I hit the proverbial end-of-the-World. I was hoping to Circumnavigate SL and I can't even get out of my Region. Oh well, I digress. Any thoughts, help, or input for the Newbie Sailor?

Script Vitality plug-in

2013-04-07T21:03:24Z

Dil Spitz:

There are so-called dead areas around SL where scripts are not allowed to run. There are always reasons for the land owner to set their land that way but this can brak some devices. This is a work-around the dead areas. The idea is to use vehicle technology: As soon a script takes avatar control (like vehicle do) the script and all other scripts in same prim keep running.

However, this solution increases lag a few, and must be used with care. Use it only for devices that must '''really''' keep running at any place, and do not use this tecnology already by themselves.

For lag reasons, only the control of the PageUp key is taken (this key is seldom used) and the control event handler is empty, i.e. no code is executed whenever the key is hit. Also the refreshing timer is set on low rate (15 seconds) which makes the script vulnerable agains releasing conrols by mistake, but in most cases the script retakes the avatar control in time before entering dead area.

=Disclaimer=

You can use this script in your project, if commercial or not. If you modify the script, please extend the script header by your name and update notes.

This script is provided as is. Although tested and found as error-free, no responsibility is taken for any misuse of the script, or damage caused by using it.

=Plugin script=

<lsl>
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Script Vitality - keeps the script itself and all scripts in same prim
// running also in 'dead' areas, those areas where scrpts are not allowed.
// This works simply by taking avatar controls. Should the resident click
// the "Release Controls" button, the vitality feature will break.
//
// To prevent this failure, if releasing controls hapened in an 'alive'
// area, i.e. where scripts are allowed, it retakes the control after 15
// seconds. If that hapened in a dead area, there is no option for the
// script to become alive.
//
// Usage: Just put the sctipt in the prim running scripts you want keep
// alive and avoid klicking the "Release Controls" button :) Please also
// keep in mind that this solution increases lag a bit. Every vehicle takes
// controls (it is how they work) and some AOs use also this technology.
// This script is hence not necessary for that devices. Thus, do not simply
// put this script in every scripted device, but check first if the device
// stops working in dead areas, and use this script than.
//
// Dead areas are not for fun no script areas, please respect it too.
//
// This script is universal, You will have to remove parts of the code
// depends on the special script purpose:
//
// * Remove the section [On/Off] (the event link_message) if you want the
// script to run permanently.
//
// * Remove the section [Owner change] completelly if you'l release the
// device without transfer permission. Otherwise remove one of the
// event handlers depend on if the owner always changes while the device
// is not rezzed/worn or not.
//
// More info in the sections.
//
// Author Jenna Felton
// Version 1.0
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

key kOwner;

default {
//--- [Core] -------------------------------------------------------------

// Core section, basical script functionality.

state_entry() {
kOwner = llGetOwner();
llRequestPermissions(kOwner, PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
llSetTimerEvent(15.0);
}

run_time_permissions(integer perm) {
if(perm & PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS) llTakeControls(CONTROL_DOWN, TRUE, TRUE);
}

timer() {
if(llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS) return;
llRequestPermissions(kOwner, PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
}

// This is the magic. Even if empty the event handler makes the script
// to keep the avatar's control. The script itself does not use it.
control(key name, integer levels, integer edges) {;}

//--- [On/Off] -----------------------------------------------------------

// Allows to toggle the script (the vitality) on and off. You can
// remove the event handler if you want the script run permanently.
// If you keep this event, than you can use this code in other
// script to toggle vitality on and off:
//
// llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, -1006192203, "1", ""); // vitality ON
// llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, -1006192203, "0", ""); // vitality OFF
//
link_message(integer sender, integer number, string message, key id) {
if (number != -1006192203) return; // JFSVC

if (message == "1") {
llRequestPermissions(kOwner, PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
llSetTimerEvent(15.0);
}
else {
llReleaseControls();
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}
}

//--- [Owner change] -----------------------------------------------------

// The changed and on_rez event handlers are used to notice the
// owner change of the object. If you plan to make the object
// no transfer, you can even remove both events. Handling the
// owner change is important to keep control of right avatar.
// Please use also one of the both handlers, never both. If you
// are not sure what event handler to use, use the changed and
// remove on_rez event handler.

// The changed event is triggered if the object changes the
// owner, but also if the object changes the shape or the
// inventory or is simply moved to other sim. Use this event
// if the device can be transferred to other avatar while it
// is rezzed inworld, like a furniture or a scripted animal.
changed(integer what) {
if (what & CHANGED_OWNER) {
llReleaseControls();
llResetScript();
}
}

// on_rez is triggered if the object is worn from inventory
// or rezzed. Use this event if you build an attachment or
// another device that is given between avatars or objects
// but is never given/sold while it is rezzed inworld.
on_rez(integer start) {
if (llGetOwner() != kOwner) {
llReleaseControls();
llResetScript();
}
}
}
</lsl>

=How to use=

Copy the code in a new script, use a mono script engine (the script takes less than 16kB memory). The script is universal, so you will have to remove parts of the script later in your real projects:

* You not need the ''On/Off'' section if you want run the script permanently.
* You not need the ''Owner change'' section if you will not give the device away, otherwise
** You can remove the ''on_rez'' event if the device might be sold/given while being inworld,
** otherwise you can remove the ''changed'' section.

=Test script=

The test script also demonstrates how to toggle the vitality plugin on and off. To test the (unchanged) plugin script abowe, create a wodden box and put this scirpt into:

<lsl>
default {
state_entry() {
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
llSetPrimitiveParams([
PRIM_SIZE, <.15, .15, .15>,
PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "e470eec7-0c82-98b2-ac3c-dee6e2b3b4e7", <1.0, 1.0, .0>, ZERO_VECTOR, .0]);

state ON;
}
}

state ON {
state_entry() {
llOwnerSay("--- ON ---");
llSetTimerEvent(10.0);
llSetColor(<1.0, 1.0, .0>, ALL_SIDES);

llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, -1006192203, "1", ""); // vitality ON
}

timer() {
llOwnerSay("--- alive ---");
}

touch_start(integer number) {
state OFF;
}
}

state OFF {
state_entry() {
llOwnerSay("--- OFF ---");
llSetTimerEvent(10.0);
llSetColor(<.5, .5, .0>, ALL_SIDES);

llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, -1006192203, "0", ""); // vitality OFF
}

timer() {
llOwnerSay("--- alive ---");
}

touch_start(integer number) {
state ON;
}
}
</lsl>

Pick the box into your inventory and attach it to HUD. The box will say ''alive'' every 10 seconds and response on touches. Do not use the plugin script yet, but teleport in any dead area. The test script will stop reporting and response on touches, it is dead.

Now teleport back to a place where scripts are allowed to run, klick the test box until it says ''ON'' and put the vitality plugin into the test box. The vitality plugin is running by default, so it is in sync with the test script that is in ON state.

Now teleport back into dead area. The test script contonues running. If you klick the test box now, the test script sends a deactivating message to the plugin script. The script deactivates and the test script stops running.

To reactivate the plugin script, you have to go back to an alive area and click the test box again. Hence, if you want keep the script toggle-able, do not toggle it off in a no-script area.

=== Categories ===
Here's what all the sorted categories for skies in Torley's WindLight Settings V3 mean:

* '''BIG SUN''' - The sun has been exaggerated and would love to shine on your boating expedition. In a few cases like "[TOR] BIG SUN - Good for marriage", the .xml file was modified to go beyond what you can do with the Advanced Sky Editor sliders.
*: [[Image:-TOR-_BIG_SUN_-_Slips_through_walls.jpg|320px|none|thumb|[TOR] BIG SUN - Slips through walls 1 ''(slightly modded)'']]
* '''DUSK''' - Ah, that magic time when the night is young. I like a few of these for mellowing out on [[Here|Here island]], and you might, too.
*: [[Image:-TOR-_DUSK_-_Blue_hour.jpg|320px|none|thumb|[TOR] DUSK - Blue hour]]
* '''FOGGY''' - "AHHH! MY EYES!" Vision is obscured and sliders such as Haze Density and Density Multiplier are racheted up. In particular, try "[TOR] FOGGY - Silent heck" in an already-unsettling town. The name's not a coincidence.
*: [[Image:-TOR-_FOGGY_-_Das_Fog.jpg|320px|none|thumb|[TOR] FOGGY - Das fog]]
* '''HORROR''' - More along the creepy lines, these were inspired by various slasher and suspense flicks. "[TOR] HORROR - Profondo rosso" is ''that'' terror from your darkroom which you never forget. If you make scary [[machinima]] with these, lemme know.
*: [[Image:-TOR-_HORROR_-_Profondo_rosso.jpg|320px|none|thumb|[TOR] HORROR - Profondo rosso]]
* '''MIDDAY''' - And sometimes you want to be normal. Or close to that. The sun is up high and you can see most things clearly. I use "[TOR] MIDDAY - Nostalgika" as my default Midday replacement. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFy-xRWH3yw This tutorial] shows you how to do that.)
*: [[Image:-TOR-_MIDDAY_-_Nostalgika.jpg|320px|none|thumb|[TOR] MIDDAY - Nostalgika]]
* '''NIGHT''' - The moon is out. I did some creative stuff here including using the sun to simulate a faux moon in the cases of "[TOR] NIGHT - Under a yellow moon" and the "[TOR] NIGHT - That spells moon" miniseries . If you want a really dark night, try "[TOR] NIGHT - Nocturne".
*: [[Image:-TOR-_NIGHT-_Under_a_yellow_moon.jpg|320px|none|thumb|[TOR] NIGHT - Under a yellow moon]]
* '''SCIFI''' - Surreal and wild settings for your next fantasy romp or voyage onto an alien planet. A diverse assortment across the rainbow, and the biggest category. Good gosh, I wish server-side WindLight would come around already so these could be fully used.
*: [[Image:-TOR-_SCIFI_-_Blue_sun_warmed.jpg|320px|none|thumb|[TOR] SCIFI - Blue sun warmed]]
* '''SPECIAL''' - Extremely... ''extreme'' settings which mess with the sliders in experimental ways, from lowering Scene Gamma to induce posterization to the self-explanatory-ness of "[TOR] SPECIAL - Use with full bright".
*: [[Image:-TOR-_SPECIAL_-_Threshold.jpg|320px|none|thumb|[TOR] SPECIAL - Threshold]]
* '''SUNRISE''' - Dawn is here again, and some of these could be used as sunsets too — the technical difference is usually in the Sun/Moon Position slider. For an epic wake-me-up, try "[TOR] SUNRISE - Ultimate!" I don't claim it's the best but it sure is ''sweeeet''.

Limits

Dil Spitz: animation length can be now 60 sec.

== Summary ==
{{RightToc}}
The Second Life Viewer and simulators have a division of labor, keeping track of the data that makes Second Life run. The Viewer's job is to:

* Handle locations of objects.
* Get velocities and other physics information, and does simple physics to keep track of what is moving where.

The simulator's job is to:

* Run the physics engine.
* Detect collisions.
* Keep track of where everything is
* Send locations of content to the Viewer along with updates when certain changes occur.

