I might be hanging around Second Life now, as Draconis Burns. It seems
they don't require a bank/paypal/etc. info anymore, and I just tossed
in all fake data. Cross fingers, for the client to run under Wine.

Yeah.. I'm still trying to learn building. Though it doesn't help a
whole lot if I can't afford land or anything. 'cept for avatar building
that is.

Yeah, I'm Drake Gemini on there, but I don't think I'll be too active,
especially since in order to do anything big, you gotta purchase L$
(Linden Dollars) for land and whatnot...

I suppose I should check my account..... I left almost L$1000 in my bank
account there, I wonder how much I have, or if my account is still
active..... My handle on there is FlameStryke Shackle.

Yeah it's an interesting adventure if you know nothing (like me) about
this type of constructing of polys and such.
I don't see the need for land right now. I am just exploring myself
and chatting and such...mostly looking around and getting ideas.

found a few tutorials on youtube.
i am working with one of the 'cheap' avatars but have found some
inexpensive things in SLBoutique that i may try out in a while.
Dragon AV's seem to mostly be big expensive and quadruped and i want
something more anthro.

I need to set myself a reasonable budget or i'll spend too much :o
and I need to save up for a new computer mine is terrible out of date.

I've got L$1045 too. From money trees, filling out "surveys", etc. I
haven't found an avatar I really like, I'm switching between a black
winged wolf and an angel dragon (which has huge wings and massive
emits)

Yep. First time I really had fun with 3d building. Maybe this will
help me understand Blender and game scripting.

Basically all I'm doing. I haven't bought anything yet, since I am
still collecting freebies. And if you ever do decide to buy land,
learn how to code slots.

Most of them do seem to be huge, expensive, and quadruped. I actually
prefer quadruped to humanoid where it fits, but humanoid will do nicely
in a squeeze.

Just don't spend any money unless it is an absolute deal. Caveat
emptor: most stuff in SL looks like a really good deal.

I've gotten a little bit better at actual scripting myself. I learned
about the different channels, which you can use to make anything from
walkie talkies to a firebreath controller. Maybe even a shapeshifting
set of "clothing". I'll settle with something a bit more modest
first.. start building a "Wizard's wand" (a debugging tool you don't
actually finish working on)

There are anthro dragon avatars out there, in fact, more than quad. They are
also cheaper, L$900 to L$1200.

There IS a linux client. Albeit, not as complete (it only recently got a
working crash reporter and I think its still missing sound).

I'm not quite ready for scripting yet, but i will be when i find the

It was still active, strangely enough.....

Draco18s was kind enough to gift me with some money to buy an avatar. I'm
now an (almost) black dragon. I can smoke from nostrils (and the smoke
doesn't follow the nostril, like some do, once emitted it floats up and
dissipates from its starting location) and I can breathe fire, and I can
roar. Also, the wings extend when I fly and retract when I land.

It's a little odd, though, when I lie down on something, and my wings and
tail pass right through it.....

I think the Ginko account wasn't gaining interest for a bit, though, as I

Talk to Draco18s online, if you can find him. Mine cost between L$2000 and
L$3000, I think, and it's biped.

I'm just using the free stuff. Find a Ginko ATM and open an account, then
even if you've registered too late for the free allowance, you'll still get
some money from interest. The interest rate is really low right now,
though. It's at about 1% or so.....

The quads are HUGE (and a lag-causer too). The wyrmling one I have is a good
15 feet long (not including the tail) and 10 feet high with a nice 20 foot or
so wingspan. The wyrm is probably one and a half to two times bigger.

Indeed. The huge dragon avatar (above) is only $10 or $12.

Clothing can't be altered by scripting, sadly. And to do the same thing with
prims would be lag inducing, not to mention when you tell it to change it'd
take a whole second for everything to catch up, as each prim does its changes
instantly, but not in tandem.

Uh....Fox Valley's little mall area has one, I think. There's also some at
ExtroVirtual Island, I believe.

0.1% daily. It's about 3 to 4% a month. It's been as high as 0.14% which is
about 4.5% a month.

Only because attachment prims are phantom. Just think of the physics errors

And in fucadia, I have to pay real monies to be a dragon. 9..9 And not the
piddling amounts it takes to be one in Second Life (as noted in an previous
post, it takes US$12 or so to buy the huge dragon avatar /for life/).

I had the same problem, I thought I would be able to return to Help
Island with a landmark.

