Troubleshooting and Quick Fixes - Phoenix Viewer

As of 1 Jan 2013, support for Phoenix Viewer has been discontinued.

This wiki will not be removed, but it will not be updated either.


For Firestorm documentation, please click here.

For basic information on how to get help, click here.

Here are trouble shooting tips and suggestions for problems you may encounter while running Phoenix. They are divided into issues which are directly related to the viewer, and those which are really SL issues or bugs.

Should this not be helpful, then please contact support. The best place to get fast help is in one of the in-world groups. Otherwise, you may contact any of our support team. We will do our best to assist you.

Introduction

For an introduction to the basics of troubleshooting, please refer to this page.

Problems During Installation

This page covers problems during installation of the viewer, before you open the viewer for the first time.

Windows Installer Does Not Run

Try the following steps:

  • If you use Windows Defender :
    1. Right click your Win Defender icon on your system tray > View Security Dashboard > Apps & Browser Control
    2. Scroll down to Exploit Protection and click the 'Exploit Protection Settngs' link
    3. Scroll down to “Force Randomization for Images (Mandatory ASLR)
    4. Set to 'Use Default (Off) and close Windows Defender
    5. This issue was documented in this LL Jira: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-225790.
    6. For more info about Windows Defender workarounds, see this page https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/antivirus_whitelisting.
  • You may have corrupt registry information; refer to this page. This is especially common for those rolling back from Win10 to an older version of Windows.

Windows: Error message similar to "Windows has blocked a file that may be harmful to your computer"

You may receive this message or a similar one when downloading or attempting to install Firestorm. You are getting this message because Windows is generating a false positive. As long as you download Firestorm from our official downloads page, the file is safe. Refer to Is My Viewer Safe? for more info.

  • If you see a “more info” button, click that and look for a button saying “Run Anyway.”
  • If you don't have the “Run Anyway” option, see this image for how to adjust your Windows security:

Please refer to Microsoft Defender SmartScreen for more information about your Windows security.

Preferences - Move & View

NOTE: Photographers can access and change many of the camera settings quickly and conveniently via the Phototools Camera Window.

For a general introduction on how to move your avatar and control your view, refer to this page.

View

  • View angle: Affects the camera field of view.
  • Distance: Changes the distance that camera view follows your avatar.
  • Transition Time: How long it takes for the camera to adjust to quickly changed camera positions/angles.
  • Smoothing: Affects how smoothly the camera moves.
  • Disable camera constraints: Allows you to move your camera further away from your avatar, and allows you to cam underground. (Same as top menu bar→ Advanced → Disable camera constraints.)
  • Don't use the mouse wheel to control zoom level of the camera: By default, scrolling the mouse wheel results in the camera zooming in or out; enabling this option will disable that feature.
  • Automatically pose avatar during (select one or more):
    • Build/Edit: When selected, the camera automatically moves to center on the object you're editing.
    • Appearance: (set by default) When selected, the camera automatically zooms in on your avatar when you enter Appearance mode. It also automatically focuses as you select different Body Parts and Clothes tabs. Deselect this to leave the camera where it is.
      • Add Additional Lighting: If enabled, when you go into Appearance, you will have extra lighting to iluminate your avatar. (This option is not available if the one above is disabled.)
      • Show Visual Hints: Option to disable preview thumbnails (visual hints) when editing shape.
  • Clicking your avatar keeps camera position: When enabled, clicking on your avatar will focus the camera at the point that you click on your avatar.
  • Reset camera position after teleport (within a region): If enabled, the camera will revert to the default position after a TP within the region; when disabled, it will remain where it is, relative to your avatar.
  • Reset camera position on avatar movement: If you enable this, the camera will revert to its default position whenever you move your avatar; disable this to inhibit the camera reset. Useful when taking photos, if you need to move your avatar a bit without the camera moving from where you are pointing it.
  • Disable minimum camera zoom distance: Allows the camera to zoom as far in as you want, allowing you to see inside prims.
  • Turn avatar towards camera direction on reset view: If this is enabled (old default behavior), then when you hit Esc to reset your camera, the avatar will turn to face whatever direction your camera was pointing at when you pressed Esc; with this disabled, your avatar will not move, but instead the camera will rotate round behind it.
  • Allow the camera to move without constraints through prims: If enabled will not keep your camera view on the same side of a prim as your avatar. For example put your back against a wall, and you see the other side of the wall. When disabled, your point of view would be over your head, and you see inside.
  • Show the default camera controls minifloater always as opaque: If enabled, the camera conrols window will always be opaque.
  • Re-render temporary derendered objects after teleport: If enabled, temporarily derendered objects will remain derendered until you teleport; otherwise, they stay derendered until your relog, or a manually re-rendered via the asset blacklist window.

