Per the Second Life Wiki, this floater displays information on all the linksets in the current region that the user has the ability to edit.

Filter by:

• Refresh list Click to refresh the linkset list from the server. Use after you add or delete a linkset inworld.

• Select all Click to select all linksets in the list.

• Select none Click to deselect all selected linksets in the list.

• Show Beacon Select to display a beacon indicating the inworld location of each selected linkset.
  Use to locate hard-to-find or invisible linksets in the region.

• Take Click to take the selected linkset(s) into your inventory.

• Take Copy Click to take a copy of the selected linkset(s) into your inventory.

• Teleport Me To It Teleports you to the selected linkset.
  Useful to find faraway linksets.
  Note this button is only enabled when you have selected one linkset.

• Return Click to returns the selected linkset(s) to the owner's inventory.

• Delete Click to delete the selected linkset(s) from the region.

• Choose Linkset Use Change the linkset use attribute of the selected linkset(s).

• Walkability Coefficients Enter individual walkability coefficients for each character type (A, B, C, D).
  Walkability coefficients range from 0% to 100% to determine the influence the effect the linkset has on a character's speed while the character is traversing across the linkset object.
  For example, a linkset with Walkability Coefficient of 50% for character type A will cause characters of type A to reduce their speed by half while the character is traversing the object.

• Apply Changes Click to apply changes to the selected linkset(s) use type and/or walkability coefficients.

• For linksets with use fields marked as “[restricted]”, only certain linkset use modes are available.
  This restriction is the result of the object not having modifiable permission enabled for the user.

• For linksets with use fields marked as “[concave]”, the linkset use modes for Material Volume and Exclusion Volume are not available.
  This restriction is the result of the shape object not being convex. All pathfinding volumes **must* be convex.

• The “[Terrain]” linkset is available to be viewed and edited by the estate managers only.
  Additionally, while the walkability coefficients for the “[Terrain]” linkset are modifiable by estate managers, the Linkset Use field of “[Terrain]” linkset is not modifiable by anyone and will always be “Walkable”.

Please see Recent Crashes on Windows, following a Driver Update for this issue.

If you have Intel Graphics HD, Intel Graphics HD2500 and Intel Graphics HD4000, and are using the 64bit version of Firestorm 5.0.7 or later, on Windows 10, refer to this page.

If you don't have the above graphics and this occurs, chances are good that some part of cache is corrupt. Deleting it should solve the problem.

• Locate your cache folder. You will probably need to do this manually, if you are unable to log in. Use a file manager (like Windows Explorer for Windows system, Dolphin, or some such) to locate the cache folder. In its default location, the cache folder is hidden on most OSs. To find it, you will need to show hidden folders. Default cache locations are:
  • Windows 7, 8.1, and 10: press [Win] + [R] and type %localappdata%, then look for the Firestorm folder. (This method avoids having to un-hide folders.)
  • Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firestorm
  • linux: ~/.firestorm/cache or ~/.firestorm_x64/cache
• Delete the cache folder you located.
• Log back into SL, to a quiet region (try Hippo Hollow, Aich or Hatton). Allow your inventory and cache to repopulate fully.

Windows only: If the above doesn't work, then click the speaker icon in the system tray, then touch the volume slider, just enough to change the volume slightly. It may be that the Windows sound system has stalled; this should “give it a kick”.

If the above fails, then try doing a full wipe of all settings.

This indicates that a debug setting (a control) is missing a comment. It is unclear which comment is missing, but the fix is to reinstall Firestorm using the Clean Install procedures.

Ref. FIRE-12339

This is almost always caused by the MemoryPrivatePoolEnabled being set to TRUE. It should never be set to TRUE. But before you try to fix this, we could really use a copy of your crash logs to help us work on a fix. See here for steps to collect your crash logs, then attach those logs to FIRE-12339.

Then, do the following:

• Make sure hidden files/folders are set to show - see here for steps.
• Browse to your user_settings folder. This is located at -
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\ [USERNAME] \Application Data\Firestorm\user_settings
  • Windows Vista, 7, or 8, 8.1, and 10: C:\Users\ [USERNAME] \AppData\Roaming\Firestorm\user_settings
  • Mac: User/Library/Application Support/Firestorm/user_settings
  • Linux: ~/.firestorm/user_settings
• In the user_settings folder, find the file named “settings.xml”
• Open settings.xml in a text editor - For Windows, Notepad++ is ideal for this
• Search settings.xml for the term MemoryPrivatePoolEnabled
  You will see a block of text like so:

<key>MemoryPrivatePoolEnabled</key>
<map>
<key>Backup</key>
<boolean>0</boolean>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Enable the private memory pool management</string>
<key>Type</key>
<string>Boolean</string>
<key>Value</key>
<boolean>1</boolean>
</map>

• Near the bottom there, change the “<boolean>1</boolean>” line just above </map> to “<boolean>0</boolean>”
• Save changes to settings.xml and edit the text editor.
• Login.
• Profit.

