   @ AnnMarie Otoole

   They run just as well on mainland roads, if not better due to the ability to increase speed on certain sections (I hit just above 60 on a few straightaways). I tested 4 routes across different continents and they all performed perfectly (although they did run into some problems with your cars blocking the way). I did have to preprogram the intersections to turn at though, but you admit to doing the same thing. But again, thanks for addressing none of my points!

   @ hobo kelly

   Sensing for roads, avatars, and blockages is far, far different from real-time 3D mapping. Anyone with any knowledge of llSensor can get an autonomous car running just fine, but there is no llSensor command in real life.

   “. . . My question is: Why do you do it? What´s the point if nobody wants the bloody things? Why don´t you go and rez your vehicles on private land, owned by people that welcome them? They absolutely do not contribute to the beauty of sl, nor do they liven up the roads … ”

   LMAO, why are YOU in SL? There is more to (SL) life than dancing and pixel sex. Do I tell you what you should and should not be doing in SL. What makes you so almighty you think you can tell me what I should and should not be doing? The creative opportunities in SL are endless, perhaps you should try it yourself instead of criticizing others.

   If “nobody wants the bloody things”, how come I’ve given away over 6,000 of the freebies, I’ve sold about 25 of the non freebies, I’ve sold over 250 script licences, I get 25% of my tier costs from tips, and 45,154 different people have gone for a tour, many over 200 times.

   I do get some people who are dedicated to eradicating my vehicles but they are a small fraction of the kudos I get. I got my biggest tip last week, L$1,000 but the punch line, it was from a Linden.

   @AnneMarie,
   a) making four wheels turn: Thats called llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(), honey pie.
   b) six sit positions: you can either have a script in each sit prim that deletes itself after rezzing and setting the sit position for that prim. Sit position and rotation are a prim parameter and remain in existence even after you delete the sit script. Or else use the main script to set each links sit position.
   c) dataserver script: to maximize memory so you can have as large a list of waypoints as possible, you keep the dataserver in a separate script, and have the vehicle script request each consecutive waypoint from the dataserver script as needed. This is rather elementary scripting.

   The only reason you are still in the game and I am not is you continue to have your nose and mouth shoved firmly up Linden Lab’s bunghole, and I have always spoken truth to power, and suffered the consequences for having integrity, honesty, and courage. I can still script rings around you any day of the week.

   Cool thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.
   a) good idea. The “Fast” was not available when I first scriptied it and they update rotation speed often, depending on vehicle speed and wheel diameter.
   b) Unfotrunately I have allocated seating, you can’t select a seat easily from outside a vehicle. I also need to use llAvatarOnSitTarget to check vehcile commands come from a rider or observer and to re-allocate vacated seats. Does llAvatarOnSitTarget work after the script is deleted? I will check that out. Oh and many seats need animation.
   c) Well so far as storing all the waypoints for an intersection etc., I do that, Volume is quite minimal with compaction, What I have not done is map all the sims so I can store the data for all the adjacent sims just in case it is needed. Better planning would have included the global vectors so the .php script could find all adjacent sims and consolidate the data to cut down htttp calls. But it ain’t broke and works fine with one call per sim.
   d) There is no need to be rude or jealous. Just because I’m Rodvik’s daughter I don’t get any special privileges. Geeze I just got banned for 3 days.

   There are scripts on marketplace you can buy to use active code to assign multiple sit positions/rotations/animations on a single prim, btw.
   If you really are Rodvik’s daughter, tell him it would be to his advantage to call me if he really wants to avoid a half million dollar liability for past wrongs of his company. I’m sure he banned you for 3 days for talking back to him when he came down on you for the PR nightmare this fiasco set off (its not like LL needs more bad press these days, they do just fine generating it themselves being their normal gestapo short sighted idiots they are). Then again, this is SL, who knows what the daddy/daughter relationship is like in that family….

   Ain’t nobody in the Enoch family been suspended yet.

   AnnMarie, you am the CEO’s daughter? No lie? Will you marry me? I aint got more’n six wives, last time I done checked, so you can be the “Sunday Gal” and fix my truck so it stops.

    I still have this idea for a breedable car or truck… it could throw Kiddie Cars as its offspring… not to be confused with a Kitty Car what I had an idea for too… breedable Kitty Cars with a slightly receeding grey hairline and taped together eye glasses for headlights, one headlight is a little wonkey though, 4 paws which could be the fenders with wheels in them, and a tail that would go up when it gave birth at which time a little kitty car would come out and follow its mama for awhile, and when it was big enough Transfer would become enabled and you could give it away (before a hording situation developed). It might shout stuff out as it drove along too, mixed in with like cat snarling when another car passes by.