Mouselook

  • Enable Mouselook functionality: Enable this if you wish to use Mouselook.
    Mouselook can be entered either by scrolling forward with your mousewheel, or by using the 'M' key on your keyboard (which first equires enabling WASD for movement, in Preferences->General), or from top menu, Advanced → Shortcuts.
    • Show avatar in Mouselook: Will allow you to see yourself when in mouselook. Does not show the entire avatar, but looking down you would see your feet.
    • Show user interface in mouselook: Normally, in mouselook, user interface elements such as the inventory window, IM windows, etc, are hidden. If you enable this, they will remain on screen.
    • Don't close Conversations and Radar window when changing into Mouselook: By default, these windows close when you go into mouselook; enabel this if you prefer that they stay open.
    • Enable context menus in Mouselook: If you enable this, you will be able to open the pie/context menu using Alt Right click.
    • Leave Mouselook using the scroll wheel: If enabled, then you can exit mouselook by scrolling back with your mouse scrollwheel.
    • Show Mouselook Instructions: Will show the “press esc to exit mouselook” message while in mouselook.
    • Show Mouselook Crosshairs: when enabled, crosshairs are displayed in mouselook mode.
    • Enable combat features: Enables IFF (Identification Friend or Foe).
      • Draw target markers: Draws arrows pointing to friend/foe avatars.
      • Range: Max range for the above.
    • Mouselook mouse sensitivity slider: This affects how far your avatar turns in mouselook. Moving the slider to the right causes your avatar to turn farther When you move the mouse, with the same amount of mouse movement.

Movement

  • Arrow keys always move me: The arrow keys move your avatar around if you hit them while chatting in the main chatbar. Disable this if you prefer to use arrows keys to move back/foward in text you have typed, so you can edit it. NOTE: This only affects the main chatbar, at the bottom of the screen. It does not work in chat windows in the main Conversations window.
  • Pressing letter keys affects movement (i.e. WASD) instead of starting local chat: Enabel this if you wish to have the WAD keys move your avatar.
  • Use AZERTY keyboard layout: Enable this if you have an AZERTY keyboard; if your keyboard has a QWERTY layout, leave it disabled.
  • Tap-tap-hold to run: Allows you to double-tap and hold the up arrow key to run.
  • Fly/Land on holding up/down: Allows holding the PgUp or PgDown button to fly/land, respectively.
  • Enable crouch toggle mode: If this is enabled, pressing PgDown will put you into a crouch; you will remain that way till you press it again. Otherwise, you need to press and hold PgDown to stay in a crouch.
  • Disable waiting for pre-jump and landing animations: In effect, a fast jump. Same as the option in the top menu, Avatar→ Movement → Quickjump.
  • Allow avatars to walk backwards on your screen: If this is left off, your avatar will turn around to face the camera when you walk backward. This option affects only what you see, and does not work with scripted AOs, only the client AO (or no AO).
  • Turn avatar towards a selected object: Disable this option if you do not wish your avatar to turn to an object when you select or edit it.
  • Movement at region crossing: At region crossings, the viewer tries to predict movement into the region ahead, using bogus movement until the session with the region ahead has been set up or the prediction becomes unreliable.
    • Unlimited: The last known trajectory of the vehicle will be used until data is provided by the new region. At this point, the vehicle will snap to its updated trajectory.
    • Stop when error gets too large: The last known trajectory of the vehicle will be used for a period of time estimated to be feasible. At this time, the vehicle will stop until data is provided by the new region. If the vehicle was previously on a smooth trajectory, the extrapolated trajectory is likely to be reliable, and the time period may be long. If the vehicle was previously on a bumpy path or making sudden direction changes, the extrapolated trajectory is less likely to be reliable, and the time period may be short (possibly only a few frames, or a fraction of a second).
  • If built in LSL Bridge movelock is active…
    • Always re-lock position after region change: If you enabled the movelock function in top menu, Avatar → Movement → Move Lock (Ctrl-Alt-P), then this keeps the lock enabled if you teleport.
    • Lock and unlock position after stopping or starting movement: With this setting enabled, you will be able to move even if movelock is enabled; movelock will still prevent being pushed.
  • Single click on land: Clicking a spot on the ground can either do nothing, or cause you to walk to that spot.
  • Double click on land:

    Double clicking a spot on the ground can:

    • Do nothing
    • Cause you to walk to that spot
    • Teleport you to that spot. (See also the Firestorm Bridge.)
  • Allow double-click action on scripted objects

