Tis time. Welcome to the weekly Oxbridge Deans' Q&A (looks gratefully at Phrynne for allowing that "s" at the end of deans) |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
lol |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, to you have anything? |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
One item. |

Hello, Ms. Willowbark. Welcome |

Hello ty |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Last week I mentioned that the Vehicle Sandboxes did not seem to have places to rez vehicles turned on. I was contacted by Michael Linden, who said they were there, so I went and looked again. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
The rez areas are in general a good distance from anywhere you'd drive anything, and have a street sign that is so discreet that could easily be missed. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I've put the sign on a prim to show you --let's see if the lecture hall will let me rez it |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
That looks to me more like a 'do not litter' sign, but there it is. |
| 15:06 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
Throw trash in the basket! Oh! Oh! I know that one! |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
If you go to the Vehicle Sandboxes look for this sign to rez your vehicle. |
| 15:07 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
snap I type too slow |
| 15:07 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Small vehicle... |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Also, you might want to turn on seeing parcel lines |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I was thinking of a traveling avatar lugging their luggage with a tractor beam. |
| 15:07 |

Phrynne |
That's all I have this week -- I've been doing paperwork and helping newcomers in the plaza |
| 15:08 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
They need to hire Ikea person to redesign that.... |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
I will be putting the sign and more information on a notecard for staff to give out. |
| 15:08 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
:^) Mr. Elfbiter |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
and that's all. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, Miss Gronk came up with another sandbox, I believe. |
| 15:09 |
Gronk Seriman |
It's an old Linden sandbox that still kinda works. |
| 15:10 |
Gronk Seriman |
And is G-rated. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, that's good to know. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne can you note ratings on that notecard, please? |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
All the vehicle sandboxes are G. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No place to work on erotic vehicles? |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
Not that I can see. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
If you want to work on a hotdog and meatballs, better go to an Adult-rated sandbox. |

Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
It's heck sitting in the front row. |

Just a thought, given what tends to be on the top of the page when I log into marketplace. |