Issues outside of Firestorm can, and often do, result in viewer crashes….

• Make sure your file system is not corrupt by running chkdsk or equivalent for your OS.
• On Windows, ensure that your registry isn't messed up by running CCleaner or similar.
• Reboot your PC and moder/router.
• Ensure that video drivers are current, as well as your OS.
• Do a Reinstall of Firestorm. Be sure to use a fresh download of the viewer; either clear your browser cache or use a different browser for the download.

A problem that is frequently reported is that worn rigged mesh attachments will sometimes be invisible to others after you have teleported. This can generally be fixed by selecting top menu, Avatar → Avatar Health → Refresh Attachments. Should that fail, then you will need to relog.

In order to reduce the chance of this happening, you should ensure that all worn rigged mesh items are attached to a different body attachment point (make sure NOT to attach to HUD, or only you will see the item on yourself). Many creators leave item attachment points at the default, which is right hand. This can result in many attachments being stacked on this point, making the above described issue far more likely to occur. So when wearing an outfit, check each rigged mesh part, and if attached to right hand, reattach to a different spot, and one not in use by something else. (You only need to do this once with newly acquired clothing, as the newly selected attachment point is remembered.) Having done that, and as explained in the following section, detach the item after having done this, so that the change saves.

A somewhat common occurrence: changes you made to an attachments, either by manual editing, or by the use of an applier, will revert if you subsequently crash.

This is due to how SL works. Changes to attachments only save when you detach the item, or when you relog. So in order to avoid this situation, any time you make any change to an attachment (and this includes hiding/showing parts of a mesh body), detach the item, count to 10, then re-attach.

Attachments which are visibly seen as worn may not show as worn in inventory. As a result, attempting to detach them by right clicking the inventory item name is not possible.

Different solutions are suggested… please try these, one at a time, in the order given, until one fixes you.

1. Right click the attachment on your avatar, and detach it via the pie menu.
2. If the above fails, go to a low lag region, such as this one, log out there, then log in to last location. At that point try to detach, either the usual way, or as described above.
3. Try the Replace Outfit procedure described below.

The problem is less easy when the attachment in question is the bridge. If for any reason you find yourself needing to replace a worn bridge and it is not showing as worn, then you will need to force it off. The suggested procedure is as follow:

• Go to Preferences → Firestorm → General → Enable LSL-Client Bridge and uncheck it
• Go to the “Worn Items” tab in inventory and detach any worn bridge - if possible
• Right click your avatar, and from the pie menu select: Take Off → Detach → Torso → Bridge … if it is not greyed-out
• Search Inventory for “client bridge” and delete them from inventory and trash
• Log off
• run the viewer again, but do not log in
• Go back to Preferences → Firestorm → General and re-enable the bridge
• Log into a place where rezzing is permitted, so the bridge can be created and worn

If instead you find that when you log in, attachments are being detached and then reattached, sometimes several on the same spot, then try the following procedure:

• Make a temporary folder somewhere you can find it easily
• In that folder, put a copy of your skin, shape, hair/bald base and eyes - and perhaps a pants and top layer - no prims!
• Right click the folder name and select Replace outfit. Not Wear, not Add, Replace. This step is VITAL
• Now relog
• Once you are logged back in, you can put your usual extras back on, hair included. And hope that it holds.

If a scripted attachment (such as a HUD) stops working following a TP, this may be because the attachment has actually fallen off during TP. You may see it on your screen, but the server thinks it is detached, so the scripts won't run. Try the following:

• Detach and reattach the item. It may help to relog before and/or after.
• In addition, if the HUD attaches to the Center 2 HUD point, try changing it to a different HUD attachment point. Attachments may be less likely to “fall off” of other attachment points.

On nous rapporte parfois que les attachements en “rigged mesh” deviennent soudain invisibles poru les autres après une téléportation. Ce problème peut généralement être résolu en cliquant dans le menu Avatar > Avatar Health Refresh Attachments. Si cela ne fonctionne pas, vous devrez vous déco/reco.