Teleports

  • Play sound effect when teleporting: Allows you to hear the teleport sound effect.
  • Always fly after teleporting: If enabled, your avatar will automatically fly when arriving at a new destination, after a teleport.
  • Always show the Teleport cancel button: This allows teleports to be cancelled once started. Note that cancelling a TP in progress may log you out.
  • Disable Teleport Beacons: Disables the red indicator arrows and the vertical beacons that sometimes are shown after a teleport. Thus if you do not land at the exact location you wanted to (due to teleport routing), you will not have the beacon to guide you to your intended destination.
  • Disable Teleport Screens: Disables the black teleport screen during all teleports.
  • Do not close the map when teleporting: Enable this is you want the map to stay open after a TP.
  • Keep 'Show Friends Only' enabled after teleporting: If this is off, then the Show Friends Only option (top menu, World→ Show Friends Only) will automatically disable after teleport. Handy in case you forgot that you enabled it, and then wonder why you can't see anyone.

Map & Minimap

Minimap Options

  • Enable Minimap Rotation: When enabled the minimap will rotate when your avatar turns.
  • Double click on Minimap: Select an action when you double click a point on the Minimap:
    • No Action
    • Open World Map
    • Teleport
  • Pick Radius: Controls the size of the pick radius on the minimap.

Note: Other options concerning minimap are found under PreferencesColors -> Minimap.

World Map Options

  • Filter duplicate landmarks on world map: If enabled, duplicate landmarks are filtered out of the Landmarks drop down menu on the world map.
  • Show additional region information on World Map: Displays avatar count and maturity level on the world map.
  • Show grid coordinates on the world map: Display regions' grid coordinates on the world map.
  • Enable double click teleports on the World map: Allow teleport to a location on the world map by double clicking.

Preferences - User Interface

3D World

  • Show Hover Tips: This allows you to set what hover tips, if any, you see. Disable this to disable all hover tips.
    • On Land: With hover tips enabled, you can also choose to additionally see hover tips on land.

    • Hovertip Trigger Delay: Allows you to choose how long your mouse has to hover over something before you get a hovertip. You can specify different delays for:
      • Tooltips
      • Avatars
      • Objects

    • Show extended information in hover tips: If this is enabled, hovertips will show details about the object your mouse is over, such as the owner, prim count, etc. Otherwise, hover tips will show just the object name.
    • Show avatar group titles in hovertips: If enabled, avatars' current group titles will display, along with the name, when your mouse over them.
  • Floating text fade distance (in m): Sets the distance where floating text starts to fade.
  • Floating text fade range (in m): Sets the range it takes for floating text to go from fully visible to fully invisible.

2D Overlay

  • UI Scaling (may cause side effects): Adjust the slider to choose the UI size. The maximum value depends on your OS: Eg, for Win10, it is 4.5, for earlier Windows, 2.5.
    NOTE that too high may mean you cannot see all of your UI. This may also “break” some UI elements.
  • HUD Scaling (may cause side effects): Adjust the slider to enlarge your entire HUD layer.
    NOTE that if your HUDs are close to the edge of your viewer window, they may disappear out of view.
  • Script Dialogs per Object: Controls how many dialogs get opened:
    • One per object - means if a second one opens either the first or second will not appear.
    • One per Object & Channel - means you can have more than one per object but only if they use different channels to interact.
    • Unconstrained - means you can see as many menus/dialogs as may be generated.
      • Remove “Block” button: Popup windows that are generated by scripts have a “Block” button on them; this allows you to easily mute the object that sent the popup, in cases of popup spam griefing. If you find this confusing and think you might click it by mistake, then you can disable it here.
        Note: muting an object also mutes the object owner; do not block popups from vendors without very good reason, or you will not receive items you purchase from them.
        You can review your listed of blocked people and objects in the Block/Mute List.
  • Script Dialogs Position: You can select where on the screen scripted popup windows should appear.
    • Animate Script Dialogs: Enable this to replicate old style (V1) behavior when opening script dialogs. Only works if they open at the top of the screen.
  • Visible rows per script dialog: Maximum number of lines visible in a script dialog window.
  • Use Pie Menu: Allows you to have pie menus (on by default). If disabled, this gives the V2-style vertical drop down instead. You can override the colors used by the pie menu in PreferencesColors -> Miscellaneous.
    • Enable text animation: If enabled, the text within the pie is also animated.
    • Enable outer ring shade: Adds shading to the outside of the ring, to further draw attention to the selected “slice”.
  • Group Group Notices and chiclets in Top Right: Moves other dialogs (group notices, payments, etc.) to the topright corner (V1 style).
  • Hide group and IM chat chiclets: If this is enabled, the chiclets representing open and new IM and group chat messages will be hidden, leaving on the general chat bubble; if this is clicked, you will get a list of open IMs/groups chats.
  • Use legacy list layout for Notifications window (requires restart): Enable this to use the old style notifications window.
  • Auto-resize Conversations and legacy Notifications lists: If checked, Firestorm will always resize the Conversations and legacy Notifications lists automatically when items are added or removed.
  • Remap shortcuts already used by Linux (Linux only; requires restart): Shortcuts already used by Linux (Ctrl-Alt-Fn) will be remapped to use Ctrl-Shift instead.
  • Prevent statistics window from gaining focus
  • Flashing IM tabs override: allows you to fine tune how long and fast the IM tabs flash:
    • Number of times IM tabs flash
    • IM tab flash rate (Hz)