Fidget (fidgetswidgets) wipes her hand on her trews and shushes. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Jorge Serapis can't make it today, but he and I have been coordinating the multi-lingual kiosks. He's done another version, I'ved got it scripted, and it's still LI 1. |
| 15:17 |
Jorge Serapis |
Let me know when he's back, so I can throw an anvil at him. :-) |
| 15:17 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
**xnorts** |
| 15:17 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hahhaha |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I was a bit surprised on that last, because with two scripts the server weight is 1.5. |
| 15:17 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
LOL |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hey Jorge. I was given misinformation I see. |
| 15:18 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
**cheers for the LI, 'cuz it seems the right thing to do** |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I thought I'd have to combine the two scripts (the add 0.25 LI per script), but this is the first time I've seen LI round down. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Jorge, take it from there. |
| 15:19 |
Jorge Serapis |
So I gave Word there the kiosk, and he's scripted it beautifully... |
| 15:19 |
Jorge Serapis |
... works like a charm. |
| 15:19 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay! |
| 15:20 |
Jorge Serapis |
I've also made a wall version a couple hours ago.... |
| 15:20 |
RainyDayRecess |
Go team! |
| 15:20 |
Jorge Serapis |
..I don't know if Word's gotten the chance to throw scripts at it. |
| 15:20 |
|
Phrynne cheers for the wall version |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(haven't yet) |
| 15:20 |
Jorge Serapis |
BUT.. the good news is... the concept works if we go the button route. |
| 15:21 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I suppose it would be too much to leave the current kiosks as is, and mount the language-friendly ones on the wall behind them? In the interest of impatient English speakers? |
| 15:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
Any show and tell? Yaaayyy! |
| 15:21 |
Jorge Serapis |
(Wall version, non scripted on display.) |
| 15:21 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Whoa |
| 15:21 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
**cheers for show and tell** |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
I don't think we have that much space, Larky |
| 15:21 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
ok |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
But we do have posters that up to now have been on the wall and not in kiosks |
| 15:22 |
Jorge Serapis |
.. which I think Phrynne was really keen on having/ seeing. |
| 15:22 |
Jorge Serapis |
So.. ergo sum cappucino. |
| 15:22 |
Phrynne |
This will save some space in the more crowded buildings |
| 15:22 |
Jorge Serapis |
So, I took a quick survey of what's left in terms of tutorials.. and it's 1.5 colleges to go. |
| 15:22 |
|
Agatha Macbeth wonders where the outfit in the picture is from |
| 15:23 |
Jorge Serapis |
I *think I'm clear of work this week, so I'll resume asap on those. |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We don't want to add extra objects leaving current kiosks. Too many objects |
| 15:23 |
Jorge Serapis |
As Miss Solace Fairlady. she's the model. :-) |
| 15:23 |
Jorge Serapis |
So I hope the two big muck amucks up there approve. :_0 |
| 15:23 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Nice, gracias |
| 15:24 |
Jorge Serapis |
(Also, meshed version, LI of 1.) |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Which I should be able to script and keep that way. |
| 15:25 |
Jorge Serapis |
Indeed. ;_) So I think we're seeing the middle of the tunnel on this project, so to speak. |
| 15:25 |
Gronk Seriman |
Is there such thing as a two-sided kiosk? |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(looks for the button that separates the saucer from the rest of the ship) |
| 15:25 |
Jorge Serapis |
There can be. :_) |
| 15:25 |
Gronk Seriman |
Would that save space an LI? |
| 15:26 |
Jorge Serapis |
The reason, Word, that the standing kiosk is 2 linked items is because there are 9 discrete textures on the base template model. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, it would need another set of buttons. |
| 15:27 |
Jorge Serapis |
Mesh can only handle up to 8, so it creates a linked individual prim for the etra faces. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I came up with a diagnostic script that I can put into a mesh-prim to determine what link it is and what the display and button faces are (script is "touch my face") |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, a lot of progress. |
| 15:32 |
Jorge Serapis |
Disregrding the first two months trying to get the original textures, I think this project has moved at a lightning pace. |
| 15:32 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yes, very nice work :) |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The scripts, btw, are not secret and are easily configurable to other mesh pieces. |
| 15:33 |
Jorge Serapis |
If I stick with a 2 texture a day pace, the whole tutorial will be translated into SPanish by enf of month, into first week of November. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But without the textures, being able to change them isn't a heck of a lot of use. Jorge deserves a hand. |
| 15:33 |

As to the other languages... Word, Carl and Phrynne have the editable textures.. |
| 15:34 |
Jorge Serapis |
... I sent off the first batch to be translated into Portugese and am awaiting the translation. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any dip to go with them Phrynne? |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |

I'm just the proofreader for Spanish and French, nothing more on this project. |
| 15:35 |
Jorge Serapis |
A lot of people to thank. This hs not been a one avatr project by any means. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, wait, those would be edible textures. |
| 15:35 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
Curry in a Hurry .. an excellent recipe. |

I thought that was the aftermath. |

(Did I just say that out loud?) |

Gah! No math! No after! |

So, that's that from me. |

I've only one other "notice". Just a reminder that Oxbridge is run by staff and not a roll your own affair. Following staff directives is required. Mal says it as well as I can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itRFJpBcVfA |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, any announcements? |
| 15:39 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
My hero! |
| 15:39 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There will be a dance on the roof of the haunted manor on Mysterious Island. It is in the Steam Sky City Sim across the border from the Dockhouse this Tuesday night at 6 PM Sl Time. Costumes recommended by not required. See the notice in the Caledonian Nights and ISC Groups. The Art Show will be up until Wednesday night then it wil come down. Many thanks to those that donated Lindens, donated art to be seen, or helped by being there to show your support. The Fall festival opens this Monday in the Oxbridge Village. There are rides and games this year, a photo booth where you can take your picture with a zombie. Plus the Haunted manor is a side attraction as well a a GCS Zombie Combat area that has been set up in the South End Sim.. Stereo Isn't on for me to get the details. Might want to check with Ms Stereo Nacht for more details. I can provide the LM's to the haunted Horror Manor and the Zombie combat zone. |
