SOLUCIONES COMUNES

Limpiando la caché de Second Life

Second Life usa espacio del disco duro de su ordenador para almacenar datos, incluyendo una lista de los ítem de su inventario. Si esta caché se corrompe o si su Visor no carga completamente su inventario, sus ítem pueden aparecer, erróneamente, como perdidos. En muchos casos, sus ítem no están perdidos, y reaparecerán después de que usted limpie su cahé de Second Life:

1. Vaya a Editar > Preferencias en la barra del menú superior.
2. Pulse la pestaña Red.
3. Pulse el botón Limpiar Cache.
4. Salga de Second Life.
5. Vuelve a conectarse a Second Life.
6. Espere en el mismo sitio durante 5 minutos: Second Life necesita recargar mucha información de su caché anterior.

• Para referencias y más precisiones, consulte Clear_Cache

Mensaje de error sobre Objeto perdido en la Base de Datos

Si al rezear un ítem desde su inventario, recibe un aviso de error que dice que el objeto no aparece en la Base de Datos ("Object Missing From Database"), a veces el sistema mismo se da cuenta de este error y es capaz de recuperar automáticamente su objeto perdido. Sin embargo, para ver si Second Life es capaz de recuperarlo, usted debe esperar una hora, limpiar su caché como se describe en Limpiando la caché, desconectarse, volverse a conectar, y mirar en su Inventario si el objeto ha reaparecido.

Cuestiones relativas a la Región

La Región en la que usted esté puede tener dificultades técnicas, especialmente en zonas con un alto tráfico. Y tal cosa puede prevenirle sobre el rezear objetos dsde su inventario. Si no puede escapar a otra Región, salga de Second Life y vuelva a entrar por una Region diferente:

1. Vaya a Editar > Preferencias en la barra del menú superior.
2. Pulse en la pestaña General.
3. Marque la opción Mostrar localización en la pantalla de inicio de sesión.
4. Salga de Second Life.
5. Lance Second Life, pero no se conecte aún.
6. Escriba Sandbox Newcomb, o el nombre de otra Región que conozca, en Local de inicio:.
7. Pulse en Click Conectar.

Intente encontrar una Region con un Tráfico bajo y relativamente pocos objetos. Generalmente, tales Regiones suelen tener menos problemas, y hay menos probabilidades de que tengan síntomas como las pérdidas de inventario.

PÉRDIDA DE INVENTARIO PERCIBIDA

A veces, le aparacerá como perdido su inventario porque fuerzas externas pueden imperdir que Second Life muestre su inventario correctamente. Recuerde: a menudo, Soluciones Comunes y Técnicas de búsqueda ¡pueden solucionar un caso que haya percibido de pérdida de inventario!

Problemas de conexión

An unstable Internet connection can lead to apparent inventory loss in Second Life. High packet loss may cause your inventory to be unable to retrieve a complete list of items from Second Life’s servers. Wireless and satellite connections are unsupported for this reason, and other types of connectivity may yield similar results.

There may be a temporary problem with Second Life or your connection to the Internet. If the list of items in your Inventory usually loads without incident, temporary inventory loss may go away within 24 hours. In addition, clear your cache as described in Clearing Second Life's cache, logout and then log back in and look in your Inventory Window to see if the items have reappeared.

Inventory Item Count

The Item Count in the Inventory Window is not always precise. It represents the number of items that have been successfully downloaded to your Viewer. Thus, if the number changes does not mean you have actually lost or gained inventory items. If you notice the number has dropped significantly and the Viewer has finished fetching your items then try Clearing Second Life's cache, logout and then log back in and look in your Inventory Window to see if the items have reappeared.

TÉCNICAS DE BÚSQUEDA

¿Los objetos desaparecen tras ser devueltos?