Pour réduire ce genre d'incident, assurez-vous que tous les articles en “rigged mesh” que vous portez soient attachés sur des points différents (attention à ne PAS attacher à un point réservé aux HUDs, ou bien vous serez le ou la seul(e) à voir cet article sur votre avatar). De nombreux créateurs ne modifient pas le point d'attachement par défaut qui est la main droite. Cela a pour effet de voir tous les articles en “rigged mesh” s'attacher sur le même point d'attachement, et donc d'augmenter le risque d'avoir ce problème. Donc lorsque vous portez une tenue, vérifieé chaque article en “rigged mesh” et s'ils sont attachés à la main droite, rattachez-les sur un autre point de préférence inoccupé par un autre attachement. Une fois que ceci est fait, détachez l'article pour que le point d'attachement soit sauvegardé.

Il s'agit d'un incident assez courant : les modifications que vous avez effectuées sur un attachement, que ce soit en mode édition ou par le biais d'un “applier”, se trouvent annulées si vous crashez.

La cause en est la façon dont SL fonctionne. Les modifications faites sur les attachements ne sont enregistrées qu'a)rès avoir détaché l'article, ou lorsque vous vous déconnectez. AFin d'éviter que cela ne se produise, détachez l'article et comptez jusqu'à 10 à chaque modification, puis rattachez l'article (ceci est également valable pour les modifications sur les parties masquées/visibles d'un corps en mesh).

Les attachements que vous voyez portés par votre avatar peuvent ne pas s'afficher comme portés dans votre inventaire. Vous ne pouvez donc pas les détacher par un clic droit dans votre inventaire.

Nous suggérons plusieurs solutions. Essayez-les l'une après l'autre dans l'ordre

Different solutions are suggested… please try these, one at a time, in the order given, until one fixes you.

Here is a sample of what you will see when looking at a profile:

• Name: Self explanatory.
• UUID Key: This is the avatar's Universally unique identifier, a key which uniquely identifies this avatar from all others.
• Online status: will show whether the avatar si online or offline.
• Profile picture: On you own profile, clicking this will open a texture picker window, allowing you to select a new profile picture. If the profile is that of someone else, clicking the picture will cause the full sized image to open.

• Born: Shows Month, day year and exact age.
  Example:
  08/27/2006 (4 years 9 months old; 1745 days)
• Account Info: Indicates Resident status, and whether payment information is registered with LL.
• Partner: If the avatar is partnered, the partner's name will be shown here.

• Groups: Shows the list of publicly visible groups to which the avatar belongs.
  • Plus sign: (Only on profiles of others.) Clicking this will allow you to invite the person to a group.

• About: A brief summary written by the avatar to describe him/herself.

• Give Item: You can drag and drop an item into this space to offer it to another person.

• Find on Map (button): This will be greyed out if not on your friends list; otherwise, this will open a map showing the avatar's current location in-world, if online.

• Offer Teleport (button): Sends a teleport offer to the avatar; if accepted, the avatar will be brought to your current location.

• Add Friend (button): Sends a request to the avatar offering friendship. If accepted, this results in them being listed on your Friends list and their calling card being added to your Calling Cards inventory folder.

• Pay (button): Allows you to send L$ directly to the avatar.

• Instant Message (button): Opens an instant message window for direct one-on-one communication.

• Block (button): Blocks the avatar from communicating with you. Equivalent to the “Mute” button in Phoenix viewer.

• Gear (button): Clicking this gives a menu:
  • Share: Selecting this, an IM window opens, and inventory items may be given to he other avatar by dragging them into it.
  • Call: starts a Voice call with the other person.
  • Copy Name: Copies the avatar's name to the clipboard, for later pasting into a notecard or script or external document (paste with Ctrl-V).
  • Copy URI: Copies the URI for the avatar to the clipboard. This looks like:
    secondlife:///app/agent/989652fe-598c-4324-8712-1e8cede7cb97/about
  • Copy UUID: Similar to the above, but copies only the UUID; for example:
    989652fe-598c-4324-8712-1e8cede7cb97
  • Report: Select this if you wish to file an abuse report concerning the person whose profile you have open. This opens the Report Abuse window, with the avatar name already filed in.

If you have a display name and wish to change it (or if you wish to set one for the first time), you will first need to have display anmes enabled in Preferences→ General: View Display Names. With that set, you will get a wrench icon on your profile, to the right of your user name. Click that to open the Change Display Name window.

This page covers the Features tab of the toolbox window in Edit and Build modes. This tab is shown in the image to the right. The upper section of this window is described here.

