This is a pair of scripts for changing the color of prims using a HUD. It’s intended for use in products you sell, such as hair, eyes or shoes, but would also be a useful tool for builders who which to change colors quickly, particularly for changing some colors on a prim quickly. The HUD itself is built on Bjorn Nordlicht’s rather excellent HSL color picker, heavily modified to drive the prim re-coloring script directly.

Key features:

• Full perms – intended for redistribution as copy/mod or trans/mod.
• Change some or all sides of prims, and some or all prims in an object (notecard configured)
• Powerful hue, saturation and luminance based HUD. No need to pre-define colors, they’re all available from the provided HUD.

Looks up the age and height of any avatar that clicks (touches) it, including calculating their age relative to the active population. Useful as a curio in nightclubs, shops, waiting rooms, etc.

Features include:

• Displays age in years, weeks and days (please keep in mind leap years before telling me that it’s mis-calculated an avatar’s age; they are calculated and included in the displayed value).
• Displays height in both metres and feet.
• Displays age relative to the active population (using a shared database of avatars), for example “Xugu Madison is 1840 days old, 1.99m / 6’6″ tall (with shoes). They are within approximately the 8% eldest of the active population.”.
• Designed for heavy load; doesn’t block touch events while looking up one avatar, and doesn’t get confused if two avatars use it at the same time.

Included in the package are four versions; two as spheres, two as plaques for a wall. Each object style comes with a texture in orange, and a texture in grey.

Waiting on SL server version 1.27 going live (currently scheduled to be completed by the 15th), I have a PayPal vendor for Second Life. Drop an item in, give it a price and your PayPal account e-mail address. Customers then click the vendor to get a URL out of it (cannot use llLoadURL() to bring up a dialog due to maximum URL length: please vote for http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4109 to see this fixed), and click that URL in chat.

This brings the customer to a PayPal login page. They log in to confirm their identity, and it brings up a payment confirmation page. The click “Pay Now”, and the money is transferred to your account, and the vendor ships the item.

Problems so far:

1. It can’t perform refunds itself, but needs manual intervention instead.

2. llLoadURL() hangs the script for 10 seconds, and can’t accept URLs long enough.

3. PayPal payment fees are fairly extreme when dealing with $1-5 at a time (expect to typically pay $0.30 + 2.9% per transaction).

I’m looking for testers if anyone’s interested; contact me in-world for more details.

Just put this item on XStreetSL. There will be a formal launch event before it goes on sale in-world, but I wanted to let you guys know about this ASAP.

Holo (rezzing) vendor, designed to sell a variety of products while taking up only the prim allowance of one at a time. Rezzes products in-world one at a time, either on request or by cycling automatically through available products, and allows them to be purchased. Based on the highly rated single object rezzer. Features include:

• Menu-driven
• Auto-cycles through products if avatars are nearby, but not using it.
• Shuts down and de-rezzes product if no avatars are nearby, to reduce lag.
• Converts show items into mini-vendors, to simplify purchasing and increase sales.
• Interactive objects (furniture with pose balls, for example) are rezzed fully functional.
• Integrated notecard giver in mini-vendor.
• Can be used to sell scripts, textures, or anything else, while rezzing demos on demand.
• Notecard configuration

Operation

When an customer clicks the vendor, it “locks” it to them, and then brings up a dialog menu of products that can be rezzed. This menu is paged (so you can store as many objects as you like, up to the limits of script memory). Vendor control only passes from an customer when they leave the area, or another customer tries to use the vendor after the customer has been inactive for a while (duration configurable).

When an object is rezzed, the vendor announces its price in local chat, and will accept payments. If it’s paid (by any customer, not just the one it’s locked to), it will check the payment amount and then deliver the item to them. On touch, it brings up the menu for the customer to pick a different object to rezz. It also passes a copy of the object for sale, to the rezzed object, enabling it to act as a “mini vendor” for that one object. This makes it easier for the customer to find an object to pay, and so improves the chances of a successful transaction.

Left alone, the vendor goes into an inactive mode to reduce lag. If it detects customers nearby, but not interacting with it directly, it automatically cycles through its inventory of objects in case one appeals to a passing customer. If clicked on in this state, it locks to that avatar and offers them the rezz menu.

inSL: Coming soon

It’s big, it’s red, it’s got a little flip-lid, and it’s just asking to be pressed. What does it do? Erm… well, lets just say you’ll want to be outside when you click it. Not going to ruin the surprise here, but it’s free, and you can try it out in my shop if you prefer that to getting your own copy.

A full perms version will be available soon, or now by request (IM me), but I want more time to clean up the instructions before it is made widely available.