Top Bars

Status bar

  • Show traffic indicator in upper right corner of the screen: Enable this if you want to display a small traffic meter in the upper right corner of the menu bar. This will show your current packet loss (left bar), and bandwidth usage (right bar).
    • Use legacy period mean per second display for lag meter: If enabled, Firestorm will use the legacy method of showing the period mean per second value in the meter instead of the current observed value.
    • Clicking on traffic indicator opens Statistics instead of the Lag meter: Opens Statistics instead of Lag meter.
  • Show media controls in top menu: If you disable this, the media controls are removed from the upper right of the screen. You can still acess volume controls in PreferencesSound & Media -> Sounds, if needed, or just re-enable this option.

Preferences - Move & View

NOTE: Photographers can access and change many of the camera settings quickly and conveniently via the Phototools Camera Window.

For a general introduction on how to move your avatar and control your view, refer to this page.

View

  • View angle: Affects the camera field of view.
  • Distance: Changes the distance that camera view follows your avatar.
  • Transition Time: How long it takes for the camera to adjust to quickly changed camera positions/angles.
  • Smoothing: Affects how smoothly the camera moves.
  • Disable camera constraints: Allows you to move your camera further away from your avatar, and allows you to cam underground. (Same as top menu bar→ Advanced → Disable camera constraints.)
  • Don't use the mouse wheel to control zoom level of the camera: By default, scrolling the mouse wheel results in the camera zooming in or out; enabling this option will disable that feature.
  • Automatically pose avatar during (select one or more):
    • Build/Edit: When selected, the camera automatically moves to center on the object you're editing.
    • Appearance: (set by default) When selected, the camera automatically zooms in on your avatar when you enter Appearance mode. It also automatically focuses as you select different Body Parts and Clothes tabs. Deselect this to leave the camera where it is.
      • Add Additional Lighting: If enabled, when you go into Appearance, you will have extra lighting to iluminate your avatar. (This option is not available if the one above is disabled.)
      • Show Visual Hints: Option to disable preview thumbnails (visual hints) when editing shape.
  • Clicking your avatar keeps camera position: When enabled, clicking on your avatar will focus the camera at the point that you click on your avatar.
  • Reset camera position after teleport (within a region): If enabled, the camera will revert to the default position after a TP within the region; when disabled, it will remain where it is, relative to your avatar.
  • Reset camera position on avatar movement: If you enable this, the camera will revert to its default position whenever you move your avatar; disable this to inhibit the camera reset. Useful when taking photos, if you need to move your avatar a bit without the camera moving from where you are pointing it.
  • Disable minimum camera zoom distance: Allows the camera to zoom as far in as you want, allowing you to see inside prims.
  • Turn avatar towards camera direction on reset view: If this is enabled (old default behavior), then when you hit Esc to reset your camera, the avatar will turn to face whatever direction your camera was pointing at when you pressed Esc; with this disabled, your avatar will not move, but instead the camera will rotate round behind it.
  • Allow the camera to move without constraints through prims: If enabled will not keep your camera view on the same side of a prim as your avatar. For example put your back against a wall, and you see the other side of the wall. When disabled, your point of view would be over your head, and you see inside.
  • Show the default camera controls minifloater always as opaque: If enabled, the camera conrols window will always be opaque.
  • Re-render temporary derendered objects after teleport: If enabled, temporarily derendered objects will remain derendered until you teleport; otherwise, they stay derendered until your relog, or a manually re-rendered via the asset blacklist window.