In Edit mode, some 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.
Most of the settings below can only be applied to individual prims; they will be disabled if you are editing a linked set.
Note that the overall properties of a linked set are the same as the properties of the root prim.

There are several groups of settings here, mostly unrelated to one another.

Applicable to boxes, cylinders and prism types, this makes the prim flexible (usually known as a flexi prim). Such prims are usually path cut and hollowed. Flexible prims are commonly used in clothing attachments like capes, for flags and other wavy things. Flexible prims are automatically made phantom.

Flexible prim characteristics are as follows:

• Softness: Controls the stiffness of the prim on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 is the most stiff and 3 is the most soft.
• Gravity: Controls how hard gravity pulls down on the prim. If you enter a negative value, gravity pulls the object upward instead.
• Drag: Controls how much drag the atmosphere appears to exert on the prim when it's moved.
• Wind: Controls how much this prim bends in response to the current region's wind.
• Tension: Controls how much force is pulling the top of the prim away from its base.
• Force X/Y/Z: Controls how much artificial force is applied on the prim, from different directions.

• Physics Shape Type: Physics Shape type selects between different “physical” representations of the object. The physical representation is different to the visual representation. The latter is (perhaps obviously) what you see, whereas the physics shape is what you collide with. It is important in determining whether you walk through, around or over an item, and importantly, it pays a very key role in determining where an item drop/dragged into the viewer will actually be placed.
  There are 3 possible options, but not all are available to all objects and in some cases cannot be used in certain circumstances.
  • None: Physics type None is only available for child prims of a linkset. It disables the physics processing for these prims and crucially, removes their physics cost (see later) from the LI calculation.
  • Convex hull: A convex hull is a mathematical term, stop wait…come back…., seriously, it's ok. It just means “the shape I get if I cover this object in plastic wrap”. The convex hull is, therefore, an approximation of the shape of an object. It does not support holes on objects and a wall containing a doorway with a convex hull physics shape will not let you pass through. The plastic wrap analogy holds good for pretty much all such examples. Convex hull is available for all objects but can force a prim to cost more than 1LI. This is the default for Mesh.
  • Prim: This is without the doubt the most confusing name in the list. The “prim” physics shape is generally only seen on Meshes. It actually tells the region to use the objects custom physics shape, a dedicated shape that the creator of the object decided was a good and appropriate shape for the object. A “prim physics” shape allows the creator to specify exactly which parts of an object you can collide with and which parts you walk through, allowing them, for example, to open up doorways but keep windows impassable, if they so choose. Unfortunately, many creators are neglectful in this selection and the prim physics shape is often not very useful. The reason for the name is clearer when considering that this is the default mode for traditional prims and reflects a physical shape that matches the visible shape of the prim closely.
• Material: (Only applies when the object is physical.) The notional real-life material that behaves most like this object. It affects the friction and bounce of an object in collisions, as well as the default sounds made. *Important: This has nothing whatsoever to do with the texturing “materials”.
• Gravity: (Only applies when the object is physical.) Affects the way that an object interacts, 1.0 is earth standard gravity (i.e. 1g) a negative value will cause a physical object to rise.
• Friction:
• Density:
• Bounciness: (Only applies when the object is physical.) These three override the defaults implied by the “Material”.

To the right of Physics Shape Type is an eye icon. Clicking this switches in and out of physics view. Physics view will show the object's physics shape in a colour that reflects the physics cost.
The physics cost is not normally used for prims, but becomes important if a prim is linked to a mesh, or has any modern feature such as a bump map applied to it. A low physics cost will be a passive blue, moving through a worrying orange to an angry red. If you plan to link a prim to a mesh or use any other modern feature it is worth checking this quickly to avoid your Land Impact (LI) from sky rocketing. See this blog post for more details.

Cause the prim to emit light. In order to be able to see the light, you need to have Preferences→ Graphics → General→ Local Lights enabled.

• Color: Click this to open a color picker, from which you can select the light color.
• Intensity: Sets the initial brightness of the prim; the possible values are between 0 and 1.
• Radius: Specifies how far the light travels, in meters. The maximum is 20m.
• Falloff: Sets how quickly the light's Intensity fades as it travels to its outer Radius. Lower values are more gradual.

For general information on projectors, please refer to this SL page.

When you have Advanced Lighting Model enabled (in Preferences→ Graphics, then you can make use of projectors. In the Features tab of the edit window, you will see additional fields in the lower right.