Limits are necessary for all of these components to work together. The list below outlines many of the '''Second Life numerical limits that affect your inworld experience'''. Some of these will likely change over time, so if you spot something incorrect/outdated, please take a moment to update it.

{{KBcaution|1=The scope of this page is focused on Linden Lab's official Viewers, keeping in mind [[Third_Party_Viewer_Directory|3rd-party viewers may differ]]. Cite sources and provide substantiation for limits that aren't provided by Linden Lab. Also, unconfirmed speculation [[Talk:Limits|goes on this discussion page]]. Don't add data without a hard limit, and don't add obscure trivia that doesn't practically affect the general inworld experience.|width=80%}}

== [[Avatar]] ==

* '''Max. # of attachments''' - 38 combined [[HUD]] or body attachments.
** They can be viewed by right-clicking your avatar and choosing '''Take Off''' > '''HUD''' or '''Detach'''.
** With the formal introduction of [[multiple attachments|multiple attachments to a single point]] in Viewer 2.4, you can attach up to 38 total objects, and they can all be attached to a single point.
* '''Max. # of clothing layers per slot''' - 5 (this includes alpha and Tattoo Layers)
* '''Max. unassisted fly height''' - Stable hover at 4096m.
** You can easily acquire a flight attachment to fly high. Also see [[flight limit]] and [[Limits#Navigation|the Navigation section]] below.
* '''Common shoe sizes''' - Most women's shoes are designed for a size 0 (zero) foot. Men's generally scale up to 14.
** You can check this by going to Edit menu > Appearance and clicking on the Shape > Legs tab.

* '''Max. length of avatar name''' - 31 for first name, 31 for last name, 63 in total (including the space).

* '''Max. length of {{LSLGC|Username}}''' - All lower case and a maximum of 63 including the '.'(eg; firstname.lastname)
**Older account user names are a combination of the First and last name in lower case separated by a period(.)(eg; lilmix.pixelmaid)
**Modern user names are a single name(no period)(eg; john1234) - '''Max.''' length is 31 characters
**The {{LSLGC|Legacy Name}}s for modern user names always shows Resident as the last name. So the Max is 40 characters in total for a new avatar's legacy name(including the space and last name 'Resident')
*'''Min. length of [[Display_Names]]''' - At least one script character
*'''Max. length of Display Names''' - 31 characters
**Display Names can include most Unicode script characters, spaces, and some punctuation.

* '''Max. avatar speed''' - 250m/s (with only attachments to assist)
* '''Max. teleport speed'''
** '''Server 1.27.1''' - 10 teleports per 15 seconds
** '''Server 1.27.0''' - 3 teleports per 15 seconds

== [[Group]]s ==

* '''Maximum number of groups you can belong to:''' 42
** Roles within groups are sort of like sub-groups. In many cases, you can use them instead of creating new groups.
* '''Minimum number of members in a group:''' 2
** A group with only 1 person for 48 hours will be disbanded (cancelled). Unless the group owns land.
* '''Maximum number of roles allowed in a group:''' 10 (including "Owners" and "Everyone", which cannot be deleted)
* '''Maximum Group Name:''' 35 single-byte characters.
* '''Maximum Group Title:''' 20 single-byte characters.
* '''Maximum Length of a Group Notice:''' 512 single-byte characters.

== [[Inventory]] ==

* '''Maximum number of inventory items that can be sent in a folder:''' 42
** Folders count as items too. This has more to do with packet size limits than cheeky Douglas Adams references.
* '''Maximum notecard line:''' None, but scripts can only read the first 255 bytes.
* '''Maximum notecard size:''' 65,536 bytes
* '''Number of items in the Library:''' 1,248 as of 2010-06-17

** Verified by [[How_does_the_Library_work|hiding the Library]] and counting the difference.
* '''Maximum number of inventory items Displayed in an Inventory Folder:''' Approximately 10,000.
** This was discussed during [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Simulator_User_Group/Transcripts/2011.03.08] "the folder will load up to the limit number of items, and remaining ones won't show up in the viewer. you still own then, they aren't lost, but they will be hidden until the folder size is reduced."

* '''Terraforming limits:'''
** Most mainland can be raised/lowered by 4 meters (+/-).
** Some mainland cannot be terraformed, including: Bay City Regions, Blumfield, Boardman, Brown, De Haro, Nautilus City Regions, Nova Albion Regions, Shermerville Regions, and West Haven.
** A few, very old mainland Regions like Da Boom have a terraform range of 40 meters (+/-).
** Estate (private island) terraformability is settable to a maximum of 100 meters (+/-) by the estate owner or managers.
* '''Maximum water height:''' 100 meters using inworld controls (mainland limit), 255 meters by using a *.raw file upload.

* '''Miscellaneous estate limits:''' You can have a maximum of 10 estate managers, 500 allowed Residents, 63 allowed groups, and 500 banned Residents.
** See World menu > Region/Estate > Estate tab.
* '''Mainland maximum number of agents'''
** Full region: 100 (Historically set to 40 by LL but this does vary. Some meeting areas have this set to 60 and higher.)
*** Recent server performance improvements make regions with 60 agents in them perform quite well.

** [[Land#Openspace|Openspace]]: 10
* '''Island maximum number of agents:'''
** Full region: 100
** [[Land#Homestead|Homestead]]: 20

== Misc. ==

*'''[https://secondlife.com/currency/describe-limits.php Billing and Trading Limits]''' - Includes [https://secondlife.com/whatis/economy-market.php LindeX] currency exchange limits.
*'''Contacts in Communication > Friends tab ''' - A maximum of 20 simultaneous contacts can be selected to change permissions, remove, or invite for a conference chat.

== Navigation ==

[[File:Max Alt.jpg|thumb|right|435px|'''Height counter error above 2147483647 meters''']]
* '''Absolute height limit:''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2147483647#2147483647_in_computing 2147483647] = 231 − 1 meters, which causes the altitude counter to roll over. Altitudes well below this cause graphics errors probably due to limited floating point number precision.
* '''Highest z-value of an [[SLurl]], that will still teleport you to a positive altitude:''' 2147483583
** This is lower than the ''Absolute height limit'' above probably because of precision issues. Any value higher than 2147483583 would be rounded up to something beyond 2147483647 and thus cause an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_overflow overflow], while 2147483583 will still be rounded down to 2147483520 (see below).
* '''Highest altitude you can teleport to with an SLurl:''' 2147483520 meters

== [[Profile]] ==

Each 7-bit ASCII character is encoded in one byte. International characters might need more bytes. When pasting text instead of typing, you can get in one byte more into each of the below.

* '''2nd Life tab's About field''' - 510 bytes
* '''Picks tab''' - 10 picks with 1022 bytes each
* '''1st Life tab's Info field''' - 253 bytes
* '''Classified tab''' - 100 listings with x bytes each
* '''My Notes''' - 1022 bytes

== Performance ==

* '''Healthy Viewer FPS''' - Generally, FPS above 15 is good. The higher it gets, the smoother. You can check via Help menu > Lag Meter, or for more advanced usage, see View menu > Statistics Bar.
* '''Avatar Rendering Cost scores''' - [[Avatar Rendering Cost|Learn all about it!]]

== [[Scripting]] ==

* '''Height at which scripts reactivate on a no-script parcel''' - 50 m above terrain mesh. Scripted objects that take controls continue to remain active when you fly down or enter a no-script parcel.
* '''Maximum height where scripts can run''' - none, as long as the object remains rezzed or attached.
* '''Maximum script source code size''' - 65536 single byte characters.
* For specific scripting limits, lookup calls in the '''[[LSL Portal]]'''.

Lslurl

2012-06-04T00:39:12Z

Dil Spitz:

==Introductory==
[[File:LSLurllogo.png|300px|right|LSLurl]]
[http://LSLurl.com LSLurl] (domain do not response atm) is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS Dynamic DNS] service focused primarily on the in-world script event, [[http_request]] (Article: [[LSL_http_server]]). LSLurl provides an extensively featured and flexible [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API API] system and the solution to [[LSL_http_server#URL_Lifetime_Limitations|URL Lifetime Limitations]]. LSLurl also provides an online dynamic storage database. Domains and their content can be created, updated, and deleted via in-world scripts. Users of LSLurl are provided with numerous options for customizing their domains. Optionally, API keys are provided to utterly secure users' domains from unwanted access.

===Features===
*Optional API-key security (Viewing and/or editing)
*Permanent domains
*Optional temporary domains (6 hour prune interval)
*Create, edit, delete, and search domains via in-world scripts
*Online storage database
*Automatic URL Parsing ("\n", spaces, ANSII characters, etc.)
*Web-based control panel & account management
*[[#Domain Types|Domain types]]: URL (redirects) and DATA (stores data)
*Unlimited domains
*Unlimited subdomains

'''Future features''':
*Firewall (IP filtering, blocking, etc.)
*Custom sub-domains. Example: http://yourname.lslurl.com/domain

==Getting Started==
--------------------------------------------
'''IMPORTANT:''' Closed beta.
--------------------------------------------
To begin using LSLurl, visit an in-world [http://lslurl.com/ci/index.php/lslurl/terminals terminal]. By clicking the in-world terminal, you will be given a password to use at LSLurl. Log in with your Second Life username and the password given.

===Creating a domain===
[[File:LSLurlUserStats.PNG|left|LSLurl User Stats]] To create a domain, you must first be logged in. Click the 'Create a new domain' link as shown in the image.

[[File:LSLurlCreateDomain.png|200px|right|thumb|LSLurl Domain Creation]]Creating a domain is essentially direct. Simply fill out the creation form and click 'Create'. Sub-domains created via in-world scripts will inherit the settings as the main domain by default.

Note: API keys are limited to 32 characters, and the characters: 'a-z', '0-9', '-', and '_'.

==Domain Types==
Domains are either one of the two types: DATA or URL. DATA is used for text storage. The domain will return the text of the domain's value. URL is used for in-world http servers as a static URL proxy (or redirect) and solving the [[LSL_http_server#URL_Lifetime_Limitations|URL Lifetime Limitation]].

==In-world Usage==
The LSLurl API system is composed of two scripts. The LSLurl API script, and the core script that handles all of the HTTP-related functions.

===Script API===
'''LSLurl API v0.26''' by The Wikifoo
<lsl>//LSLurl API v. 0.26 BETA

string MY_DOMAIN = "test";
string MY_APIKEY = "";
string MY_TYPE = ""; //URL or DATA. By leaving this blank you will not update the type.

string lslurl_cmd(string command,string domain,string value,string apikey,string type) {
/* SHORT DESCRIPTION:
response: response acts like a callback identifier which is used to identify the response from your requests
command: UPDATE_VALUE, CREATE_SUB, GET_VALUE, FIND_DOMAIN, DELETE_DOMAIN ...
url: the domain you're trying to perform an action to. (only the domain name, i.e., 'test' (without the quotes)
subdomains works too, however, you will have to use, 'test.subdomain' (again, without the quotes)
value: whatever value you want to set in your domain

Dil Spitz:

==Introductory==
[[File:LSLurllogo.png|300px|right|LSLurl]]
[http://LSLurl.com LSLurl] (server do not response atm) is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS Dynamic DNS] service focused primarily on the in-world script event, [[http_request]] (Article: [[LSL_http_server]]). LSLurl provides an extensively featured and flexible [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API API] system and the solution to [[LSL_http_server#URL_Lifetime_Limitations|URL Lifetime Limitations]]. LSLurl also provides an online dynamic storage database. Domains and their content can be created, updated, and deleted via in-world scripts. Users of LSLurl are provided with numerous options for customizing their domains. Optionally, API keys are provided to utterly secure users' domains from unwanted access.