Mouselook

  • Enable Mouselook functionality: Enable this if you wish to use Mouselook.
    Mouselook can be entered either by scrolling forward with your mousewheel, or by using the 'M' key on your keyboard (which first equires enabling WASD for movement, in Preferences->General), or from top menu, Advanced → Shortcuts.
    • Show avatar in Mouselook: Will allow you to see yourself when in mouselook. Does not show the entire avatar, but looking down you would see your feet.
    • Show user interface in mouselook: Normally, in mouselook, user interface elements such as the inventory window, IM windows, etc, are hidden. If you enable this, they will remain on screen.
    • Don't close Conversations and Radar window when changing into Mouselook: By default, these windows close when you go into mouselook; enabel this if you prefer that they stay open.
    • Enable context menus in Mouselook: If you enable this, you will be able to open the pie/context menu using Alt Right click.
    • Leave Mouselook using the scroll wheel: If enabled, then you can exit mouselook by scrolling back with your mouse scrollwheel.
    • Show Mouselook Instructions: Will show the “press esc to exit mouselook” message while in mouselook.
    • Show Mouselook Crosshairs: when enabled, crosshairs are displayed in mouselook mode.
    • Enable combat features: Enables IFF (Identification Friend or Foe).
      • Draw target markers: Draws arrows pointing to friend/foe avatars.
      • Range: Max range for the above.
    • Mouselook mouse sensitivity slider: This affects how far your avatar turns in mouselook. Moving the slider to the right causes your avatar to turn farther When you move the mouse, with the same amount of mouse movement.

Movement

  • Arrow keys always move me: The arrow keys move your avatar around if you hit them while chatting in the main chatbar. Disable this if you prefer to use arrows keys to move back/foward in text you have typed, so you can edit it. NOTE: This only affects the main chatbar, at the bottom of the screen. It does not work in chat windows in the main Conversations window.
  • Pressing letter keys affects movement (i.e. WASD) instead of starting local chat: Enabel this if you wish to have the WAD keys move your avatar.
  • Use AZERTY keyboard layout: Enable this if you have an AZERTY keyboard; if your keyboard has a QWERTY layout, leave it disabled.
  • Tap-tap-hold to run: Allows you to double-tap and hold the up arrow key to run.
  • Fly/Land on holding up/down: Allows holding the PgUp or PgDown button to fly/land, respectively.
  • Enable crouch toggle mode: If this is enabled, pressing PgDown will put you into a crouch; you will remain that way till you press it again. Otherwise, you need to press and hold PgDown to stay in a crouch.
  • Disable waiting for pre-jump and landing animations: In effect, a fast jump. Same as the option in the top menu, Avatar→ Movement → Quickjump.
  • Allow avatars to walk backwards on your screen: If this is left off, your avatar will turn around to face the camera when you walk backward. This option affects only what you see, and does not work with scripted AOs, only the client AO (or no AO).
  • Turn avatar towards a selected object: Disable this option if you do not wish your avatar to turn to an object when you select or edit it.
  • Avatar Rotation Turn Speed: Alters the rate at which your avatar responds to turning. High values may result in snappy or jerky movement.
  • Region crossing movement prediction: At region crossings, the viewer tries to predict movement into the region ahead, using bogus movement until the session with the region ahead has been set up or the prediction becomes unreliable.
    • Unlimited: The last known trajectory of the vehicle will be used until data is provided by the new region. At this point, the vehicle will snap to its updated trajectory.
    • Stop when error gets too large: The last known trajectory of the vehicle will be used for a period of time estimated to be feasible. At this time, the vehicle will stop until data is provided by the new region. If the vehicle was previously on a smooth trajectory, the extrapolated trajectory is likely to be reliable, and the time period may be long. If the vehicle was previously on a bumpy path or making sudden direction changes, the extrapolated trajectory is less likely to be reliable, and the time period may be short (possibly only a few frames, or a fraction of a second).
  • If built in LSL Bridge movelock is active…
    • Always re-lock position after region change: If you enabled the movelock function in top menu, Avatar → Movement → Move Lock (Ctrl-Alt-P), then this keeps the lock enabled if you teleport.
    • Lock and unlock position after stopping or starting movement: With this setting enabled, you will be able to move even if movelock is enabled; movelock will still prevent being pushed.
  • Single click on land: Clicking a spot on the ground can either do nothing, or cause you to walk to that spot.
  • Double click on land:

    Double clicking a spot on the ground can:

    • Do nothing
    • Cause you to walk to that spot
    • Teleport you to that spot. (See also the Firestorm Bridge.)
  • Allow double-click action on scripted objects

Teleports

  • Play sound effect when teleporting: Allows you to hear the teleport sound effect.
  • Always fly after teleporting: If enabled, your avatar will automatically fly when arriving at a new destination, after a teleport.
  • Always show the Teleport cancel button: This allows teleports to be cancelled once started. Note that cancelling a TP in progress may log you out.
  • Disable Teleport Beacons: Disables the red indicator arrows and the vertical beacons that sometimes are shown after a teleport. Thus if you do not land at the exact location you wanted to (due to teleport routing), you will not have the beacon to guide you to your intended destination.
  • Disable Teleport Screens: Disables the black teleport screen during all teleports.
  • Do not close the map when teleporting: Enable this is you want the map to stay open after a TP.
  • Keep 'Show Friends Only' enabled after teleporting: If this is off, then the Show Friends Only option (top menu, World→ Show Friends Only) will automatically disable after teleport. Handy in case you forgot that you enabled it, and then wonder why you can't see anyone.