• Texture: This is the texture to project. Clicking it will open the Texture Picker.
• FOV: The FOV setting defines the field of view of the projector, in radians. The field of view is the angular width of the cone of light projected. The possible range of values from 0.0 to 3.0 correspond to widths from 0 degrees to approx 172 degrees (almost a hemisphere of influence). Fidelity of shadows caused by a projector may degrade as the FOV becomes larger.
• Focus: A projected texture appears blurrier the further the projection point is from the projector. The Focus value controls how attenuated this effect is. Positive values keep the projection sharper for farther distances, negative values make the projection start to blur at a closer range.
• Ambiance: Ambiance adds a very blurred version of the projected image to all faces within the cone of influence, regardless of whether they are in shadow or facing away from the projector. The goal is to roughly simulate light influence being diffused in all directions by surfaces receiving a projected image. Thus it is acceptable that this be even brighter on faces facing away from the projector. The brightness of this effect is proportional to the Ambiance value.

Il existe quelques problèmes connus avec le bridge Firestorm

• Si vous vous apercevez que l'option “Script Info” est grisée ou que le “MoveLock” ne fonctionne plus, il est probable que le Bridge LSL a éyé endommagé à cause d'un récent changement sur les serveurs. Pour les anglophones, voir BUG-225839 Firestorm bridge script is set to not running on creation on Second Life Server 18.11.01.521329

• Essayez les étapes suivantes dans l'ordre, jusqu'à résolution du problème :

• Dans votre inventaire ouvrez le dossier “#Firestorm” puis le sous-dossier “#LSL Bridge”
• Cliquez droit le “#Firestorm LSL Bridge v2.21” et sélectionnez “Edit”
• Dans la fenêtre de modification allez dans l'onglet “Content”
• Cliquez droit le “#Firestorm LSL Bridge v2.21” et sélectionnez “Open”
• En bas à gauche de la fenêtre du script, cochez la case “Running”
• Fermez le script et la fenêtre de moditication, puis déco/reco sur une parcelle où les scripts sont autorisés.
• Vérifiez si les options “Script Info” et “MoveLock” sont maintenant disponibles.

• Si vous vous connectez et que vous vous apercevez que vous portez un rocher, détachez-le et faites ceci:
  • Allez dans Préférences→ Firestorm → Extras et désactivez le bridge
  • Allez dans le menu Avancé dans la barre de menus du haut (Ctrl-Alt-D si vous ne le voyez pas) → Afficher les paramètres de débogage, dans la fenêtre des paramètres de débogage tapez ProtectBridgeFolder; cochez FALSE
  • ouvrez le dossier #Firestorm dans votre inventaire puis le sous-dossier #LSL Bridge
  • détachez le #Firestorm LSL bridge, et supprimez-le
  • dans la barre de recherche de votre inventaire tapez “#Firestorm LSL Bridge”. Si vous trouvez des copies du bridge supprimez-les toutes, y compris si ce sont des liens (link).
  • videz la corbeille
  • reconnectez-vous
  • réactivez ProtectBridgeFolder dans les paramètres de débogage (cochez TRUE)
  • réactivez le bridge dans Préférences → Firestorm → Général
  • créez un nouveau bridge : top menu bar→ Avatar→ Avatar Health > Recreate LSL Bridge

• Si le bridge se crée à chaque fois que vous vous connectez ou que vous vous téléportez, c'est probablement votre connexion qui est en cause. Verifiez que votre bande-passante est correctement réglée (voir cette page - et suivez chaque étape avec précision.
  Si vous devez vous débarrasser de plusieurs bridges ou liens au bridge qui se sont accumulés parce qu'il ne cesse de se créer, suivez les étapes ci-dessus.

• Si vos cheveux semblent tout à coup s'attacher ailleurs que sur votre tête, même après déco/reco, essayez ce qui a été expliqué ci-dessus.

• Essayer de porter le bridge manuellement pendant sa création peut le “casser”. Si la création du bridge a commencé vous verrez un message dans le chat local, si la création est terminée vous en verrez un autre. Pendant cette période, n'essayez pas d'interagir avec le bridge, laissez-le terminer.

• Si vous utilisez un autre viewer avant Firestorm, le bridge Firestorm enverra un message dans le caht local. Il devrait cependant reconnaître le viewer avec lequel vous êtes connecté et ne pas répéter le message. Si cela arrivait malgré tout, détachez-le simplement quand vous êtes sur un autre viewer.