La función "Coalesce" (coalición, unión) puede crear confusión, pues parece que los objetos han desaparecido en lugar de ser devueltos a su inventario. Cuando un grupo de objetos va a ser devuelto, se fusiona en uno solo, un objeto coalesced, coaligado. Este objeto se coloca de nuevo en su inventario, en la carpeta Lost and Found. Así ocurre cuando usted o el propietario de una parcela devuelven los objetos a su dueño. Si se trata de tierra propiedad de un grupo, recibirá el objeto coaligado en su carpeta Lost and Found si usted era el propitario anterior del terreno.

Por ejemplo, imagine que tiene un salón y, en él, una televisión, una mesa baja, un sofá, una alfombra, y un mando a distancia. Por accidente, ¡todo es devuelto! Para localizar los objetos devueltos, usted busca en su inventario, pero tras esa búsqueda el único objeto que localiza es el mando a distancia. ¿Dónde fue todo lo demás? La televisión, la mesa baja, el sofá, y la alfombra, se han fusionado con el mando a distancia. Es tan sencillo como arrastrar el mando a distancia desde su inventario al terreno y cada cosa de las que le fueron devueltas deberán aparecer con él.

Nota al margen: Los distintos tipos de ítem en su inventario se representan con iconos. Los iconos usado para objetos y para objetos coaligados son parecidos, pero no iduales. El objeto tiene un icono parecido a un cubo, el objeto coaligado tiene un icono similar a un montón de cubos.

Siga estos pasos para localizar objetos que han sido recientemente coaligados y devueltos a su inventario:

• Pulse el botón Inventario.
• En la ventana de Inventario, vaya a Ordenar > Por Fecha
• Localice la carpeta Lost and Found.
• Yendo de arriba hacia abajo, arrastre cada objeto coaligado hasta el terreno hasta que localice los objetos perdidos. O bien, busque objetos coaligados con la misma o similar fecha a aquella en que usted perdió sus objetos.

Inventory Filters

El Panel de Filtros de la ventana de su Inventario contiene una lista de diferentes tipos de inventario. Para aparender cómo usar ese Panel de Filtros, siga los siguientes pasos:

• Pulse el botón Inventario.
• Dentro de la ventana Inventario, elija Archivo > Reset Filters .
• Elija Archivo > Mostrar filtros.

Aqui podemos ajustar qué objetos queremos ver en los resultados de la búsqueda:

• Pulse el botón Ningún para desmarcar todos los tipos de filtrado.
• Marque la opción Objetos.

Para ver objetos aparecidos en su inventario en los últimos 7 días:

• Escriba "7" en Días atrás.
• Pulse la tecla Enter.

Para ir descubriendo su propio estilo de filtrar, experiemente con las opciones de ese Panel de Filtros. Si quiere devolver todas las opciones a las que vienen por defecto, basta con ir a Archivo > Reset Filters.

OTROS CONSEJOS Y TRUCOS

Objetos No Copy

Los objetos No Copy se borrarán de su inventario cuando los pase al terreno o los transfiera a otro Residente. No así los objetos Copy, en los que una copia permanece en su inventario.

Recent Items

La ventana del Inventario Recent Items le permite ver los objetos que ha recibido o han sido editados desde la última vez que se conectó. Es útil para buscar objetos.

Usas el Minimapa para localizar sus objetos

El Minimapa puede ser una útil herramienta para ayudarle a localizar objetos inworld. Para mostrar el Minimapa, pulse el botón del mismo nombre en la barra del menú inferior de su pantalla.

¿Puedo cambiar el tamaño del Minimapa?

• Sí. Pulse y arrastre con el ratón la esquina inferior derecha de la ventana del Minimapa.

¿Puedo hacer zoom en el Minimapa?

• Sí. Pulse en la ventana del Minimapa con el botón derecho del ratón y elija Zoom Close. Por defecto, el Minimapa está en Zoom Medium. También puede usar la rueda del ratón para controlar el zoom en el Minipama.

¿Qué significan los diferentes colores?

