Duplicate Remover

2010-06-30T22:08:00.003+02:00

Current Version 0.03

With "Duplicate Remover" you can find out any duplicated items of your inventory and remove them. Works with objects, textures, animations, sounds, gestures, landmarks, bodyparts, clothing, notecards & scripts.

Precise vs. Fast

There are two algorithms to remove duplicates:

one is precise but need many tests,
one is fast, need much less tests but is unprecise and can miss some duplicates

In both cases it only deletes items with same uuid whatever their names are.

If you get a folder with N textures
The precise algorithm needs N*(N-1)/2 test
For a 100 textures folder it means 5050 tests, for 1K folder 500500 tests, for a 5K 12502500 tests.
It detects all duplicates, if two textures have same key but have a very different name then precise algorithm will detect them.

The fastest way is to assume duplicates have same name like "wood thing", "wood thing 1" and "wood thing 2"
The fast algorithm needs only N-1 test, but it will miss textures with same uuid and named very differently like "wood chestnut" and "chestnut wood"
For a 100 textures folder needs 99 tests, for 1K folder 9999 tests, for a 5K needs 4999 tests

For instance If you can test 100 uuid pair in a sec you will need 34 hours for a 5K with precise algorithm but only 50 sec with fast one.

Safe vs. Unsafe

With Safe mode on you will receive a copy of items before they are removed from inventory.

Step to remove duplicates

Either drag items from your inventory into the "Duplicate Remover" sphere or drag the "=Duplicate Remover" script into a box filled of items.
Click on the box,
Enable/Disable the "Safe" mode,
Run Fast or Precise process,
Wait until all the duplicates are removed.
Once done you can get items back to your inventory using Unpack

Prims Count

2010-05-31T08:28:00.025+02:00

Current Release 0.08

Prims Count is an easy-to-use tool designed to make it really easy for users of group land to see their prim counts. As the land owner, you simply rez (and deed to the group the land is set to) the Prims Count Base.

Prims Count system can be used two ways:

Rez Prims Count Board to show prims count of your land users.
Give out Prims Counter User to your land users. When they rez it the device will contact the Base Station and obtain their prim count for them.

One Base Station can count the prims on any parcel owned by the same group in the sim. For multiple parcels, just purchase another Prims Count Base.

Setting up Prims Count system

The first step to use Prims Count is to setup the Prims Count Base.

Rezzing the Prims Count Base

Rez the The Prims Count Base on ground, this is a no copy object, it will disappear from your inventory.

Land Options

For the Prims Count Base counts prims on the land only if the owner of the Prims Count Base and the owner of the land are the same person or group. Thus wether the land is owned by an avatar or a group you will need to setup your base differently.

Land parcel is owned by you personally

If you own personally the land you won't need extra configuration for the prims count to work. Once rezzed you will see the following messages over the Prims Count Base.

Checking Permissions (Yellow)
Read Settings (Yellow)
Prims Count Base is ready (Green)

Land parcel is owned by a group

If the Land Parcel is owned by a group the Prims Count Base will need to deed it to the same Group as the Land Parcel for the system to work.

Check your role abilities
First check your role abilities into the group. You need one ability for the process to succes: Deed objects to group.

Select Edit / Groups into the Second Life Viewer menu
Click on Info Button
Select the Members & Roles tab
Search your name into the list
And check this ability into the Allowed Abilities List

In case you don't find them you will need to contact the group owners to fix it.

Deed the Prims Count Base to the group
Right-click on your Prims Count Base and select Edit from the pie menu.
Be sure the Prims Count Base is set to same Group as your Parcel. If not click on "Set..." button and select the correct Group.
Once done check the Share with group checkbox.
The "Deed..." button should immediately turn blue. In case it doesn't you will need to ask the Group Owner to grant you permission to deed object to group.
Click the Deed... button
You will receive the standard Linden L$ warning dialog. This is not an object people will pay thus accept it.

Checking Permissions (Yellow)
Read Settings (Yellow)
Prims Count Base is ready (Green)

Nb: If you make a mistake and deed the Prims Count Base to the wrong group. Just take the Prims Count Base back into your inventory, re-rez it and start over. There is no other way to undo deed.

Prims Count Board

Prims Count system is shiped with seven Prims Count Board:

Prims Count Board 1 Counter v0.7 (1 Prim)
Prims Count Board 1 Counter v0.7 (2 Prims)
Prims Count Board 1 Name (6 Prims)
Prims Count Board 3 Names (16 Prims)
Prims Count Board 5 Names (26 Prims)
Prims Count Board 10 Names (51 Prims)
Prims Count Board 10 Names+Pic (61 Prims)

Names Boards will show name + prims count, Counter Boards will show prims count.
Rez the Prims Count Board that will fit your needs. Once the board is rezzed it will directly query the base.

There are several options to customize how the board are working whith editing the ".ini" notecard into the board contents.

Limits Bord to a restricted list of avatars

To limit the board to a restricted list you will need to use avadd commands.

avadd <avatar-first-name> <avatar-last-name>

For example:

avadd Lalwende Leakey
avadd Flandria Connolly
avadd Nabrej Aabye
showall false

Only avatars Lalwende Leakey, Flandria Connolly & Nabrej Aabye wil be shown.

Excluding some avatars from beeing shown

To exclude an avatar from being show use the command avrem.

avrem <avatar-first-name> <avatar-last-name>

For example:
avrem Lalwende Leakey

All avatars except Lalwende Leakey will be shown.

Using threshold to customize counter color

You can use threshold to change the color of prims counter depending from a threshold. Threshold can be global to all avatars or defined individually for each avatars.

threeshold <threshold> <color-ok> <color-over>

For Example:
threshold 100 00FF00 FF0000

Defines a global threshold of 100 every avatars using less prims than threshold will have a green counter, every avatar using more prims thant threshold will have a red counter.

Using indivual threshold

avadd <avatar-first-name> <avatar-last-name> [threshold]

For Example:

threshold 100 00FF00 FF0000
avadd Lalwende Leakey 200
avadd Flandria Connolly 200

Lalwende Leakey & Flandria Connolly will have 200 prims, all others avatars will use 100.

User Prims Counter

You can also give User Prims Counter to your users. User Prims Counter works like any Prims Count Board except it will count only prims of owner.

User Prims Counter is modidy+copy+transfer.

If you want to use a threshold simply edit the .ini notecard and use threshold command. Change the .ini permission to no mod before giving out the User Prims Counter.

Incomplete Inventory with Emerald

2010-02-07T01:13:00.002+01:00

If you use the viewer Emerald, it is possible you experiences missing parts. You probably have not lost anything. Something with the loading of the inventory in your viewer has done wrong, but in most cases your inventory is still there on the Linden Lab servers. This is a bug of inconsistency between the cache management of several viewers.

The default location of the cache, depending on your operating system is as follows:

Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\SecondLife\cache
Windows Vista
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\cache
Windows 7
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\browser_profile\Cache
Mac
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SecondLife/cache
Linux
~/.secondlife/cache

When You use several different viewers, make sure you use a different location cache for each application.

Select the Preferences into the Edit menu
Select the Network tab
Location Cache

Change the default location and create as many subdirectories as viewers
.. SecondLife \ cache \ Official
.. SecondLife \ cache \ Snowgloble
.. SecondLife \ cache \ Emerald

Clear your cache and then reconnect, you should find your inventory.

Dragon Resizer Script

2010-01-07T15:22:00.010+01:00

Current Release 0.14
Aide en Français

These scripts will allow you to sell no modify items to your customers and still let them change the size of their product.

Key Features

Mono compiled
Easy Setup: Simply drag the setup script and read the instructions in world,
One script only needed: Be ready for the upcoming scripts limits,
Scale the resizer speed using several resizer working in parallel within the same object,
Menu Driven: Lets end user easily resize a no mod object,
Scale: +1% +5% +10% +20%, -1% -5% -10% -20%,
Spread the scale between several objects at same time, customer can disable the spread feature,
Freeze: Deletes all Resizer scripts installed into the object.
Pose: Stops all animations and starts you in a Editing Appearance state, Click this button to turn it off and on,
Custom animation can be used for Pose,
API to control Resizer from external scripts,
Free Update for Life.

Simple steps to setup your product

Rez the object
Drag the "=IOL Resizer Setup" into the root prim objet
Wait for the script to propage into the entire set
Once you get the message "Script loaded into child prims" Take object back into inventory and rez it again.
Rez the object a second time
Edit Object and select "Set Running into selection" into Second Life Tools menu
Keep the script window open and wait until done.
Drag the "=IOL Resizer:0" into each object

Tips

Speed the resizing

You can speed up the resizing process for the customer with adding multiple "=IOL Resizer" scripts. If you add "=IOL Resizer:1" script into the object, well the resizing process with be done in parallel by the two scripts ":0" an ":1" speeding up the resizing process around two. With three scripts speed will be three times more, 4 four, etc..

Spread scale: Synchronize the scale between different objects

Dragon Resizer script can be used to synchronize the scale of different objects at same time, for example you sell boots and wants your customer to resize right and left boot in same time. You can do this using the same description for both object before running the Dragon Resizer Setup.

Minimal and maximal size

When resizing the smallest dimension will remains 0.01 and the largest will be 10.0. Dragon Resizer will still remember the scale between original dimensions for any prims. Thus if the object is scale up or down again to normal size, proportion between prims will remains correct.

Customize the Pose animation for customer

Into the Options Menu of customer there is a Pose that will trigger Edit Appearance Animation, you can change the default animation putting an animation of your own into the object contents. It should be named ".resizer-pose".

Resizer API

IOL Resizer is shiped with an API thus one can control the script behaviour from external script.

All parameters are separated with ¤ character

LM_RZR_SETPARAMS <parameter-flags>
Set the resizer parameters. Actually there is only one parameters RZR_SHOWMENU.
To disable the resizer menu use llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, LM_RZR_SETPARAMS, "0", "");

LM_RZR_SCALE <propage> <scale>
Scale object to scale ratio.
If you use a multiple set object set propage to 1.
Scale 1.0 is original size.

LM_RZR_REMOVESCRIPT
Remove scripts from current object.

LM_RZR_RESET
Reset scripts from current object.

LM_RZR_EVTREADY <resizer-number>
Raises when resizer script is ready.
Can be used to set resizer params.

LM_RZR_EVTSCALE <scale>
Raises when scale is send to child resizer

LM_RZR_EVTDONE <resizer-number>
Raises when scale has been done

Here is a little silly example how you can controle Resizer Script from an external script.

Builder's Clock Kit (fr)

2009-12-22T02:54:00.018+01:00

Version actuelle 0.10
Help in English

Avec ce kit vous pourrez facilement construire une horloge analogique avec deux ou trois aiguilles (heures/minute ou heures/minutes/secondes).

Vous trouverez dans le kit :

Un script pour configurer les prims et les textures de l'horloge (copie),
Un script pour le fonctionnement de l'horloge (redistribuable copie/transfert),
Un script pour l'animation sonore de l'horloge (redistribuable copie/transfert),
Un ensemble de 29 textures d'horloges et de 27 textures d'aiguilles pour la
présentation de votre horloge.
Un ensemble de 15 sons (7 tictac / 8 carillon d'horloge),

Etapes pour la création de l'horloge

1) Commencez par créer autant de boîtes que nécessaire pour votre horloge, (3 prims pour une horloge deux aiguilles, 4 prims pour une horloge quatre aiguilles. Liez ensuite ces prims ensemble.

2) Modifiez les propriétés du script "=IOL Clock:n" et changez les permissions pour le propriétaire suivant. Selon la nature de votre build, les permissions du propriétaire suivant doivent être soit copie/non-transfert soit no-copie/transfert. Si vous oubliez cette étape le script de l'horloge ne démarera pas et affichera un message d'erreur du type:

Object: Error: Incorrect script permission defined for next owner.
Edit the permission, should be copy/no-tran or no-copy/tran

3) Glissez les deux scripts "=IOL Clock:n" et "=IOL Clock Setup:n" (n correpondant aux nombres d'aiguilles de votre horloge) dans le prim père de votre objet.

4) Une fois fait votre objet va automatiquement prendre la forme d'une horloge par défaut.

5) Vous pouvez modifier la forme du prim père (en cylindre par exemple) ou modifier la taille du prim père en fonction de vos besoins. Les aiguilles se retailleront automatiquement et se repositionneront à la place adéquate.

5) Vous pouvez adapter le texturage de l'horloge simplement en glissant l'une des 29 textures d'horloge ou 27 textures d'aiguilles fournies dans le pack directement dans le prim père.

6) Lorsque votre horloge est fin prête, cliquez dessus et sélectionnez la commande "Start" dans le menu. Cela supprimera le script de configuration et lancera le script de l'horloge.

Modification des paramétrages

Vous pouvez modifiez les paramétrages de l'horloge en ajoutant une notecard ".clock" dans le prim père.

hourshift <hour>
Permet de régler l'heure de l'horloge en fonction de votre zone horaire.

tictac <volume> <sound-name|sound-uuid>
Définit le son jouant en bloucle pour le tictac.
volume: définit le volume sonore entre faible (0.0) and fort (1.0)
sound: peut être le nom d'un son présent dans l'inventaire de l'objet ou l'UUID d'un son.
Attention si vous utilisez vos propres sons, vous deveez utiliser un son dont la durée est un multiple exact de secondes.

bell <volume> <repeat-delay> <sound-name|sound-uuid>
Définit le son qui sera joué à chaque changement d'heure.
volume: définit le volume sonore entre faible (0.0) and fort (1.0)
repeat-delay: définit le temps de lecture entre deux déclanchement succéssif du son.
sound: peut être le nom d'un son présent dans l'inventaire de l'objet ou l'UUID d'un son.

La lecture des sons dans Second Life est limitée a 1 seul son par prim à un moment donné. Pour que le carillon horaire se joue correctement en plus du tictact vous devez ajouter un script supplémentaire "=IOL Clock Bell" dans n'importe lequel des prims des aiguilles. Surtout n'ajoutez pas ce script dans le prim père.

