MUV601 - Robin Le Couteur - Permissions Activity -2018


Robin Le Couteur's Permissions Activity Blog

In this blog I'll be giving my thoughts and answers for the Permissions Activity

Activity 1.  In pairs
  1. What problems are you finding? Figuring out how to share to an individual
  2. How do you overcome them? By testing out different ways of sharing.
  3. What permissions do you need to use? You can go into someones profile and check the 'Edit, delete, or take my objects' box, and that person will be able to edit any of your objects, you can share to a group, so people in that group can edit the object, or you could drag the object to the chat with another person to give them the object. Changing the 'Next owner' settings will change what someone who takes the object can do with it
  4. Who owns the final object? Me
  5. Who shows as the creator of the final object? The original creator of the object.
  6. What permissions does the next owner of the object have? The permissions that the creator set for 'Next owner', plus any additional restrictions placed by previous owners.

Activity 2.  In groups of 4  
  1. What problems are you finding? Having issues with having full permissions on the object.
  2. How do you overcome them? By changing the script perms as well as the object perms.
  3. What permissions do you need to use? You need to change the object permissions as discussed in activity 1, but you also need to change the perms of the script as well.
  4. Who owns the final object? Me
  5. Who shows as the creator of the final object? The original creator of the object.
  6. What permissions does the next owner of the object have? The permissions that the creator set for 'Next owner', plus any additional restrictions placed by previous owners.
Activity 3.
Imagine that you have created a really clever, heavily scripted sword which you are selling in a shop in Second Life for $1000L and which has been earning you a small but steady income for several months.  However, sales have dropped significantly over the last few weeks and one day you realise that the exact same sword (it even still has the silly name that you gave it) is being sold on the SL Marketplace for $10L.  You buy one to investigate further and discover that you are no longer shown as the creator although everything else is the same (although you can’t open the script to check that). You suspect it has been stolen and copied especially when a friend tells you that they saw the same sword as a freebie in OpenSim.
  • How could your sword have been stolen? It could have been exported because permissions on the object were not restrictive enough.
  • How could it be in OpenSim? Since the object was exported, it could be imported to an OpenSim grid as a mesh.
  • How could it be in SL with a different creator name showing? The person who uploaded the mesh would be the owner in SL because the exported mesh doesn't contain the Permissions and details of the item.
  • Who would you report it to? You would report it to Linden Labs as a DMCA copyright infringement.
  • How would you  try to stop it happening? Be more restrictive on the permissions that you set on the object and it's scripts.

MUV601 - Robin Le Couteur - Assignment 3, blog 3 - 2018

Assignment 3 Progress - Blog 3 -  Scripting the keys Over the last couple of weeks I've been making some progress on my scripting for the piano keys. I've done some other progress on other elements of the build, but I'll just talk about what I've done in the week 11(May 21). So into the key scripting!  Right, so my first idea for scripting the keys was to place the audio file for each note into each individual key, and have a script for each key that would play the note and perform additional effects for the key. The script that each key had looked something like this: -------------------------------------------------------------- string note = "note_00"; playsound()       {         llPlaySound(note,1.0);     }        default {      touch_start(integer total_number)     {         playsound();     }     collision_start(integer num)     {         playsound();     }     } ---------------------------------

Assignment 3 Initial Planning Chosen Option The option I chose for this assignment content creation with interactive complexity. I'll be making an interactive music display that involves a giant piano keyboard that people can walk on to make sounds and some other interactive elements. The purpose of this project is to create a fun, friendly environment where people can be creative with music and sounds. it can be enjoyed as an individual, or it can be used by a group to experiment with collaborative creativity and to just have fun. This project has possible educational uses as well to teach music concepts in a fun environment. The six interactive complexity requirements I will be including in this project are the following: A scanning system that will detect the presence of an avatar then interact with the avatar in some manner An instance of scripted communication with an avatar via main chat An appropriate particle system The presentation of a dialog menu with

MUV601 - Robin Le Couteur - Assignment 1, blog 2 -2018 Blog 6 MUVE Locations - The Realm of Light The next location I chose to look at was the Realm of Light which can be located here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Realm%20of%20Light/221/154/24 I chose here as my second location because it amazed me how detailed and beautiful you could make a place using SL’s fairly limited graphics. It felt like a great contrast to the Ivory Tower because unlike how the tower exists for practical and educational reasons, the Realm of Light almost purely exists for aesthetic reasons. When you teleport into the world, you land in an amazingly detailed forest with flying butterflies, fairies, detailed wispy grasses, trees with little glowing particles on them, and many other fantastic things. There’s relaxing sounds of birds, insects, and running water which make it obvious, along with everything else, that this is a place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The forest: There’