    To AnnMarie’s defense, even merchants selling things are putting out tip jars these days in SL and that is not the same as paying for something. It’s part of the freebie culture in SL. If Linden Lab does not want driverless vehicles on the public roads, they’ll have to make that clear. There are many implementations of driverless vehicles around.

    Meanwhile it’s easy to complain about other people’s stuff. Go make your own and show us all it’s better.

    @ AM Oderngrl

    The point isn’t that they can be made better, the point is that having nothing would be better. I could install my cars on mainland routes, but I’m not going to because I don’t believe they really provide any positive effect. The only possible purpose for these cars are for tourism, and that’s a load of shit, since there are better alternatives (blimps, flying around, or just walking) that don’t clog up roads and ruin the game for everyone else. Not that it matters, because the only thing to see on mainland routes are typically poorly-built Linden landmarks and ugly buildings and advertisements that aren’t allowed on private estates (and for good reason).

    Actually I have about 5 or 6 blimp launching sites but random navigation flying suffers from some undetectable hazards. Where vehicle run times average about 8 hours, flights average only about 10 minutes. Record to date is 59 minutes, crossing a mainland 3 times. They cruise at 30m altitude where permissions permit.

    SVC-22. the oldest bug on the books, is a major aircraft hazard. Undetectable private ejection systems are the other main hazard.

    Try one at Nakaa They’ve been flying the SL skys now for over 4 years but I didn’t keep flight or passenger statistics.

    What I find most amusing about this whole drama is that Prok, who has never created anything innovative or new or useful for people in her entire SL existence, has the gall to talk smack about AnneMarie’s vehicles. While I may criticize her scripting, its clear she’s public spirited in exactly the way that Prok claims to be for “building civil society”, despite how uncivil Prok is toward everyone who isnt paying her money. Yet Prok gets off scot free for her years of trolling many productive citizens of SL, getting people banned on false ARs, while AnneMarie gets a three day ban for one of LL’s cockups. This is just so totally typical for LL.

    intlibber,

    Admirably, you think we should be ‘civil’ to each other and suggest we should avoid “talking smack” to each other. But then I have two questions:

    1) Is it “civil” to suggest publicly it would be fun to prank someone’s real life house on halloween, like you did on this very page last week?

    or

    2) Is it not “talking smack” to say this to someone: “The only reason you are still in the game and I am not is you continue to have your nose and mouth shoved firmly up Linden Lab’s bunghole”

    Call me an academic snob, but I am just curious about what being “civil” or not “talking smack” means to you.

    hey annmarie, a blimp system sounds neat. Would you please try and create a blimp system somewhere in the interconnected Linden waters of the blake sea or the nautilus sea or especially around the contested waters in and around the Hollywood sim? that would be cool. you would need to add to your system a list of sims eligible to cross into that could ensure that blimps stay over the interconnected waterways. flying blimps only over the interconnected Linden waterways of which there are hundreds would ensure that you never flew into a: ban lines / no script / no free prims / no object entry / or security orb situation, any of which kills an aircraft. there are various secret rez points salted around at various places in those waters too that a blimp might be able to do special things with when flying over

    I like that idea, Hobo, it would not be difficult. So far all my blimps have required a passenger aboard to get “Vehicle status” which allows flying over no-script land. But that would not be a problem in the Blake Sea area.

    @Paul, like any idiot, you seem to think that those who violate the law should be treated the same as an innocent person. Despite whats been said about me, or about woodbury people like Tizzers, Charity, and others, we’ve never violated the law. Tizzers has committed disclosure, thats it, Tiz has never griefed or crashed a sim, etc. Kalel and Maverick took it upon themselves to stalk us both, in RL, long before anybody bothered Kalel at his house. Kalel was compiling his dossiers on other SL people he didnt like going back to January of 2007 and before that. I know, I was there, because at the start of the ‘griefer war’, Kalel and I were allies, so I knew much of what he was up to (other than the part about him and Angel Fluffy using the PN to attack other estates like mine in order to build their own influence across the grid). So Kalel was breakin the law and the TOS long before myself, or Tizzers, started to respond to his activities. Maverick Grunfeld is now documented having defamed and stalked me and Tizzers with false letters impersonating a ‘concerned parent’ to the RL administrators of Woodbury University in Burbank, even tho I’ve never violated TOS, but merely because I changed sides when I found out the truth, when i started treating griefers as a juvinile delenquency problem in need of solutions, rather than as a ‘war on e-terror’ that accomplished nothing but turn SL into a first person shooter for griefer and JLU alike….