Builder's Clock Kit

2009-12-21T22:12:00.048+01:00

Current Release 0.10
Aide en Français

With this kit you will easily build analog clock with two or three needles(hours/minutes or hours/minutes/seconds).

What you will find into the kit is:

Mono scripts to setup the prims / texture for your clock (copy),
Mono scripts that will run the clock (redistribuable copy/tran),
Mono script to play bell sound (copy/tran redistribuable),
Mono script to add a swing to your clock (copy/tran redistribuable),
A set of 56 textures (29 Clock / 2x27 Needles) to customize your clock,
A set of 15 sounds (7 tictac / 8 hour bell).

Rotating Prims vs. Rotation Textures

The Builder's Clock Kit pack is shiped with two versions of setup scripts. One will let the prims of needles rotate, one will let the textures of needles prims rotate. Best way to see the difference is to rez the two samples clock shiped with the pack "Clock Sample (Rotating Textures)" and "Clock Sample (Rotating Prims)".

Rotate Prims are useful if you don't use textures for the needles but plain prims (like little cylinders for instance).

Rotate Textures is fine if you use textures for the needles, rotating textures is safer with alpha textures and z-buffer conflict.

Simple steps to setup your clock

1) Firt create as many boxes you need for your clock (3 prims for two needles clock, 4 prims for three needles clock) and link them together.

2) Edit the properties of "=IOL Clock:n Needles" scripts and modify the permissions. Depends of your build, next owner permission should be set either to copy/no-tran or to no-copy/tran . If you miss this step the clock script wont start and you will get an message error such as :

Object: Error: Incorrect script permission defined for next owner. Edit the permission, should be copy/no-tran or no-copy/tran

3) Drag the two scripts "=IOL Clock Setup:Rotate Textures:n Needles" & "=IOL Clock:n Needles" (n depending on the number of needles you want for your clock) into the root prim of your linked object.

4) Once done the prims will be modified into a default clock.

5) You can change the shape of the root prim to cylinder or scale the root prim to fit your needs. The needles will automatically resize and position themselves on correct place.

6) You can also customize your clock by simply dragging any of the Clock or Needles Textures shipped with the Pack into the root prim contents. (29 Clock Templates & 27 Needles Templates). For the needles use textures noted P for Rotating Prims and textures noted T for Rotating Textures.

7) Once the clock is ready click on the clock and select "Start" into the menu. This will remove the setup script from the object and launch the Clock script.

Change the clock settings

You can customize your clock with adding a notecard .clock into the root prim inventory.
tz <hour>
Allow to shift hour of clock depends of your timezone.

tictac <volume> <sound-name|sound-uuid>
Set a sound play that play into a loop Volume: between low (0.0) and loud (1.0) Sound: can be any sound name into the clock inventory or the sound UUID If you use your own sound you need to use a sound that lasts for a multiple of seconds.

bell <volume> <repeat-delay> <sound-name|sound-uuid>
Set a sound play that play each hour Volume: between low (0.0) and loud (1.0) Repeat Delay: defines how much time will pass between tow defines how much time passes between TRIGGER Sound Sound: can be any sound name into the clock inventory or the sound UUID; For the clock to to play bell sound you will need to add an extra script "=IOL Clock Bell" into any of the needles prim. Be sure to not add it into the root prim.

Adding a swing to your clock

You can add a swing to your clock using the "=IOL Clock Swing" script. Simply create an object, add the script, copy the default .swing notecard. You can change the swing feature altering the .swing notecard. Swing is performed using two kind of rotation:

Smooth rotation, this rotation is done using llTargetOmega which is done localy on viewer side. This mode is very smooth and accurate but mayb be interrupted and perform some silly move on a laggy SIM.
Standard rotation, this rotation is done using llSetPos

mode <standard|smooth>
Set the swing mode smooth: standard: the move is not as nice but the script works in any condition : done with llSetRot

angle <angle>
Set the swing angle in degree

axes <x y z>
Set the rotation axes

Tuner will be use to search/store your radio stations
Media Antenna will modify the Music URL property of your parcel

ID and Password

All the communications between the Tuner and the different extra devices including (Antena, Wall Remote Control, HUD Remote Control, Information Panel) are crypted to prevent anyone to hack your radiON system.

Thus all devices need to have same Password and ID defined to work together.
The default settings are

ID MyRadio

Password ElmaQEoZnoXEVbhuSeVu

The ID allow you to have two differents Tuner on different parcel on same SIM and prevent them to interfere each others.
Those parameters are setup into the .ini notecard of each devices.

NB: If you want to change the password of your system and you already rez and deed the antenna to a group you will need to return it into the inventory before being able to modify the parameters into the .ini notecard.

radiON Tuner JukeBox Waves O'Tune 1411 (11 Prims)
radiON Tuner JukeBox Zubritzler M851 (1 Prims)
radiON Tuner Vintage Gipfelpunkt (5 Prims)

Wait until you get the message radiON Tuner is ready (23534)

Rezzing the Antenna

Streaming music relies on the Second Life viewer reading the Music URL property associated with each parcel of land. The Second Life viewer will use the Music URL value to connect Quicktime media player to the music stream. When you tune to a radio station, a script inside the Media Antenna changes the value of this property, this can be done only if the owner of the Media Antenna and the owner of the land are the same person or group.

Rez the The Media Antenna on ground, this is a no copy object, it will disappear from your inventory.

Land parcel is owned by you personally

If you own personally the land you won't need extra configuration for the radio to work. Once rezzed you will see the following messages over the Media Antenna.

Checking Permissions (Yellow)
Read Settings (Yellow)
iMedia is ready to be registered (Green)

Once you get this message click on the Antenna and select Register on the menu.

Search for Media Server (Yellow)
Communication with radiON Tuner initialized. iMedia Antenna is ready. (Green)

Land parcel is owned by a group

If the Land Parcel is owned by a group the Antenna will need to deed it to the same Group as the Land Parcel for the radio to work.

Check your role abilities
First check your role abilities into the group. You need two abilities for the process to succes:

Deed objects to group
Change music & media settings

Select Edit / Groups into the Second Life Viewer menu
Click on Info Button
Select the Members & Roles tab
Search your name into the list
And check those abilities into the Allowed Abilities List

In case you don't find them you will need to contact the group owners to fix it.

NB: If the "Change music & media settings" ability has been granted to your role after rezzing and deeding the antenna, it won't work. You should then take the Antenna back into inventory and restart the registration process.

Deed the antenna to the group
Right-click on your radio and select Edit from the pie menu.
Be sure the Antenna is set to same Group as your Parcel. If not click on "Set..." button and select the correct Group.
Once done check the Share with group checkbox.
The "Deed..." button should immediately turn blue. In case it doesn't you will need to ask the Group Owner to grant you permission to deed object to group.
Click the Deed... button
You will receive the standard Linden L$ warning dialog. This is not an object people will pay thus accept it.

Channel commands

Radio can be controlled using typed commands. These typed commands are listed into this help and are given on a specific command channel (which can be set/changed via typed command). The default channel is 5.

Direct Stream

IOL Radio recognize direct stream url and three kind of Media Resource Locator (M3U, PLS, ASX)

M3U (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer 3 Uniform Resource Locator) is a computer file format that stores multimedia playlists. It was originally implemented in Winamp, although it is now supported by many applications.

PLS is a computer file format that stores multimedia playlists. It is a more expressive format than basic M3U, as it can store (cache) information on the song title and length — extended M3U supports this, too. With PLS version 2, playlists also include a PLS version declaration.

Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) When you use .asx files, you are directed to streaming media content, usually on multimedia Web sites. The .asx files are simple text files that contain server and media information.

You can setup a stream by specifying the url with the command /5u. Here are samples:



/5  http://www.myserver.com:8000 [Direct Stream URL]

/5u http://dir.xiph.org/listen/1391606/listen.m3u [Stream URL using M3U Media Locator]

At anytime you can reshow the last search while clicking on [Lastsearch] button of your Tuner menu or by using the /5l command.

You can tune up to any radio station into your last search result list using the /5t command followed by the number of radio.

Searching a radio by keyword

You can use your tuner to search through Shoutcast Yellow Pages by keywords (name of radio station/artist/song) using the /5? command followed by any keywords.

/5? madonna

Keep in mind that current track is cached by SHOUTcast Yellow Pages system using a delay, most of time retrieving a Radio with artist or song is not very accurate. (Your request is more which radio station has played a song of Madonna recently than which Radio is currently playing Madonna).

Refining the Search

BitRate
/5fbr [32|56|96|128|192|224|256|320]
You can refine Radio Stations by using the bit rate command filter (/5fbr ). Valid bit rate values are: 32, 56, 96, 128, 192, 224, 256, 320. This will exclude all other bit rates. If you are only interested in receiving 128k bit rate streams, use this feature. If you want to select from everything that is available, leave this enmpty (/5fbr)

The higher bit rate number the higher the quality of the sound. However, it is usually not a good idea to use Radio Stations with a high bit rate within Second Life™ as you cannot expect from everyone to have a good network bandwidth.

MediaType
/5fbr [mp3|aac]
You can refine Radio Stations by using the mediatype command filter (/5fmt ). Valid media type values are: mp3, aac. Usually Audio using AAC have greater sounds quality than MP3 at same bit rate.

Bookmarks

Every time you play a radio you want to remind you can easily add it to your bookmarks using the "Bookmark+" command of your tuner menu.

If current radio station is into your bookmarks you can use the [Bookmark-] to remove the station of your current bookmarks.

At any time you can select any previously stored bookmark using the [Bookmark...] command of your tuner menu.

Customize the Preset Menus

If you want to quickly change between your favorite search or stream you can setup favorites notecard that will automatically show into your tuner menu. There are four kind of preset : url, shoutcastid, shoutcast search by genre, shoutcast search by keyword.

To customize the menu
Add a ".preset [My Preset]" notecard name
My Preset will show in the menu

Add lines of three fields seperated with semicolon
[preset type];[radio name];[parameter]

Preset type can be any of this four type
s to set a radio using shoutcast id
u to set a radio using an url (stream redirector (m3u/pls/asx) can be use)
? to search using a keyword
g to search using a genre

Examples

Set Access Permission

By default the radio is set to allow anyone to use it. If you want to restraint the use of your radio you will need to edit the configuration note card (.ini) into the Tuner.

Right-click on your radio and select Open from the pie menu.
In the "Object Contents" of the Tuner, select the configuration notecard (.ini) and modifity the command as needed. Once done save it.

To set the access permissions
Perms Public [on/off] for allowing everyone to use the radio
Perms Group [on/off] for allowing members of same group the Radio is set to
Perms Avadd [avatar name] for adding someone to list of allowed avatars

You can also use the following commands on chat
/5 perms public [on/off] for allowing everyone to use the radio
/5 perms group [on/off] for allowing members of same group the Radio is set to.
/5 perms avadd [Avatar Fullname] for adding someone to list of allowed avatars

When you grant permission to use the radion to others, you may prevent them of using some specific command like changing the channel or your password.
You can setup an Owner Restricted Commands List that are available to you only whatever the permissions are set to public, group or avatarlist

Default owner restricted commands are : channel, perms, password, id
Use /5 perms orcadd <command> and /5 perms orcrem <command> commands to setup your owner restricted command list.

Controling several parcels

If you want to control several parcels, you will need to buy extra antennas for each parcels. One extra Antenna is 50L$, and the 10 Antennas pack is 300L$ only. You wont need to buy several radiON system as the tuners/wall remote control/hud are copy items. This is one of great advantage of radiON system over competitors, as you will get a much cheaper solution if you own several parcels.

Each parcel can be controlled with a specific tuner, or you can link several parcels/antennas to a single Tuner. Let's have an example:

Imagine you own three parcels on same SIM. Parcel 1,2 & 3. And you want to use same stream for parcels 1&2, but want a different stream for parcel 3. Here is how you can setup your radiON sytem.

Rez three Antennas:
Antenna 1 on Parcel 1 with ID A
Antenna 2 on Parcel 2 with ID A
Antenna 3 on Parcel 3 with ID B

Rez two Tuners:
Tuner A on Parcel 1 or Parcel 2 with ID A
Tuner B on Parcel 3 with ID B

This way, each time you will use the Tuner A same stream will be used for Parcel 1 & 2. On the other side Tuner 2 will only affect parcel 3.
There is no limitation, you can link as many Antennas/Parcels you want for each Tuner.

Wall Remote Control

radION sytem is shipped with a one prim Wall Remote Control you can copy and rez anywhere on your parcel. Due to some Second Life limitation you can use the tuner chat command only within the 20 meters chat range. Wall Remote Control is thus needed if you want to access to your tuner from several locations within your parcel. Each Wall Remote Control will use a relay channel (you can customize) that will directly send your commands to the tuner with same ID. Default relay channel is /6. You can use any command available with the Tuner or simple click onto the Wall Remote Control to get the tuner menu.

To setup a Wall Remote Control simply rez it and edit the .ini notecard to match with the password and the ID you used for the Antenna/Tuner. Once done the device will immedialty try to reach the suited tuner.

HUD

radiON system is shipped with a HUD. It can be used to replace Wall Remote Control an awesome way, instead of placing several Wall Remote Controls, you can wear the HUD and control your Tuners wherever you are. The radiON HUD will use a relay channel (you can customize) that will directly relay your commands to the Tuner with same ID. Default relay channel for the HUD is /7.

What is interresting with the HUD is it power to recognize several Tuners without any effort. If you have several parcels on same SIM using distinct Antennas/Tuners ID, you can add all those ID to the HUD that will automatically recognize the tuner linked to the parcel you are in. Thus if you move within the SIM, you wont have to think about it, each time you will change of parcel the HUD will automatically reconnect to the correct Tuner.

The HUD will automatically display the following information : Radio Station Name, Kbps, Current Track, Listener Count/Total.

To setup the HUD simply wear it and edit the .ini notecard to match with the password and all the ID you use for the different Antennas/Tuners of your SIM. Once done the HUD will automatically try to reach the tuner.