Map & Minimap

Minimap Options

  • Enable Minimap Rotation: When enabled the minimap will rotate when your avatar turns.
  • Double click on Minimap: Select an action when you double click a point on the Minimap:

Preferences - User Interface

3D World

    • On Land: With hover tips enabled, you can also choose to additionally see hover tips on land.

    • Hovertip Trigger Delay: Allows you to choose how long your mouse has to hover over something before you get a hovertip. You can specify different delays for:
      • Tooltips
      • Avatars
      • Objects

    • Show extended information in hover tips: If this is enabled, hovertips will show details about the object your mouse is over, such as the owner, prim count, etc. Otherwise, hover tips will show just the object name.
    • Show avatar group titles in hovertips: If enabled, avatars' current group titles will display, along with the name, when your mouse over them.
  • Floating text fade distance (in m): Sets the distance where floating text starts to fade.
  • Floating text fade range (in m): Sets the range it takes for floating text to go from fully visible to fully invisible.

2D Overlay

  • UI Scaling (may cause side effects): Adjust the slider to choose the UI size. The maximum value depends on your OS: Eg, for Win10, it is 4.5, for earlier Windows, 2.5.
    NOTE that too high may mean you cannot see all of your UI. This may also “break” some UI elements.
  • HUD Scaling (may cause side effects): Adjust the slider to enlarge your entire HUD layer.
    NOTE that if your HUDs are close to the edge of your viewer window, they may disappear out of view.
  • Script Dialogs per Object: Controls how many dialogs get opened:

    • Unconstrained - means you can see as many menus/dialogs as may be generated.
      • Remove “Block” button: Popup windows that are generated by scripts have a “Block” button on them; this allows you to easily mute the object that sent the popup, in cases of popup spam griefing. If you find this confusing and think you might click it by mistake, then you can disable it here.
        Note: muting an object also mutes the object owner; do not block popups from vendors without very good reason, or you will not receive items you purchase from them.
        You can review your listed of blocked people and objects in the Block/Mute List.
  • Script Dialogs Position: You can select where on the screen scripted popup windows should appear.

    • Enable outer ring shade: Adds shading to the outside of the ring, to further draw attention to the selected “slice”.
  • Group Group Notices and chiclets in Top Right: Moves other dialogs (group notices, payments, etc.) to the topright corner (V1 style).
  • Hide group and IM chat chiclets: If this is enabled, the chiclets representing open and new IM and group chat messages will be hidden, leaving on the general chat bubble; if this is clicked, you will get a list of open IMs/groups chats.
  • Use legacy list layout for Notifications window (requires restart): Enable this to use the old style notifications window.
  • Auto-resize Conversations and legacy Notifications lists: If checked, Firestorm will always resize the Conversations and legacy Notifications lists automatically when items are added or removed.

    • Number of times IM tabs flash
    • IM tab flash rate (Hz)

Toolbox Window - Edit/Build Mode - Content Tab

Edit Window - Content Tab

This page covers the Content tab of the toolbox window in Edit mode. This tab is shown in the image to the right. The upper section of this window is described here.

In Build mode, nothing here can be modified, as not applicable. In Edit mode, the fields will be unavailable if the object is not modifyable.

NOTE: The term “Object” is used to refer to a single unlinked prim, or to a linked set of prims.
Everything below applies to objects, or individual prims selected from a linked set using Edit Linked.
Note that the overall properties of a linked set are the same as the properties of the root prim. Also note that each prim in a linked set may have contents; you need to edit them individually to access the contents.

  • New Script: Creates a new LSL script called “New Script” in the Contents section of this tab.
  • Permissions: Opens the permissions window, which allows you to edit the next-owner permissions of everything in this object's inventory.
  • Refresh: Refreshes the list of the object's contents.
  • Reset Scripts: Resets any scripts in the object's contents (assuming the item in mod for you).
    Same as top menu→ Build → Scripts → Reset Scripts.

The rest of the window shows the inventory contents of the prim or object. If there are many items in the object, this list can take some time to populate.

You can right click each item to get a popup menu:

  • Open: Behaves according to the specific item type: For example, Open previews a notecard or LSL script for viewing or editing. Does nothing for certain items like clothes.
  • Properties: Opens the item's property profile over your inventory window. You can change properties here.
  • Rename: Renames the selected inventory item, if it is modifyable.
  • Delete: Deletes the selected inventory item. If the item is copyable, no confirmation is given and you can't undo.

