Some mobile/cell fones have struggled with the Flash player to the left. However, most will still work by simply choosing this Player Link : or copy and paste the following:

Remember, the player will only have music when I am live. Check out Live Shows for details.

Enjoy

 

Having been on SL for almost 5 years, I thought I had saw it all. Yanno, the guys playing girls, the girls playing guys, the BDSM, the liars and cheats behind their hubby and wives backs etc. Those who are not who they first say they are….Isn’t SL a wonderful place lol

 

I was recently shocked by a story I was told about someone on SL who had been to prison and should not even have been allowed near a pc! Also shocked by a certain AV who told some folks he had cancer! And told others his wife had! And that’s not the worst, he followed that by telling everyone his daughter was killed one weekend and of course some believed him, some did not!

 

I guess some folks join SL for the attention, but that is taking it too far!

 

Like every online chat program or chat room, SL is just that…the same, only a bit more glorified. There will always be the asses, fun folks, the serious, the lame, noobs, entertainers, attention seekers, hackers, caring and sharing, the needy and the greedy etc. It’s all part of an online community and for those who have been around the internet since the early 90’s, like me, you will be amazed at how much the whole experience has changed over the years.

 

The clever folks out there rule in my book and zFire Hue was one such guy. I used to use his great animation tool on SL to help bring my own creations to life. zFire Animator was a great product and top of the class for features.

 

But, then zFire released RedZone!!! I won’t go into details here, but for those who have never heard of it, it basically stole IP addresses of folks on a sim…and if they came on that sim again, even as an alt, Redzone would report it to its owner. Also holding all AV names in a database! basically, it stole IP addresses by means of the music player in SL! Each time you landed on a sim and played the music, your IP address was able to be grabbed easily by Redzone.

 

I don’t think when it was created it was intended to be mocked or seen as a trojan-type tool in any way. More a way for sim owners to help Ban those nasty folks, and then to also ban their alts to stop further troubles.

 

However, SL being SL didn’t quite see it that way. It was violating TOS, although overlooked at first. There was an outrage about the whole situation. And of course, we are protected now against IP theft with thanks to Phoenix and Firestorm which ask if you want to allow media/music to play first of all, if you think and know it’s a safe request. He should have been thanked for  making this vulnerability known!!!

 

For those who were down on Redzone, the following story might give you some satisfaction. As for a refund for buying the product…well, we all knew that was never gonna happen.

 

zFire Hue, Redzone creator goes to prison!

 

I have to ask myself, was that really the answer???  I guess the law is the law but in my opinion, he had created a tool to help sim owners at first, but in the way it did this was wrong. But not one persons pc or account was hacked, that we know of!

 

A database of names held and he goes to jail for that?  Not just the fact he gets the sentence, but afterwards he aint even allowed on sites such as eBay’s!! I mean ffs! C’mon! This is seriously fucked up right here!

 

I am sure there are tougher criminals in the world that need chasing by the law! But WTF do I know?

 

Another talent gone I guess. And of course nobody really cares, except those who used the GOOD product he created, the zFire Animator! Now we all suffer with no support or updates to a product we all loved. We suffer all because of one little mistake in another product. Funny how the bad side always gets the press.

 

Nobody ever had pages and pages of praise about how great the zFire Animator was when it was top of the list of SL tools to have!

 

In my own opinion, he should have been given a slap on the wrist, the product taken offline and allowed to carry on the work on his great product(s). Who knows what wonderful things he could have brought to our SL world………good or bad, we will now never know.

.

Well it’s been a while since I last updated the site with new releases from the store on SL. 3 new products to list (well there have been 4, but one was a gift).

 

Last week I was shown a little rl piccy from a certain Vendor creator (Hi Casper) of a plush toy. I thought, that looks cute (or as my mate Dem would say “Uber Cute!”). And decided to have a go at creating it in SL! Arrrgh! I had no idea what the hell it was called. All I knew was Casper called his Mr Fibble.

