• Show Hover Tips: This allows you to set what hover tips, if any, you see. Disable this to disable all hover tips. Otherwise, enable it and then you can opt to indicate which hover tips you want to show:
  • on All Objects
  • 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.
• Flaoting text fade range (in m): Sets the range it takes for floating text to go from fully visible to fully invisible.

• 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.
  • Automatically detect UI scaling factor: (Windows only) Have FS determine the best possible value for your system.

• 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 Preferences→ Colors -> 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: Enable this to use the old style notifications window.

• 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)

• 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 Preferences→ Sound & Media -> Sounds, if needed, or just re-enable this option.
• Show Location in top menu: Shows the current region and parcel names in the top menu bar.

• Show Navigation and Search Bar: Add this bar to the top of the screen.
  • Show Search Bar: Allows the search portion of the navigation bar to be enabled/disabled

• Open avatar profile directly when clicking on its name: If enabled, when you click on someone's name in chat, it opens the profile immediately. With this disabled, you get a small summary window.
• Use web profiles by default: Displays user profiles as web profiles rather than in a profile window.
• Disable automatic opening of block list: Enable this option if you do not want the block (mute) list to open when you block a person or object.
• 'Friends' and 'Groups' in 'Comm' menu opens the V3 based windows: If enabled, Friends and Groups will open in the People panel; otherwise they will open in the Contacts panel.

• Use stand-alone windows:
  • Group profiles: If enabled, group profile windows will open in separate windows; if disabled, they will open in the same window, with the second opened replacing the first.
  • Teleport history: if enabled, teleport history will open in a window separate from the landmarks window.
  • Block/mute list: Keeps the list of blocked residents separate from the people panel.
  • Landmarks, place details and teleport history details: Similar to the above, but keeps each type of “location” window separate, rather than grouping onto a single window.

• Extend teleport history by: Enable these options to record additional information in your teleport history:
  • Position
  • Date

• Contact list options: Options concerning what is shown in your friends list, and how it is sorted.
  Note that some options have no effect if you have the corresponding option disabled in Prererences → General. For example, if you have disabled display names, then sorting your friends list by display name will have no effect, and therefore is best set to Username.

  • Hide empty system folders from inventory: If enabled, the inventory window will not display any system folders (eg, Favorites, Landmarks, etc) that have nothing in them.
  • Show the Received Items folder in normal inventory: If enabled, this folder will be show in the normal inventory list of folders, rather than as a panel under the folder list.
    • Always show Received Items buttons at th bottom of inventory: Only available if the option above is enabled. When this is on, you will also have the button showing on the inventory window.
  • Allow separate search terms on each tab in inventory: If enabled, you can enter different words/phrases in the search bar of the Inventory window: each of Inventory, Recent and Worn can be searched independently.

• Notification Display Settings (Popups, console, toasts): This is where you can fine tune the way your “Toasts” look and act:
  • Space between lowest Toast and bottom (pixels)

There are several ways to adjust different aspects of font size in Firestorm, each of them affecting different parts of the user interface (UI – the visible parts of the viewer, such as windows, text, toolbars, menu, etc.) or having different side effects.

If your font size is abnormally small, and the problem began after a Windows 10 update, see here.

If your font is sized normally, but you'd like it larger or smaller, see the settings below.

• What it does: The chat console is the onscreen scrolling text that moves up the left-hand side of the screen and has a semi-transparent background by default. This setting adjusts the font size of that text only.
• To find it: Type “onscreen” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences –> Chat –> Visuals.
• To use it: Select “Small,” “Medium,” “Large,” or “Huge.” Click OK when you're done.

• What it does: This setting applies to the chat appearing in local chat, IMs, or group chats in the Conversations window and its tabs.
• To find it: Type “chat window font” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences –> Chat –> Chat Windows.
• To use it: Select “Small,” “Medium,” “Large,” or “Huge.” Click OK when you're done.

• What it does: This setting adjusts font size in all areas of the viewer without altering the size of windows.
• To find it: Type “adjustment” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences –> User Interface –> Font.
• To use it: Change the number in the box, click OK, and relog.
• Side effects: Text in some windows may get all or partly cut off or may overlap with other text. The only Font Size Adjustment setting that is fully supported is the default of 0.¹⁾

• What it does: UI Scaling changes the size of your entire UI, including all the text.
• To find it: Type “ui scaling” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences –> User Interface –> 2D Overlay.
• To use it: Adjust the slider up (for a larger UI) or down (for a smaller UI). Hitting OK at the bottom of the Preferences window will enable the change. Make your changes in small increments until you're familiar with the settings, as large changes can have significant effects.
• Side effects: In some cases, a UI that is too large for your computer screen can cause the buttons at the bottom of Preferences to become inaccessible and will require you to clear your settings, restore previously backed up settings, or go to the Advanced menu → Set UI Size to Default (use Ctrl-Alt-D to enable this menu) in order to make the Preferences usable again. Even at not-so-huge settings, text in some windows may get all or partly cut off or may overlap with other text. The only UI Scaling setting that is fully supported is the default of 1.00.²⁾

These classes are based on our official Firestorm release and are conducted in voice and text except when otherwise noted. There's no need to talk, but you may want to be able to hear. We also usually have help available to answer questions in text. This schedule is subject to change.