• Si vous portez un bridge d'une ancienne version de Firestorm, le bridge devrait normalement se détacher mais il ne se recréera pas. Pour en obtenir un nouveau, utilisez la barre de menus du haut, allez à Moi → Avatar Health → Recreate LSL Bridge. Normalement tous les autres bridges plus anciens devraient être automatiquement éliminés à la création du nouveau.

This page covers the Features tab of the toolbox window in Edit and Build modes. This tab is shown in the image to the right. The upper section of this window is described here.

In Edit mode, some 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.
Most of the settings below can only be applied to individual prims; they will be disabled if you are editing a linked set.
Note that the overall properties of a linked set are the same as the properties of the root prim.

There are several groups of settings here, mostly unrelated to one another.

Applicable to boxes, cylinders and prism types, this makes the prim flexible (usually known as a flexi prim). Such prims are usually path cut and hollowed. Flexible prims are commonly used in clothing attachments like capes, for flags and other wavy things. Flexible prims are automatically made phantom.

Flexible prim characteristics are as follows:

• Softness: Controls the stiffness of the prim on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 is the most stiff and 3 is the most soft.
• Gravity: Controls how hard gravity pulls down on the prim. If you enter a negative value, gravity pulls the object upward instead.
• Drag: Controls how much drag the atmosphere appears to exert on the prim when it's moved.
• Wind: Controls how much this prim bends in response to the current region's wind.
• Tension: Controls how much force is pulling the top of the prim away from its base.
• Force X/Y/Z: Controls how much artificial force is applied on the prim, from different directions.

• Physics Shape Type: Physics Shape type selects between different “physical” representations of the object. The physical representation is different to the visual representation. The latter is (perhaps obviously) what you see, whereas the physics shape is what you collide with. It is important in determining whether you walk through, around or over an item, and importantly, it pays a very key role in determining where an item drop/dragged into the viewer will actually be placed.
  There are 3 possible options, but not all are available to all objects and in some cases cannot be used in certain circumstances.
  • None: Physics type None is only available for child prims of a linkset. It disables the physics processing for these prims and crucially, removes their physics cost (see later) from the LI calculation.
  • Convex hull: A convex hull is a mathematical term, stop wait…come back…., seriously, it's ok. It just means “the shape I get if I cover this object in plastic wrap”. The convex hull is, therefore, an approximation of the shape of an object. It does not support holes on objects and a wall containing a doorway with a convex hull physics shape will not let you pass through. The plastic wrap analogy holds good for pretty much all such examples. Convex hull is available for all objects but can force a prim to cost more than 1LI. This is the default for Mesh.
  • Prim: This is without the doubt the most confusing name in the list. The “prim” physics shape is generally only seen on Meshes. It actually tells the region to use the objects custom physics shape, a dedicated shape that the creator of the object decided was a good and appropriate shape for the object. A “prim physics” shape allows the creator to specify exactly which parts of an object you can collide with and which parts you walk through, allowing them, for example, to open up doorways but keep windows impassable, if they so choose. Unfortunately, many creators are neglectful in this selection and the prim physics shape is often not very useful. The reason for the name is clearer when considering that this is the default mode for traditional prims and reflects a physical shape that matches the visible shape of the prim closely.
• Material: (Only applies when the object is physical.) The notional real-life material that behaves most like this object. It affects the friction and bounce of an object in collisions, as well as the default sounds made. *Important: This has nothing whatsoever to do with the texturing “materials”.
• Gravity: (Only applies when the object is physical.) Affects the way that an object interacts, 1.0 is earth standard gravity (i.e. 1g) a negative value will cause a physical object to rise.
• Friction:
• Density:
• Bounciness: (Only applies when the object is physical.) These three override the defaults implied by the “Material”.

To the right of Physics Shape Type is an eye icon. Clicking this switches in and out of physics view. Physics view will show the object's physics shape in a colour that reflects the physics cost.
The physics cost is not normally used for prims, but becomes important if a prim is linked to a mesh, or has any modern feature such as a bump map applied to it. A low physics cost will be a passive blue, moving through a worrying orange to an angry red. If you plan to link a prim to a mesh or use any other modern feature it is worth checking this quickly to avoid your Land Impact (LI) from sky rocketing. See this blog post for more details.

Cause the prim to emit light. In order to be able to see the light, you need to have Preferences→ Graphics → General→ Local Lights enabled.

• Color: Click this to open a color picker, from which you can select the light color.
• Intensity: Sets the initial brightness of the prim; the possible values are between 0 and 1.
• Radius: Specifies how far the light travels, in meters. The maximum is 20m.
• Falloff: Sets how quickly the light's Intensity fades as it travels to its outer Radius. Lower values are more gradual.