Once a tuner is recognized you can use the tuner button to acces to it.
While clicking to the settings button you will be able to customize the Font/Color/Background Colors.

Radio Station Stream Information Panel

radION system is shipped with an Radio Station Information Panel showing the current Radio Station name, Radio Kbs, Radio Listenner and Current Track.

While clicking to the Radio Station Information Panel you will be able to customize the Font/Color/Background Colors.

To setup a Radio Station Stream Information Panel simply rez it and edit the .ini notecard to match with the password and the ID you used for the Antenna/Tuner. Once done the device will immedialty try to reach the suited tuner.

A note about Arab & Hebrew translation

2009-04-27T15:35:00.006+02:00

Why there is a specific case for those two languages. In fact Second Life Viewer does'nt support correctly those two languages.
Everone can read the information on JIRA http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-112.
Thus we need to resolve into our translators what Linden didn't fix for now.
All those fixes are temporary and will need to be removed the day this Second Life Viewer will be fixed.

I was the first to work on this trouble long before others did and I release the first translator really support Arab & Hebrew the 28th September 2008 with the 0.13 Release of Q-Translator.
Actually there are ony two translators than can be used to have a talk with an Arab or Hebrew within SL (translating in both way).
Those two translators are Q-Translator and AF Translator (with some restriction for AF).

Anyone one that would like to test can contact me.
This is why on my comparaison table in world i remove 2 languages from Ferd Translator, MH Translator, UTv12 and X-Lang.
There is a major difference between calling the Google Translator API and make it works with Arab/Hebrew within SL.

Now there are many situations you need to care to fully support Arabic & Hebrew.
Let's make a test everyone can reproduce using the last translators version below.

AF: AF Pro 1.5
FT: Ferd Translator 7.5d
MH: MH Translator 3.82
QT: Q-Translator 0.27
XL: X-Lang 6.0

The correct translation of the English sentence "I have 35 flowers in my box" into Arabic is "عبرم يدلب يف روهزلا 35 يدل"

I SPEAK ENGLISH SOMEONE ELSE SPEAK ARAB

A note about Taiwanese translation

2009-04-27T15:30:00.004+02:00

There is actually no translator within SL supporting Taiwanese.
The words "simplified" and "traditional" refer to the characters used, not the language that's written in them.
Google translates into Mandarin and Mandarin Only.

There are seven major Chinese dialect
Mandarin (850 millions), Wu 90M, Yue (Cantonese) 80M, Min 50M (including Taiwanese), Xiang 35M, Hakka 35M, Gan 25M

The simplified character set is mostly use in Republic of China, Singapore, Malaysia, the traditionnal set in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.
Debat on traditional and simplified Chinese characters

From Wiki pages

About 70% of the people in Taiwan belong to the Hoklo ethnic group and speak both Standard Mandarin (officially recognized by the ROC as the National Language) and Taiwanese Minnan (commonly known as "Taiwanese"; a variant of Min Nan spoken in Fujian province). Standard Mandarin is the primary language of instruction in schools; however, most spoken media is split between Mandarin and Taiwanese. The Hakka, about 15% of the population, have a distinct Hakka dialect. Aboriginal minority groups still speak their native languages, although most also speak Mandarin. English is a common second language, with some large private schools providing English instruction. English is compulsory in students' curriculum once they enter middle school. English as a school subject is also featured on Taiwan's education exams.
...

About Taiwanese Min-nan

Taiwanese Min-nan is a variant of the Min Nan Chinese language spoken by about 70% of the population of Taiwan.
This language is absolutely not supported by Google.
Min is the only branch of Chinese that cannot be directly derived from Middle Chinese.
This may account for the difficulty in finding the appropriate Chinese characters for some Min Nan vocabulary.
This is maybe also part of the reasons why it is almost totally mutually unintelligible with Mandarin or other Chinese dialects.
Mandarin and Min-nan are 62% phonetically similar and 15.1% lexically similar. In comparison, German and English are 60% lexically similar

Everyone interrested into languages can find detailled informations on chinese languages here:

Q-Translator 0.27 supports both "Simplified" & "Traditionnal" characters as target character set for Mandarin.

Current release v0.12
Aide en Français

Who never experiences those great moment in Second Life:

Camera shopping with a friend trying to localize where is that nice red outfit she is speaking of.
Building with your partner trying to understand which prim he is speaking about.
Visiting a new SIM and focus all your attention on where your guide moves,
Giving a building lesson and loosing time to explain where to look

How complicated it is sometimes to explain the evidence ! You just get it on your screen and cannot find the right words to explain.

CAMSync may help you in such situations. It is a handy tool for synchronizing camera back and forth between two avatars. This tool is shiped with two HUDs :

CAMSync (copy) is the main HUD you will wear, it is needed to initiate camera synchronisation,
CAMSync Free Client (copy/tran) you can send to any friend.

Camera synchronization can be done either between two CAMSync, or between a CAMSync and a CAMSync Free Client.

CAMSync Preview

Getting started with CAMSync

Wear you CAMSync HUD, if your friend doesn't already have the CAMSync Free Client then click on the green "On" icon. A dialog menu will popup, select the "Give..." command and her/his name friend in the list. Your friend will receive the CAMSync Free Client, ask her/him to wear it.

Once you received notification "[Avatar Name] CAMSync is online" you can initiate the communication between the both devices.

Select the "Connect" icon, select "Add..." button and finally select your friend name in list. You will receive a notification "[Avatar Name] CAMSync received connection request". A dialog will popup on her/his side asking her/him to allow the synchronization of her/his camera.

Once it is accepted your camera will be the master and your friend will start to see the world from your sight. You will receive a notification "[Avatar Name] CAMSync is connected."

Everytime someone is in slave mode CAMSync will warn with a private message "Press Escape to give access". Indeed for CAMSync to work the camera needs to be release to script control, if you use the shortcuts key to move your camera then you will need to leave that mode and give control to script by pressing Escape key.

At anytime you can change the camera master/slave mode

If you click on slave button then it will swap you in slave mode and your friend will be automatically be set in master mode.
If your friend click on master button then it will swap her/him in master mode and you will be set automatically in slave mode.
If you are in slave mode and click the slave button then your camera synchronisation will pause. It is useful if you need to move for instance. Once you want to be resynchronized with remote master, click on the slave button again.

Fully works in no-script area
If you attach your HUD in a script area and you move into an no-script area Q-Translator will continue to operate. The HUD interface will also work as you were in a normal script area.

Using the camera

Keys shortcuts

Here are the basic key shortcuts for moving your camera

Alt and clicking something focuses it to the center of the screen.
Alt and dragging the mouse zooms the camera.
Alt-Ctrl and dragging orbits the camera.
Alt-Ctrl-Shift and dragging pans the camera.

Difficult concepts to explain in words, so try it for yourself!

If you're on a Mac, Alt = Opt (also marked Alt on newer Macs).

You can also use: The directional arrow or WASD (with chat bar closed) keys instead of dragging the mouse. View menu > Camera Controls — I highly prefer keyboard shortcuts in most cases, as I find them quicker.

Looking Around with camera controls,
a video from Torley Linden

Disable Camera Constraint

When you are in slave mode make sure Disable Camera Constraints is enabled in your Advanced Menu. Indeed if the master uses it camera to move in an entire sim and camera constraint are not disabled, you wont see anything cause your camera by default is contraint to not move too far from you.

For disable the camera constraints, enable the Advanced menu while pressing Ctrl-Alt-D on PC or Opt-Ctrl-D on Mac. You'll see a new menu at the top of your screen on left of the Help menu: Advanced. Make sure Disable Camera Constraints is checked.

You can watch Torley Tips for a better understanding of this particulary point.
Tip of the Week: How to move your camera further and better

CAMSync Multi-Avatars mode

In fact you can use CAMSync in two synchronization modes:

either exchange camera with a single avatar in a collaborationg mode, the remote CAMSync can swap to master mode. This mode is called "Single".
or use CAMSync to control/teach several avatars in same time. All remote devices will be synchronized to your camera but none of them can swap to master mode. This mode is called "Multi".

Use the [Mode:] button in the connection Dialog to select synchronization mode before establishing the connection.

If you use "Multi" mode you can :

Request for a connection to all avatars wearing the CAMSync instead of selecting them one by one.
Add a new CAMSync to your current session at any time. If someone is coming in late no worry, just select Connect and Add the new avatar.

CAMSync command

You wont need to use the command directly except if you move to a no-script area. In such a case CAMSync HUD interface wont respond to any click, but the device is still active and you still can use it using the commands directly in public chat.

Qui n'a jamais vécu ces grands moments de Second Life:

Faire les boutiques avec une amie en essayant de localiser le superbe ensemble rouge qu'elle vous décrit.
Builder avec votre partenaire et d'essayer de comprendre de quel prim il est entrain de vous parler.
Visiter une nouvelle SIM en focalisant tout votre attention sur la présentation de votre guide et non pas sur ses déplacements,
Donner un cours de build et perdre son temps à expliquer où regarder

Il est quelquefois si compliqué d'expliquer l'évidence ! Vous l'avez devant les yeux et ne trouvez pas les mots pour expliquer.

CAMSync va vous aider dans ce genre de situations. Il s'agit d'un outil pratique pour synchronizer en temps réel la vue (ce qu'ils voient à l'écran) de deux avatars.

Cet outil est livré avec deux HUDs:

CAMSync (copy) est le HUD principal que vous porterez, il est nécessaire à l'initialisation de la synchronization.
CAMSync Free Client (copy/tran) que vous pouvez distribuez à n'importe lequel de vos amis.

La synchronisation de la caméra peut se faire soit entre deux CAMSync, soit entre un CAMSync et un CAMSync Free Client.

CAMSync Prévisualisation

Premiers pas avec CAMSync

Portez votre CAMSync HUD. Si votre ami n'a pas déjà le CAMSync Free Client alors cliquez sur le bouton vert "On" pour accéder au menu, puis sélectionnez l'option "Give...", Choisissez le nom votre ami nom dans la liste. Votre ami recevra le CAMSync gratuit client, demandez-lui de le porter.

Dès que votre ami portera le HUD, vous recevrez la notification "[Avatar Name] CAMSync is online", vous pouvez initialisez la communication entre les deux dispositifs.

Sélectionnez l'icône "Connect", sélectionnez le bouton "Add..." et sélectionnez le nom de votre ami dans la liste. Vous recevrez une notification "[Avatar Name] CAMSync received connection request". Une boîte de dialogue s'affichera de son côté lui demandant d'accepter la synchronization de sa caméra.

Une fois qu'il aura accepté votre caméra sera la maître et votre ami va commencer à voir le monde de votre vue. Vous recevrez une notification "[Avatar Name] CAMSync is connected."

Chaque fois que quelqu'un est en mode esclave CAMSync avertit avec un message privé "Press Escape to give access". En effet, pour que CAMSync fonctionne le contrôle de la caméra doit être confié au script, si vous utilisez les raccourcis clavier pour déplacer votre caméra, vous devrez quitter ce mode et donner le contrôle au script en pressant la touche Escape/Echap.

CAMSync est un outil collaboratif, à tout moment vous pouvez changer le mode de la caméra vers maître / esclave

Si vous cliquez sur le bouton esclave alors vous basculerez en mode esclave et votre ami sera automatiquement en mode maître.
Si votre ami clique sur le bouton maître alors il basculera en mode maître et vous serez automatiquement en mode esclave.
Si vous êtes en mode esclave et cliquez sur le bouton esclave, la synchronisation de la caméra se met en pause. Il est utile si vous avez besoin de vous déplacer par exemple. Lorsque que vous voulez être resynchronisé avec le maître, cliquez sur le bouton esclave à nouveau.

Fonctionne totalement dans les zones no-script
Si vous attachez votre HUD dans une zone script et que vous vous déplacez dans une zone no-script, CAMSync continuera de fonctionner. L'interface du HUD elle aussi continuera de fonctionner comme si vous étiez dans un zone script normale.

Utiliser la caméra

Raccourcis clavier

Voici les raccourcis de base pour le déplacement de votre caméra.

Alt + click sur un objet permet de focalisez cet objet dans le centre de l'écran,
Alt+Glisser de la souris permet de contrôler le zoom de la caméra,
Alt+Ctrl+Glisser permet d'orienter la caméra,
Alt+Ctrl+Shift and dragging pans the camera.

Ce sont des concepts difficiles à expliquer avec des mots, essayer par vous même !

Si vous utilisez un Mac, l'équivalent de la touche Alt est la touche Opt (Aussi marquée Alt sur les nouveaux Macs).

Vous pouvez aussi utiliser les flèches directionnelle ou les touches WASD (avec la barre de chat fermée) au lieu de glisser la souris. Voir le menu> commandes de l'appareil - je préfère les raccourcis clavier dans la plupart des cas, comme je les trouve plus rapide.

Looking Around with camera controls,
a video from Torley Linden

Désactiver les contraintes de la caméra

Lorsque vous êtes en mode esclave assurez vous Disable Camera Constraints est activé dans votre Advanced Menu. En effet, si le maître utilise la caméra pour se déplacer sur la SIM complèete et que les contraintes caméra ne sont pas désactivées, vous ne verrez rien parceque votre caméra est contrainte à ne pas déplacer trop loin de vous.

Pour désactiver les contraintes de la caméra, activez le menu Avancé en appuyant sur Ctrl-Alt-D sur PC ou Opt-Ctrl-D sur Mac. Vous verrez un nouveau menu en haut de votre écran sur la gauche du menu Aide: Avancé. Assurez-vous que "Désactiver les contraintes caméra" est coché.

CAMSync Multi-Avatars mode

En fait vous pouvez utiliser CAMSync dans deux modes de synchronisation:

Utilisez le button[Mode:] dans la boîte de dialogue de connexion pour sélection le type de synchronisation avant d'établir la connection.

If you use "Multi" mode you can :

Request for a connection to all avatars wearing the CAMSync instead of selecting them one by one.
Add a new CAMSync to your current session at any time. If someone is coming in late no worry, just select Connect and Add the new avatar.

