Annoyed from going AFK and then being logged off all the time when you leave Second Life alone? There is a solution for that not to happen!

Go to Advanced menu by hitting CTRL+ALT+D on your keyboard. Then Character -> Character Tests -> Go Away/AFK When Idle.

Or a less easier way is via “Debug Settings…”, type in the field “AllowIdleAFK”. Now set it to “FALSE”.

[TUTOR] How to unpack boxed items

If you have got an item that is “boxed”, then it means the real items are in the Contents tab. How do you get them?

Go to your Inventory (The icon at the bottom of the screen, next to Mini-Map).

Under Objects folder, you can see your boxed item. Select that item and simply drag it to the ground.

Now that you have rezzed your boxed item; right click from the pie menu and choose “Open”. Now copy the items to your Inventory.

Open your Inventory window and under “My Inventory” you can find your items. E.g. If it’s just an object, you can find it under Objects folder. If it’s just an animation, you can find it under Animations folder, and so on. But if it’s a whole folder, you will see it under “My Inventory” in its own folder.

Have fun!

[TUTOR] How do I see where people are?

Looking for people but cannot find them? Or you don’t know if there are people next to you?

In Second Life you can find people (aka; avatars) that are near you through the Mini-Map or the big Map, where you can see more than the sim you’re in.

What are the avatars? The avatars have a green icon. That looks like this.

You can’t see these icons? Go to the big Map, and see if you have the Person section checked.

This is a good method to use if you are attending an event, but the landmark did not really teleport you to the right spot and you want to find where it is held.
