Peeve: Recently in a family saga I read of their involvement in the Napoleonic Wars. A French song was quoted (or it might have been Belgian, as a lot of the action was set around Brussels) but I cannot find it anywhere. Is it a fictional song, or does anyone recognise it? The title is 'La Bayadère' and the lines quoted are "Rien, rien cette guerre affreuse, Seulement que c'est moi qui t'aime mieux".

There are many fine builders of motorcycles in SL. They only require a 2.0 LOD, and many ride like a dream. Most have a "sled" or "canoe" on the bottom to allow for smooth riding without sticking or sinking into the track. Fine builders include Moto by Mario Sangria, Turlaccor/Vix Motors, Deezul Motors, Badger Motors, Crossing Sands, JFC, ARTY Creations, and many more. If you would like LM's to these stores or want just two of my fav builders' LM's contact me inworld. I will send them to you. My suggestion for buying a bike you love is 1. Ride the demo first, 2. Make sure the bike is "modify" so you can add new sleds/canoes, and the blue menu on controls works properly, and 3. practice, practice, practice! There are nearly two hundred (200) amazing tracks to ride in sl, and some go up to 4,000 meters (or about 1 hour of ride time). All the tracks are different with different themes and decor. Also, many of Lindens' roads are driveable with rez zones clearly marked. That's a fun choice, as well.

I was watching TV, then decided to take a ride so I looked for a GTFO hub to rez my vehicle, when I came across a bunch of Goombas. Out of curiosity I jumped on one and this happened. 🤣 They are at: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Granada/209/83/80 I'm going to run one over to see what happens. Lol, okay.. I kind of feel bad now.

Yep. It's a ghost town half the time . The other 25% is bots and Spanish speaking noobs . Idk why . And the last 25% is 1-2 mentors standing around , having a conversation with a few oldies who also like to help while not a single noob even appears , just bot swarms . Maybe if they would stop redirecting traffic to the ai island full of bots , welcome hub might not be dead and mentors wouldn't be discouraged from standing around alone .lol

between this lot and the neighbors lot are little canals for giving you more space

Checking out WelcomeHub this evening. 6 new users, none moving. One is a bot stuck in a fountain. One has no hair but two heads worn simultaneously. One is stuck in pink cloud state. One has the classic woman with floppy hat and small dog in large bag avatar, and is having clothing problems. One bought a box with some adult parts, but they're wearing the box, not the parts. One got on the Teegle demo horse but couldn't make it go. No mentors present. Onboarding still needs work.

Have you looked into instamat, there's even a free tier for it. https://instamaterial.com/ If you want to learn some instamat

Yeah thats a lot. I was sure there was a tier with just painter, sample and designer , but it looks like they stopped that.

Good sir , I must inquire about these fine steel equine. Where dat store in which they are sold ? Do they require 4.000 LOD to see ? And can they drive over a penny without being derailed ?

Yes, you can choose an available home if you upgrade to "Premium Plus".

If only this wasn't 50$ a month

Now I need it too. :")

I'm looking for this hair for an avatar, does anyone know what it is or where I can get it? I've been searching for it for days without results T.T https://prnt.sc/quUG-PT1eW8L https://prnt.sc/964V9kcrp3EY https://prnt.sc/RDnSlsMFzRV_

I love this image!

Cool VL, maybe? Just parse local chat with Lua?

They don't sleep. Yet they had beds.

I wonder if it's just missing a call to "llEscapeURL()" for the text entered..

A PBR tutorials playlist from the inimitable @Nagachief Darkstone

Here's a quick and incomplete grab of some stuff. These are mostly from a notecard I've made for handing around. SL's Wiki page on PBR Materials This is not well organized and full of tech information not relevant for most people, but it does have some good guidelines. https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/PBR_Materials Firestorm's PBR Introduction A good, well-written and simple introduction. Includes instructions on how to limit FPS, Override VRAM, and limit texture size in Firestorm. https://www.firestormviewer.org/firestorm-gets-physical-for-a-happy-21st-sl-birthday/ Firestorm's PBR Glossary Really useful brief glossary of American craft beers. (j/k!) https://www.firestormviewer.org/firestorm-gets-physical-for-a-happy-21st-sl-birthday/#glossary Inara Pey's Introduction to PBR Materials, Reflection Probes, and glTF in SL As usual, Inara does a great job of communicating some of the basics for the non-technical. https://modemworld.me/2023/11/28/a-simple-introduction-to-pbr-materials-reflection-probes-gltf-in-second-life/ Firestorm's Instructions on Whitelisting https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_update_viewer The glTF packer, for packing PBR materials for exportation into SL https://aiaicapta.in/gltf-packer/ Inara Pey's Post on Making Mirrors https://modemworld.me/2024/06/20/tutorial-creating-a-simple-prim-mirror-with-firestorm/ Video on Fixing Old EEPs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVm8sJ7B0I0&ab_channel=WARETA Video on Fixing Old EEPs (JuicyBomb) https://youtu.be/LwQv9ADFpw8?si=IgsRECZDrBTgPAuZ

The SL WIKI!! read the instructions -- correct sofware calibration is essential https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/PBR_Materials Top tutorial on how to make roughness maps in painter - which are really important btw and shouldn't be overlooked. The advice on turning the model black is golden

It's also a fine place for a nap.

Excellent resident made software for packing maps into gLTF https://aiaicapta.in/gltf-packer/