It remembers its position until you use another attachment point.

Important The system used by Q-Translator to autoposition the HUD works differently for SL Viewer 1.x series and SL Viewer 2.x. Unfortunately there is no way to for a script to detect which version you are using. By default SL Viewer 2.x is used, if you are still using old viewer version type the commande /8 hud viewer 1.

Resize your HUD

You want the HUD to be very small to enhance the view in world. You're short sight and need a large HUD. You can change the default size of the Q-Translator HUD to one that suits you using the command size.


for the smaller size
/8 hud size 1 
for the larger size
/8 hud size 10
use any number between 1 and 10 until you find yours !

Minimize your HUD

Once worn you can minimize your Q-Translator by clicking on upper left arrow. To restore it to the standard user interface, click on "Q-Trans" tab.

Let's Play ! Translation Principles

My Language / Foreign Language

You will need to setup two major languages that will be used for translations.

The language in blue ((ml)) is your native language and will be used for translating what is said by others on public chat. Click on the blue icon to change it.
The language in red ((fl)) is the foreing language that will be used when translating what you say in public chat. Click on red icon to modify it. In both cases a dialog will popup showing the 34 available languages.

Q-Translator uses ISO 639 icons to display languages.

Different Translation mode in details

Q-Translator will translate using five different manners.

Using for public chat:

Anything said by avatars and objects in public chat (whatever the language they use Q-Translator will autodetect the source language) will be translated into your language ((ml)) (results will be private and shown only for you)
Anything said by you in public chat will be translated into the chosen foreign language ((fl)) (results are shown in public as the original sentence)
For public use, anything you will say in the "to-public" customized channel (/1 by default) will be translated from your language ((ml)) into foreign language ((fl)). Result is shown on public chat, with this option your original message won't be shown. Use this option if you want to hide the original sentence.

Using it for IM:
There is actually no way for a script to listen to what is said in IM messaging, thus you cannot have an automatic system for translating in IM. However you can use two private channels and copy/paste messages between IM and these private channels to handle this situation. See the chapter Using Q-Translator with IM.

Using Auto lang

While doing translation Q-Translator can auto detect the language of any message. The two Auto lang buttons (A) enable this detection. When disabled the default language will be used for translating ((ml)) for your message and ((fl)) for any public messages. Depending of the situation the two options can be useful:

Until you don't use several languages when you speek, it is better to disable Auto Detect Language for Me.
When you're in a public place where many different languages are spoken, enabling Auto lang for Others might be best. But as any automatic language process, some mistakes can be made during the detection of languages, for single words, idioms or short sentences.
When people next to you are using the same language, for instance English, disabling Auto Lang for Others can give a better result.

Show Lang On/Off

You can use the Show Lang button to show/hide the display in public chat of source and target language used by Q-Translator. When enabled an additional header will be added to translation (en->fr)

Using the Spellchecker

Auto Spellcheck

Q-Translator includes a spellchecker. The spellchecker button can be used to automatically spellcheck before translating.

Auto Spellcheck is a major feature!. Let's take an example that will clearly show you why. Set your ((ml)) to English (en) and ((fl)) to French (fr).

Test with translating into French this terrible sentence
Uncheck Auto Lang & Spellcheck
/2 ths is a tst with awfull erors

Without spellcheck (what all competitors will shown)
ths est un tst avec awfull erors

With Q-Translator Auto-Spellcheck feature
Ceci est un test avec des erreurs terribles

Using the spellchecker without translation

You can use the spellchecker without translation while setting the ((fl)) language identical to the ((ml)) language.

Show Spellchecker correction

You can use Show Spellcheck button to show/hide corrections made by Q-Spellcheck. When enabled, if any correction is made by the spellcheck, an additional message will be shown "Q- SpellCheck: ....

Spellcheck commands

You can also use spellcheck with handy command spellcheck or shorcut s.

/8 s sentence will spellcheck the sentence using the ((ml)) language
/8 sml sentence will spellcheck the sentence using the ((ml)) language
/8 sfl sentence will spellcheck the sentence using ((fl)) language
/8 sen sentence will spellcheck the sentence using English
/8 sfr sentence will spellcheck the sentence using French
/8 s[langid] sentence will spellcheck the sentence using language specified by langid parameter

Don't use a space between s and langid.
See chapter below for the list of language id.

Filtering public chat translation

The translation filters can limit translation according to a number of criteria.

Others / Me / Objects / Avatars List

Q-Translator is listenning to public chat and will translate everything depending on the who filters you have enabled. There are four filters available : Public / Me / Objects / Avatars in List

When enabled will translate everything said by other avatars in public chat into ((ml))
When enabled will translate everything you say on public channel into the current ((fl))
When enabled will also translate messages emitted by objects
When enabled will restraint translation to avatars in your personal list

NB: Public and Avatars List filters cannot be selected together. You can either filter Public (all avatars) or Avatars List (only those specified in list).

Manage your personal Avatar List

Use the add button to add an avatar to your personal list
Use remove button to remove an avatar from your personal list.

Controlling the Chat Output Method

By default Q-Translator will use Say when translating what you are saying. Put you can control the chat output methode and chooses between Private / Whisper / Say / Shout. Click on the micro on right upper part of the HUD.

OwnerSay might be useful to learn a new language. You can speak your native language all the time wearing Q-Translalor but having result translated to you only without bothering anyone in public chat.

Whisper can be used to reduce the spam. Say is the normal way. And Shout can be used if you really need to spread your voice.

Using Q-Translator with IM

For now LSL scripts can not listen directly to IM, and therefore can not translate Instant Messages. However Q-Translator provides private channels to bring in private IMs using copy and paste. The solution is not perfect but is the only currently feasible.

Lets see an example to illustrate the use of private channels.

An example with IM

Your friend J0 speaks in French and you speak English. Your Q-Translator is set up like this: English as My Language ((en)) and French as Foreign Language ((fr)).

You receive an IM from J0
J0:Salut, comment vas tu aujourd'hui ?

You will need to :
Select that message "Salut, comment vas tu aujourd'hui ?" in your IM windows,
Copy it using [Ctrl + C],
Type in chat "/3"
And paste the message using [Ctrl + V]

/3 Salut, comment vas tu aujourd'hui ?

This command is private, only you will receive the translation
Q-Translator (fr->en): Hi, how you going today?

Now you want to answer using your native language
Type :
/2 Very well and you ? I'm using my new translator machine right now ...

You will receive this translation
Q-Translator (en->fr): Très bien et vous? Je suis sur ma nouvelle machine de traduction pour le moment ...

Select the message "Très bien et vous? Je suis sur ma nouvelle machine de traduction pour le moment ..."
Copy it using [Ctrl + C]
Paste into the IM windows

Forcing default language

While using personal channels you can force the a language other than the default language by using the force language parameter. Use "!" char followed with one of language id.

For instance if your default foreign language ((fr)) and you type:
/2 !de this is a try in German

The "This is a try" sentence will be translated into "German" instead of French.
Q-Translator (en->de): Dies ist ein Versuch in Deutsch

NB: When using // in chat, the Second Life Viewer remembers the last channel you used. This might be a quicker way to use your private channels.

Quality versus Speed

Depending on the options you use for Auto Lang and Auto Spellcheck, the number of requests needed for a complete translation changes. See the table below.

Auto Lang (Off) / Auto Spellcheck (Off)	1 request: translate
Auto Lang (On) / Auto Spellcheck (Off)	1 request: translate
Auto Lang (Off) / Auto Spellcheck (On)	sometimes 2 requests: spellcheck -> translate
Auto Lang (On) / Auto Spellcheck (On)	sometimes 2 requests : detect -> translate

Using the Dictionaries

Q-Translator includes mono-language dictionairies in 9 languages: Chinese, Dutch, English, German, French, Italien, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish ; as well multi-languages dictionairies between English and 16 other languages: Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindu, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Thaï.

The dictionary can be only used with a channel command.

/8 wiki<language id> <word>
Search for the word <word> into Wikipedia pages.
If language id is not specified current ((ml)) language is used.
You can use shortcut command w instead of command wiki.

For instance /8wen Gödel gives following result

Q-Wiki: Kurt Gödel Kurt Gödel () (April 28, 1906 Brno – January 14, 1978 Princeton, New Jersey) was an Austrian-American logician, mathematician and philosopher. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_G%C3%B6del Q-Wiki: Gödel (programming language) Gödel is a declarative, general-purpose programming language that adheres to the logic programming paradigm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del_(programming_language) Q-Wiki: Gödel number In mathematical logic, a Gödel numbering is a function that assigns to each symbol and well-formed formula of some formal language a unique natural number called its Gödel number. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del_number Q-Wiki: Gödel's completeness theorem Gödel's completeness theorem is a fundamental theorem in mathematical logic that establishes a correspondence between semantic truth and syntactic provability in first-order logic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_completeness_theorem Q-Wiki: Constructible universe In mathematics, the constructible universe (or Gödel's constructible universe), denoted L, is a particular class of sets which can be described entirely in terms of simpler sets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_universe

Q-Translator Commands

Q-Translator can be controlled using typed commands. These typed commands are listed below and are given on a specific command channel (which can be set/changed via typed command). The default channel is 8.

Command example:
/8 help

is needed
[parameter] is optional

All the commands you type on the public channel can be setup in a notecard named .ini . You can find this notecard into the contents of Q-Translator.

/8 channel <channelid> <channelnumber|off> [listen-to-object:true|false]
You can use the channel command to modify the channel used by Q-Translator for any of the following channel-id: command, to-public, to-ml, to-fl, to-ac.
If you use off as the channel number the channel will be removed.
You can use shortcut c instead of command channel.

The default channel number are
1 for the public translation channel to foreign language "to-public"
2 for the private translation channel to foreign language "to-fl"
3 for the private translation channel to your native language "to-ml"
4 for the accentued language "to-fa"
8 for the command channel of Q-Translator "command"

You can setup the channel listening to your own object as well. This can be handy if you want to use q-translator as a translation engine for other HUDs.
Simply edit the notecard. ini file and add "true" as the third third parameter for each channel that you want to be listening to your objects.

For instance to allow personal channel "to-public" to listen to objects you own
replace
channel to-public 1
with
channel to-public 1 true

How to Setup SL Viewer with Windows Fonts

If you see non-latin characters as small square dots when you use Q-Translator read this paragraph. In fact this issue has nothing to do with Q-Translator but is related to the setup of Second Life Viewer on a Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista PC.

Editing the .ini notecard

You can set up your Q-Translator by editing the ".ini" notecard you will find in the Q-Translator contents. Before editing this notecard, I strongly advise you to make a backup copy in your inventory to refer to, in case your edited copy becomes corrupt.

For altering the ".ini" notecard, wear the Q-Translator. Next rightclick on the object and select 'Edit' in the pie menu. Select the "content" tab. Double click the ".ini" notecard to open and edit it.

Every command that works as a typed command (see above) can be used in the notecard. Any lines that begin with a double slash will be treated as comments and will be ignored.

Once you have finished editing the notecard, save it and Q-Translator will detect the changes, you don't need to reset your Q-Translator in order for the scripts to pick up these changes.

Here is the .ini notecard shipped with your item:

// ==COMMAND CHANNEL== // set command channel channel command 8 // default languages // set default ML "My Language" to English ml en // set default FL "Foreign Language" to French fl fr // default translator parameters autoothers on autome off showlang on // default spellcheck parameters autospc on showspc on // default filters translation to public avatar only others on me off objects off translators off avlist off // ==PUBLIC DEFAULT SETTINGS== // set public channel translator // will translate from your language into current foreign language // nobody will see your input sentence channel to-public 1 // ==PRIVATE TRANSLATE LANGUAGE "TO FOREIGN LANGUAGE"== // set private translate channel -> to foreign language channel to-fl 2 // == PRIVATE TRANSLATE LANGUAGE "TO MY LANGUAGE" == // set private translate channel -> to my language channel to-ml 3 // ==ACCENT LANGUAGE== // set default accent language to bork fa bork // set accent channel channel to-fa 4

F.A.Q.

Q:My Q-Translator stopped working
A:Contact Lalwende Leakey on IM, but you can also follow these instructions.
Wear the Q-Translator HUD.
Click right on it and select Edit
In Tools menu of Second Life Viewer you will find Reset Scripts in selection
If you want to resize your HUD to original size, type /8 size 5 on public channel.

Have fun! Use accent languages

You can use Q-Translator to chat with a fake accent. You can select an accent language with the last (red) button or the command /8 al [accent]: where [accent] is one of bork, pirate, oldenglish, daffy, elmer, morse, l33t or scrambler.

The channel into which you type, in order to display in the public chat with the fake accent, is called the to-al channel. This is defaulted to channel 4. For example:

/4 To be or not to be, that is the question; Whether it's nobler in the mind to suffer, The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing, end them.

This will display in public chat, according to the accent you selected:

Bork Bork

Default Second Life Viewer Settings

The fonts used to display non-latin characters are setup using with the "FontSansSerifFallback" parameter of your Second Life Viewer. The default value for this parameter is "MSGOTHIC.TTC;gulim.ttc;simhei.ttf;ArialUni.ttf"
This indicates to Second Life Windows Viewer what font are needed for showing non-latin characters : Ms Gothic (msgothic.ttc), Gulim (gullim.ttc), SimHei (simhei.ttf) & Arial Uni (arialuni.ttf) in that order.
Unfortunately three of these fonts (MS Gothic, Gulim, SimHei) are shiped with Windows but are not installed by default, and one font ArialUni is only shiped with Microsoft Office.

Installing Windows Support for East Asian Languages

Three fonts (MS Gothic, Gulim, SimHei) are included in any language versions of Windows XP and Vista as an optional component.

Ms Gothic is shiped to support Japanese characters
Gulim to support Korean characters
SimHei to support Chinese characters

Those fonts will also be useful with Bulgarin, Greek, Lithuanian, Latvian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian.