• Cyan (azul vivo) representa sus objetos.
• Rosa representa objetos transferidos a un grupo dle que usted es miembro.
• Gris representa objetos que pertenecen a otros Residentes.

Seleccionar sólo Mis Objetos

El menú Herramientas tiene una útil opción que le permite seleccionar sólo los objetos de los que usted es dueño, lo que puede ayudarle a localizar sus objetos en el área que le rodea, pues pueden estar tapados por los objetos de otros Residentes.

• En la barra de menú, vaya a Herramientas > Seleccionar sólo Mis Objetos.
• En la barra de menú, vaya a Herramientas > Seleccionar herramienta > Editar.

Ahora está activada la herramienta de edición. Pulse y arrastre su ratón para elegir un área. Los objetos realzados serán sutos, y probablemente muestren el objeto que usted no podía ver antes.

Localizar ítem perdidos bajo el terreno

Los objetos pueden perderse al quedar enterrados por un error de edición o camvios en el terreno. Los pasos siguientes dan instrucciones para localizar objetos que pueden estar bajo el terreno.

• Primero, esconda el mundo en Second Life: active el menú Client (o Advanced) en la barra del menú pulsando Ctrl+Alt+D. Hecho eso, elija Client (o Advanced) > Rendering > Type > Surface Patch.
• Pulse Esc unas cuantas veces para cerrar cualquier ventana abierta, y cierre la caja de chat.
• Mantenga pulsada la tecla Alt y pulse RePag o AvPag. Así podrá rotar su cámara, localiozando cualquier objeto que estuviera enterrado.

Invisible objects

It may be impossible to see some objects if they are invisible. The Highlight Transparent feature allows you to view invisible objects. Transparent objects will turn translucent red once this feature has been enabled.

• Go to View > Highlight Transparent on the menu bar

Beacons

Often, object you are looking for may contain a script. Beacons make it easy to locate any objects that contain a script.

• Go to View > Beacons > Scripted Objects on the menu bar

If the beacons don't appear to be working, make sure the Render Beacons option is enabled. This draws crosshairs over any beacons, making them easier to locate.

• Go to View > Beacons > Render Beacons on the menu bar

There is an option in Preferences that increases the line width used for beacons, making them easier to view. This is especially useful when Second Life is displayed at a high resolution.

• Go to Edit > Preferences on the menu bar
• Click the Adv. Graphics tab
• Enter "2", or another value, into Debug Beacon Line Width
• Click OK

Request a replacement

Many vendors understand that items may be lost by accident or as the result of an unfortunate circumstance. If recovery efforts fail, contact the vendor and request a replacement.

How many items are in your inventory?

Keeping your inventory tidy is always a good idea. If your inventory has more than 10,000 items, the list of items in your Inventory may fail to load in a timely fashion. To make sure your inventory loads quickly and properly, go through the list of items in your inventory and remove any items no longer needed.

COMMON CAUSES OF INVENTORY LOSS

Inventory offers declined while in Busy Mode

Any inventory offers to your avatar while in Busy Mode are automatically declined. To locate items that have been declined, search your Trash folder; all declined inventory offers go to your Trash.

Is a friend allowed to modify your objects?

Friends who have modify rights to your objects can move them around, possibly to a location where someone may return or delete them. Modify rights also allow friends to take copies of objects that are transferable. When a friend with modify rights tries to copy an object that can't be copied but is transferable, they take ownership of the object.

Land owned by a Resident

A Resident who owns a parcel of land can return or delete any objects placed onto their land. Second Life sends notifications when objects are returned, but not for objects that have been deleted.

Land deeded to a group

Any group member with the ability to return objects can return or delete objects placed on group-owned land. Typically, Owners and Officers of a group have this ability.

Second Life sends notifications when objects are returned, but not for objects that have been deleted.

Shared or deeded to group

Any object that is shared or deeded to group can be manipulated or possibly taken by group members with the "Manipulate (move, copy, modify) group-owned objects" ability. Typically, Owners and Officers of a group have this ability.