Anyone that's interested in building stuff should go to the Ivory Tower
of Primitives (just search Ivory Tower). There's quite a lot of
interesting stuff there.

I just learned that, by reading the kitsune tail's scripts. Extremely
complex for some simple swishing motion. But color change is a little
simpler.

And AFAIK, the avatar in furcadia is a lot less customizable.

Still, it's not that great. The way it is right now it has color swatches.
Parts of the av are a particular color and all you can do is change the color,
not the shape. What if I don't want those silly lines/stripes/whatever they
are on the wings? I'm SOL because I can't change that, all I can do is make
them the same color.

How did i not find that place in the first place?
Oh, i know. you have just uncovered Vincents major character flaw. he
never reads the directions, he just takes things apart until he
figures out how they work. I don't know why i do that...

bought a PHP scripting book, read the first chapter then just started
dissembling various codes until i figured out stuff...

It makes me a good service technician, but bad at learning stuff
sometimes.

Ah well, thus is life.
I went to Ivory, going back as soon as i fire this thing off. Thanks
for the heads up on that place. I think i am going to print out all
the note cards and keep them close when i start fiddling with stuff.

Never heard of that. That would be cool..... A sure way to show those

That's just it, when they do the planned update you'll be able to
customize the avatar like never before.

If you tried it a long time ago you should come back again, the update
in due in the next few months and the previews look really good.

The point of the game is imagination, buying the avatars, while not
required, helps support the game, all you need do is put what you are in
your description, you don't really *need* the avatar...

You don't need to own land to build. You can use sandboxes to build your
stuff temporarily (which you'll be doing a lot in the beginning,
anyway), or you can rent land from owners if you want to build more
permanently. Although, i'm told renting land is very expensive...

I've got a fairly decent anthro dragon avatar on SL.. though I can't
recall offhand who makes it. I'll check that out when I get home from
work tonight, I get a lot of compliments on it. And its been updated
since I got it almost a year ago. *shruggies*

My mate is hoping for someone that makes better wolf avatars.. he
doesnt like the feet on the ones at werehouse, and the rest look way
too cartoonish. I think he's just being picky, myself. Anyone have any
suggestions for wolfish avatars?

I think I tried it once, too, since someone said you could have dragon
avatars, then quit since it costs money to do that.

Maybe I'm being too critical, but if I can't portray myself accurately (or
at least, closer than human) then I don't get the same feel out of it.....

Would it be the silver hatchling? I gave input durring its creation. It's
only free because the maker left SL (and has come back since).

You wouldn't be the only one. My mom has a friend who can't wear a digital

Somewhat late into the discussion, I started a Second Life account
recently, so people are welcome to friend me (as Polenth Yue). I won't
have much play time in the next few months, but there's always a
chance of running into me.

I look at avatars slightly differently, as I'm not trying to portray
my true self or anything. If it looks cute, I'll have one. ;) I'm
mostly swimming around as a dolphin right now.

I'm not gonna be playing for a while too.. classes and stuff is getting
too much in the way. I don't really try to portray my true self, I'd
just like to have at least one dragon avatar.

I don't either, I've got one of the large quad-dragon avatars that I looked at

I have seen some great quad Dragon av's but they are a bit large and i
have seen some lovely digigrade/quad Little dragon av's :>

Myself I am sticking with the dragon av i have untill i gather all the
time to mod the ones i have into what i want.

It seems I have made SL my second home. I like the group of furs i
found to hang out with, so i might not post as many silly things Here;
you will have to find me in There if you want silly things from
Vincent from now on - unless something Here strikes my fancy

My dolphin was a gift from one of my family, as he makes them. I also
found out today that a small quadruped dragon was added to his shop in
white or purple, so if people are looking for a smaller and less laggy
dragon, they might work. They're about a human length long. A
shameless promotion also helps pay for the free one I was given. ;)

The shop is on the third floor of the FurNation SkyMall (searching for
'Avariel' will bring up the shop for a quick teleport).

I heard that the client wasn't going to ever be open source, because it
would be too easy to make something like copybot. This is good news,
because I don't think the binary is 100% compatible with my system.

Same, same. Maybe buy my first av. Er...get an av that'll be the first one I
pay for (I've had a lot of gifts).

They must have either fixed it or figured that there was no way to fix it and
libsl was so close to a complete client I think they finally endorsed it.
Good news in either case--going to see a lot of outside client development.
