Different ways to do the same thing
https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/keyboard-shortcuts-r369/ Different ways to do the same thing There are often "different ways to do the same thing" in Second Life, or in other words, various paths to one goal. For example, a newcomer may prefer using the mouse to clicking menu options, but when you know there are keyboard shortcuts — which "power users" generally prefer — you can graduate to those. Here are some examples ... |

SL Wiki Tree
http://studiowikitecture.wikidot.com/how-to SL Wiki Tree The Wikitecture Interface is made up of 2 major components, the 'trunk' and archiving 'canopy' above. The lower 'trunk' is reserved for most of the functionality. The spherical 'archive leaves' above however, are for storing the individual design iterations throughout the duration of the project. Although not always the case, the general rule will typically apply: one spherical 'archive leaf' = one design iteration = one contributor. If you click or 'touch' one of these leaf spheres, the design contained within, will rez itself out onto the parcel. |

Second Life viewer for Linux
http://sldev.free.fr/ This site is meant to publish patches and pre-compiled versions of the Second Life viewer for Linux. Fact is that Linden Lab (hereafter referred as by "LL") just cannot happen to take into account in a timely manner all the patches and bug fixes which the open source community provides. You can publish a patch and see it actually taken into account only months later... Plus, LL often implements changes in their viewer without any or with very little regard to what their customers, the "residents" do like or not (one of the worst of all these changes in regard to the UI was probably the Voice viewers chatterbox). Such changes are considered by many users as true regressions, either in usability or functionality, and usually both. Using this viewer or not is entirely up to you, of course. But it got quite a few bugs and regressions fixed, as well as really Cool new features (see the list of patches)... |

Streaming Magnatune's Music into Second Life
http://magnatune.com/info/second_life Streaming Magnatune's Music into Second Life We'd like you add our music to your land, so that people visiting your space can listen to our fabulous music. We've made 40 different streams--from Alternative Rock to World--just for Second Life use, so you can pick the genre that best fits your tastes. Best of all, we consider all Second Life playing of these streams to be a promotional use of our music, and grant you a license to use our music for free. We also grant you a collecting society waiver, so that if ASCAP or BMI ever asks you to pay them for the music you're using on Second Life (something they can do if you play anyone else's music in SL), you can point them to this page. |

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Sculpted_Prims Sculpted Prims A Sculpted Prim, or sculptie, is a prim whose shape is determined by an array of coordinates stored as RGB values in an image file (a Sculpt Texture or Sculpt Map). Sculpted prims can be used to create more complex, organic shapes that were not previously possible with Second Life's prim system. |

Script generator for non-scripters
http://www.3greeneggs.com/autoscript/ Script generator for non-scripters It attempts to translate the way non-programmers think about interactivity into a functioning script. This has a long way to go, but I hope it might be a useful tool for some of you and your students. I would love your feedback - what should I add? Does the vocabulary make sense? Do all of the scripts work, and work the way that you expect them to? This site will help you create scripts for your Second Life objects. These scripts allow you to add interactive elements to your builds without knowing how to code. All of the script are released under a creative commons license, which means that you can use them freely! |

Second Life Script Library
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Library Second Life Script Library There are many scripts that have become buried in the Scripting Library forum, were lost with the death of the scripting forums, or sit idle in inventories that could be useful and should be more accessible. Other scripters may be in the same situation. This wiki is a well-suited medium for a script library. Feel free to add your scripts to the script library by creating new pages for them and linking to those pages here. |

Set up a radio that allows the user to switch channels
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetParcelMusicURL Is it possible to set up a radio that allows the user to switch channels (and thus audio channels)? Yes. You would use llSetParcelMusicURL() http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetParcelMusicURL). As long as the object owner is the same as the land owner, that function will change the audio stream url. For a quick solution, you could have a series of prims each with a different url that was triggered by a touch_start llSetParcelMusicURL |