    Since when was the -last- time LL apologized for anything? Usually they screw up their customers stuff without so much a peep other than some TOS “guideline” thrown up for the reason. All this time I have been on SL and not once have I seen -any- apologies for mess-ups.

    The problem has been fixed, so now the blocks should revert to their original state.

    I like the Sims much, but as for LL’s past behaviors remains an unknown future for this SL. Much dirty deeds has been done under this company!

    3 years have passed and the problem with AnnMarie Otoole’s trash is there to stay.
    Now she uses AaronM Jenkins and Enid Oompa to rezz her garbage in the sky of rez zones and then the bots move the garbage to the no rezz zones of LDPW, like taxi signs and bus shelters. Then, the bots appears each 10 minutes, to rezz the “fixed trash” and the vehicles.
    I have a land in Plusia, where I built the Plusia Train Station, near Spangle. The Moles installed SLRR switch’s in North and South entrances of my station.
    Both AnnMarie bots are banned from my station. Their garbage stay at the entrances of the station, when redirected by the SLRR switch’s.
    It’s usual for me RA each vehicle from the bots, that tries to enter my station, with “Disturbing the Peace >
    Object littering”, “Disturbing the Peace >
    Repetitive spam” or “Harassment >
    Advert farms / visual spam”. Of course nothing happens and the littering of garbage at my entrance is a fact, without any reaction from the Lindens.
    Some days ago, I installed a scripted sensor at the main entrance that commutes the switch to branch (my entrance) when it detects an object owned by one of the bots and the garbage is then auto-returned by the LDPW configuration.
    Yesterday, AnnMarie Otoole visited herself the Plusia LDPW land and IM’ed me:

    [08:34:31] Second Life: Incoming message from AnnMarie Otoole
    [08:34:39] AnnMarie Otoole: How about removing your selective switch?
    [08:35:02] (You): How about stopping the littering of objects not related to SLRR_
    [08:35:20] (You): into SLRR tracks?
    [08:35:54] (You): You can RA the switch… Do it, please
    [08:36:02] AnnMarie Otoole: I just finished doing the morph program for the bus, you delight in destroying all of them. It seems like a vendetta rather than a littering problem.
    [08:36:39] (You): you have the right of considering whatever.
    [08:37:01] AnnMarie Otoole: OK Let me know if you change your mind.
    [08:37:28] (You): The SLRR track is for the SLRR lovers and their trains. Keep your vehicles on the roads and off the SLRR tracks
    [08:39:40] (You): Meanwhile, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
    [08:39:45] AnnMarie Otoole: But you destroy my train versions so why should I bother?
    [08:41:39] (You): If you stop your buses, ice cream vehicles and taxi’s and horses from riding the tracks, I will stop the selective switch

    I didn’t deleted the sensor and as retaliation, half hour later AnnMarie Resident, another Otoole’s ALT, installed a *Bus Shelter at the North entrance of my station, in LDPW land and started rezzing objects named V-Metro City Bus V#1861*,
    During more than 7 hours, I RA each object rezzed at the entrance of my station (more than 40 RA’s).
    Also, I opened the Case #: 02055549:
    Dear Sirs:
    In 2011, I bought a land at Plusia, to build a train station and connect the track to the LDPW track.
    For several month, my SLRR entrance has been spammed by moving objects not related to SLRR and rezzed at several places by AaronM Jenkins and Enid Oompa, both ALT’s of AnnMarie Otoole.
    I already RAed many of those objects, but they keep littering the Plusia Station entrance.
    Today, probably by retaliation, AnnMarie Resident, another ALT of AnnMarie Otoole, installed in the LDPW land of Plusia and at the track connection to my own, a *Bus Shelter and started rezzing objects named V-Metro City Bus V#1861*. As the land has 10 minutes auto-return, they keep rezzing the objects at that rate. This is against TOS/CS and since the starting of this new form of harassment, I already filled dozens of Report Abuses, with no results.
    I pay promptly my 1/4 of SIM, I pay promptly my annual Premium fee, but I don’t have any help from Linden Labs, when I’m harassed at the entrance of my own land, using for that, Linden Labs land.
    What can I do, to stop this type of violation? Do I need to close my account (from 2007) and go to other Grid?
    Meanwhile, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    I also stopped the script of redirecting the garbage to my entrance.

    Today, the Bus Shelter is not there, but AnnMarie Resident is still at Plusia SIM, supposedly doing nothing.

    I still manually redirect the garbage not related to SLRR to my entrance and return them to the ALT’s of AnnMarie Otoole and I’m going to see what comes next.