For general information on projectors, please refer to this SL page.

When you have Advanced Lighting Model enabled (in Preferences→ Graphics, then you can make use of projectors. In the Features tab of the edit window, you will see additional fields in the lower right.

• Texture: This is the texture to project. Clicking it will open the Texture Picker.
• FOV: The FOV setting defines the field of view of the projector, in radians. The field of view is the angular width of the cone of light projected. The possible range of values from 0.0 to 3.0 correspond to widths from 0 degrees to approx 172 degrees (almost a hemisphere of influence). Fidelity of shadows caused by a projector may degrade as the FOV becomes larger.
• Focus: A projected texture appears blurrier the further the projection point is from the projector. The Focus value controls how attenuated this effect is. Positive values keep the projection sharper for farther distances, negative values make the projection start to blur at a closer range.
• Ambiance: Ambiance adds a very blurred version of the projected image to all faces within the cone of influence, regardless of whether they are in shadow or facing away from the projector. The goal is to roughly simulate light influence being diffused in all directions by surfaces receiving a projected image. Thus it is acceptable that this be even brighter on faces facing away from the projector. The brightness of this effect is proportional to the Ambiance value.

This page covers the General tab of the toolbox window in Edit and Build modes. This tab is shown in the image to the right. The upper section of this window is described here.

In Build mode, most of the fields will be greyed out, as not applicable. Similarly, in Edit mode, some 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.

The first portion of this tab contains basic information about the object:

• Name: This will hold the name of the object. The name is limited to 63 characters.
• Description: An optional description of the objects, maximum 127 characters.
• Creator: Name of the avatar who created this object. This can never be changed.
• Owner: Shows the name of the current owner of the object. If the objected is group owned (see below), this will show the group that owns it.
• Last Owner: Name of the avatar that owned the object when it was previously rezzed in-world. In other words, if you buy an object, rez it out, take it, then re-rez it, this will show your name.
• Group: The name of the group to which the object is set. ¹⁾
  • Share: If you enable this, you are granting other group members the ability to manipulate the object: move, rotate, etc.
  • Deed: If you click this, the object will be deeded (donated) to the group it is set to. ²⁾

• Click to: Here you can set the action that will occur when the object is left clicked. By default, this is Touch, but it can be any one of: Touch, Sit on, Buy, Pay, Open, Zoom. ³⁾

• For Sale: Click this if you wish to set the object for sale. The other fields in this section then become applicable.
  Note that this describes the new Firestorm behavior incorporating seller protection; if you wish to revert to the older method, enable Preferences→ Firestorm → Build 2→ Use old “Set Object For Sale” behavior.)
  • Drop Down: Here you select exactly what you are selling: a copy of the object (only possible if the object is copyable for you), the contents of the object (rather than the object itself), or the original object (the owner will need to take it once bought).
  • Price: Specify the price of the item.
  • Apply: when you are happy with your choices, click this button and they will be applied. This gives you protection in that the item is not actually set for sale until this button is pressed, preventing others from perhaps purchasing a valuable item for the default 10L while you are still making changes.

• Copy Keys: This copies the UUID(s) of the object to your clipboard. Clicking the button will copy the UUID of the root. Press and hold Shift while clicking to copy the UUIDs of all prims; this is a list of comma-separated UUIDs.
• Show in Search: If you enable this, the object will be listed in SL search, and thus help others find it.

• Permissions Permissions in SL are a somewhat complex topic. You are directed to the SL wiki on permissions for details.
  • Anyone:
    • Move: if this is enabled, anyone will be able to move the object.
    • Copy: if enable, anyone will be able to copy the object. This essentially makes it free to all. They can right click it and select Take Copy.
  • Next Owner: this sets the permissions the next owner of the object will have ⁴⁾
    • Modify: If enabled, the next owner will be able to modify the object.
    • Copy: If enabled, the next owner will be able to copy the object.
    • Transfer: If enabled, the next owner will be able to resell or give the object away.

And finally, the current pathfinding attributes are dissplayed at the bottom. These can only be changed via the Pathfinding Linksets window (top menu→ Build → Pathfinding → Linksets)).

