After over 20 years working and socialising in various virtual communities and meta-verses before the phrase was even coined mainly in Second Life a popular 3D virtual platform. Around five years ago I became a little disenchanted. I had had many great times within SL however over the years it had changed and not all for the good. More and more I was finding people were getting hurt by people who just seems like they wanted to brush their egos and create drama. Many of these people had reported the issues even major breaches of the SL Terms of service to little avail. Even report of illegal activity and paedophiles seem to draw little response. I became to realise that SL had moved away from the community focus platform that it once was and now seems more concerned with making money for share holders than its users,

This led me to looking for alternative platforms and I search through many many words many of them seemed abandoned some amazing features but lacking users. Others seems predominantly populated by teenagers. On a few worlds i had hope and reached out to the owners to ask them what it was they where trying to do. The answers on most where disheartening they either had little long term focus or were simply trying to grab a market share of the meta verse community to make money.

I had even considered opening my own world although had decided that in the current financial climate it was a huge risk. Then a friend asked me to check out avatarlife. Now i had been to avatar-life briefly before and made a mental note that it did show promise but had forgotten to go back. So I signed up an account and soon after met the owner and his right hand lady. They seemed open and very honest people I asked about what they wanted from the world (or grid as its known on that platform). The answers impressed me especially when it turned out they were focused on building communities and giving their users the freedom to build there one communities and create.

Had i found a new home time would tell.

I was offered free land and well felt special and welcome then discovered id missed the sign tell any one they can have a free parcel few small stipulations i noted was that it was one per ip and there were basic rules to reduce lag, so a nice offer and well thought out things where looking up.

Time to see what else was here i was directed to several free shopping outlets bodys, head, clothes, skins, houses, furniture, landscaping all available for free. Awesome I did note that many of these were very similar to items i knew well from sl and some where exact copies. So something to ask about its bot uncommon on the open grid network but I wanted to know.

Then I almost literally bumped into one of my online nice, me and her mother had been firm friends year earlier and ha d adopted each other. I hadn’t seen her in years so we sat and chatted and caught up(it made me feel very old ). She mentioned that the grid had helpers people who were volunteers to offer support to new people. I thought oh ok I can do that and applied went through an interview and was hired.

Had i found a new home began too look like a maybe.

I reached out to the online family to ask them to come check it out and give me their opinions the were amazed. Then it came to them getting there free parcels the land i was on had three parcels free. One of the staff reached out to me and them and said well if we would like we could live next to each other which was kind of awesome. They also pointed out that if they had assigned them land elsewhere first then there would have been a fee to relocate. Again myself and the family were impressed they could have easily made money from this but instead wanted us happy we most definitely where.

Had we found a new home well almost certainly.

So I was talking to one of the head staff lady called angel and mentioned about the stuff i had found that was from SL. Her comments impressed me alot. She didn’t try to deny this but pointed out they had been brought in from another grid and were on that grid for free so were offered on avatar life for free. However if i knew any creators then to invite them and if any of there stuff had been copied they would remove it and replace it with the legitimate ones. This seems like a fair and reasonable solution. She also mentioned that one of the projects they had on was to replace the stuff with their own original content and as I had told her about being a former lecturer offered me the chance to run some blender classes in the campus. well im teach the clue is in the name.

Had i found a new home most definitely.

So from a very battered old dinasour thank you avatarlife for rescuing me from the SL drama and idots. Thank you for giving me the freedome to create and teach. Thank you for restoring my faith in that this dream is possble. Thank you for restoring my faith that most folks are decent people. Are you perfect? No. Are you trying to be better yes exactly like me. But mostly thanlyou for the freedom to be me the me I choose to be.

Still reading well why just come see for yourself the bars open. Lets build a better world together vitualy

Hello,
I am trying to make (a touchable or walkable) prim that will change the EEP for the agent interacting with it.
I tried this script but it does simply nothing.
Does anyone has a working script or a suggestion, please?

string daycycle_a = "3545d068-b539-4f55-9687-2d33e1762eb4";
string daycycle_b = "19d7a2a7-e10a-451f-9064-0e2f426f21f1";
integer transition = 1;
integer switch;

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Touch to see osReplaceAgentEnvironment usage.");
llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Transition: " + (string)transition + " second(s).");
}

touch_start(integer number)
{
key agentKey = llDetectedKey(0);

if (llGetAgentSize(agentKey) != ZERO_VECTOR)
{
integer result;

if (switch = !switch)
{
result = osReplaceAgentEnvironment(agentKey, transition, daycycle_a);
llRegionSayTo(agentKey, PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "daycycle_a: " + daycycle_a);
}

else
{
result = osReplaceAgentEnvironment(agentKey, transition, daycycle_b);
llRegionSayTo(agentKey, PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "daycycle_b: " + daycycle_b);
}

if (daycycle_a == "" || daycycle_a == NULL_KEY || daycycle_b == "" || daycycle_b == "")
{
llRegionSayTo(agentKey, PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "The normal environment for the parcel or region has been selected.");
}

if (result > 0)
{
llRegionSayTo(agentKey, PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Agent environment replaced with success!");
}

else if (result < 0)
{
llRegionSayTo(agentKey, PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Agent environment replaced without success!");
}
}

else
{
llInstantMessage(agentKey, "You need to be in the same region to use this function ...");
}
}
}