You can install them on US-English version of Windows XP by the following procedure:

Open Control Panel (of Windows).
Choose "Regional and Language Options".
Select "Language" tab.
On "Suplemental Language Support" panel, check the "Install files for East Asian Languages".
Click on Apply button.
(You may be prompted to insert a Windows installation CD-ROM at this point)
Restart the Windows as it suggests.

Once you setup this font you will need to restart Second Life to take effect.

2008-09-04T09:58:00.002+02:00

If you see non-latin characters as small square dots when you use Q-Translator read this paragraph. In fact this issue has nothing to do with Q-Translator but is related to the setup of Second Life Viewer on a Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista PC.

► 22 Languages don't need extra fonts settings
Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finish, French, Gallician, German, Haïtian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian, Protuguese, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog

Q-Translator (fr)

2008-09-04T09:00:00.014+02:00

Version actuelle 0.30

Q-Translator est le traducteur le plus puissant de Second Life.

Traduction rapide entre 41 langues dans les deux sens
Supporte: Albanais, Allemand, Anglais, Arabe, Bulgare, Catalan, Chinois, Coréen, Croate, Danois, Espagnol, Estonien, Finnois, Français, Galicien, Grec, Hindou, Hébreu, Hongrois, Indonésien, Italien, Japonais, Letton, Lituanien, Maltais, Norvégien, Néerlandais, Polonais, Portugais, Roumain, Russe, Serbe, Slovaque, Slovène, Suédois, Tagalog, Tchèque, Thaï, Turc, Ukrainien, Vietnamien.
Seul traducteur actuel a gérer correctement l'Hébreu et l'Arabe.
Rapide (Compilé sous Mono)

Détection automatiquement des langues (fonctions séparées pour vous même et les autres).

Correction orthographique automatique
Q-Translator inclut un correcteur orthographique. Celui-ci peut être utilisé pour corriger automatiquement vos propres messages mais aussi ceux des autres. En corrigeant les erreurs de frappe avant la traduction Q-Translator améliore nettement la traduction.
17 langues sont supportées: Catalan, Tchèque, Danois, Allemand, Anglais, Espagnol, Finnois, Français, Croate, Indonésien, Italien, Néerlandais, Norvégien, Polonais, Portugais, Roumain, Suédois.
Le correcteur orthographique peut aussi être utilisé indépendamment de la traduction dans votre langue natale.

Utilisable avec les IM
Pour l'instant les scripts LSL ne peuvent pas écouter directement les IM, et donc ne peuvent pas traduire des messages instantannés. Cependant Q-Translator fournit des canaux privés permettant de traduire en privé les IMs en utilisant le copier/coller. La solution qui n'est pas parfaite est la seule actuellement réalisable.

Reduit le spam

Ne traduit pas les messages déjà dans la langue cible,
Ne traduit pas les messages dont la traduction est identique à l'original,
Filtre de traduction,
Détection automatique des traducteurs.

Filtre de traduction
Les messages à traduire peuvent être filtrés sur les critères suivant:

Autres (traduction des messages des autres avatars),
Objets (traduction des messages émis par des objets),
Moi (traduction de vos messages),
Avatars en liste (traduction limité aux avatars listés),
Gestion de la liste des avatars par menu.

Détection automatique des autres traducteurs
Q-Translator détecte lorsqu'un message est émis par l'un des traducteurs suivants: Q-Translator, X-LANG, UT v10, AF, MH, MT, XIN, Simbolic. Vous pouvez activer ou non la traduction des messages émis par les autres traducteurs. Dans tous les cas le spam est fortement réduit. En effet, Q-Translator supprimera toutes les mises en forme réalisées par les traducteurs (indicateurs de langues) pour reconstituer le message, il sera en mesure de détecter la langue précisément et de traduire correctement le message.

Continue de fonctionner dans les zones no-script
Si vous attachez votre HUD dans une zone script et que vous vous déplacez dans une zone no-script le traducteur continuera de fonctionner. A présent l'interface du HUD fonctionne comme si vous étiez dans une zone script.

Dictionnaires Mono-Langue dans 9 langues: Allemand, Anglais, Chinois, Espagnol, Français, Italien, Néerlandais, Portugais, Russe.

Dictionnaires Multi-langues entre l'Anglais et 15 autres langues: Allemand, Bulgare, Chinois, Coréen, Croate, Espagnol, Finnois, Français, Grec, Hindo, Italien, Portugais, Russe, Serbe, Tchèque.

Comparaison actuelle des principaux traducteurs

Cette comparaison a été validée en accord avec Aligatorek Furse le créateur d'AF Translator

Choisissez votre HUD

Q-Translator est livré avec deux types de HUD différents:

Les version localisées: l'interface utilisateur est paramétrée pour utiliser une langue indépendante de celles utilisées pour la traduction. Treize versions localisées sont disponibles : Allemand, Anglais, Espagnol, Français, Italien, Japonais, Lithuanien, Néerlandais, Portuguais, Roumain, Russe, Slovaque et Tchèque. De préférence utilisez ces versions si votre langue natale est l'une de celles mentionnées.
Une version internationale: l'interface utilisateur dépend du choix de la langue natale qui est paramétrée. Pour le paramétrage de "Ma Langue", les noms de langues seront affichées en utilisant la langue natale: Allemand est Deutsch, Anglais est English, Espagnol est Español, etc.... Pour le paramétrage de la "Langue Etrangère" les noms des langues suivant la langue paramétrée pour ma "Ma Langue".

Portez votre HUD

Utilisez n'importe quel point d'attache

Vous pouvez attacher Q-Translator à n'importe quel point d'attache.
Ne perdez plus votre HUD! Q-Translator utilise un système automatique de positionnement du HUD par rapport aux bords du Viewer Second Life™. Pour l'attache en bas à droite un décalage spécifique est utilisé pour éviter d'être caché par la barre d'outils média. Les points d'attaches Centre & Centre2 peuvent être utilisés comme points centraux droite et gauche.
La position est préservée tant que vous n'utiliserez pas un autre point d'attache.

Redimensionner le HUD

Vous voulez diminuer le HUD pour maximiser votre vue du monde. Vous êtes malvoyant et au contraire nécessitez un HUD large. Il vous est possible de changer la taille par défaut du HUD Q-Translator pour celle qui vous conviendra en utilisant la commande size.


pour la taille la plus petite
/8 size 1 
pour la taille la plus grande
/8 size 10
vous pouvez utiliser n'importe quelle taille de 1 à 10

Minimiser le HUD

Une fois attaché vous pouvez minimiser Q-Translator en cliquant sur la flèche en haut à gauche. Pour rétablir l'interface utilisateur, cliquez sur l'onglet Q-Trans.

Les principes de traduction

Ma Langue / Langue étrangère

Vous aurez besoin de paramétrer deux langues principales qui seront utilisées pour les traductions.

La langue en bleu ((ml)) correspond à votre langue natale et sera utilisée comme langue cible pour traduire ce que les autres vont dire dans le chat public. Cliquez sur l'icône bleue pour la modifier.
La langue en rouge ((fl)) correspond à la langue étrangère et sera utilisée pour traduire ce que vous dites en chat public. Cliquez sur l'icône rouge pour la modifier. Dans les deux cas une fenêtre s'affichera vous permettant de choisir parmi les 41 langues disponibles.

Q-Translator utilise les icones de la norme ISO 639 pour afficher les langues.

Les différents mode de traduction en détail

Q-Translator traduira en utilisant cinq méthodes différentes.

Pour le chat public:

Ce qui est dit par les avatars et les objets en chat public (quelque soit la langue qu'ils utilisent Q-Translator détectera automatiquement la langue source) sera traduit dans votre langue ((ml)) (les résultats seront privés et seul vous verrez la traduction)
Tout ce que vous dites en chat public sera traduit dans la langue étrangère choisie ((fl)) (la traduction sera affichée en public comme la phrase originale)
Pour un usage public, tout ce que vous direz dans le canal paramétrable "to-public" (/1 par défaut) sera traduit vers la langue étrangère ((fl)). La traduction sera publique, mais avec cette option le message original restera caché.

Pour les IM:
Actuellement il est impossible pour un script d'écouter ce qui est dit en IM, en conséquence un système ne peut pas automatiser la traduction des messages IM. Cependant vous pourrez utiliser les canaux privés dédiés et copier/coller les messages entre vos IM et ces canaux pour résoudre cette situation. Voir le chapitre Utilisation de Q-Translator pour les IM. La traduction résultante sera privée et uniquement visible par vous.

Détection automatique des langues

Pendant la traduction, Q-Translator peut automatiquement détecter la langue d'un message. Les deux boutons Auto lang permettent d'activer/désactiver cette détection. Si Auto Lang est désactivé la langue source par défaut qui sera utilisée pour la traduction de vos messages sera ((ml)) et ((fl)) pour tous les autres messages.

Suivant la situation les deux options peuvent être utiles:

A moins que vous n'utilisiez plusieurs langues, il est mieux de désactiver la détection automatique des langues pour vous même (Moi).
Lorsque vous êtes dans un lieu où de nombreuses langues différentes sont utilisées, l'activation d'Auto lang pour les Autres est le meilleur choix. Mais comme tout traitement automatique sur les langues, des erreurs peuvent commises pendant la détection de la langue, notamment pour les phrases ne comportant qu'un seul mot ou les idiomes.
Lorsque les personnes près de vous n'utilisent qu'une seule langue étrangère, par exemple l'Anglais, désactiver l'Auto Lang pour les Autres peut donner de meilleurs résultats.

Affichage des langues source et cible

Vous pouvez utiliser le bouton Affichage Langues pour afficher/cacher les langues source et cible utilisées par Q-Translator. Lorsque la fonction d'affichage est active, une entête de ce type sera ajoutée à votre traduction (en->fr)

Correcteur Orthographique

Q-Translator dispose d'un correcteur orthographique qui peut être activé pendant la traduction.

La correction automatique est une fonctionnalité majeure! de Q-Translator. Prenons un exemple pour illustrer son importance.
Paramétrez les langues ((fr)) en Français et ((en)) en Anglais.

Essayez de traduire en Anglais cette horrible phrase :
Désactivez Auto Lang et le correcteur
/2 cci est un tst avec pllein d'ereurs

Sans le correcteur orthographique (ce que les autres traducteurs de Second Life afficheront)
cci is a tst with pllein of ereurs

En utilisant le correcteur orthographique de Q-Translator
This is a test with a lot of errors

Utilisation du correcteur orthographique sans traduction

Vous pouvez utiliser le correcteur orthographique sans traduction en paramétrant la langue ((fl)) de manière identique à la langue ((ml)).

Affichage de la correction

Vous pouvez utiliser le bouton Affichage correction pour afficher/cacher les corrections réalisées par Q-Spellcheck. Lorsque la fonction d'affichage est activée, si une correction est effectuée par le correcteur orthographique un message additionnel sera affiché du type "Q- SpellCheck: ....

Commandes du correcteur orthographique

Vous pouvez aussi utiliser le correcteur orthographie avec la commande chat spellcheck ou le raccourci s.

Effectue la correction orthographique de la phrase en utilisant:
/8 sml [phrase] la langue définie pour ((ml))
/8 sfl [phrase] la langue définie pour ((fl))
/8 sen [phrase] l'Anglais (English)
/8 sfr [phrase] le Français
/8 s[langid] phrase la langue définie par l'identifiant langid

N'utilisez pas d'espace entre le nom de la commande et l'identifiant de langue.
Consultez la liste des identifiants de langues disponibles.

Filtres des traductions

Les filtres de traduction permettent de limiter les traductions réalisées en fonction d'un certain nombre de critères.

Autres / Moi / Objets / Avatars List

Q-Translator écoute le chat public et traduira en fonction des filtres que vous aurez défini. Quatre filtres sont disponibles: Public / Moi / Objets / Avatars en Liste

Q-Translator traduira ou non ce que disent les autres avatars en chat public
Q-Translator traduira tout ou non ce que vous dites
Q-Translator traduira ou non tous les messages émis par les objets
Q-Translator traduira ou non uniquement les messages provenant des avatars présents dans votre liste personnelle

NB: Les filtres Public et Avatar en liste ne peuvent pas être sélectionnés en même temps.

Gestion de la liste personnelle des avatars

Utilisez le bouton Ajouter pour ajouter un avatar dans votre liste personnelle
Utilisez le bouton Supprimer pour enlever un avatar de votre liste personnelle ou purger complètement la liste

Contrôler la méthode de sortie chat

Par défaut Q-Translator utilisera la méthode "Dire" lorsqu'il traduira ce que vous dites. Mais vous pouvez contrôler la méthode de sortie chat et choisir entre les options suivantes: Privé / Murmurer / Dire / Crier. Cliquez sur le micro dans la partie supérieure du HUD.

La méthode privé peut être utilie pour apprendre une nouvelle langue. Vous pouvez parler votre langue natale tout en portant Q-Translator mais les traductions ne seront visibles que par vous, vous n'ennuyerez donc personne en chat public.
Murmurer peut être utile pour réduire le spam. Dire est la méthode normale, et Crier peut être utilisé si vous souhaitez porter votre voix.

Utilisation de Q-Translator pour les IM

Pour l'instant les scripts LSL ne peuvent pas écouter directement les IM, et donc ne peuvent pas traduire des messages instantannés. Cependant Q-Translator fournit des canaux privés permettant de traduire en privé les IMs en utilisant le copier/coller. La solution n'est pas parfaite mais la seule actuellement réalisable.

Prenons un exemple pour illustrer l'utilisation des canaux privés.

Un exemple avec IM

Votre ami J0 parle l'Anglais et vous parlez le Français. Votre Q-Translator est paramétré ainsi: Français comme "Ma Langue" ((fr)) et l'Anglais comme "Langue Etrangère"((en)).

Vous recevez un IM de J0
J0:Hi, how are you today ?