===Features===
*Optional API-key security (Viewing and/or editing)
*Permanent domains
*Optional temporary domains (6 hour prune interval)
*Create, edit, delete, and search domains via in-world scripts
*Online storage database
*Automatic URL Parsing ("\n", spaces, ANSII characters, etc.)
*Web-based control panel & account management
*[[#Domain Types|Domain types]]: URL (redirects) and DATA (stores data)
*Unlimited domains
*Unlimited subdomains

'''Future features''':
*Firewall (IP filtering, blocking, etc.)
*Custom sub-domains. Example: http://yourname.lslurl.com/domain

==Getting Started==
--------------------------------------------
'''IMPORTANT:''' Closed beta.
--------------------------------------------
To begin using LSLurl, visit an in-world [http://lslurl.com/ci/index.php/lslurl/terminals terminal]. By clicking the in-world terminal, you will be given a password to use at LSLurl. Log in with your Second Life username and the password given.

===Creating a domain===
[[File:LSLurlUserStats.PNG|left|LSLurl User Stats]] To create a domain, you must first be logged in. Click the 'Create a new domain' link as shown in the image.

[[File:LSLurlCreateDomain.png|200px|right|thumb|LSLurl Domain Creation]]Creating a domain is essentially direct. Simply fill out the creation form and click 'Create'. Sub-domains created via in-world scripts will inherit the settings as the main domain by default.

Note: API keys are limited to 32 characters, and the characters: 'a-z', '0-9', '-', and '_'.

==Domain Types==
Domains are either one of the two types: DATA or URL. DATA is used for text storage. The domain will return the text of the domain's value. URL is used for in-world http servers as a static URL proxy (or redirect) and solving the [[LSL_http_server#URL_Lifetime_Limitations|URL Lifetime Limitation]].

==In-world Usage==
The LSLurl API system is composed of two scripts. The LSLurl API script, and the core script that handles all of the HTTP-related functions.

===Script API===
'''LSLurl API v0.26''' by The Wikifoo

/* SHORT DESCRIPTION:
response: response acts like a callback identifier which is used to identify the response from your requests
command: UPDATE_VALUE, CREATE_SUB, GET_VALUE, FIND_DOMAIN, DELETE_DOMAIN ...
url: the domain you're trying to perform an action to. (only the domain name, i.e., 'test' (without the quotes)
subdomains works too, however, you will have to use, 'test.subdomain' (again, without the quotes)
value: whatever value you want to set in your domain
apikey: your private apikey - only required if you have "require apikey" in read- or writemode.
type: set your urls type to DATA or URL. leaving it blank will not update the type.

Limits

2012-05-14T00:50:08Z

Dil Spitz: /* Land */

<noinclude>{{KBmaster}}</noinclude>
== Summary ==
{{RightToc}}
The Second Life Viewer and simulators have a division of labor, keeping track of the data that makes Second Life run. The Viewer's job is to:

* Handle locations of objects.
* Get velocities and other physics information, and does simple physics to keep track of what is moving where.

The simulator's job is to:

* Run the physics engine.
* Detect collisions.
* Keep track of where everything is
* Send locations of content to the Viewer along with updates when certain changes occur.

Limits are necessary for all of these components to work together. The list below outlines many of the '''Second Life numerical limits that affect your inworld experience'''. Some of these will likely change over time, so if you spot something incorrect/outdated, please take a moment to update it.

{{KBcaution|1=The scope of this page is focused on Linden Lab's official Viewers, keeping in mind [[Third_Party_Viewer_Directory|3rd-party viewers may differ]]. Cite sources and provide substantiation for limits that aren't provided by Linden Lab. Also, unconfirmed speculation [[Talk:Limits|goes on this discussion page]]. Don't add data without a hard limit, and don't add obscure trivia that doesn't practically affect the general inworld experience.}}

== [[Avatar]] ==

* '''Max. # of attachment points''' - 30 for avatar, 8 for [[HUD]].
** They can be viewed by right-clicking your avatar and choosing '''Take Off''' > '''HUD''' or '''Detach'''.
** With the formal introduction of [[multiple attachments|multiple attachments to a single point]] in Viewer 2.4, you can attach up to 38 total objects, and they can all be attached to a single point.
* '''Max. unassisted fly height''' - Stable hover almost 150m above the ground (terrain mesh).
** You can easily acquire a flight attachment to fly high. Also see [[flight limit]] and [[Limits#Navigation|the Navigation section]] below.
* '''Common shoe sizes''' - Most women's shoes are designed for a size 0 (zero) foot. Men's generally scale up to 14.
** You can check this by going to Edit menu > Appearance and clicking on the Shape > Legs tab.

* '''Max. length of avatar name''' - 31 for first name, 31 for last name, 63 in total (including the space).

* '''Max. length of {{LSLGC|Username}}''' - All lower case and a maximum of 63 including the '.'(eg; firstname.lastname)
**Older account user names are a combination of the First and last name in lower case separated by a period(.)(eg; lilmix.pixelmaid)
**Modern user names are a single name(no period)(eg; john1234) - '''Max.''' length is 31 characters
**The {{LSLGC|Legacy Name}}s for modern user names always shows Resident as the last name. So the Max is 40 characters in total for a new avatar's legacy name(including the space and last name 'Resident')
*'''Min. length of [[Display_Names]]''' - At least one script character
*'''Max. length of Display Names''' - 31 characters
**Display Names can include most Unicode script characters, spaces, and some punctuation.

* '''Max. avatar speed''' - 250m/s (with only attachments to assist)
* '''Max. teleport speed'''
** '''Server 1.27.1''' - 10 teleports per 15 seconds
** '''Server 1.27.0''' - 3 teleports per 15 seconds

== [[Animation]] ==

* '''Max. length of animation:''' 30.0 seconds
* '''Min. animation priority:''' 0
* '''Max. animation priority:''' 4

== Building ==

* '''Max. [[prim]] dimensions (non-[[megaprim]])''' - 64×64×64m
** it was 10×10×10m before SL Server 3.0.0 (238864)
* '''Min. prim dimensions''' - 0.01×0.01×0.01m
* '''Max. # of prims in a linkset''' - 256
** It was 255 before SL Server 1.26.
* '''Max. link distance''' - See [[Linkability Rules]].
* '''Max. # of prims in a physical object''' - 32
** If you try to link more, it'll either say "Can't enable physics for objects with more than 32 primitives" or "Object has too many primitives -- its dynamics have been disabled.".
** On server versions 1.38 and below, each sitting avatar counted as 1 prim. From 1.40.2 the limit is only on actual prims.
* '''Max. build or rez height''' - 4,096m
** This is 768m for Viewers prior to SL 1.20
* '''Max. prim name length''' - 63 bytes UTF-8 [[string]]
** Note: This is the same total character limit as avatar names.
* '''Max. prim description length''' - 127 bytes UTF-8 [[string]]
** Note:
* '''Temporary prim lifetime''' - around 60 seconds
* '''Max. number of temporary prims''' - regular_prim_limit - current_regular_prims + minimum(0.5 * regular_prim_limit + 400, 1000)
** From [http://forums-archive.secondlife.com/8/cd/305651/1.html Andrew Linden's February 2009 discussion])
* '''Max. length of hovertext (via [[llSetText]] or [[PRIM_TEXT]])''' - 254 bytes UTF-8 [[string]]

== Chat (text) ==

* '''Whisper distance''' - 10 m
* '''Chat distance''' - 20 m
* '''Shout distance''' - 100 m
** ''Rule of thumb:'' when you're at default zoom ('''View''' > '''Reset View'''), if you can see another person's nametag, they can see your chat. If they're far enough away that you don't see a nametag, they won't "hear" you unless you shout.
** Text spoken as a "Chat" step in a gesture cannot be shouted or whispered
** Text spoken as "Replace with" text in a gesture can be whispered or shouted in Viewer 2 either by putting <code>/whisper</code> or <code>/shout</code> at the start of the "Replace with" text or by typing <code>/whisper</code> or <code>/shout</code> at the beginning of the nearby chat input bar, followed by the gesture's trigger text. (Though, if you do both, or if a gesture with built-in <code>/whisper</code> or <code>/shout</code> is used mid-sentence, the "/whisper" or "/shout" will appear literally.) Viewer 1 does not honor <code>/whisper</code> or <code>/shout</code> and will always send them literally.
* '''Max. length of a chat message''' - 1023 bytes/single-byte characters
** The same holds true for an IM <-> email replies.
*** When the receiver is offline, if they set an IM to Email feature ('''Edit''' > '''Preferences''' (or press {{K|Ctrl|P}}), go to the '''Communication''' tab and check the '''Send IM to Email''' checkbox), it will send offline messages directly to the mailbox connected to your account. When an offline message is received via Email, this message can also be answered via Email again. The length of properly delivered Email replies is limited to 1023 bytes/single-byte characters.
* '''Capped''' - Maximum number of offline messages (involving [[IM]]s, inventory offers, group notices and group invitations) received before messages get capped is 25.
** Senders can't know whether their messages were capped or not.
* '''Email -> IM''' replies can be sent up to 5 days after receiving the offline IM the email is meant to answer.[[https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/features/blog/2007/02/06/im-to-e-mail-return-addresses-changing blog]]
* '''IMs''' are retained on Linden Lab's servers for up to 31 days before being discarded. For example, if someone sends you an Instant Message and the next time you login is 33 days later, you won't get it.
** Torley confirmed this with Kelly Linden.
* The number of '''IMs''' an object can send in one hour is 5000.

== [[Gesture]]s ==

* '''Shortcut key mapping:''' 33 unique combinations, since {{K|F2}}–{{K|F12}} can be used with the {{K|Ctrl}} or {{K|Shift}} modifiers.
* '''Maximum Chat step length:''' 127 single-byte characters.
* '''Maximum Wait time:''' 3600 seconds (one hour).

== [[Group]]s ==

* '''Maximum number of groups you can belong to:''' 42
** Roles within groups are sort of like sub-groups. In many cases, you can use them instead of creating new groups.
* '''Minimum number of members in a group:''' 2
** A group with only 1 person for 48 hours will be disbanded (cancelled). Unless the group owns land.
* '''Maximum number of roles allowed in a group:''' 10 (including "Owners" and "Everyone", which cannot be deleted)
* '''Maximum Group Name:''' 35 single-byte characters.
* '''Maximum Group Title:''' 20 single-byte characters.
* '''Maximum Length of a Group Notice:''' 512 single-byte characters.

== [[Inventory]] ==

* '''Maximum number of inventory items that can be sent in a folder:''' 42
** Folders count as items too. This has more to do with packet size limits than cheeky Douglas Adams references.
* '''Maximum notecard line:''' None, but scripts can only read the first 255 bytes.
* '''Maximum notecard size:''' 65,536 bytes
* '''Number of items in the Library:''' 1,248 as of 2010-06-17
** Verified by [[How_does_the_Library_work|hiding the Library]] and counting the difference.