• Allow Remote Scripted Viewer Controls (aka RLVa or RestrainedLove API): Enables RLVa (Requires restart).
  Documentation on RLV is available here and here.
• Always rez objects under the land group if possible: Many regions are set to only let objects be rezzed by group. When creating an object, the viewer will attempt to set the group of the object if the avatar is in the same group as set for the land. Note: This is not always possible due to circumstances beyond the viewer's control.
• Create particle effects when scripts communicate: If this is enabled, when a script “chats”, the object containing the script will appear to generate swirling particles. Disable this option to turn that effect off.
• Deactivate tracking beacon when reaching the targetted avatar (⇐ 3m): Normally, a tracking becon (such as one set via map will vanish once get get within 3m of it; with this disabled, the beacon will remain visible until clicked.

  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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

NOTE: For a video tutorial on setting custom default prim parameters, see here.

Allows you to change parameters of your prim when it is first rezzed.

• x/y/z Size: Sets the size, in meters, of the prim.

• Limit drag distance: If enabled, you won't be able to move objects over a distance greater than the limit set to the right. Disable to remove limits.
• Constrain rotations to multiples of: Manual rotations will always “snap” to this number of degrees - when “snap to grid” is disabled.
• Show unlink confirmation dialog if linkset has minimum: When unlinking a linkset, you will be asked for confirmation if there are this many, or more, linked items.
• Use old “Set Object For Sale” behavior: Uses the old style for setting objects for sale. The new behavior safeguards against an object being purchased for the default 10L$ while you are setting the correct price. You click “For sale”, specify the price, then click Apply.
• Save scripts edited from inventory as Mono: Allows you to set that scripts edited in inventory, will compile with Mono rather than LSL2.
• Save textures from inventory to disk as PNG instead of TGA by default: Changes the default image save format, to save you having to change it manually.

If you haven't logged into the Aditi Grid recently, you will likely need to contact LL Support to gain access as well as have your inventory synced. Please review this page carefully http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Aditi. Also ensure you have this viewer setting enabled in Preferences - Advanced - Allow login to other grids.

If you wish to take in-world snapshots, click the Snapshot button on the bottom button bar, or from the top menu bar, Avatar → Snapshot. ¹⁾ The Snapshot window gives options which allow you to control where to save, how large the image should be, and several others. They are explained below.

On the right is the snapshot preview area. This shows what part of your view will be included in the snapshot. Click Refresh, upper left, to refresh the preview.

If you click the « to the right of Refresh, the snapshot window changes orientation, becoming vertical with a smaller preview window. Click the » to revert to the default layout. This page describes the default, but the same principles apply to the vertical layout.

To the left of snapshot preview area, there are several options:

• Capture section: you may select what you wish to take a snapshot of:
  • Colors or Depth: Colors speaks for itself. Depth creates a grey-scale image where objects close by are dark, while those further away are light. Such an image can be combined with the Color image in image postwork.
  • Interface: If enabled, this will include the viewer interface in the picture.
    • L$ Balance: Whether to include your on-screen L$ balance in the snapshot.
  • HUDs: If enabled, any HUDs you might be wearing will be included in the picture.
• Freeze Frame: If you click this, the entire scene will freeze (except particles) allowing you to capture that perfect moment, and then spend time in getting exactly the right camera angle. Uncheck this to disable the “freeze”.
• Auto-Refresh: If enabled, the preview window will be updated every time you move the camera. Causes noticeable client lag while enabled.
• Filter: Allows you to apply some interesting effects to the image. If you are interested in the technical details behind filters, refer to this SL wiki page.

The buttons below allow you to select where the image should be saved.

Select the size of the snapshot from the drop-down. You can do the entire current window, or chose from several pre-defined sizes, or use a custom size, which you can type in below. ²⁾

Below, select the image format. You can select one of: PNG, JPG or BMP. If you select JPG, you will also be able to select the quality. Lower quality results in smaller file sizes.

Click Save to save the image to your hard drive. Click the down arrow to change to Save As if you want to select a folder for the image, and/or change the name of it. Cancel button (used in versions 4.7.1 and 4.7.3) or Selection button (used in version 4.7.5) returns to the main window.

As above, you can select the size of the image to save to inventory. Note that sizes are constrained to square images, and powers of 2 (ie, 32×32, 64×64, 128×128, etc).

Click Save to upload the image to your inventory. Note that this will cost L$10, which you must have on your account. Cancel button (used in versions 4.7.1 and 4.7.3) or Selection button (used in version 4.7.5) returns to the Main window.

This saves the snapshot to your web profile feed.

Again, you may specify the image size. Furthermore, you can also type in a caption for the image, and indicate whether the in-world location should be included once the image is posted.

Click Post to upload the image to your profile, or Cancel button (used in versions 4.7.1 and 4.7.3) or Selection button (used in version 4.7.5) to return to the main snapshot window.
