Cardboard Merchandise Box for Second Life

Cardboard Merchandise Box

Cardboard Merchandise Box

This product is a simple virtual Cardboard Merchandise Box for objects sold in Second Life®.  Use it to pack your objects in for easy delivery.  The box uses an original cardboard texture that I photographed from an actual high-quality cardboard box.  All artwork is original, so nobody can claim you “stole their box” for your store.  The stencil style printing on the box is intentionally slightly faded to look like print on a real cardboard box, which is often less than perfect due to ink absorption by the cardboard.  The box is labeled “Merchandise Inside” on the top, bottom, and two sides.  The other two sides have unpacking instructions for newbies, 1. Left Click on box. |  2. Select “Copy to Inventory”.  The top and bottom of the box have “flap” seams, and the box edges are highlighted to provide better edge definition.

A script is included that sets up the box for use, the script places floating text over the box using whatever wording and color you wish.  Optionally the script can delete the floating text as well.  After setting up the box the script deletes itself so that it does not get included with your product inside the box.

The box is 1 prim and Full Perms.  Please reset the perms to copy or transfer after packing your product in the box.  Cardboard Merchandise Box at Second Life Marketplace.

Teleporter with Rotation Full Version

Teleporter with Rotation Full Version

Teleporter with Rotation Full Version

This Second Life® teleporter is ideal for use with a skybox and for teleporting across regions.  2-3 second teleports across the full sim or to a full-height skybox!   No more side trips to 0,0,0 during teleports!  The Teleporter with Rotation Full Version will teleport avatars much faster and with a cleaner visual experience than the typical Second Life Teleporter.  Most teleporters use variations of the same free, buggy warpPos exploit script that LL has been threatening to disable since it was written back when SL was new.  This teleporter doesn’t, it uses the new llSetRegionPos teleport function created in 2012 by Linden Lab, with some major tweaks to make it faster, smoother, and more reliable/accurate.  Plus the Teleporter with Rotation Full Version has lots of features, and gives you total control over them.   Download the FREE DEMO and give it a try!  Link to Teleporter with Rotation Full Version.

Teleporter with Rotation Home Version

The Teleporter with Rotation Home Version is a FAST, simple teleporter, perfect for a SL home, such as a Linden Home. This teleporter is a minimized version of my Teleporter with Rotation Full Version. Minimizing the code in the Home Version allows the MAXIMUM SPEED possible for short hops, like upstairs, between rooms, etc. If you only need to teleport a short distance, this is the fastest teleporter for the job.  While this teleporter has a full region range and can reach a skybox, it is best for short distances under 30 meters.

“Free Surf Lesson” Sign Post for use in Second Life

Hey Dudes and Dudettes!  This sign post consists of a driftwood board with ”Free Surf Lesson – Click Here” on it.  It can be stuck in the sand as shown below, simply laid on the beach like driftwood,  attached to another post, or attached to a wall.  The sign contains a simple script, clicking on the sign redirects the user to a lesson and video on how to surf in Second Life.  The script is full perms, so you can check out the code if you are interested in making similar scripted signs that link to websites.  If you want to take a look at the surf lesson, the lesson and a SL surf video are located on my blog at http://findingmywayinsl.com/learning-to-surf-the-virtual-waves-in-second-life/.

My Teleporter with Rotation Stopped Working!

If you have one of the original free version 1 teleporters, these teleporters used a  exploit called PosJump to work.   Software changes to the scripting language that Second Life® uses have caused that exploit to no longer be reliable or in many cases, to stop working.  There is no way to fix this.  The solution is to upgrade to a teleporter that uses the new, Second Life supported teleporting function called “llSetRegionPos” which is supposed to be a new, reliable method of scripting teleporters.  Unfortunately…

One-Way Glass Panels for Second Life®

One Way Glass for Second Life

Exterior Blue Opaque Finish

One-way glass panel collection.  42 panels, 6 exterior opaque colors, 7 interior tints. While it is relatively easy to make 1-way glass, it does take some time and effort to get it to look good!  This package of one-way glass panels helps you by-pass a lot of that trial and error stuff of fiddling with transparency settings, colors, shininess settings, glow settings, and working with selecting faces. (The first time you lose 20 minutes worth of work by selecting the wrong face you will understand.) This package is meant to save you all that time by giving you pre-built panels you can put in place like they were furniture.

Not for your real-life home:  Just a quick reminder that these aren’t real windows for use in your real-world home!  People keep writing me wanting these for their real-world homes.  These windows are for a computer simulated world called Second Life where you can build virtual 3D objects like homes, towns, etc.  These windows are a simulation on a computer.  I wish I did have the technology to make a real-world window like these.  I’d be rich!!!

How to Install a One-Way Glass Window in Second Life®

Linden Home Retrofitted with One Way Glass

Unlike the real world, one-way glass windows in Second Life® are easy to install on an existing window, even on a pre-fab Linden Home.  In SL a one-way glass window is tinted or completely transparent from the inside so you can see out, but it is completely opaque from the outside.  Nobody can see in, even at night with the lights on!

If you have a pre-built home like a Linden Home™ or a packaged home you bought, you can still easily tint them or make them look like one-way glass.  All you do is place a one-way glass pane right over the existing window glass.