== [[Land]] ==

* '''Maximum [[Land#Parcel|parcel]] size:''' 65,536 meters²
** Covering a whole region, or square on the World Map.
* '''Minimum parcel size:''' 16 meters²
* '''Maximum parcel name length:''' 63 single-byte characters
* '''Maximum parcel description length:''' 255 characters
* '''Region name length:''' Under Linden Concierge policy, minimum of 3 characters, and a maximum of 25 characters (including spaces). See [[Linden Lab Official:Guidelines for Private Region Naming|Guidelines for Private Region Naming]].
** Rare exceptions exist, like [http://slurl.com/secondlife/Q/128/128/24 Q].
* '''Maximum "NO ENTRY" ban line height:''' is for all options 80 meter. Only the option 'Banned Residents' (named) has a 5020 meter ban line high, which is visible up to a high of 800 meter above the terrain mesh.
* '''Maximum prims in a [[Land#Region|region]]:'''
** Full region: 15,000
** [[Land#Homestead|Homestead]]: 3,750
** [[Land#Openspace|Openspace]]: 750
* '''Maximum auto return value''': Besides "0" (which means ''never''), {{HoverText|999,999|Almost 23 months}} minutes is the highest auto return value.
* '''Terraforming limits:'''
** Most mainland can be raised/lowered by 4 meters (+/-).
** Some mainland cannot be terraformed, including: Bay City Regions, Blumfield, Boardman, Brown, De Haro, Nautilus City Regions, Nova Albion Regions, Shermerville Regions, and West Haven.
** A few, very old mainland Regions like Da Boom have a terraform range of 40 meters (+/-).
** Estate (private island) terraformability is settable to a maximum of 100 meters (+/-) by the estate owner or managers.
* '''Maximum water height:''' 100 meters using inworld controls (mainland limit), 255 meters by using a *.raw file upload.
** Region water height is usually 20 meters, and adjacent regions should have the same water height, or else they will look discontinuous.
* '''Maximum terrain height:''' 255 meters using inworld controls (mainland limit), 510 meters by using a *.raw file upload.
* '''Miscellaneous estate limits:''' You can have a maximum of 10 estate managers, 500 allowed Residents, 63 allowed groups, and 500 banned Residents.
** See World menu > Region/Estate > Estate tab.
* '''Mainland maximum number of agents'''
** Full region: 100 (Historically set to 40 by LL but this does vary. Some meeting areas have this set to 60 and higher.)
*** Recent server performance improvements make regions with 60 agents in them perform quite well excepting the issue described in {{JIRA|SVC-3895}}.
** [[Land#Homestead|Homestead]]: 20
** [[Land#Openspace|Openspace]]: 10
* '''Island maximum number of agents:'''
** Full region: 100
** [[Land#Homestead|Homestead]]: 20
** [[Land#Openspace|Openspace]]: 10
* '''Freeze Time:''' Land owners can [[freeze]] other Residents for up to 30 seconds. Members of land owning groups can also be granted this ability.
* '''Minimum parcel that can be listed in Places or All search:''' 144 meters² 
* '''Minimum parcel that can be listed in Events:''' 512 meters²
* '''Maximum altitude for event listings:''' 768 meters ({{JIRA|WEB-814}})
* '''Maximum heights that objects can be seen on the [[World Map]]:''' 400.005m
* '''[[Classic clouds]] layer:''' Approximately 150-225 meters, although the edges of particles can appear to exceed that.

== Misc. ==

* '''Absolute height limit:''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2147483647#2147483647_in_computing 2147483647] = 231 − 1 meters, which causes the altitude counter to roll over. Altitudes well below this cause graphics errors probably due to limited floating point number precision.
* '''Highest z-value of an [[SLurl]], that will still teleport you to a positive altitude:''' 2147483583
** This is lower than the ''Absolute height limit'' above probably because of precision issues. Any value higher than 2147483583 would be rounded up to something beyond 2147483647 and thus cause an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_overflow overflow], while 2147483583 will still be rounded down to 2147483520 (see below).
* '''Highest altitude you can teleport to with an SLurl:''' 2147483520 meters

== [[Profile]] ==

Each 7-bit ASCII character is encoded in one byte. International characters might need more bytes. When pasting text instead of typing, you can get in one byte more into each of the below.

* '''2nd Life tab's About field''' - 510 bytes
* '''Picks tab''' - 10 picks with 1022 bytes each
* '''1st Life tab's Info field''' - 253 bytes
* '''Classified tab''' - 100 listings with x bytes each
* '''My Notes''' - 1022 bytes

== Performance ==

* '''Healthy Viewer FPS''' - Generally, FPS above 15 is good. The higher it gets, the smoother. You can check via Help menu > Lag Meter, or for more advanced usage, see View menu > Statistics Bar.
* '''Avatar Rendering Cost scores''' - [[Avatar Rendering Cost|Learn all about it!]]

== [[Scripting]] ==

* '''Height at which scripts reactivate on a no-script parcel''' - 50 m above terrain mesh. Scripted objects that take controls continue to remain active when you fly down or enter a no-script parcel.
* '''Maximum height where scripts can run''' - none, as long as the object remains rezzed or attached.
* '''Maximum script source code size''' - 65536 single byte characters.
* For specific scripting limits, lookup calls in the '''[[LSL Portal]]'''.

== [[Textures]] ==
* '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio Aspect ratios]''' of profile, place, etc. pictures — all of these were measured at UI size (Edit menu > Preferences > General tab > UI Size) = 1.000:

(official Viewer up to 1.23.5, most [[Alternate viewers|Third Party Viewers]])
* '''Search > All for "Classifieds", "People", and "Places"''' - 4:3 (256×192 pi×els)
* '''Search > Places and Classified tabs''' - ~7:5 (398×282 pixels)
* '''Search > Land tab''' - ~7:5 (358×252 pixels)
* '''Profile > 2nd Life tab''' - ~4:3 (178×133 pixels)
* '''Profile > Picks tab''' - 16:9 (288×162 pixels)
* '''Profile > 1st Life tab''' - 1:1 (133×133 pixels)
* '''Profile > Classifieds tab''' - ~3:2 (206×137 pixels)
* '''Profile > Web tab''' - 1:1 (400×400 pixels)
** A scrollbar uses 15 pixels on the right-hand side.
* '''About Land > Options tab''' - ~3:2 (178×117 pixels)
* '''Group Information > General tab's "Group Insignia"''' - 1:1 (126×126 pixels)
** Some of these textures are shared (for example, Search > All place pages, Search > Places, and About Land > Options use the same image), so you should pick a well-balanced ratio and size.
** [[Texture_aspect_ratios|Learn how to get correct texture aspect ratios when editing images.]]

=== 2.x Series Viewers ===

* '''Search > Classifieds thumbnail''' - 4:3 (60×45 pixels)

** All Second Life textures are constrained to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_2 powers of 2] (e.g., 128, 256, 512).
** Some textures inworld have a resolution as high as 2048×2048; this is due to a previous limit that was higher.
** We strongly recommend you use as small textures as possible because larger ones consume more memory and take substantially longer to load.

Dil Spitz: removed the dead linked page Keyboard shortcut keys

{{Help|Viewer=*}}
This page contains a comprehensive list of keyboard shortcut keys in the Second Life Viewer, even ones that are rarely used.

For a list of only the most commonly-used keyboard shortcut keys, see 'Viewer 3.2 Keyboard Shortcuts'. For consideration of new shortcuts, look at [[Shortcuts SL-UX]] to minimize trouble in different operating systems.

Different ways to do the same thing

2010-09-15T22:40:48Z

Dil Spitz: /* Camera controls */

{{KBmaster}} {{TOCright}}
'''There are often "different ways to do the same thing" in Second Life, or in other words, various paths to one goal.''' For example, a newcomer may prefer using the mouse to clicking menu options, but when you know there are keyboard shortcuts — which "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_user power users]" generally prefer — you can graduate to those. Here are some quick examples and check out the [[#See also|"See also" links to more info]] at the bottom.

{{KBtip|The below video shows Mac shortcuts, but you can easily "translate" to PC shortcuts. [[PC and Mac shortcut key differences|See "PC and Mac shortcut key differences".]]}}

: {{KBvideo|NRrUxXplmuY|640|385|type=youtube}}

== Right-clicking ==

A simple rule of thumb: ''right-click everywhere''. You may discover quicker access to options you normally would have to travel further for. Here's a video that readily illustrates this:

: {{KBvideo|vV6fRuPpO2k|640|505|type=youtube}}

{{KBtip|If you're on an older Mac, [[PC_and_Mac_shortcut_key_differences|as explained here]], you should get a multi-button mouse, which will save you the pain of repeatedly {{K|Cmd}}-clicking.}}

== Menus ==

Many menu items, especially broadly useful ones, have keyboard shortcuts listed next to them. These shortcuts differ depending on your operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Keyboard shortcuts that are single letters (for example, {{k|G}} for '''Build''' > '''Options''' > '''Snap to Grid''') only work if inworld — instead of the chat bar — has focus. Press {{k|Esc}} or simply click inworld, like near your avatar, to give inworld focus.

== Sidebar ==

Most of the sidebar stuff can be accessed through the top bar and context menu:

* Most of the sidebar tabs' menu equivalents are in the '''Me''' menu. For example, '''Me''' > '''My Profile''' does the same thing as clicking the '''My Profile''' sidebar tab.
* Right-click your avatar to show some of the same sidebar tab options.

== Movement controls ==

In the Viewer's user interface, there's the '''Move''' controls. All of these have keyboard equivalents, which is the more common usage. Advanced users can [[remap keys]].

{| {{KBtable}}
|- {{KBtablehead}}

| align="center" | {{k|A}}

|-
| Turn right (strafe left in {{xref|mouselook}})
| align="center" | {{k|→}}
| align="center" | {{k|D}}

|-
| Move left
| align="center" | {{k|Shift}} {{k|←}}
| align="center" | {{k|Shift}} {{k|A}}

|-
| Move right
| align="center" | {{k|Shift}} {{k|→}}
| align="center" | {{k|Shift}} {{k|D}}

|-
| Run left
| align="center" | {{k|Shift}} tap tap {{k|←}}
| align="center" | {{k|Shift}} tap tap {{k|A}}

|-
| Run right
| align="center" | {{k|Shift}} tap tap {{k|→}}
| align="center" | {{k|Shift}} tap tap {{k|D}}

|-
| Jump
| align="center" | tap {{k|Page Up}}
| align="center" | tap {{k|E}}

|-
| Fly up
| align="center" | hold {{k|Page Up}}
| align="center" | hold {{k|E}}

|-
| Fly down (or crouch, when on the ground)
| align="center" | hold {{k|Page Down}}
| align="center" | hold {{k|C}}

|}

If You want to change the walking path while walking You could press and hold the left mouse button on Yourself and press {{k|↑}} or use most other direction keys described in combination.