IF the object is moddable for you, you can drag items from your own inventory into this panel to add items to the object's contents. Similarly, you can drag items out of the object, into your inventory. Items which are no copy will be removed from the object's inventory; otherwise, they will remain and you will get a copy.

Objects inherit the permissions of their contents. For example: if you have a fully permissive object (ie, copyable, transferable and modifyable) and you add a no copy item to its contents, then the object becomes no copy. Similarly, if you add a no modify item to the object, then the item will appear no modify when taken into your inventory; your inventory shows the acquired permissions due to the contents of the object.

Toolbox Window - Edit/Build Mode - Content Tab

Edit Window - Content Tab

This page covers the Content tab of the toolbox window in Edit mode. This tab is shown in the image to the right. The upper section of this window is described here.

In Build mode, nothing here can be modified, as not applicable. In Edit mode, the fields will be unavailable if the object is not modifyable.

NOTE: The term “Object” is used to refer to a single unlinked prim, or to a linked set of prims.
Everything below applies to objects, or individual prims selected from a linked set using Edit Linked.
Note that the overall properties of a linked set are the same as the properties of the root prim. Also note that each prim in a linked set may have contents; you need to edit them individually to access the contents.

  • New Script: Creates a new LSL script called “New Script” in the Contents section of this tab.
  • Permissions: Opens the permissions window, which allows you to edit the next-owner permissions of everything in this object's inventory.
  • Refresh: Refreshes the list of the object's contents.
  • Reset Scripts: Resets any scripts in the object's contents (assuming the item in mod for you).
    Same as top menu→ Build → Scripts → Reset Scripts.

The rest of the window shows the inventory contents of the prim or object. If there are many items in the object, this list can take some time to populate.

The folder shows the total number of items inside it: Contents (X Elements)

You can right click each item to get a popup menu:

  • Open: Behaves according to the specific item type: For example, Open previews a notecard or LSL script for viewing or editing. Does nothing for certain items like clothes.
  • Properties: Opens the item's property profile over your inventory window. You can change properties here.
  • Rename: Renames the selected inventory item, if it is modifyable.
  • Delete: Deletes the selected inventory item. If the item is copyable, no confirmation is given and you can't undo.

IF the object is moddable for you, you can drag items from your own inventory into this panel to add items to the object's contents. Similarly, you can drag items out of the object, into your inventory. Items which are no copy will be removed from the object's inventory; otherwise, they will remain and you will get a copy.

Objects inherit the permissions of their contents. For example: if you have a fully permissive object (ie, copyable, transferable and modifyable) and you add a no copy item to its contents, then the object becomes no copy. Similarly, if you add a no modify item to the object, then the item will appear no modify when taken into your inventory; your inventory shows the acquired permissions due to the contents of the object.

Searching

It is possible to search the menus for specific words or phrases, by typing into the search bar at the top. For example, typing in the word upload will result in matches on up to four top menu items: Avatar, Build, Advanced and Develop. In short, using search will filter out what is shown in the top menu bar, removing all items except those that contain what you searched for.

Matched items are highlighed in color (you can change the highlight color in Preferences → Colors -> Miscellaneous→ Preferences Search Highlight Color).

To clear the search, and have the Preferences window revert to its normal state, just click the 'x' at the far right end of the search field.

Menu search is enabled (or disabled) in Preferences -> Advanced→ Show Menu Search.

Camera Presets

Hovering your mouse over the small camera icon, or clicking it (depending on your preferences setting), will open the Camera Presets window. Camera presets can be created in Avatar menu → Camera Controls → Position.

Graphics Presets

: Hovering your mouse over this symbol, or clicking it (depending on your preferences setting), will open the Graphics Presets window. Please note that this symbol will only show if you have created a graphic preset in PreferencesGraphics -> General.

Right Click Menus (Contextual Menus)

In many situations, right clicking will present a contextual menu with options and operations that are available. Most of these are covered on other pages, such as Inventory, for example. This page covers right clicking on avatar and avatar attachments.

Note that depending on how you set Preferences -> User Interface -> 2D Overlay→ Use Pie Menu, you will either get a round wheel (i.e. pie) menu, or a linear menu.

Yourself or Your Name Tag

Note: For this, you actually need to right click on your avatar, not an attachment, and a mesh body is an attachment. So it may be easier to right click on your name tag.

Most of these are fairly self-explanatory.