Vous devrez effectuer les manipulations suivantes:
Sélectionnez ce message "Hi, how are you today" dans la fenêtre IM,
Le copier dans le presse papier en utilisant la combinaison de touches [Ctrl + C],
Tapez la commande "/3" dans le chat public
Et coller le message à la suite en utilisant la combinaison de touches [Ctrl + V]

/3Hi, how are you today ?

Cette commande est strictement privée, seul vous verrez la traduction.
Q-Translator (en->fr): Salut, comment vas-tu aujourd'hui?

Maintenant vous souhaitez répondre en utilisant votre langue natale
Taper :
/2Très bien et toi? J'utilise mon nouveau traducteur en ce moment ...

La traduction s'affichera
Q-Translator (en->fr): Very good and you? I use my new translator at this time ...

Sélectionnee le message "Very good and you? I use my new translator at this time ..."
Copier le en utilisant la combinaison de touche [Ctrl + C]
Et coller le message dans votre fenêtre IM.

Forcer les langues par défaut

Lorsque vous utilisez les canaux privés vous pouvez forcer une langue différente que celle utilisée par défaut en utilisant le paramètre "!" suivi de l'identifiant de la langue. Voir la liste des identifiants de langues.

Par exemple si la langue par défaut ((en)) est l'anglais et que vous tapez:
/2 !de Ceci est un test en Allemand

La phrase "Ceci est un test en Allemand" sera traduite en Allemand plutôt qu'en Anglais.
Q-Translator (en->de): Dies ist ein Test in Deutsch

NB: En utilisant // dans le chat, le viewer Second Life Viewer réutilise le dernier canal que vous avez utilisé. Cela peut être un moyen plus rapide d'utiliser les canaux privés.

Qualité versus Rapidité

En fonction des options que vous utilisez pour "Auto Lang" et la correction orthographique automatique le nombre de requêtes nécessaire pour la traduction d'une phrase diffèrera. Voir le tableau ci-dessous.

Auto Lang (Off) / Auto Spellcheck (Off)	1 requête: traduction
Auto Lang (On) / Auto Spellcheck (Off)	1 requête: traduction
Auto Lang (Off) / Auto Spellcheck (On)	2 requête: correction orthographique -> traduction
Auto Lang (On) / Auto Spellcheck (On)	3 requêtes: détection -> correction automatique -> traduction

Utilisation des dictionnaires

Q-Translator inclut des dictionnaires Mono-Langue pour 9 langues: Allemand, Anglais, Chinois, Espagnol, Français, Italien, Néerlandais, Portugais, Russe ; ainsi que des dictionnaires Multi-langues entre l'Anglais et 15 autres langues: Allemand, Bulgare, Chinois, Coréen, Croate, Espagnol, Finnois, Français, Grec, Hindo, Italien, Portugais, Russe, Serbe, Tchèque.

Les dictionnaires peuvent être utilisés uniquement avec les commandes chat.

Comment paramétrer les fontes avec le viewer Second Life

F.A.Q.

Q:J'utilise le chinois, le coréen ou le japonais, tout ce que je peux voir ce sont des points à l'écran.
A:Second Life Viewer utilise des fontes spéciales de Windows pour afficher les caractères Chinois, Japonais et Coréen. Ces fontes ne sont pas installées par défaut. Vous trouverez ci-dessous des instructions sommaires pour les installer.

Ouvrir le Panneau de Configuration de Windows
Choisissez "Options régionales et linguistiques"
Selectionnez l'onglet "Langues"
On "Prises en charge de langues supplémentaires", cochez la case "Installez le fichiers pour les langues d'Extrême Orient".
Cliquez sur le bouton "Appliquer"
(Vous pouvez être obligé d'insérer le CD d'installation de Windows à ce niveau)
Rédemarrez Windows comme conseillé.

Non-Latin characters such as Japanese Kanji or Korean Hangul appear as dots

Modifier la notecard .ini

Vous pouvez modifier le paramétrage par défaut de votre Q-Translator en modifiant la notecard ".ini" que vous trouverez dans le contenu de Q-Translator.

Une fois que vous avez fini de modifier la notecard, sauvegardez la, Q-Translator détectera les modifications, vous n'avez pas besoins de réinitiliser Q-Translator pour les script prennent en compte les modifications.

Here is the .ini notecard shipped with your item:

// ==COMMAND CHANNEL== // set command channel channel command 8 // default languages // set default ML "My Language" to English ml en // set default FL "Foreign Language" to French fl fr // default translator parameters autoothers on autome off showlang on // default spellcheck parameters autospc on showspc on // default filters translation to public avatar only others on me off objects off translators off avlist off // ==PUBLIC DEFAULT SETTINGS== // set public channel translator // will translate from your language into current foreign language // nobody will see your input sentence channel to-public 1 // ==PRIVATE TRANSLATE LANGUAGE "TO FOREIGN LANGUAGE"== // set private translate channel -> to foreign language channel to-fl 2 // == PRIVATE TRANSLATE LANGUAGE "TO MY LANGUAGE" == // set private translate channel -> to my language channel to-ml 3 // ==ACCENT LANGUAGE== // set default accent language to bork fa bork // set accent channel channel to-fa 4

Q:Q-Translator s'est arrêté de fonctionner
R:Contactez directement Lalwende Leakey en IM, mais vous pouvez aussi suivre ces instructions.
Attachez le HUD Q-Translator
Cliquez à droite et sélectionnez Edit dans le menu circulaire
Dans le menu "Tools" du Viewer Second Life vous trouverez Reset Scripts in selection
Une fois la réinitialisation effectuée vous devrez utiliser la commande /8 size 5 pour redimensionner le HUD à sa taille originale.

Pour le fun! Utilisez les langues accentuées

Vous pouvez utiliser Q-Translator pour parler avec des langues accentuées. Choisissez la langue accentué avec le dernier bouton rouge du HUD ou la commande /8 ac.

Pour parler avec la langue accentuée, utilisez le canal 4.

Video Tutorial 2

2008-06-27T17:02:00.033+02:00

This is second part of video tutorial. In first part we have prepared the SL Viewer for Capture Video, i will now show you how to capture the video. There are plenty software for doing video screen capture. See wiki article Recording Movies

I've tested and compared the Windows freeware applications referenced there :
Taksi
CamStudio
WeGame
plus
VirtualDUB

There are many way to compare these software, but to achieve better quality in your video the capturing average framerate is the most important factor during video capture. Your target video framerate will be 25 fps for PAL, 29.97 for NTSC. Anyhow you wont reach such high framerate within Second Life, but having a recording framerate higher than in world drawing framerate will smooth your video.

I the way to compare I've used the following technical environment for testing :
Dell Latitude D810 1Go RAM
Pentium 1.73 Ghz
ATI Mobility Radeon X600 (128Mo)
HD 7200 rpm
OpenSIM server 0.5.5 (best way not having inworld issue effect on testing)
SL Viewer 1.19

By far I've reached better result with VirtualDUB (11 FPS) using no codec. CamStudio (7 FPS), Taksi (4 FPS), WeGame (No information). Thus i mostly use VirtualDUB although CamStudio has nice features not available with VirutalDUB (as mouse highlighting and Screen Annotations).

Capturing Video Using VirtualDUB

VirtualDub is video capture and video editing software for Microsoft Windows. As you will see VirtualDUB is full of options and might be a lil bit complicated to understand. But none of freeware applications has such versatility.

Setting up VirtualDUB

As SL Viewer is a very high CPU consuming program you will produce better quality video while capturing with raw images with no compression than using lossless codec like CAM Studio. But doing that way you will a very fast HD (with DMA), capturing 788x576 frames will need around 27.23 MB/s capacity.

Open VirtualDUB and select File / Capture AVI... command

?Set capture Filename using File / Set capture file... (F2)
Choose internal harddisk (not external on USB)
Use any name you wish let's say capture1.avi for instance.

? In Capture menu enable both :
Hide display on capture
Autoincrement filename after capture

? In Device menu select Screen Capture

? In Video menu / Select Source
Use fixed offset X:0 Y:0
Check Capture mouse pointer image for a SL Tutorial
Depending of your capture scenario use following values:

	All	MTAV	TAV	AV	3D
Panning Area	Window	Client Area	Client Area	Client Are	Client Area

? In Video Menu / Crop
Depending of your capture scenario use following values:

	All	MTAV	TAV	AV	3D
Capture Area Width	788	788	788	788	788
Capture Area Height	576	576	599	628	652

? In Video / Crop Menu
Depending of your capture scenario use following values:

	All	MTAV	TAV	AV	3D
X1 Offset	0	0	0	0	0
X2 Offset	0	0	0	0	0
Y1 Offset	0	0	23	23	23
Y2 Offset	0	0	0	29	53

? In Video / Capture... (C)
We wont use any codec while capturing. Select (Uncompressed RGB/YCbCr)

? In Capture / Settings... (F9)
As you wont reach 25 FPS using Second Life environment i use a lower framerate.
Set framerate (15) and round to nearest millisecond (14.9253)

? In Capture / Preferences... (F10)
Setup hotkeys you wish for starting/stopping video capture. I use [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F6] and [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F6] as it doesnt interfere with SL standard hotkeys.

Capturing Video

Now you are ready to capture your SL session. Launch SL Viewer, select appropriate Windows Size help to Sizer, use Start/Stop hotkeys for capturing. VirtualDUB will create autoincrement avi files.

Encode your video using VirtualDUB and ffdshow

As we use no Codec during video capture, video capturing files are not ready for being used into Video Editing Software.

ffdshow is a media decoder and encoder supporting numerous video and audio formats. It is free software released under the GPL license, runs on Windows and is implemented as a DirectShow and VFW decoding filter.

Download and setup ffdshow from ffdshow tryouts

Lauch second session of VirtualDUB and open your video capturing file.

? In Video / Frame Rate... (Ctrl+R)
Change frame rate to PAL compatible value : 25fps.

? In Video / Compression... (Ctrl+P)
Select ffdshow Video Codec

Select configure command
Ensure MPEG into AVI is setup in Decoder tab.

Adjust Coder paramaters into Encoder tab.
I personnaly use MPEG-2 4CC:MPEG Mode: 2 passes

Save your file usinf File /Save File... (F7)
Test the encoded video file with Windows Media Player or whatever media player you use.

Video Tutorial 1

2008-06-25T00:14:00.029+02:00

This is first part of tutorial to help you capturing, editing, creating DVD from your Second Life session using mostly freeware and open source software.

Video Format

I won't go into deepest information about Video format, i suggest to read the excellent article of Chris Pirazzi Programmer's Guide to Video Systems. But take time to have a coffee before !!

In short for having a full quality video recording for a DVD PAL you will need to capture your video in 788x576 format (4:3 Square-Pixel) ; notice correct ratio should be 576x4/3 = 768; rescale it to 720x576 (4:3 Non-Square-Pixel) during the last MPEG2 coding of your DVD. However after all of this you will only see 702x576 pixels on your TV Screen. 788/768/720/702 : What for this hell ?

What size is a television picture ?

There are 576 active lines in a television picture (625 lines system). A 4:3 image would therefore be: 576 x 4/3 = 768 pixels wide.

However this assumes the pixels are square - but television pixels are not square (due, in part to the allocated bandwidth and Kell factors etc. ). They have an aspect ratio of approximately 1:1.094. A 4:3 television picture would therefore be: 768/1.094 = 702 non-square pixels wide

In the days of analogue television, the active part of a television line occupied approx 52 µs. When they came to digitize television, a sampling frequency of 13.5 MHz was the agreed compromise. If you multiply 52 µs x 13,5 MHz you get 702 samples per scan line. So a 4:3 television image is 702 pixels wide by 576 high.

The digital TV standard (originally known as REC 601) allocated 720 pixels per total line length. Digital pictures are effectively wider than analogue pictures by 18 pixels but the 4:3 image sits inside the 720 by 576 area. The additional 18 pixels are required for digital processing and it would be perfectly acceptable to leave them black - but if the image is shrunk via a digital DVE (Digital Video Effects), two 9 pixel wide black stripes will be seen at the sides.

These 18 pixels are of course not square, converting them to square pixels gives:
18 x 1.094 = 20 square pixels.

When making a 4:3 graphic on a square pixel device for conversion to a 720x576 (non square pixel) video image, the width of the 768x576 (square pixel) image must then be increased to:
768 + 20 = 788 square pixels.

Thus correct size of video capturing for a DVD PAL purpose is thus 788x576.

Windows Resizing

For having a precise capture of your Second Life session you will need to resize very precisely your Second Life viewer. Sizer tool of Brian Apps is the perfect tool to use.

If you size your Seconf Life Viewer to DVD PAL Capture Video Size 788x576, you will capture entire windows (Windows Frame, SL Menu and SL Toolbar). You may have situation you wanted to remove part of those elements from your capture (or not). You can also hide UI using Alt-F1 short keys of the viewer. To simplify everything custom arrangement of Windows UI have effect on Windows Frame Width & Height, Title Height of Non Client area.

Without any customization of Windows Default parameters, your SL Viewer will use the following dimensions:

Windows Frame Width 4 px

Windows Frame Height 4 px

Windows Title Height 30 px

SL Menu Height (18 px) + Shadow (5px) 23px

SL Toolbar Height 29 px

SL Audio Video Toolbar Height 24 px

Depending of your Video Capture needs (and for having a perfect capture windows of 788x576) you will have to resize your SL Viewer Windows with dimensions (Height & Width) specified bellow:

1 - Capturing All Interface 788x576

2 - Capturing SL Viewer MTAV (Menu + Toolbar + Audio Video Toolbar) without Windows UI 796x610. This scenario can be also used to capture 3D only when using [Ctrl] [Alt] [F1] Shortcut (Hide SL User Interface).

3 - Capturing SL Viewer TAV (Toolbar + Audio Video) without Windows UI 796x633

4 - Capturing SL Viewer AV (Audio Video) without Windows UI 796x662

5 - Capturing SL Viewer 3D without Windows UI 796x686

	All	MTAV*	TAV	AV	3D
Windows Width	788	796	796	796	796
Windows Height	576	610	633	662	686
X1 Offset	0	4	4	4	4
X2 Offset	0	4	4	4	4
Y1 Offset	0	35	53	53	53
Y2 Offset	0	4	4	33	57

* Or 3D with Ctrl-Alt F1 shorcut

We will use later the Offset values into parameters of capturing video software.