If you want the arrow keys to ''always'' move your avatar (in other words, the arrow keys won't move the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_beam I-beam cursor] when it's in the chat bar and certain other places):

# Choose '''Me''' menu > '''Preferences'''.
# Click the '''Advanced''' tab.
# Check '''Arrow keys always move me'''.
# Click '''OK'''.

== Camera controls ==

In the Viewer's user interface, there's the '''Camera''' controls. Like '''Move''', all camera controls have keyboard equivalents. These shortcuts are more complicated than movement controls because they require pressing several keys (and/or the left mouse button) simultaneously, so there's a healthy proportion of Residents using one way or the other — or both.

Another variant of the camera controls is found in '''Build''' menu > '''Focus Tool''', where the keyboard shortcuts are different because of the following subtleties in build mode:

* Only mouse-inclusive shortcuts will work because the build tools' fields have focus.
* You don't need to hold down {{k|Alt}}.
* If you prefer, you can simply click '''Zoom''', '''Orbit''', or '''Pan''' and not have to use any keys.

For example, to orbit up in build mode, instead of {{k|Alt|Ctrl|↑}}, you do {{k|Ctrl|↑}} + hold left mouse button and drag up.

Different ways to do the same thing

2010-09-15T22:32:25Z

Dil Spitz: /* Movement controls */

{{KBmaster}} {{TOCright}}
'''There are often "different ways to do the same thing" in Second Life, or in other words, various paths to one goal.''' For example, a newcomer may prefer using the mouse to clicking menu options, but when you know there are keyboard shortcuts — which "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_user power users]" generally prefer — you can graduate to those. Here are some quick examples and check out the [[#See also|"See also" links to more info]] at the bottom.

{{KBtip|The below video shows Mac shortcuts, but you can easily "translate" to PC shortcuts. [[PC and Mac shortcut key differences|See "PC and Mac shortcut key differences".]]}}

: {{KBvideo|NRrUxXplmuY|640|385|type=youtube}}

== Right-clicking ==

A simple rule of thumb: ''right-click everywhere''. You may discover quicker access to options you normally would have to travel further for. Here's a video that readily illustrates this:

: {{KBvideo|vV6fRuPpO2k|640|505|type=youtube}}

{{KBtip|If you're on an older Mac, [[PC_and_Mac_shortcut_key_differences|as explained here]], you should get a multi-button mouse, which will save you the pain of repeatedly {{K|Cmd}}-clicking.}}

== Menus ==

Many menu items, especially broadly useful ones, have keyboard shortcuts listed next to them. These shortcuts differ depending on your operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Keyboard shortcuts that are single letters (for example, {{k|G}} for '''Build''' > '''Options''' > '''Snap to Grid''') only work if inworld — instead of the chat bar — has focus. Press {{k|Esc}} or simply click inworld, like near your avatar, to give inworld focus.

== Sidebar ==

Most of the sidebar stuff can be accessed through the top bar and context menu:

* Most of the sidebar tabs' menu equivalents are in the '''Me''' menu. For example, '''Me''' > '''My Profile''' does the same thing as clicking the '''My Profile''' sidebar tab.
* Right-click your avatar to show some of the same sidebar tab options.

== Movement controls ==

In the Viewer's user interface, there's the '''Move''' controls. All of these have keyboard equivalents, which is the more common usage. Advanced users can [[remap keys]].

| align="center" | hold {{k|E}}

|-
| Fly down (or crouch, when on the ground)
| align="center" | hold {{k|Page Down}}
| align="center" | hold {{k|C}}

|}

If You want to change the walking path while walking You could press and hold the left mouse button on Yourself and press {{k|↑}} or use most other direction keys described in combination.

If you want the arrow keys to ''always'' move your avatar (in other words, the arrow keys won't move the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_beam I-beam cursor] when it's in the chat bar and certain other places):

# Choose '''Me''' menu > '''Preferences'''.
# Click the '''Advanced''' tab.
# Check '''Arrow keys always move me'''.
# Click '''OK'''.

== Camera controls ==

In the Viewer's user interface, there's the '''Camera''' controls. Like '''Move''', all camera controls have keyboard equivalents. These shortcuts are more complicated than movement controls because they require pressing several keys (and/or the left mouse button) simultaneously, so there's a healthy proportion of Residents using one way or the other — or both.

*keep all alphabetic sorted
*fill up 'Places to sail',
**start point for sailing,
**routes,
**Groups,
**<del>Yacht clubs</del>
*under vessels, alphabetic order of SL shipyard (slURLs)

Due this should be a informative wiki and less advertising the general sort order must be alphabetically.

'''Original Post ''' 
I have started this link and/or blog to Help us Novice Sailors in SL as to where in the SL world is the best place for Sailing. What are the best boats? Where is the quality water for sailing? What are the sailing resources in SL? What is the Sailing Community in SL? Are their and Sailing Schools? Instructors? Academies? Navies? :-). I have several boats (errmm "Vessels") both powered and sailing. But my interest lies mostly with sailing. I spent a fortune to find a piece of land which was big enough for a house and water property for a dock for my boats. I thought I was clever enough, by ensuring that my water opened into (or bordered) open government seas. But, I have found I can only sail for a short distance before I hit the proverbial end-of-the-World. I was hoping to Circumnavigate SL and I can't even get out of my Region. Oh well, I digress. Any thoughts, help, or input for the Newbie Sailor?

Debug Settings

2010-07-03T16:42:46Z

Dil Spitz: added a 'bugs' section

{{Help|Viewer=*|BugFixes=*}}__NOTOC__{{ArticleTOC}}

== Overview ==
Access debug settings from [[Advanced menu]] > Debug Settings. The debug settings include unsupported hidden features that are not exposed in the standard user interface, in addition to settings that are exposed through the Preferences window.

Most of the setting values persist between sessions, but some are not persistent.

=== See also ===

* [[How_preferences_work]]

* [[Preferences Window Guide|Preferences Window Guide]]

* Some of the [[Video Tutorials]] in the ''tech'' category cover debug settings.

* tentative listing of Debug Settings in Viewer 2 Beta: [[User:Opensource_Obscure/Debug_Settings-Viewer2]]

== Settings reference ==
Because of the very large number of these settings, they are divided in the following tables alphabetically to make them more manageable.

This information was dervied from the <code>app_settings/settings.xml</code> file of Viewer 1.21.6.

Be nice when possible and helpful.

The ultimative '''"Don't"''' is never ever click on moving vessels! That would stop them and may the sailor make forget the "Do's".

'''Original Post ''' 
I have started this link and/or blog to Help us Novice Sailors in SL as to where in the SL world is the best place for Sailing. What are the best boats? Where is the quality water for sailing? What are the sailing resources in SL? What is the Sailing Community in SL? Are their and Sailing Schools? Instructors? Academies? Navies? :-). I have several boats (errmm "Vessels") both powered and sailing. But my interest lies mostly with sailing. I spent a fortune to find a piece of land which was big enough for a house and water property for a dock for my boats. I thought I was clever enough, by ensuring that my water opened into (or bordered) open government seas. But, I have found I can only sail for a short distance before I hit the proverbial end-of-the-World. I was hoping to Circumnavigate SL and I can't even get out of my Region. Oh well, I digress. Any thoughts, help, or input for the Newbie Sailor?

Dil Spitz: /* Was bedeuten diese Abkürzungen ? */

{{Help/de
|Parent=Second Life FAQ

}}

Wenn Sie neu in Second Life sind, finden Sie hier Antworten zu den am Häufigsten gestellten Fragen. Wenn Sie schon ein Veteran sind, dann halten Sie bitte diese Informationen für neue Bewohner bereit.

*[[Wie kann ich Geld verdienen?]]
*[[Wie man SL schneller machen kann|Warum ist es so langsam ?]]
*[[Wie entferne ich etwas von meinem Avatar?|Wie entferne ich etwas von meinem Kopf ? (oder einem anderen Körperteil)]]

*[[Wie benutzt man Verkaufsautomaten?]]

== Ich habe Kleidung gekauft, aber alles was ich sehe ist eine Box. Wie trage Ich die Kleidung ? ==

Manchmal wird Kleidung in Boxen verkauft, welche es erforderlich machen, dass Sie diese öffnen um an den Inhalt zu gelangen. Wenn Sie Kleidung kaufen, die in einer Box geliefert wird, müssen Sie diese Kleidungsstücke bevor Sie diese tragen können aus der Box in ihr Inventar transferieren.

Um Ihre Produkte aus der Box zu erhalten, befolgen Sie die folgenden Schritte:
# Begeben Sie sich in ein Gebiet wo Sie bauen können (d.h. nobuild ist nicht aktiviert und die "Bauen" ("Build") Schaltfläche ist nicht grau hinterlegt), da Sie das Objekt rezzen müssen um damit interagieren zu können - dies ist nicht möglioch, wenn die Box in Ihrem Inventar verbleibt.
# Suchen Sie nach dem Objekt das Ihnen beim Einkauf gegeben wurde, und rezzen Sie es in die Welt indem Sie es bei gedrückter Maustaste aus Ihrem Inventar auf eine sichtbare Oberfläche in der Welt ziehen. Idealerweise sollte diese Oberfläche der Boden sein, aber nichts hält Sie davon ab Ihre Produkte gegen Wände zu rezzen, an die Decke, oder nehmen Sie ein Objekt in dern Nähe zur Hilfe!
#Klicken Sie die Box mit der rechten Maustaste, und wählen Sie "Öffnen" ("Open") aus dem ersten Torten-Menü das sich öffnet.
#Diese Aktion wird ein "Objektinhalte" ("Object Inventory") Fenster öffnen, welches eine "In Inventar kopieren" ("Copy to Inventory") und eine "Kopieren und anziehen" ("Copy And Wear") Schaltfläche zeigt.
#"In Inventar kopieren" ("Copy to Inventory") wird dies tun: alles aus der Box wird in einen neuen Ordner in Ihrem Inventar kopiert, der Ordner trägt den Namen der Box damit er später leichter zu finden ist, (HINWEIS: Gelegentlich finden Sie Objecte die als "no copy" gekennzeichnet sind in einer Box. 'Copy to Inventory' wird auch hier die Gegenstände in ihr Inventar transferieren, aber Sie bekommen einen Warnhinweis, dass die als NO COPY gekennzeichneten Gegenstände in Ihr Inventar Verschoben werden.) Wenn Sie diese Schaltfläche verwenden werden alle Objekte den Ordner in Ihr inventar transferiert und Sie können Sie tragen wann es Ihnen recht ist.
#"Kopieren und anziehen" ("Copy And Wear") ist das gleiche wie die vorige Funktion mit dem einzigen Unterschied das hier auch versucht wird die Kleidung Ihrem Avatar anzuziehen. Das Resultat hängt hierbei vom jeweiligen Inhalt der Box ab. (Es wird geraten diese Option mit gewisser Vorsicht zu verwenden, besonders bei Freebie-Boxen und Objekten die grundsätzlich nicht dazu gedacht sind, von Avataren getragen zu werden. Unvorsichtiger Umgang mit dieser Option hat schon das "box-on-head" Syndrom hervorgerufen (eine Box wird auf dem Kopf getragen), box-handing (Boxen an beiden Händen) verursacht, und schon zu anderen störenden und peinlichen Ereignissen in Bezug auf das Geschlecht geführt --[[User:Patchouli Woollahra|Patchouli Woollahra]] 00:00, 21 January 2007 (PST))

== Wie werde ich ein Landbesitzer ? ==

Hinter dem Besitz von Land stehen generell zwei Konzepte -- der Kauf und die laufenden Instandhaltungskosten. Der Prozess des Landerwerbs bleibt immer der gleiche, egal ob es sich um Mainland handelt oder um eine private island sim (Private Insel), aber es gibt Unterschiede zwischen der Instandhaltungsgebühr vom mainland und der Instandhaltungsgebühr auf private islands, sowie dem Erwerb von gesamten private islands, worauf später eingegangen wird.