Note that it is best if you are on Firestorm for the classes.

Locations are indicated in the far right column as follows:

• FS: Firestorm Support region classroom, http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Firestorm%20Ghost%20Town/24/11/4000
• JU: Junkyard University, http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Junkyard%20Blues%20South/112/174/22

Class times and days change regularly. Classes may be held any day of the week, with start times from 8am to 7pm SLT. Nonetheless, if the class times are still inconvenient you may prefer to watch recorded versions of some of these classes on YouTube.

*All times SLT*

So you saved an outfit, but when you look in that outfit's folder, it's empty. This can happen now and then, and it's caused either by something you're wearing, or something you aren't wearing. That does tend to cover any and all possibilities, but it will be made clear in the solution below.

If you use RLVa there is a chance that it has restrictions that are interfering with the wearing or removing of items that can cause this empty outfit problem, so it is recommended that, temporarily, RLVa be disabled.

• Open Preferences → Firestorm → Extras (For 4.7.5 and older, Preferences → Firestorm → General)
• At the top is Allow Remote Scripted Viewer Controls. If this is enabled (checked), uncheck it.
• If you had to uncheck this setting, click OK at the bottom and relog; otherwise, close Preferences.

In case the problem is caused by something you're wearing, it is recommended that you detach all objects and wear “default” body parts. The easiest and quickest way to accomplish this is to go to the Avatar menu > Avatar Health submenu and click Reset Default (male or female).

This may take a moment or two, depending on the availability of the asset server, your connection quality to the server, and your viewer performance. If it takes a long time, or appears to never happen, try relogging. If you had to relog for step 2 above, try going to a different region, such as Hippo Hollow.

If your avatar still doesn't change, there may be other issues, and the Bake Fail page may help resolve them.

There are two folders, at a minimum, that are involved in your avatar's appearance. The first is the Current Outfit folder. This folder contains links to all the items that you are wearing. If it contains a broken link, or a link not worn, this can cause an outfit save to fail. So, open that folder and delete any broken links, or links that are not shown as worn.

The second folder, in this case, is the outfit's folder itself. Being empty, it is recommended that you delete that folder now.

A third folder may be involved if you are having a particular kind of bake failure: the Lost & Found folder. Normally, Lost & Found contains only objects, linksets and coalesced object sets. If you find any wearables in that folder, delete them. If they are worn, take them off first, then delete. If you cannot detach these wearables, relog, or try going to a different region, such as Hippo Hollow.

At this point, you should be ready to create and save an outfit. For an extra measure of sanity, it is recommended that you relog now. But you don't have to; you can attempt step 6 without relogging. However, if it fails a relog may help.

To ensure that you only wear the items you want in your outfit, manually select and wear each item. Don't try wearing an outfit that you want to modify, as it may contain something causing the problem. Instead, wear one item at a time from that outfit; anything that may cause a problem may then self-identify.

Once you are wearing all you want for that outfit, try to save it again, then check the outfit's folder for content.

In general, Nvidia graphics cards and drivers work very well with Second Life.

This issued occured with nVidia driver 378.49, when Advanced Lighting Model is disabled, on 64-bit viewers only.

Bug is fixed with nVidia driver 378.66 or newer.

Refer to this JIRA issue for more information.

If you have started crashing following an Nvidia driver update, try going back to the driver version that worked for you. Be sure to completely uninstall the recent driver before installing the older one.

See also this page.

If you have Nvidia Shadowplay installed, disable it. Google “how to disable nvidia shadowplay” for instructions.

One user reports that on a recent Nvidia Experience version, turning off Share in the Settings menu disables Shadowplay without having to go through Windows controls.

There is a known Nvidia driver crash that occurs for some users on El Capitan and Sierra. See Mac El Capitan Nvidia Driver Crash and Mac Sierra Issues.

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.

: When hovering your mouse over this symbol, it will open the Graphics Presets window. Please note that this symbol will only show if you have created a graphic preset in Preferences→ Graphics -> General.