SkyBox Rezzer

2008-06-23T17:05:00.014+02:00

Greetings you have in your hand one of the most sophisticated SkyBoxes available on Second Life.

Free Edition

Where to begin

For using your SkyBox Rezzer just rez it on the floor and click on it. It is as simple! Default action associated to the SkyBox Rezzer is to sit on it.

In this help a clear distinction will be made between the SkyBox rezzer (the item present in your inventory) and the SkyBox itself, which is made of six variable sized panels.

Choose a Destination

When you sit on your SkyBox Rezzer, the following dialog will popup:

Choose a destination among the seven ones proposed, and you will be instantanly teleported to the selected height. If you choose a destination below the current ground height, you will be warned and it won't operate.

Watch out, if your camera still focus on floor be aware to restore default focus using the Esc-key.

If the default height does not suit your needs, you may choose a custom one using the "Height..." command of the menu.

Verify actual place is well suited

Once you have been teleported to the sky, following menu will popup:

The first step before rezzing-up the SkyBox, is to verify it will not interfere with other buildings next to your current position. You may use the "Look Around" command to make move your camera all around you scrolling from down to up.

If your current position does not suit you may choose another one using the "Move..." command to select an other height (see choose a destination).

When you are at the right location, build your SkyBox :
The SkyBox Rezzer is delivered with three sizes :

10m using 6 prims
20m using 6 prims
30m using 54 prims

You can build an entire SkyBox or just the floor. Your choice might depend on what kind of work you would like to do.

Importer des textures depuis des boites modify sans avoir à passer par l’inventaire en utilisant un script fourni,
Nommer les dossiers,
Déplacer facilement une seule texture ou l’ensemble des texture d’une dossier vers un autre,
Supprimer une texture ou le contenu d’une dossier,
Supprimer les doublons (de deux manières différentes, imprécis et rapide ou précis et plus lent).

Le TO permet d’afficher :

Jusqu’à 25 textures à la fois,
En mode normal, magnifié ou vignette,
Un mode sculptie pour visualiser les sculpties en volume,
Recherche les textures par leur nom, complet ou partiel, ou par leur créateur.

5) Au message "Do you want to move textures into selected folder", confirmez le transfert.
• Le pourcentage d'avancement du déplacement s'affiche au dessus du dossier source.
• Le TO repasse automatiquement en mode Parcourir sur le dossier cible.

Supprimer les textures

Mode de suppression Rem Safe

Le TO dispose d'une protection contre la perte involontaire des textures. Au lieu de simplement supprimer vos textures, une copie de secours des textures que vous supprimez du TO est copiée systématiquement dans votre inventaire. Ce mode est installé par défaut.
• Pour le désactiver, dans le chat saisissez : /1 remsafe off
• Pour le réactiver, dans le chat, saisissez : /1 remsafe on

Supprimer manuellement les textures

1) Cliquez sur le bouton Supprimer .
2) Au choix cliquez sur une texture ou sur un dossier.
3) Si vous supprimez le contenu d'un dossier, confirmez la suppression au message Do you really want to remove all textures from the selected folder ?.

4) Si vous utilisez le mode Rem Sage acceptez ou non de recevoir une copie de la (ou des) texture(s) dans votre inventaire.

Supprimer les doublons

Le TO supprime les doublons en se basant sur leur clé UUID. Vous pouvez effectuer cette suppression de deux manières :

Simple et rapide
Pour supprimer les doublons ayant la même clé UUID et le même nom :
1) Dans le chat, saisissez . /1 remdup
2) Si vous utilisez le mode RemSafe acceptez ou non de recevoir une copie dans votre inventaire des textures qui vont être supprimées du TO.

Complexe
Pour supprimer les doublons ayant la même clé UUID et ce, quel que soit le nom de la texture:
1) Dans le chat, saisissez . /1 remdup precise
2) Si vous utilisez le mode RemSafe acceptez ou non de recevoir une copie dans votre inventaire des textures qui vont être supprimées du TO.
3) Au dela de 1000 textures par dossier ce mode peut prendre un temps très important

Dans le chat vous recevez des messages équivalent à cet exemple :

Algorithme de suppression des doublons

Si vous avez un dossier avec N textures.
L'algorithme précis de suppression des textures en doublon nécessitera N*(N-1)/2 tests.
Pour un dossier de 100 textures cela signifie 5050 test, un dossier de 1000 textures 500500 tests, un dossier de 5000 textures 12502500 tests.
Cette algorithme détectera toutes les textures en doublon, même si les textures ont des noms complètement différent.

Le plus rapide est de partir du principe que les textures en doublons auront des noms proches comme "wood thing", "wood thing 1" et "wood thing 2".
L'algorithme imprécis ne nécessite que N-1 tests, mais il ne sera pas en mesure de détecter des doublons de texture avec des noms différents comme "wood chestnut" et "chestnut wood"

For a 100 textures folder needs 99 tests, for 1K folder 9999 tests, for a 5K needs 4999 tests
Par exemple vous nécessiterez de 34 heures pour vérifier un dossier de 5000 textures avec l'algorithme précis mais seulement de 50 sec avec l'imprécis.

Use it on ground or wear it as HUD

Texture Organizer can be either rezzed on ground or be worn as a HUD. Anyhow you will use, it will autoresize to fit.

Rezzed on ground
You can attach Texture Organizer on any HUD attachment point. It reminds its position until you use another attachment point.

Using Texture Organizer as HUD prevents consuming prim on SIM, thus it might be the best choice for most use. Rezzing Texture Organizer on ground might be needed if you want to share the devices with others while building.

Worn as HUD
When used as HUD you can minimized Texture Organizer while clicking on upper right black square. To restore to standard user interface click on that box again.

Texture Organizer Interface

Texture Organize has three parts: on left side ten buttons that give access to most features, on bottom 50 folders containing unlimited number of textures, on top a panel of 25 thumbnails for viewing the textures.

Resize your Texture Organizer

Adding textures to Texture Organizer folders

Well you probably in hurry to use your Texture Organizer with your own textures. First thing I would advice is to copy the empty Texture Organizer that is shiped in the pack and rename it to whatever is suited. Once done wear your copy as HUD.

Edit Texture Organizer. Be sure to have selected the "Edit Linked Parts" checkbox. When done select one of the empty folder (on bottom of your Texture Organizer when worn as HUD). Select "Contents" panel. Open your inventory and simply drag your textures (not the folder it won't work) from your inventory into the folder prim. Nothing else is needed.

You can directly browse the new added textures.

You can also use a shortcut to directly drag textures from inventory into Texture Organizer folder, while holding [Ctrl] key and draging textures from inventory directly into folder. (You don't need to edit Texture Organizer at all).

Browsing through textures folders

For browsing through textures select the "Browse" button.

Click on a texture folder, for example the Green Medium. Texture Organizer show you on top blue bar some information on current selected folder : "[10] Chromatic Green 2 Medium (36)".

[10] is the number of folder,
Chromatic Green 2 Medium is the name of folder,
(36) is the number of textures into that folder.

If you click on a thumbnail Texture Organize shows name and UUID of selected texture. "Chromatic Green 2 Medium: Green Dramatic Moments - bb1f6767-fc73-dc76-31c9-b53c3afdd011
"

If current bank contents more than 25 textures you can browse using the previous and next buttons.

Magnify & Tile

For magnify a texture use the "Magnify" button. When you will click a texture it will magnify using the 25 thumbnails. Click once again on any thumbnail to get back to previous view.

For tiling a texture use the "Tile" button. When you will click a texture it will tile it using the 25 thumbnails, click once again on any thumbnail to get back to previous view.

Searching through Textures

You can search within the current selected folder three ways:

/1= <term> to search texture with matching name
/1! <term> to exclude texture with matching name
/1c <term> to search by creator of texture

/1= will clear all active filter.

Select folder 43 and type on local chat /1= denim.

You will see the five Denim textures.

Type now /1! denim

You will see all but the five Denim textures.

Counting the textures

How to apply a texture

You can use Texture Organizer for applying textures directly to your prims. When using the "Pick Texture" Dialog select the "pipette" tool and pick the wanted texture currently drawn in one of the thumbnails. Due to a limitation of Second Life TM texture need to be into your inventory before using this feature. (See following chapter for uploading textures into your inventory).

Apply texture using SmartPrim

If you use SmartPrim you wont need any textures into your inventory. Click on the SmartPrim icon, a white cube will rez 2 meters upon you head. Click on any face this will turn the face into yellow.

If you click on any texture it will be applied to all current "yellow" faces of all smartprim rezzed.

To select all faces of smartprim double click on any face.

If you select another texture this one will be applied now to all faces.

Once you apply all textures to all faces you can remove Smarprim script with command /1 spdone.

Uploading to inventory

If you want to upload textures into your inventory select the Give button just below the browse button.

You can upload either :

one specific texture,
one specific folder,
all textures of your Texture Organizer.

The icon next to Give indicates the target that will be used when copying textures. It can be yourself (your inventory), another Texture Organizer or a Sharebox.

	Avatar Face means the target is yourself (textures will be uploaded to your inventory)
	The TO icon means target is another Texture Organizer (textures will be copied to another Texture Organizer)
	The "ShareBox" icon means current target is a ShareBox (textures will be copied into the ShareBox)
	The "synchronise" icon means your Texture Organizer is receiving textures from either another Texture Organizer or a Box using "Import Textures" script

Uploading a texture

Now click on any texture you wanted. A dialog will popup to accept inventory offer. Click on "Keep" button.

The previous selected texture is now into your inventory.

Uploading a folder

If you want to upload an entire folder you can click on folder. For example click on "Chromatic Multi-Colors 4 Rainbow: (13)" folder. As previously a dialog will popup to accept inventory offer.

Open your inventory you will found the textures into the following folder "::iol:: Chromatic Multi-Colors 4 Rainbow (13)".

Uploading all folders

You can also uploading all folders at once while clicking the upper blue bar.

PS:Don't forget to click back on "Browse" button when ok.

Name of folders

You can easily setup name of folders while modifying the .folders notecard within your Texture Organizer and type /1 ren on public channel to apply.

.folders Notecard is defined as following:

on line for each folder using semicolon separated fields: [folder number];[folder name]
first line is used to setup the prefix that will be used when creating folder into inventory

.folders Example Notecard
0;::iol::
1;Chromatic Red 1 Dark
2;Chromatic Red 2 Medium
3;Chromatic Red 3 Orange
4;Chromatic Red 4 Yellow
5;Chromatic Red 5 Peach
6;Chromatic Pink 1 Dark
7;Chromatic Pink 2 Medium
8;Chromatic Pink 3 Light
9;Chromatic Green 1 Dark
...

Folder 1 will show Chromatic Red 1 Dark within Texture Organizer UI. If Uploaded the folder will be named "::iol:: Chromatic Red 1 Dark".

Moving all textures from one folder to another one

If you want to move all textures from on folder to another one. First select the source folder with "Browse command", click next the "Move All" button just below the "Give Inventory" button.

Now click to the desired target folder. A dialog will popup to accept move of textures from source to target folder. Click on "Yes" button to proceed.

Now click black to "Browse" button and select the Target folder once again. You will see the textures has been transfered.

Moving one texture from a folder to another one

If you want to move all textures from on folder to another one. First select the source folder with "Browse command", click next the "Move Texture" button just below the "Move All" button.

Now click to the desired target folder. It will glow in yellow.
Now any texture you will click on will be transfered from source to target folder. Let's try with clicking to some textures.

Now click black to "Browse" button and select the Target folder once again. You will see the previous clicked textures has been transfered.

Removing Textures

Manually remove textures

You can remove textures from your Texture Organizer using the 'Remove' button. By default Texture Organizer is using a remove safe state. To prevent lost of textures due to mistake, any textures will be upload to your inventory before beeing removede. If everything is ok you can then remove from inventory. If you made mistake you can still recover from inventory.

Automatic remove duplicate textures

Texture Organizer can find out duplicate textures in any of your folders and remove them. To have a test upload some texture of any folder and put them back into same folder as described in chapter Customize the textures folders.

There are two ways to remove duplicate textures, one is precise but need many tests, one is unprecise but need a lot less.
In both case it only delete texture with same uuid whatever their names are.

If you get a folder with N textures
The precise algorithm needs N*(N-1)/2 test
For a 100 textures folder means 5050 tests, for 1K folder means 500500 tests, for a 5K means 12502500 tests.
But it detect all duplicates, if two textures have same key but have a very different name then precise will detect

The quicker way is to assume duplicates have same name like "wood thing", "wood thing 1" and "wood thing 2"
The unprecise algorithm needs only N-1 test, but it will miss textures with same uuid and named very differently like "wood chestnut" and "chestnut wood"
For a 100 textures folder needs 99 tests, for 1K folder 9999 tests, for a 5K needs 4999 tests

For instance If you can test 100 uuid pair in a sec you will need 34 hours for a 5K with precise algorithm but only 50 sec with unprecise one.

Now the remdup is shiped with option

/1 remdup near (default)
/1 remdup precise

Type /1 remdup on public channel.
You will see that Texture Organizer will recognize all the textures that has been duplicated and will remove them.

Texture Organizer will warn something like this.