===Warum muss ich zahlen um Land zu besitzen?===

Sie können sich die Ersteller von Second Life - Linden Lab - als einen "3D Dienstleister" vorstellen. Ihre Aufgabe ist es ein "grid" zu betreiben welches aus tausenden von Computern besteht (welche Regionen mit der Größe von 256x256m hosten). Stellen Sie sich diese als 3D Web Server vor. "Land" ist nur eine abstrakte Darstellung von Festplattenspeicherplatz, CPU Belastubg, und Bandbreite. Je mehr Resourcen Sie benötigen, desto größer ist ihr "Land". Dies ist das gleiche Konzept wie bei Websites und höheren Kosten für mehr MegaBytes an Speicherplatz, oder mehr GigaBytes and Bandbreite je Monat, u.s.w. je mehr Resourcen Sie verwenden, desto mehr müssen Sie dafür zahlen.

Erinnern Sie sich daran, dies ist die Art wie LindenLab Geld verdient, gemessen daran das ein Basic Account kostenlos ist und Sie nichts für die Zugangssoftware, den Second Life Viewer, zahlen müssen. Wenn Sie es kategorisch nicht wünschen je eine Zahlung an LindenLab durchzuführen können Sie Land von anderen Bewohnern mieten -- diese stellen Ihnen einen gewissen L$-Betrag pro Woche in Rechnung und erlauben Ihnen dann auf ihrem Land Geschäfte oder ein zu Hause zu errichten. Sie müssen kein Land besitzen um Second Life zu genießen, obwohl LindenLab darauf hofft Sie zum Landkauf zu begeistern, so dass die Programmierer besser bezahlt werden können um bessere Features zu programmieren, schnellere Server installiert werden können um das Grid zu betreiben, und so weiter :)

=== Erwerb ===

==== Generelles zum Landerwerb ====
Der Landerwerb verursacht einmalige Kosten die fällig werden sobald Sie Land für sich beanspruchen(kaufen).

Sie können Land von anderen Bewohnern kaufen, indem Sie die "Suchen"-Schaltflläche ""Search") im unteren Bildschirmbereich klicken und dann den "Landverkauf"-Tab ("Land Sales") auswählen. Oder Sie können neues Land auf einer Second Life Auktion erstehen, die Autkionen finden sie hier http://secondlife.com/auctions

Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie die Preise von zur Verfügung stehendem Land mit denen der Auktionen vergleichen. Im Regelfall werden Sie feststellen, dass die Preise bei den Auktionen günstiger sind, da das in-world bereitstehende Land zumeist schon durch die Vornutzung im Preis teurer ist.

Um ein Stück Land zu erwerben, dass verfügbar ist, müssen Sie sich zuerst auf das Land begeben, dann klicken Sie mit der rechten Maustaste auf das Land (drücken Sie 'P' um die Grundstücksgrenzen anzuzeigen), wählen Sie "Land Info" ("About Land"). Wenn Sie die Angaben überprüft haben und sich sicher sind, dass sie das Land erwerben möchten, betätigen Sie die "Land Kaufen" Schaltfläche ("Buy Land") um das Land zu erwerben.

==== Erwerb von Boden auf dem Mainland ====
Bevor Sie auf dem Mainland Land erwerben können, ist es notwendig, dass Sie bei LindenLab eine Zahlungsmethode hinterlegt haben. Dies ermöglicht es LindenLab die notwendig Transaktionen durchzuführen, um die Instandhaltungsgebühren für Ihr Land einzuziehen. Sollten vor dem Kauf Sie noch kein Land auf dem mainland von Second Life besessen haben, wird Linden Labs Sie weiter darauf hinweisen, dass Sie einen Premium Account benötigen, um Teile vom Mainland besitzen zu können. Linden Lab wird Sie weiter darüber informieren, dass sich unter Umständen ihre monatliche Tier erhöht.

==== Landerwerb auf Private Islands ====
Alle Private Islands erlauben es Ihren Eignern einen Vertrag ("Covenant") festzulegen: eine Notecard die zu den Second Life ToS und Community Standards weitere Regeln hinzufügt, welche der Käufer befolgen muss, wenn er Land auf dem Private Island besitzen möchte. Diese Verträge können eingesehen werden, indem man mit der rechten Maustaste auf den Grund der Parzelle die Sie zu erweben wünschen klickt (wirklicher Boden - keine auf Prims basierenden Bodenabdeckungen!), dann im Torten-Mnü "Land Info" auswählt und den "Vertrag"-Tab einsieht. Es ist von absoluter Dringlichkeit, dass Sie den jeweiligen Vertrag vor dem Erwerb sorgfältig lesen, da jeder Vertrag Regeln beinhält, die es dem Private Island Besitzer erlauben das Land ohne Rückerstattung zurück in seinen Besitzt zu nehmen wenn es zu einen erheblichen Verstoß oder wiederholten Verstößen der im Vertrag festgelegten Regeln kommt! Häufig sind diese Private Island mit leicht strengeren Regeln als in den ToS und CS festgelegt versehen, welches dazu dient ein gewisses Thema zu wahren oder eine Dienstleistung bestmöglich anzubieten.

==== Erwerb von Private Islands ====
Der Erwerb von Private Islands setzt einen Premium Account voraus oder eine vorherige Absprache über die Zahlungsmodalitäten mit Linden Lab ist nötig, und kann im [https://secure-web6.secondlife.com/apps/mapapps/buy Land Store] durchgeführt werden (SL Benutzerkonto erforderlich).
Beim Login in den Land Store öffnet sich eine Karte des Grid, welche Ihnen Auskunft darüber gibt, welche Teile des Grid für neue Inseln zu Verfügung stehen. Durch klicken auf einzelne Regionen des Grid können einzelne Plätze mit einer Reservierung gesichert werden. Bitte besuchen Sie den Land Store um Informationen über die jeweiligen Kosten zu erhalten.

==Instandhaltungskosten==
Die Instandhaltungskosten sind davon Abhängig, ob sich das Land auf dem Mainland befindet oder auf einem Private Island.

=== Instandhaltungskosten auf dem Mainland ===
Für Grundbesitz auf dem Mainland, sind die Instandhaltungskosten die monatliche Zahlung die Sie an LindenLab durchführen, diese ist vom maximalen Landbesitz in der Abrechnungsperiode (dem jeweiligen Monat) abbhängig. Das heißt Sie zahlen für den größten Landbesitz den Sie in einem Monat hatten, selbst wenn Sie im Verlauf des Monats Land verkaufen und somit die monatlichen Kosten sinken würden.

Ein Premium Account gibt Ihnen das Recht auf kostenfreie Instandhaltung von 512m², deckt jedoch nicht die Kosten für den Landerwerb ab.

Wenn sie mehr Land als die 512m² welche Sie mit der Premium Mitgliedschaft erhalten, oder wenn Sie einen einfache Mitgliedschaft haben und etwas Land besitzen möchten, können Sie die der dem Kaufwunsch entsprechende "land tier" auswählen, Sie müssen dann eine "land tier" auf https://secondlife.com/account/landfees.php einsehen. Land Tiers errechnen sich von einer Landgröße von 512m² bis zu 65,536m² (eine ganze Region).

Bitte beachten Sie, dass Sie im regelfall Ihre Tier mit realem Geld bezahlen, wenn Sie ein Grundstück erworben haben und das null-Tier Limit überschritten wird, so werden die jeweiligen Kosten mit Ihrer Zahlung des Abonnements abgebucht.

=== Private Island Instandhaltungskosten ===
In Bezug auf die monatlichen Kosten unterscheidet sicher der Erwerb von Land auf Private Islands von dem Landerwerb auf dem Mainland. Wenn Sie der Besitzer des Private Island (auch genannt "estate owner") sind, dann zahlen Sie einen festgelegten monatlichen Betrag an Linden Lab. Wenn Sie Lind von einem Estate Owner, dem Inhaber eines Private Islands, gekauft haben, dann wird keine monatliche Instandhaltungsgebühr gegenüber Linden Lab fällig, aber Sie müssen einen vom Private Island Besitzer festgelegten Betrag an diesen Entrichten (Ausnahme: der Estate Owner ist überaus großzügig).

Die Besitzer eines Private Islands zahlen zur Zeit eine monatliche Gbühr in Höhe von $295 pro Insel an Linden Labs (Stand: Februar 2008). Buildungsträger und profitlose Organisationen die eine Estate besitzen zahlen $150 pro Insel. Der Besitz eines Private Island hat keinen Effekt auf die Tier-zahlungen die für Landbesitz auf dem Mainland gelten. Weiter hat Ihre Tier für Mainland Land keinen Einfluss auf Ihre Private Island Gebühren. Schauen Sie stets auf der [http://secondlife.com/whatis/landpricing.php Official Land Pricing] Website nach, um Auskunft über die neuesten Gebühren zu erhalten. Estate Owner legen die Gebühren für Personen die bei ihnen Land kaufen selber gest. Abhängig von den Bedürfnissen des Estate owners, kann Ihre Tier an diesen direkt, entweder in L$ bezahlt werden oder in US$ unter der Verwendung einer externen Bezahlmethode wie PayPal. Oft werden diese Gebühren auf dem für das Land gültigen Covenant angezeigt, oder auf einer Website die im Covenant bekanntgegeben wird. Sie sollten den Covenant immer auf diese Details, und Fragen Sie den Estate Owner wenn die Zahlungen unklar sind oder Sie die entsprechenden Informationen nicht finden können.

=== Ausnahmefälle beim Landbesitz ===

==== Charter Mitgliedschaften ====
Gelegentlich kann es vorkommen, dass im Profil eines älteren Mitglieds 'Charter Member' angezeigt wird. Dies ist ein Privileg welches an die ältesten Bewohner (vor Version 1.2) von Second Life gegeben wurde, welche bereit waren eine höhere Einmalzahlung in Kauf zu nehmen und keine weiteren Kosten für den Account (nicht Tiers!) zu haben. Mit der Einführung des Tier Bonus für Premium Mitgliedschaften wurde für Chatered Member ein Tier-freier Grundbesitz von 4069m² eingeräumt.

== Wie weit können Leute hören was ich sage ? ==

Ein normales Gespräch kann in einem Radius von 20m mitgehört werden, die Reichweite beim Rufen beträgt 100m.

Sie werden auch feststellen, dass Teile des Chat grau sind, wobei andere Teile als weiß erscheinen. Der graue Text stammt von Leuten die weiter von Ihnen entfernt sind.