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

• 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. (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.)

• 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.
• Render blocked (muted) avatars as particle cloud: Will render muted avatars as clouds.
• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Disable avatar turning to face camera locally when walking backward: 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.

• 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

• Flight Assist drop-down: The bridge can offer flight assist functionality, if this is enabled. Note that you should not wear any other scripted flight assist if you turn this on, as they will conflict. (Requires the bridge to be enabled.)
  Flight speed can be boosted; you can select by how much.
  Note that the SL flight height limit is now 5000m; below this, a flight assist is not required.

• Block left-click sitting on objects: Some objects are set such that a left click will result in sitting on them rather than touching; enable this if you want to avoid accidentally sitting on such objects. But note that this will prevent all left-click sitting; you will need to explicitly right click and select sit from the menu.
• Allow scripts to show map UI (llMapDestination): Certain teleport systems open the map for teleporting when clicked. Enable this if you wish to allow this feature.
  If you find the world map unexpectedly opening for you at some locations, and re-opening if you shut it, disable this setting temporarily, until you leave that location.

• Revoke Permissions: Removes an object's permission to animate or control your input. If this is not done, the object retains permission to animate your avatar indefinitely¹⁾:
  • Never (original behaviour): Objects will retain permission to always animate your avatar.
  • Revoke on SIT: Revokes permission when you sit on the object.
  • Revoke on STAND: Revokes permission when you stand up from sitting on the object.
  • Revoke on SIT and STAND: Revokes permission when you either sit or stand.
• Texture Lag Protection:
  • Automatically hide large objects with high texture area: Enabling this will cause objects with large texture area to not be rendered. This can be used to combat griefing done via specific objects.
  • Threshold: Sets the threshold area to use; prims over this value will not be rendered. This may cause some normal objects to not display either.
• Enable Spam Protection: These items allow you to protect yourself against various forms of spam, such as might be used in griefing attacks:
  • Max lines in a single message: this is the limit where the spam protection will start blocking messages from that source. ie. anything over this number of lines will be clocked.
  • Max events from same source: indicates the maximum number of events that can be recieved from a single source in 2 seconds before the source is blocked.
  • Sound play requests multiplier:
  • Sound preload requests multiplier:
  • Unblock all spam sources: will unblock anything that was blocked by the spam protection.
• Confirm before paying. Threshold: Shows a confirmation dialog before paying sums over this value. To always show a confirmation, set the value to 0 (zero).

• Amount that Avatar's head follows Mouse: Set both these sliders to zero if you do not want your avatar's head following the mouse cursor for unfocused mouse movement. They do not affect whether your head moves to look at something your camera is focused on.
  • Vertical range that avatar's head follows mouse: Controls how far or how little your head moves up and down to follow the movement of your mouse cursor.
  • Horizontal range that avatar's head follows mouse: Controls how far or how little your head moves left and right to follow the movement of your mouse cursor.
  • Disable random avatar eye movements: As the title suggests.

• Selection beam particle effects:
  • Beam updates/sec: Controls how many particles the stream uses
  • Scale: Width of beam particle effect
• Enable selection beam: Disable/enable the display of the particle beam

  • Allow OpenCollar protocol to enable or disable the built in AO
  • Allow LockMeister protocol to enable or disable the built in AO

• Automatically change environment to use region/parcel settings: If enabled, your WL settings will change if you TP into a region that has windlight region-level windlight settings. This is the same as top menu bar→ World → Environment Editor → Environment Settings→ Always use parcel/region settings.
• Crossfade region environment sky presets changes made from quick prefs: Dynamically transitions sky settings.
• Crossfade region environment water presets changes made from quick prefs: Dynamically changes water settings.

• Use Firestorm Parcel Windlight sharing: Enables parcel level windlight sharing.
  • Auto apply WL settings from friend's land: If enabled the viewer will automatically see the windlight settings (no prompt) on a friends land if set.
  • Auto apply WL settings from my groups' land: If enabled the viewer will automatically see the windlight settings (no prompt) on group land if they are set.
  • Auto apply WL settings from any parcel: If enabled the viewer will automatically see the windlight settings (no prompt)on all parcels with it set by the owner.
  • Crossfade region environment changes for Parcel WL: Allows for dynamic changes between WL settings when a region with WL settings has parcels with their own, different, settings.
• Crossfading duration: You can indicate how long the above crossfade transition effect should last.
• Cloud Texture: You can select a different texture to be used to create Windlight clouds. Select from the drop down list. A relog is mostly likely required after changing.

Please refer to this page for more information on using Windlight with Firestorm.
