This tab deals primarily with access control to the region/estate you own or manage. If the estate comprises several regions, changes made will optionally be applied to all regions.

The top lines are informative: the who the name of the estate and the estate owner.

The next section concerns broad access rights and options:

• Allow only residents and groups listed below: If enabled, then only residents who are specifically allowed in other sections of this tab, will be allowed access. If this is unchecked, then any resident may access the region/estate - unless otherwise excluded (see below for ban lists). Blocking access this way overrides any parcel access controls that might be set.
• Anyone can visit: This is enabled if the option above is disabled - and vice versa.
  • Must be 18+: If enabled, only residents who have verified that they are adults, on the SL website, will be allowed access. Note that this is a parcel-level setting, and is not the same as the Adult setting, which is estate-level. It is possible to have Adult access without being age verified.
  • Must have payment Info on File: If this is enabled, only residents who have payment information on file with LL will be allowed access to the parcel.
• Parcel owners can be more restrictive: Enabling this permits parcel owners on the estate, to have more restrictive access settings. If this is off, then they will not be able to limit access more than what is specified in this panel.

• Allow Voice Chat: If enabled, resident will be able to use local voice chat; otherwise this will not be available (thought private voice IM will be).
• Allow Direct Teleport: Lets Residents teleport to specific locations within your estate's regions. If you want to force visitors to arrive at a specific area in the estate, disable this and use a telehub. If this is enabled, parcels can still set landing points.

The four lists below manage specific inclusions and exclusions to estate access. Below each are two buttons:

• Add: Opens the Avatar Selector to allow you to select people to add to the list.
• Remove: Removes the currently selected avatar(s) from the list.

• Estate Managers: The estate/region owner may specify up to 10 people who can manage the estate on their behalf. Only the owner can add/remove people here. Estate rights gives a great deal of power, so be very careful before granting such rights to anyone.
• Allowed Residents: Here you can specify individuals who will have access to the estate/region. (Note that allowed avatars may be banned at parcel level.)
• Allowed groups: Clicking Add will open the Groups Selector, which you can use to add up to 63 groups. Members of these groups will be allowed access to the region/estate.
• Banned Residents: If you wish to prevent people from accessing the region/estate, they may be added here.

Finally, two buttons:

• Send Message to Estate: Allows a message to be broadcast to the entire estate.
• Kick Resident from Estate: Opens the Avatar Selector to allow you to select someone to be expelled from the region/estate. Note: This doesn't automatically add the person to the list of banned users.

This tab is used to help diagnose and resolve problems the region might be experiencing, particularly region/server lag.

The top three check boxes disable vital functions of the region; do not use them lightly! They can serve not only to try to identify potential problems with objects on the region, but also as emergency measures to combat griefing.

• Disable Scripts: Disable all scripts on the region.
• Disable Collisions: Disables collisions from occurring.
• Disable Physics: Disables the physics system. Note that while this is off, no avatar will be able to move.

Object return allows you to return all objects owned by a given person. This is sueful in griefing situations, but use with extreme care, select the name carefully as there is no way to undo this!

• Resident: Opens the avatar selector to allow you to select whose objects to return.
• Options:
  • With Scripts: Only returned objects if they are scripted; unscripted ones will be left.
  • On someone else's land: Will return only objects on parcels owned by someone other than you.
  • In every region in this estate: Useful if you own several regions, which have been littered with objects by the same person.
• Return: Click once you have selected the person and options. You will be asked confirmation. Again, this cannot be undone; use with care!

The next two buttons display lists of objects, which can be used to find any that might be causing excessive region lag:

• Get Top Colliders: Opens the list of top colliders.
• Get Top Scripts: Opens the list of top scripted objects.

The last two buttons concern region restarts:

• Restart Region: Schedule a region restart. You can indicate how much to wait before this will commence, the default being 120secs (2mins). A message will be sent to the region, warning people of the restart.
  Restarts can help resolve some issues with a region.
• Delay Restart: Delays the region restart by one hour. Use this as a temporary measure if there's an ongoing rolling restart but it's essential for you to get something done first, such as hosting an event.

< Previous Page - ^ Main Page - Next Page >

• Key Experiences: Any Experience may be a Key. Key Experiences have permission to run on this estate. Additionally, if the estate does not allow public access, residents participating in any Key Experience may enter the estate and can remain as long as they are in a Key Experience.

• Allowed Experiences: Only Experiences that are land-scope may be allowed. Allowed experiences have permission to run on this estate.

• Blocked Experiences: Only grid-scope experiences may be blocked. Blocked Experiences may not run on this estate.

• Calc. expressions (calc): Used to perform a calculation on the command line to figure out an answer quickly. Calculations adhere to precedence rules where multiplication/division occur before addition/subtraction. Therefore, example: “calc 1.3+2*5” results in “11.1” as the answer, because the multiply occurs before the addition.
• Change Draw Distance (dd): Changes the draw distance of the rendered view to the specified number of meters. Example: “dd 32” sets the draw distance to 32 meters.
• Max. Bandwidth (bw): Change your current maximum bandwidth. This is set in Preferences→ Network & Files -> Connection.

  • 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.

  • 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.

• 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 V5 based windows: If enabled, Friends and Groups will open in the People panel; otherwise they will open in the Contacts panel.
• Use legacy object properties: If enabled, this will show the old style window when right clicking an item in Inventory and selecting Properties. If disabled, properties will be shown within the Inventory window instead.

• 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.

  • 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.

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/68/124/22

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*

This window is accessed via Preferences→ Move & View -> Movement→ Joystick Configuration (button).