 

Some googling with my mate Bana and we found the little fluffy thing called a Puffle from a Penguin Club!!! The rest…well…have a look below. Clock the image to see it full size.

 

Ultrateque is proud to release the PUFF-L Plush Pet.

As always, the pet features a built in chatbot allowing you to ask it anything. It can either be worn on your body or rezzed on the ground and used as a greeter pet. It’s name can be changed easily and the messages said in greeter mode can be changed in a simple notecard.

This pet also features a colour change menu giving the owner the ability to change the Hair and/or Body colours. Lots of colour options to choose from too.

Also released by Ultrateque in plenty of time for Halloween comes two spooky pets:

BAT-E and SPOOK-E (both sold separately)

(again click images to see them full size)

And as with all pets, these come complete with built in chat bot, sound fx, greeter option etc.

Perfect for your shoulder or to be rezzed in world.

The BAT-E, SPOOK-E and PUFF-L can be purchased in demo form for FREE at the store so you can try before you buy. All pets can be seen in-store via the vendor rezzer also.

Can either be purchased in store or via the Marketplace.

Have fun….

Way too early for xmas, but on release anyway from Ultrateque (slurl) is HANK-E The Poo Pet.

If you have been under a rock for the last 10 years, you will have no idea who Mr hankey is, let alone Second Life or South Park!

For those who don’t know…. Enjoy this song:

Now you know who he is, Second Life users can now have their very own HANK-E Poo Pet to either wear on their shoulder or simply rez at their club, store or house!

 

The product is supplied in a toilet pan with Flush and fart sounds….and a little poo that can be flushed away. A great novelty idea for a product box. And it looks so good, I even have the toilet rezzed in my little house lol.

 

The actual product comes in five versions, proving that a HANK-E ain’t just for xmas. These are: Xmas, Cowboy, Vampire, Beanie Hat and Bandana versions. (With possibility for more in the future).

 

Each doing the same job….built in chat bot (ask them anything), built in random avatar greeter, landmark and notecard giver. Fully animated and exclusive sculpty prims made by myself in Blender. He even leaves little ploppy skid marks underneath himself from time to time!

 

Each one has a Owner-Only menu and this can be used to change their names and also to show off the different anim moves…and yes, this poo pet does push ups!!!

You can see them in the Ultrateque Store (slurl)  where you can also purchase them, or check them out on the Marketplace: (All sold separately)

HANK-E Xmas (Marketplace)

If you have always wanted to learn to script on Second Life or you have purchased one of those cheap and nasty freebie packs, then delete them now. A new product is available which can virtually create any LSL Script for you…the way YOU want it to. From simple to very complex and professional.

MiceOnABeam

Damn I wish this had been around when I started scripting all those years ago! This thing is just, to be blunt, bloody brilliant. Of course that is my own opinion tho

Direct from their website:

Graphically design your Second Life® scripts, and have the MiceOnABeam program automatically generate most of the Linden Scripting Language (LSL) programming code for you.

MiceOnABeam simplifies the development of new scripts by reducing the amount of manual coding you have to do.  If you are new to LSL scripting, you’ll find that by using just a few basic features of MiceOnABeam, developing your scripts will be much easier.

However MiceOnABeam also provides advanced capabilities¹ for the experienced LSL scripter as well that will prove invaluable in the development of complex scripts, including Composite States and Performance Analysis²!

To create your script in MiceOnABeam you choose among graphical modelling components to specify the program flow of your script in terms of states and the events that occur in your world that transition between the states.

To specify what happens when an event occurs you can then use the built-in LSL Actions and the LSL Action Wizard or insert your own LSL code directly.

The program then generates the LSL code for the model to form a complete script for the SL® or OpenSim based virtual worlds.

 

Their website has more details, video clip and demo version etc. For now, here is the video to show it in action

Check it out…

You can get a free version to test from their website and purchase the licence on the Marketplace for 3000l$ when you are ready to move to the full version. A great price for such a versatile product. Worth every l$ in my opinion.

New to scripting or even a professional scripter, this tool is just what we have been waiting for