  • Sit Down/Stand Up
  • Take Off
  • Change Outfit (context menu only)
  • Edit Outfit (Appearance → Edit Outfit on the pie menu)
  • Edit Shape (Appearance → Edit Shape on the pie menu)
  • Hover Height: When you click this a slider appears on your screen that will allow you to adjust the hover height of your avatar. (Appearance → Hover Height on the pie menu) This can also be accessed via the Quick Preferences button.
  • Reset Skeleton: Used to fix Bento-induced skeleton glitches.
  • Reset Skeleton and Animations: Used to fix Bento-induced skeleton glitches and the associated animations.
  • Reset Mesh LOD: Resets LOD on meshes which appear broken.
  • Friends (context menu only).
  • Groups
  • Script Info: Counts the number of scripts the avatar is currently wearing as well as their memory usage and reports it to nearby chat (visible only to you).
    When you right-click on your tag or on a non-prim part of your avatar, you'll get the full count of all worn scripts. If you right-click a prim instead, the count will apply only to that attachment or object.
    The script info functionality is provided by the LSL bridge.
  • Show Textures: Displays all textures used to bake your avatar.
  • Texture Refresh: Refreshes avatar textures that are failing to fully load on their own.
  • Gestures (pie only)
  • Block particle owner: This will be grayed out

On Your Own Attachment

When right clicking on an attachment you are wearing, you will also see:

Another Person's Avatar or Name Tag

  • Go To (pie menu only).
  • View Profile
  • Add Friend
  • Give Calling Card
  • IM
  • Call
  • Invite to group
  • Reset Skeleton: Used to fix Bento-induced skeleton glitches.
  • Reset Skeleton and Animations: Used to fix Bento-induced skeleton glitches and the associated animations.
  • Reset Mesh LOD: Resets LOD on meshes which appear broken.
  • Annoyance (In pie menu, these two will show as separate entries)
    • Block: Adds the person to your block list.
    • Report: to file an abuse report.
  • Freeze: If you have parcel permissions (you are the parcel owner, or you have the ability in the land group), this will keep the avatar from moving or talking for 30 seconds, giving you time to deal with a griefer or other problem.
  • Zoom in
  • Pay
  • Derender (in the pie menu click Derender to choose Temporary)
  • Derender and Blacklist (in the pie menu click Derender to choose Blacklist)
  • Script Info
  • Show Textures: Will show a window with all textures on that avatar.
  • Texture Refresh: Refreshes avatar textures that are failing to fully load on their own.
  • Render Normally: The viewer will use the maximum complexity setting to determine whether the avatar will render.
  • Do Not Render: The viewer will never render this avatar.
  • Render Fully: The viewer will always render this avatar.
    For avatars that are set to always or never render, they will be shown in the World menu → Avatar Render Settings panel.
  • Block particle owner: This will mute the owner of the particles; thus you will not see the particles from that person. You will mute the owner entirely.

Another Person's Attachment

When you right click another avatar's attachments, you get these additional options:

On an Object

  • Touch
  • Build (context) or Create (pie)
  • Open
  • Sit Here/Stand Up
    If an object is scripted for a different form of interaction, a different command might appear in place of Sit Here.
  • Object → Profile (context only): Opens Object Profile, which contains name, creator, perms, and other info. Although the pie menu doesn't have this option, all the same info is available through other pie menu commands.
  • Object → Inspect (context) or More → More → Inspect (pie): Opens Inspect Objects floater, including info about each prim on the object, and allows easy access to the creator and owner's profiles.
  • Object → Script Info (context) or More → More → Script → Script Info (pie): Counts the scripts and memory usage of the object and reports it to nearby chat (visible only to you).
  • Object → Link/Unlink/Edit Linked Parts (context only).
  • Object → Compile Mono/Compile LSL/Reset Scripts/Run Scripts/Stop Scripts (More → More → Script in the pie menu).
  • Zoom In (context only)
  • Put On → Wear/Add/Attach/Attach HUD
  • Annoyance → Report Abuse (context) or Report (pie).
  • Annoyance → Block: Block is the same as Mute. If you block an object, you may be muting its owner.
  • Derender: Derendering removes an object from your view. You will still bump into it if it isn't phantom, and you will hear it if it creates sound or text (that is, it's not muted), but you cannot see it. The object will remain derendered until you relog or leave the sim.
  • Derender + Blacklist: Removes an object from your view and adds them to the Asset Blacklist,. You will still bump into it if it isn't phantom, and you will hear it if it creates sound or text (that is, it's not muted), but you cannot see it. The object will remain derendered until you remove it from your asset blacklist, then relog or leave the sim.
  • Return: Only if you have returns rights, due to ownership of the object, or group/parcel rights.
  • Take. Only if you own the object.
  • Take Copy: Only if the object is copyable and owned by you, or flagged as “Anyone can copy”.
  • Pay: On scripted vendors.
  • Buy: On objects set for sale.
  • Delete
  • Block particle owner: This will mute the owner of the particles thus you will not see the particles from that person. You will mute the owner entirely.