Sie können auch anderen Leuten eine Sofortnachricht (IM = Instant Message) über die ganze SL Welt hinweg schicken, klicken Sie hierfür auf die Communicate Schaltfläche im unteren Bildschirmbereich, wählen Sie den "Contacts"-Tab aus und doppel klicken Sie dann in der Kontaktliste (Friendslist) auf den Namen des Kontaktes dem Sie eine Sofortnachricht schicken möchten.

== Was sind die grundlegenden sozialen Regeln ? ==

Second Life teilt sich in zwei verschiedene Grids und Gemeinschaften auf:

* Teen Grid - für Teenager im Alter von 13 bis 17 Jahren. Erwachsene haben nur als Linden zutritt, oder wenn es sich um Lehrer handelt (nur nach Erhalt entsprechender Erklärungen und Bescheinigungen)
* Main Grid - für jeden der mindestens 18 Jahre alt ist.

Egal auf welchem Grid sich der jeweilige Benutzer befindet, sollte er seinen Mitmenschen gegenüber ein verantwortungsvolles und respektvolles Verhalten zeigen. Hier einige Richtlinien zur Etiquette in Second Life:

* Nicht jugendfreies Verhalten sowie nicht jugendfreie Sprache sollten nur in Region an den Tag gelegt werden, die als Mature gekennzeichnet sind. (angezeigt duch ein (M) neben dem Regionsnamen im oberenen Bereich des Second Life Viewers). Wenn Sie sich in einer als (PG) gekennzeichneten Region befinden, sollten Sie Abstand von Sprache, Verhalten, Tönen, oder Bildern nehmen, die nicht für ein generelles Auditorium gestimmt sind (vergleichbar mit "ohne FSK" freigegebenen Filmen). Auf dem Teen Grid stehen generell keine (M) Regionen zur Verfügung - alle Region sind als (PG) eingestuft und das Verhalten sollte entsprechend angepasst sein.

* Sie dürfen keinen anderen Avatar schubsen ("push"), nicht durch Vorsätzliches in den anderen Avatar hineinlaufen, genausowenig wie durch die Anwendung von Waffen oder für diesen Bedarf programmierte Objekte. Wenn Sie aus versehen jemanden schubsen, ist es üblich sich hierfür zu entschuldigen. =)

* Kämpfe bei denen Waffen verwendet werden, sollten ausschließlich in "Non Safe" Regionen wie Jessie, Rausch, oder von Residents besessene Parzellen die als Kampfzone gekennzeichnet sind (angezeigt durch ein Herz-Symbol im oberen Bildschirmbereich) ausgetragen werden. Schießen Sie nicht auf Leute, die nicht ihre Einverständnis dazu abgegegeben haben.Um die genauen Regeln zu erfahren lesen sie die "Terms of Service" und die "Community Standards" Seiten auf der Second Life Website.

== Was bedeuten diese Abkürzungen ? ==

Hier sind einige der geläufigsten Abkürzungen aus dem Sprachgebrauch von Second Life:

*afk - AwayFromKeyboard, gerade nicht vorm Computer.
*AO - AnimationOverrider, um die Standardanimationen fürs laufen usw. durch andere auszutauschen
*AV - Avatar, Ihr Second Life "Körper"
*FL - das gleiche wie RL (außer der US-Staat Florida ist gemeint)
*IM - InstantMessage
*L$ - Linden Dollars; die viirtuelle Währung
*LL - Linden Lab; das Unternehmen welches Second Life erstellte
*LM - LandMark
*LSL - Linden Scripting Language; die Scriptsprache mit der Objekte in Second Life programmiert werden
*NC - NoteCard
*PG - Bewertung für Regionen auf denen nicht jugendfreie Inhalte und Objekte untersagt sind
*RL - Real Life; dieser Zwischenraum wo man Essen, Schlaf und so weiter benötigt
*SL - Second Life
*TP - TelePort

==Was bedeuten diese Wörter über meinem Namen?==
Diese Wörter sind Gruppentitel ("group title"). Gruppen sinde eine Möglichkeit in Second Life Interessengemeinschaften zu gründen. Andere Gruppen dienen aber auch einfach nur dazu sich land zu teilen. Sie können die verfügbaren Gruppen durchstöbern indem Sie unter "Search" und dann "Groups" mit einem entsprechenden Schlüsselwort suchen.

Alle Mitglieder haben einen Titel, welcher über dem Namen angezeigt wird. Hier gibt es zwei Mitgliedsarten: einfache Mitglieder und "officers", welche auf erweiterte Werkzeuge zum Gruppenmanagement zurückgreifen können (sie können zum Beispiel die Title ändern, Land für die Gruppe kaufen, Mitglieder der Gruppe verweisen, usw).

=== Ich bin einer Gruppe beigetreten und haben jetzt einen Titel über meinem Namen, wie entferne ich diesen ? ===

# Öffnen Sie das "Bearbeiten"-Menü.
# Wählen Sie "Gruppen..."
# Scrollen die Gruppenliste zu deren Anfang.
# Wählen Sie "none" aus.
# Drücken Sie die "Aktivieren" Schaltfläche.

== Wie kann ich das Bild in meinem Profil festlegen? ==

# Über das "Datei" Menü können Sie ein Bild hochladen ("Bild hochladen"), dieser Vorgang kostet L$10.
# Alternativ können Sie auch über das "Datei" Menü einen Schnappschuß aufnehmen ("Foto machen"), wählen Sie in dem öffnenden Fenster "Foto hochladen" aus. Dieser Vorgang kostet wie das Hochladen eines Bildes L$10.
# Suchen Sie das Bild welches Sie hochgeladen haben in Ihrem Inventar. Es sollte in dem "Textures" Ordner zu finden sein. Wenn Sie einen Schnappschuß mit 'Upload to Snapshot' gemacht haben, finden Sie das Bild im Ordner "Photo Album" die Datei heißt dann "Snapshot: " gefolgt von der Position an der Sie die Aufnahme gemacht haben. Sie sollten in Betracht ziehen die Datei umzubenennen, sobald Sie diese gefunden haben, damit Sie Datei später einfacher finden können.
# Öffnen Sie Ihr Profil indem Sie auf "Profil..." im "Bearbeiten" Menü klicken.
# Ziehen Sie bei gedrückter linker Maustaste das Bild aus Ihrem Inventar auf den dafür vorgesehenen Platz im Profil.

== Wie kann ich meine Einstellungen verändern ? ==

Um das Einstellungs-Fenster zu öffnen, drücken Sie STRG-P oder wählen Sie "Einstellungen" im "Bearbeiten"-Menü aus.

== Was sind Calling Cards (Visitenkarten) ? ==
In Second Life können Ihnen andere Bewohner Ihre Calling Card geben. Wenn Sie die Calling Card von jemandem besitzen:

- können Sie einfach das Profil der Person durch Ihr Inventar öffnen. Durch das Profil können Sie mehr über die jeweilige Person herausfinden, wie zum Beispiel die Lieblingsplätze.

- Wenn Sie Second Life über einen Link beigetreten sind, den Ihnen ein Benutzer zu Anmeldung gab, wird dessen Calling Card die erste sein, die Sie je empfangen. Gleichzeitig erhält der Benutzer auch automatisch Ihre Calling Card...

Calling Cards können übergeben werden, wenn Sie jemanden mit der rechten Maustaste anklicken und im erscheinendnem Kontextmenü "more", dann "give Card" klicken.

== Was passiert mit nicht bezahlten Accounts ? ==

Linden Lab wird eine erneute Buching des offenen Betrags nach Ablauf von 7 Tagen versuchen. In dieser Zeit kann sich der Benutzer noch normal in Second Life anmelden.

Am achten Tag wird der Benutzerzugang für 30 Tage deaktiviert. Eine Zahlung in diesem Zeitraum stellt den Benutzerzugang wieder her.

Am 31sten Tag (oder 38sten Tag, abhängig von der Sichtweise), wird das Benutzerkonto geschlossen und jeglicher Landbesitz wird Governor Linden zugeteilt.

== Was sind HUD Objekte ? ==

In Kampfflugzeugen und Ego-Shootern, zeigt das HUD (oder Heads-Up Display) Dem Benutzer wichtige Informationen direkt in dessen Sichtfeld an. In Second Life, wurden Punkte eingerichtet, über die Sie mittels des Rechtsklick-Tortennmenüs oder das Inventar HUD Objekte einrichten können. Um ein HUD zu tragen öffnen Sie Inventar, rechst-klicken das entsprechende Objekt, wählen die Option 'An HUD hängen >' und wählen dann einen der 8 Punkte aus, an denen das HUD angezeigt werden kann. Das Objekt wird dann Ihrem Viewer zugefügt, und nur Sie können es sehen. Der größte Vorteil von HUD Objekten ist, dass andere Benutzer nicht sehen können welche HUD Sie tragen. Hier gibt es Sich viele Anwendungsgebiete wie zum Beipsiel Spiele wo der andere Spieler nicht sehen soll, was Sie haben; Informationsanzeigen wie zum Beispiel Geschwindgkeitsmesser, Simulator Statistiken, Radars, verbleibende Munition, u.s.w. und vielleicht auch etwas via Diavorführung vom letzten Saunabesuch mit Ihrer Großmutter =) Anderen dieses zu zeigen könnte zu einem Abuse Report führen. Behalten Sie sowas auf der HUD!

HUD-Objekte können unter Verwendung von LSL erstellt werden, es gibt hierbei jedoch einige Einschränkungen. Partikeleffekte funktionieren nicht mit HUD Elementen. Weiter gibt es mit HUDs noch kleinere bekannte Probleme. So können HUDs zum Beispiel Chat Nachrichten überlagen. Durch HUDs hindurch kann mach auch nicht mit anderen Objekten interagieren (diese anklicken) da HUDs selber angeklickt werden können, wenn dieses im Design vorgesehen ist. HUDs werden nur in Schnappschüssen angezeigt wenn vorab die 'HUD Objekte auf Foto anzeigen' Option aktiviert worden ist.

== Was bedeutet "Freund hinzufügen" ? ==

In Second Life können Sie andere Leute zu Ihren Freunden machen, indem Sie mit der rechten Mausttaste auf deren Avatar klicken und im Torten-Menü die Option "Freund hinzufügen" auswählen, oder das Freundschaftsangebot einer anderen Person akzeptieren. Mit jemandem befreundet zu sein bedeutet, dass:

* Der Name der Person in der "Kontakte" Liste erscheint.
* Sie sich auf der Karte finden können, wenn diese Option aktiviert wurde.
* Sie informiert werden wenn Ihr Freund sich an- oder abmeldet (kann deaktiviert werden).
* Sie Ihre Freunde die Online sind über die Webseite abrufen können.
* Sie Freunden die Erlaubnis geben können Ihre Objekte zu modifizieren.

==Sind Sie NPCs oder künstliche Intelligenz?==

Nein, wir sind alles Menschen. Wirklich, vertrauen Sie mir. In Second Life gibt es keine NPCs, einige Leute haben jedoch Objekte mit künstlicher Intelligenz erstellt.