Shared or deeded objects may have been taken or moved to another location and later returned or deleted.

Private Regions

Any objects located on a Private Region (a Region owned by a Resident) can be returned by the Region owner or an Estate Manager. Second Life sends notifications when objects are returned.

Autoreturn

Any objects not owned by the land owner, or not set to the group to which the land is deeded, will be returned after a set time limit if autoreturn is enabled.

Decrease in available prims

The number of primitives a land parcel supports is calculated by the total square meters of land owned by a resident or group in a Region. If the total square meters of land decreases, the parcel may no longer support the primitives on the land, resulting in the return of any excess objects.

Example: John Doe owns two parcels of land in a region. Each parcel of land is 512 square meters. The total square meters of land owned by John Doe is 1024 square meters. Normally, 512 square meters of land supports 117 primitives and 1024 square meters of land 234 primitives. John Doe can place all 234 primitives on one of his parcels. However, if John Doe deeds one of these parcels to a group or sells it to another resident, the existing parcel will only support 117 primitives. Any extra primitives will be returned.

Inventory accidentally placed into an object

Items may have been accidentally dragged from your Inventory window and placed into an object.

Items like notecards and sounds cannot be rezzed inworld. If you drag them from the Inventory window onto an inworld object, they will be placed into that object. An object can be placed into an inworld object if the CTRL key is pressed while dragging an object from the Inventory window onto the inworld object.

To see the contents of an inworld object, and possibly locate any inventory accidentally placed into it, right click the object and choose Edit. Then, in the Edit window, click the Contents tab.

Items accidentally given to another avatar

It is possible your items may have been given to another Resident by mistake. There are two ways this can happen: If the items are dragged from your Inventory window onto an avatar inworld, or if the items are dragged from your Inventory window onto someone else's profile window.

USING THE BETA GRID TO RECOVER LOST INVENTORY

If your account is enabled for using the Beta Grid (learn more here), then if you realize that you have missing inventory, you can try this tip. Follow the steps below as soon as possible:

1. If you do not yet have it installed, install the latest Beta Client.

2. Login to the Beta Grid and find a quiet place where no one will annoy you while you are trying to solve a problem.

DO NOT REZ ANYTHING WHILE ON THE BETA GRID. GO INTO BUSY MODE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT ACCEPT ITEMS, DO NOT DELETE ITEMS, DO NOT PASS OR RENAME ITEMS.

3. Open your inventory, type in a search term and allow your inventory to populate.

4. Got your goods back? Awesome! Quit the Beta client, login to the Main Grid and do the same thing. Once you have retrieved your items on the Main Grid and your inventory has fully populated, logout and cache that stuff.

5. Log back into the Main Grid, recheck inventory, smile a lot, raise Hell as usual.

This technique has been proven to work more than half the time so it may save your hide. Please bear in mind that you should only expect positive results if you attempt this workaround as soon as possible upon discovery of your missing items. I am not guaranteeing that you will be able to recover your items but having at least a chance at doing so is much better than no chance at all. I hope this helps some of the residents that fall victim to this issue.

ACTUAL INVENTORY LOSS

Inventory never received

A malfunction or region issues may cause a scripted vendor to fail to deliver purchased items. Unfortunately, there is nothing Second Life Support can do to help recover items that were never received.

Contact the Resident that sold the items, and explain that you never received your purchase. If you are unsure who to contact, you may look at your transaction history:

• Visit http://www.secondlife.com/account/transactions.php

Loss of objects as the result of a Region crash

Recently rezzed objects that are missing after a Region crash have likely been lost. A Region rolls back to a previously saved state when it recovers from a crash. Sadly, anything lost as the result of a Region crash cannot be recovered.

SUPPORT

The steps above can often recover inventory that appeared lost. If you are a Premium or Concierge Resident, you may also file a support ticket by going here and then logging into the Support Portal.