“Joystick” refers to compatible USB input devices, which can be used to control Second Life in exciting ways for exploration, moviemaking, and more. Examples are the 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator, other joysticks, gamepads, and so on.

Assuming you have a 3D movement device installed and configured, Joystick Flycam mode is enabled by pressing Alft-Shift-F. This moves your camera, rather than your avatar.

This window is fairly technical, although the default settings generally work well with no or minimal changes. For details, see this SL Wiki page.

One user, Xente Aeon, makes the following recommendations for the SpaceNavigator (in this JIRA):

• In the preferences of the SpaceNavigator, apply “reverse” on the button called “zoom” that actually controls the movement up and down.
• In the Joystick preferences, change some, like this:
  • X Axis Mapping: 0
  • Y Axis Mapping: 1
  • Z Axis Mapping: 2
  • Pitch Mapping: 3
  • Yaw Mapping: 4
  • Roll Mapping: 0
  • Zoom Mapping: -1
• Leave unchecked: Direct 3D Zoom and Cursor, but check “Auto Level”

Refer to this page in the SL wiki for other info, including known issues.

One user, Kentdavis Edman, makes the following recommendations for the Steelseries 3GC Controller:

See the official SL Logitech Gamepad page.

linux users do not need a 3dconnexion driver in order for the device to work in Firestorm. In fact, if you have a driver installed, it will conflict with the built-in support for the 3dconnexion device. So if you do not need the 3dconnexion device for anything else, uninstall the driver.

Alternately,you can stop it before running Firestorm. If you are using the free spacenavd driver, you can stop it by giving the following command in terminal:

sudo /etc/init.d/spacenavd stop

The Top (Menu) Bar has up to 4 lines.

Shows Viewer name, your name and version number

Avatar, Communicate, World, Build, Content, Help (displayed by default), Advanced and Develop (display is optional), Draw (draw distance, not on the Firestorm skins), Lindens, buy lindens, time, music note (start and stop music),play button (play or pause media) and volume controller (hover over it to open. At the bottom of the volume slider is a gear/sprocket. Click it to pull up the Master Media preferences.) The menus are all listed below.

Can now have your location shown in the top (menu) bar.

Right click any where on the top (menu) bar and you can enable and disable the following:

• Show Navigation Bar & Favorites Bar
• Show Search Bar
• show Location in Top Menu

• Arrows allow you to go back and forth between your current and previous location
• Home icon will allow you to TP home
• Land Shows you About Land
• Sky is the Advanced Sky Editor
• Location bar icon, (gives more info), name of the location, location rating, damage/health level, the star (add to LMs), Search bar, Arrow (gives full list of TP History)

With Navigation Bar enabled, right click and a popup will display with the following:

• Show Coordinates
• Parcel Properties
• Add to Landmarks
• Cut
• Copy
• Paste
• Delete
• Select All

• Drag a LM to keep for easily accessible LMs of the most used LMs.
• Right click on the favorites or the Menu row and you will get a popup that has 'Show Navigation bar, Show Favorites Bar, Show Mini-Location Bar'
• From here you can enable or disable the Navigation Bar and Favorites bar.
• If 'Show Mini-Location Bar' is enabled then the Navigation bar is disabled.

A number of buttons appear, by default, on the left margin of the screen, as shown here. These buttons are, by default:

• Choose Avatar
• Appearance
• Inventory
• Search
• Places
• Voice Settings
• Minimap
• Snapshot

See Changing the Button Layout below for information on how you can reorder and otherwise modify the layout and look of these buttons.

The tool bar resembles this:

Chat bar for nearby chat (at the moment cannot be minimized - there is a workaround so cursor doesn't have to be focused in chat bar).

Clicking this will hide or show the local chat bar.

The following buttons appear in the bottom button bar, by default.

• Conversations
• Speak button
• Destinations
• People Icon
• Profile Button
• Walk/Run/Fly
• Camera
• How To

Other buttons are available, and may be added to any of the button bars.

When conversation is active, the person or groups icon will show in the lower right hand side. There is a small chat bubble will appear to show how many unread Conversations that you have. click on the chat bubble icon and next to each group tab, the number of unread conversations will be shown for that group.

• For example: You have 5 conversations open. The chat bubble says you have 20 unread conversations. When you left click the chat bubble you see that 3 of them has numbers by them. One has 10, a second has 6 and the third has 4 for a total of 20 unread conversations.

Located between the IM icons and the chat bubble Icon. When someone/something gives you something it will show up there. Click it to Accept, Discard, or Block (Mute).

Shows the number of notifications that you have. Clicking on the icon brings up the list of notifications with a small burg about the notification. clicking on the notification will give you a popup with more detail and if there is an attachment you will accept the attachment from there just by clicking on the attachment itself.

You can customize the look of the buttons considerably. To do so, right click any button; a menu appears:

• Remove this button: As the name suggests, it removes the button from the bar.
• Toolbar buttons…: Opens the Toolbar Buttons window.

• The next three options control how buttons are aligned to the right of the chat bar: Left, Center, Right. For vertically placed buttons, alignment can be Top, Middle, Bottom.

• Icons and labels: Select this if you want buttons to have both icon and text labels.
• Icons only: Select this if you prefer buttons to have icons only.
• Labels only: Select this if you want buttons to have text labels only.

• Autosize Buttons: Buttons will be as large as the contents.
• Fixed Size Buttons: All buttons will be the same size.
• Buttons Fill Bar: The buttons will fill the available space between the char bar and the right edge of the screen.

• Locked: If you enable this, it will prevent you accidentally moving or removing buttons from the toolbar.