==Warum gibt es so viele weibliche Bewohner in Second Life??==

Obwohl Second Life mit einem weiblichen Bevölkerungsanteil von rund 50% höher liegt als andere virtuelle Welten -- gewöhnlich sind diese Benuter zwischen 35 und 55 Jahren alt (der Durchschnitt liegt bei 33 Jahren), und sich diese Bevölkerungsgruppe häufiger in Second Life anmeldet als Männer -- sollten Sie nicht das "Aussehen" (in-world) mit dem "Geschlecht" (im RL) verwechseln oder gleichsetzen, Sie sind gewarnt :)

==Ermm, kann man in Second Life auch Sex haben ?==

Ja, natürlich können Sie -- cybersex ist hier recht üblich. denken Sie daran, wenn Sie diese Notecard lesen, dann sind Sie ein Volljähriger und zwischen Volljährigen sind solche Handlungen erlaubt. Sie sollten sich jedoch in einer als Mature (M) gekennzeichneten Region aufhalten (jede Region zeigt an ob sie Mature (M) oder PG (PG) ist). Seien Sie gewarnt, obwohl Cybersex hauptsächlich durch den Chat vorangetrieben werden in Second Life auch gerne Objekte verwendet -- viele dieser Objekte "bewegen" ihren Körper, und die Auslöser für diese Animationen befinden sich in sogenannten "pose balls", die man dann für gewöhnlich auf Möbeln findet. Ein blauer "pose-ball" ist hierbei meistens für männliche Avatare gedacht, der pink-farbene für weibliche Avatare, einige Hersteller verwenden jedoch auch andere Farben :)

Bitte respektieren Sie auch den Lebensstil von anderen Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft. Sie werden sämtliche Arten von sexuellem Verhalten hier vorfinden -- Urteilen Sie nicht grob über andere. Erinnern Sie sich daran, dass zwischen Erwachsenen es wenige Grenzen gibt, und hier in Second Life sind wir ein recht lebhaftes Volk :)

==Wie viele Objekte gibt es? Warum muss ich dafür etwas bezahlen?==
{{vital-info|list of locations offering freebies}}

Es wurde einmal geschätzt, dass es in Second Life etwas 300 Millionen Objekte gibt. Über diese Daten wird zur Zeit keine wirkliche Statistik geführt. Erinnern Sie sich daran, dass jegliche Inhalte von den Benutzern von Second Life erstellt werden und nicht von

Linden Lab (den Erstellern). Etwas zu erstellen benäötigt viel Geduld und Zeit, und Qualitätsprodukte werden von sehr erfahrenen Baumeistern, Künstlern und Programmierern erstellt. Sie erwarten eine Gegenleistung für den Zeitaufwand, und deshalb verlangen sie für die erstellten Objekte Geld.

==Ich habe bei der Registrierung mit meinem Spielernamen einen Fehler gemacht. Kann ich diesen ändern?==

Nein, leider ist dies nicht Möglich.Sie werden "nie" die Möglichkeit haben Ihren Namen zu ändern -- hiermit wird Griefing vorgebeugt. Wenn sie Ihren absolut nicht mögen, dann ist es die beste Idee das Benutzerkonto zu annulieren und ein neues mit dem richtigen Namen anzulegen.

==Warum habe ich eine Box auf meinem Kopf/ an meiner Hand?==

Keine Sorge, das passiert uns allen! Einige Objekte beinhalten andere Objekte (wie zum Beispiel Freebie Boxen, oder Pakete die Kleidung, Fahrzeuge, oder Ähnliches beinhalten). Diese Boxen müssen in der Welt gerezzt werden, anstatt direkt an ihrem Körper getragen zu werden. Rechts klicken Sie auf eine Box dies Sie tragen und wählen Sie im Torten Menü "Fallen lassen" aus. Das wird Ihnen weiterhelfen. Das nächste mal öffnen Sie dann einfach ihr Inventar, wählen die Box aus und ziehen sie auf den Boden und klicken dann mit der rechten Mausttaste darauf um im Torten-Menü "Öffnen" auszuwählen. Das wars!

==Warum kann ich nicht von diesem Sofa aufstehen?==

Nun gut, sie sollten eigentlich immer in der Lage sein von einem Objekt aufzustehen indem Sie die "Stand Up" Schaltfläche verwenden, die Sich über der Texteingabe-Box für Chatnachrichten befindet. Wenn dies warum auch immer nicht funktioneren sollte (sehr sehr selten), machen Sie bitte einen Relog.

==Wo finde ich im Inventar meinen Avatar?==

Auch wenn dies etwas befremdent klingen mag, Sie finden Ihn unter "Body Parts" oder gar "Clothing", und gewöhnlich in einem Ordner mit der Bezeichnung "Male/Female Shape & Clothing", es kann jedoch auch sein, dass Sie den Namen verändert haben. Seltsam genug, Avatare sind nichts anderes als eine Sammlung von texturen die einem Polygon Mesh (aus Polygonen gerendertes Objekt) zugeordnet werden, und das Aussehen zu verändern ist lediglich eine Frage dessen welche Skin, welche Kleidung oder welche Augen (und vieles mehr) mit diesem Polygon Mesh kombiniert werden!

Ach übrigens, Sie können so viele verschiedene Avatare haben (männlich, weiblich oder ähnliches) wie Sie wünschen, hier gibt es keine Begrenzung.

==HILFE! Das bin nicht ich! Das ist ein häßlicher Avatar mit kurzem braunen Haar! (Und der ist WEIBLICH, igitt!)==

Keine Sorge! Vielleicht haben Sie eine schlechte Verbindung ins Internet oder befinden sich auf einem sehr langsamen . Alle Avatare (ja, auch die männlichen) werden aus einem "basis" Polygon Mesh erstellt, und der "standard" Avatar, aus ungeklärter Ursache "Ruth" geannt wird (die Legende besagt das Ruth eine der ersten Bewohner in Second Life war, lange vor der ersten Alpha...), ist eine häßliche abgemagerte Frau mit kurzem braunen Haar. Warten Sie einfach ein bisschen und Sie sollten sobald ihr Viewer alle Daten geladen hat wieder "normal" aussehen.

Wenn es *lange* dauert, würde ich vorschlagen einen Relog zu machen. Manchmal verschlimmert sich die Situation sogar, wenn Sie versuchen Ihren Avatar zu wechseln während Sie ruthed sind! (sie schaffen es eventuell das System zu verwirren und alle Ihre Avatars werden vermischt)

Ein schneller Lösungsansatz dieses Problem ohne Neustart von Second Life zu beheben ist es das "Aussehen"-Menü aufzurufen. Das Menü wird sich verhalten als hätten Sie Änderungen an Ihrem Avatar vorgenommen udn wird nachfragen ob Sie diese Änderungen speichern möchten, sobald Sie das "Edit Appearance" - Fenster schließen. DRÜCKEN SIE UNTER KEINEN UMSTÄNDEN AUF "SAVE"!!! Klicken Sie einfach auf "NO".

==Warum sehen Sie besser als ich aus? Warum sehe ich aus als hätte ich Gummihaut und Baumwollhaare?==

Die Skins von den Standard-Avataren haben nur eine geringe Auflösung, und das reguläre "Linden"-Hair ist sehr einfach und hat keine großen Details. Sehr kreative Benutzer haben neue hochauflösende Skins erstellt, die man anstatt der Standard Skin verwenden kann, und Sie können komplexes Haar aus Objekten erstellen (grundlegend wird dies durch die Veränderung der vorgegebenen Strukturen (Box, Sphere, Torus) erzielt indem man diese verdreht bis man eine schönere Frisur erstellt hat). Einige dieser Frisuren benutzen sogar flexible Prims!

Auch die Kleidung die von guten Designern erstellt wird, können meistens nur ausserhalb der Freebie-Stores gefunden werden.

Alle diese Gegenstände sind in der Regel recht teuer (sie sind sehr aufwendig herzustellen) und werden in vielen verschiedenen Läden über das ganze Grid verteilt verkauft. Klicken Sie einfach auf "Suchen" wählen Sie den "Orte" Tab und suchen Sie nach "clothes" (Kleidung), "skin" (Haut) oder "hair" (Haar) um zu sehen was der Markt bietet.

==Wie finde ich eine Party? Wie kann ich Schulungen besuchen?==

Einen Einblick in das gesellschaftliche Leben in Second Life erhalten Sie indem Sie die Schaltfläche "Suchen" klicken und dann unter dem "Events" Tab nach dem gewünschten Event suchen. Sie können ebensogut einen Einblick in die SL Foren nehmen (http://forums.secondlife.com) wo oft spezielle Ereignisse angekündigt werden.

Schauen Sie nach der Uhrzeit zu der die Veranstaltungen stattfinden und beachten Sie, dass die angegebenen Zeiten in der Pacific Standard Time (PST) oder Pacific Daylight Savings Time (PDT) in der Regel ist es daher am einfachsten sich nach der Uhr Ihres Viewers zu richten.

Freundschaft

2009-08-27T15:42:46Z

Dil Spitz:

{{Help/de|Parent=Friendship|Community=*|Glossary=*}}
===Freunde===

Freunde findest du schnell, wenn du bereit bist, mit anderen zu sprechen. Du kannst jemandem deine Freundschaft anbieten, indem du mit rechts auf ihn klickst und "Add friend" wählst. Wenn der andere annimmt, dann habt ihr nun beide einen neuen Eintrag in der Freundesliste, die du mit dem Knopf in der Leiste unten aufrufen kannst.
Bitte beachte, dass Freundschaften, wie im [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freundschaft realen Leben], etwas besonderes sind und nicht wie Spam verteilt werden sollten.

Du kannst die Position deiner Freunde auf der Karte sehen.
ACHTUNG: Viele Freunde mögen es gar nicht, wenn man ungefragt plötzlich neben ihnen erscheint. Also lieber erst einmal anfragen, ob es gerade passt.
Dazu schickst du eine "Instant Message" (Knopf links unten). Das ist eine Kurznachricht, die über die ganze Welt hinweg funktioniert und einen privaten Kommunikationskanal öffnet (wie ICQ oder MS-Messenger).

===Liebe===

Manchmal wird in SL aus Freundschaft sogar Liebe. Dabei müssen die beiden selbst klären, ob das nun noch fiktional oder schon real ist. Beides gibt es hier. Man kann auch heiraten und den anderen Einwohner für eine kleine Gebühr im Profil als "Partner" eintragen lassen.

===Sex===

Es gibt hier *alles*. Und mehr.
Sex funktioniert entweder nur in der Fantasie oder aber sehr explizit mit Attachments, das sind Dinge, die man dem eigenen Körpermodell hinzufügt. Sie sind z.T. programmiert und reagieren aufeinander.
Einzige Empfehlung: Toleranz.
Alles andere wirst du schnell herausfinden.

==Definition==

"Machinima" is a neologism based on the phrase ''machine cinema''. The term is used to distinguish between traditional animation techniques (which use specialized 3D animation software) and animation projects that record the action in real-time interactive 3D environments, such as single-player video games or Second Life. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima the Wikipedia entry] for more details.

==Definition==

"Machinima" is a neologism based on the phrase ''machine cinema''. The term is used to distinguish between traditional animation techniques (which use specialized 3D animation software) and animation projects that record the action in real-time interactive 3D environments, such as single-player video games or Second Life. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima the Wikipedia entry] for more details.