Texture Organizer v0.8 - Fabric & Chromatic (1180): Remove Duplicate: Scanning of Fabric Fur done, [44/50]
Chromatic Red 1 Dark: Remove texture Red Noctua Lavoid 1
Texture Organizer v0.8 - Fabric & Chromatic (1180): Remove Duplicate: Scanning of Fabric Geometric done, [45/50]
Chromatic Red 1 Dark: Remove texture Red Kerstin Velvet 2 1
Chromatic Red 1 Dark: Remove texture petalos02.jpg 1
Texture Organizer v0.8 - Fabric & Chromatic (1180): Remove Duplicate: Scanning of Chromatic Red 1 Dark done, 4textures has been removed [46/50]
Texture Organizer v0.8 - Fabric & Chromatic (1180): Remove Duplicate: Scanning of Chromatic Multi-Colors 1 Misc done, [47/50]
Texture Organizer v0.8 - Fabric & Chromatic (1180): Remove Duplicate: Scanning of Fabric Stripes done, [48/50]
...
Texture Organizer v0.8 - Fabric & Chromatic (1180): Remove Duplicate: All scanning done, 4 textures has been removed

Change remove safe state

You can disable the 'remove safe' state. If disabled the textures wont be uploaded during the remove operations.

For changing 'remove safe' state. Type on public channel either /1 remsafe off to disable or /1 remsafe on to enable.

Working with sculpties textures

TO offers two differents ways to work with textures:

a buildin visualization mode for using textures
smartprim a way to create sculpties prims directly from your TO

Sculpties Visualization Mode

The best way to use Texture Organizer with sculpties textures is to sort them into specific folders. Once you will set your folders with your sculpties textures you can use the "Sculpties" visualization mode.

For testing purpose folder 50 has been filled up with 69 sculpties textures. Select the sculpties folder and select "Sculpties" (Tthe yellow five branches star icon below Tile). Thumbnails will be replaced with sculpties prims. You will notice this mode works either when your TO is rezzed into world or worn as HUD.

Smart Prim

You can also directly create your sculpties prims using SmartPrim feature. Click on the SmartPrim icon, a white cube will rez 2 meters upon you head. Click on any facce and this prim will use that texture as "Sculptie".

Sharing Textures between two Texture Organizer

You can share your textures with friends very easily with Texture Organizer. Last button show current target of giving operations. By default avatar icon advices the target is you.

If you click on that button and a friend near to you also worn a Texture Organizer, both will begin an exchange protocol. The one who initiated the protocol will be the sender, the one accepting the exchange will be the receiver.

You can next send either:

a single texture,
an entire folder,
even all textures in one operation

Initializing communication between Textures Organizers

To test the protocol exchange make a copy of Empty Texture Organizer and wear it to another attachment point (let's say top left). You should have two Texture Organizer on screen, on right side Fabric & Chromatic, on left side Empty.

Click on "Exchange" button of "Fabric & Chromatic", "Empty" will warn another Texture Organizer is initiating a exchange session Do you accept receiving textures from. Accept.

You will notice icons on both Texture Organizer will change, on "Fabric & Chromatic" a "Texture Organizer" icon indicates current receiver is another Texture Organizer. On "Empty" an sychronize icon indicates you will receive textures.

Give a single texture

Now on "Fabric & Chromatic" Texture Organizer click on any folder and select the "Give button". If you click on any texture, instead of uploading it into your inventory this texture is send to the current selected folder of the target Texture Organizer.

Give a folder

To give a folder click on any folder.

Receiver will warn "To receive the [x] textures given by [Friend], click Yes and select target folder. Accept and select target folder, all textures will be copied into it.

Give all textures

To give all textures click on upper blue bar.
The receiver will warn "To receive the textures given by [Friend] click Yes."

SkirtMaker - Commands List

2008-04-19T23:45:00.005+02:00

Command Channel

The SkirtMaker can be controlled using spoken commands. These spoken commands are listed below and are given on a specific command channel (which can be set/changed via spoken command). The default channel is 1.

Command example:
/1 rez

For setting up a customized channel use command channel in your ".ini" notecard see above.

Tips:When typing commands you can use // for reuse the last channel you use. This can be shorter than prefixing every commands with /1. But you need to be very careful not using any other channel while doing this (particulary speaking into public channel).

Commands Reference

Here is a short list of command you can use
a parameter noted indicates an obligatory parameter
a parameter noted [parameter] indicates a facultative parameter, note that when specifying a facultative parameter all preceeding facultative parameters should also be set.

► reset
Reset all script in SkirtMaker.

► channel
Set current channel to one specified.

Prim Commands

► prim
Set the prim name that will be used for rezzing.
That prim need to be in the inventory of SkirtMaker.
No script is needed inside the prim.
The creator of this object becomes the creator of final flexy skirt.
Until not specified default prim name is prim.

► nb
Set the number of prims to rez.
There is not limit
Until not specified default number of prims is 10.

► rez
Rez all the prims.
Rezzed prims are automatically linked together (causes a 1 second per panel delay because LSL's llCreateLink command forces a delay).

► unlink
Uses when finished with the current loop
Causes the SkirtMaker to unlink from the prims.
Be awere no more commands can be used from this point to modify current skirt.

► dump
At any time use it to dump current parameters to private channel.
Use it for copying into a notecard that you will use as template.

Prims position and rotation commands

Each command listed bellow could be use inside a loop. i.e. all or part of prim could be affected by each command. Use them before using the command unlink.

Absolute versus Relative parameters
Some SkirtMaker commands used for setting decimal parameters can be either used with specifying absolute value (/1 rad 50 for setting the radius to 50 centimers) or by specifying relative value (/1 rad +10 for adding 10 centimers to current radius). When absolute value can be used a * will be added left to parameter name.

► loop

Loop step and shift allow to apply loop command to all or part of prim.
Loop 1 0 will apply loop to all prim
Loop 2 0 will apply loop to every 2 prims i.e prim 0,2,4,6 etc..
Loop 2 1 will apply loop to every 2 prims beginning from 1 i.e. 1,3,5,7 etc…
If not specified default loop parameters is loop-step=1, loop-shift=0.

► pos
Set the prim position offset in centimeters used when rezzed.
Use standard vector notation without space <0.0,0.0,200.0>
If not specified default position offset is 2 meter on z-axis.
Commands posx, posy , posz commands can be used to define position offset on one axis only.

► rot
Set the prim rotation in degrees used when rezzed.
Use standard vector notation without space <0.0,180.0,0.0>
If not specified default rotation offset is 180+ on y-axis.
Commands rotx , roty , rotz commands can be used to define rotation on one axis only.

► rad [radius-random*]
Set the ellipse radius in centimeters (radius+/-random) of both x-axis and y-axis.

► radx [radius-x-random*]
Set the ellipse radius in centimeters (radius+/-random) of x-axis.

► rady [radius-x-random*]
Set the ellipse radius in centimeters (radius+/-random) of y-axis.

► arcr

Set the angle range use for rezzing the prim. If use arcr 120 240, only prim in the range of 120° up to 240° will be rezzed.

► arco
Set the angle offset used for rezzing the prims. When using a 4 prims without arc offset, prims are rezzed around the ellipse at 0° 90° 180° 270°. When using arco 45 prims are rezzed at position 45°, 135° ,225° and 315°.

► flare [flare-angle-random*]
Set the flare in degrees (angle+/-random) to each prim.
90 degrees will set the prims horizontal.
0 degress will set the prims vertical.

► flareback [flareback-angle-random]
Add an extra flare in degrees to the backside of the skirt

Prims customization commands
The following commands have no effect until the prims have not been rezzed.

► color
Apply color to each sides of each prims defined by loop-step, loop-shift.

► alpha
Apply alpha to each sides of each prims defined by loop-step, loop-shift.

► tuuid
Set the texture uuid used by following tset and ttile commands.

► tset [repeat] [offset] [rotation]
Apply texture to each sides of each prims defined by loop-step, loop-shift and sides
Reapeat Offset and Rotation could be used. Use <1.0,1.0,0.0> <0.0,0.0,0.0> 0 if not wanted.

► ttile [number] [percentage]
Tile a texture across the skirt. Number set the number of time the texture is used along horizontal axis. Percentage defines how much of normal section is used for a single prim (1 for 100%).

SkirtMaker Tutorial - Tiling a texture

2008-04-19T22:51:00.005+02:00

This short tutorial will explain how you can tile a texture while easily modifying the offset used for each prim of a skirt.

First Edit SkirtMaker and copy the Ganesh texture into your Textures inventory.

Rez a simple skirt using following commands:

/1prim prim3
/1 nb 16
/1 rad 30
/1 flare 40
/1 rez

Resize the prims using:
/1 size <10,15,50>

In second part of SkirtMaker tutorials I introduce how you can put a texture to the skirt prims using tuuid and tset commands. Command ttile could be used to tile a texture across the skirt. Try the following commands:

/1 tuuid b04403df-1f43-2419-7f8a-9f91f9743ce6
/1 ttile 1 1

Result should looks like the picture below.

There are two parameters for the ttile command.
First parameter set how many times the texture will be used for the entire skirt, in our sample one.
Second parameter is the percentage of normal section of texture that is used for a single prim. For a ten prims 1/10 of texture should work. Depends of the shape of prims, flare angle might be to much as in our example. Only way to really know the good percentage is to try and test.

Try :
/1 ttile 1 0.8

And:
/1 ttile 1 0.5

Final Ganesh skirt looks like this :

SkirtMaker Tutorial - Advanced Tricks

2008-04-02T16:34:00.013+02:00

In this second tutorial you will learn more advanced features of SkirtMaker.

Create a template notecard

One of the nicest feature of SkirtMaker is to run commands written into a notecard. Instead of typing commands on voice channel, you may write it into a notecard and use that notecard as a set of commands with only one click. This feature has many applications :

First its records your commands, thus you can remember easily how you did a skirt you builded monthes ago,
You can easily create variants of same shape with many different textures (just copy a base notecard, modifiy texture commands, and use the new notecard)
You can easily create different size of same skirt

Click on SkirtMaker, a Dialog menu will popup with sample buttons.
Click on "sample 1"

Yep, you recognize the first sample skirt. Let see how this works.
Edit your SkirtMaker and select Contents Tab, you will find three notecards named sample 1, sample 2, sample 3.
Open sample 1.

That notecard stores the commands you used previoulsy with some comments added. All commands used on channel can be stored into a notecard. Drop that notecard into RezBoz inventory and the template will be available through the menu.

To Launch a template from voice command you can also type
/1 build <template-notecard>

Order of commands
Let's have a look to a particular point, you will notice order of command differ a lil bet from what you used when following the first tutorial.

Remember, what you did was : prim + nb + rez + flare + rad + flareback + color unlink

The notecard use another order: prim + nb + rad + flare + flareback + rez + color + unlink

Both order will work but there is a difference, setting the ellipse parameters before rezzing will be quicker. SkirtMaker will rez different prims on good place, instead of rezzing on standard place and modify afterward. Thus the order you did is more dedicated to try and see from voice channel. On the opposite, when all the right parameters are known, better is to set them before rezzing like in the "sample 1" notecard.

Dump parameters
To help writing of template notecard, SkirtMaker give you the possibility to dump current parameters into a notecard easily.

Type
/1 dump

SkirtMaker will answer on private channel :


prim prim1
nb 16
pos <0.000000,0.000000,0.000000>
rot <0.000000,180.000000,0.000000>
radx 50 0
rady 50 0
arcr 0 360
arco 0.000000
flare 65 0
flareback 10
bend 0 0

Open the history communication windows (Ctrl+H), select every lines and copy that them into a notecard. No pain is needed for you to remind you try and see. When ready and dump, nothing else ;)

Applying alpha, color and texture

You already use color command in the first sample, let's go further with the use three particular commands : alpha, color, texture.

At this point you should have open the "sample 1" notecard. Put in comment the last line // unlink. This will allow you to rez the "sample 1" without delinking to use some more commands before unlinking. Save the notecard.

Copy the "Age of Sempi" Texture into your Textures folder. That texture is part of great collection of Torley Linden textures.

Select the current skirt and delete it. Touch your SkirtMaker copy and select "sample 1" in popup dialog.

When SkirtMaker advices "color loop has been done"
Click right on Age of Sempi into your inventory and use command "Copy Asset UUID"

Type using paste for texture-uuid

/1 tuuid 33da96df-8224-d75f-45b6-c0c1c9bbf42f
/1 tset

You will notice SkirtMaker has applied the Age of Sempi texture to your prims.

Using loop for alpha, color and textures command
Without specifying anything else alpha, color and textures command will affect every prim of your skirt.

There is a way to affect only part of prim with command loop

Type

/1 loop 2 0
/1 color 5F0010
/1 loop 2 1
/1 color 4F0020

You will notice your dress is now using two differents dark red color. On is applied on even prim, the other on odd prim.

Loop first parameter "2" means next commands will affect only half of prim (i.e. step is 2)
Loop second parameter "0" means for color 5F0010 and "1" for color 4F0020 means loop begin from first prim (0) second prim (1).

Same trick could be used with other loop commands (size, alpha, texture)
Thus if you want to use three different textures you can use

/1 loop 3 0
/1 tuuid texture1-uuid
/1 tset
/1 loop 3 1
/1 tuuid texture2-uuid
/1 tset
/1 loop 3 2
/1 tuuid texture3-uuid
/1 tset

Creating a skirt with several layers

Unlink the current skirt with:
/1 unlink

And type:

/1 prim prim2
/1 nb 18
/1 rez

Now lower the new layer with:
/1 loop 1 0
Ensure that will apply to all prim
/1 posz -65
For lowering the prims of 65 cmd

Now use the command you already know to reduce the radius, but with an extra parameter
/1 rad 30 4
This set the radius to 30 but randomly position the prim in the range of [28,32].

Command flare could be use with random parameter as well:
/1 flare 65 10

Apply a texture

/1 tuuid df1ed602-2e5d-de8a-7ab5-06b4211d0809
/1 tset

SkirtMaker has a nice feature to resize the prim that have already been rezzed. Original size of prim2 is 25,25,30, we will reduce size of prim to 10,10,15.
/1 size <10,10,15>

We will now add a third layer

/1 rez
/1 posz -60
/1 rad 28 4
/1 flare 75 10
/1 size <10,10,15>
/1 tuuid df1ed602-2e5d-de8a-7ab5-06b4211d0809
/1 tset

No we will shift the layer from 10°
/1 arco 10

End of second tutorial,
And yes there are still some features to discover,
Some more to come ;)
