✨ Feature Requests

In the texture/material properties of an item, the scale, offsets and rotations are set in the edit window. However, when any PBR material is applied, it resets to the default values of 1.0x1.0, 0u/0v, 0 degrees, cancelling any previous settings. This makes it very tedious to switch between different PBR materials. This is a request to make the scale/offset/rotation of an item PERSIST after they are set in the edit window when a PBR material is switched, instead of defaulting to 1x1, etc. with the new material, as is the case when any blinn-phong texture maps are changed.

Please create a "Region Offline", "Region Restarting" or "Region About To Restart" warning prompt in the login screen which detects what region you're attempting to log in to, including your Home, Last Login or from a specific region name. Then if the requested region is "Region Offline", "Region Restarting" or "Region About To Restart", the log in screen should suggest an alternative online location where it is currently safe to login to. This would prevent the frustration felt by people unable to log in to Second Life at their usual or last location, or lack the ability to log in by manually elsewhere by typing in another region name.

Over the past 20+ years, the request from users with wide or multiple monitors to be able to 'take the floating windows out of the viewer' has been repeated, ad nauseam. We've been told repeatedly that this is simply not possible, as the 'floater' windows are being rendered by the viewer graphics pipeline. So how about an alternative idea: Let us (optionally) 'tear off' the 3D view, and render it/move it around, within it's own 'floater'. This would allow users with multiple monitors to 'stretch the application' to utilize more of their screen real-estate, while at the same time allowing them to avoid the significant camera distortion and the avatar being placed 'helpfully' dead center of the screen at all times. See example attached mock-ups, for how this might be implemented. This feature, if also included with a 'minimize' function, could allow the standard second life viewer to act in a lower resource utilization mode, by effectively disabling the rendering of the 3D view while the floater was minimized.

This is a reminder about your rental at secondlife:________. YOUR RENTAL IS NOW MORE THAN A WEEK OVERDUE. You need to pay soon to avoid eviction. I ended this rental over a week ago, yet I continue to receive daily notices stating that my rental is overdue. There was no option to mark the rental as concluded, and now these emails are cluttering my inbox unnecessarily. Please understand: I intentionally ended the rental. I should not have to keep seeing overdue notices for something that’s no longer active. There must be a way to stop these messages — and if there isn’t, there really should be. These reminders not only feel intrusive, but they also reflect poorly on the landlord, making them seem pushy or negligent when the fault may lie with system limitations. I don’t know if this was due to the owner disabling an option or if this is just another one of those unclear systems that LL keeps under wraps. Either way, there’s no transparency or user control, and it’s frustrating. Do I open a ticket to get this spam to end?? Which Linden takes care of this? Casper will just yell at you and insult you so that is a dead end and a whole other issue that needs to be taken care of.

This request had been accepted by Spidey Linden here https://github.com/secondlife/jira-archive/issues/11574 but we believe it was forgotten when this feedback repository was created. Initially we requested it from Firestorm and Beq Janus followed up to LL here: https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-33373 Jnakagawa and I have a couple hundreds of LGBTQ+ customers that have 2 very tall avatars eager to have this feature implemented since that time. The system is called Paragon Couples HUD and we hope we can include this community and their avatar height preferences in our reliable no pose balls HUD used by a couple thousands.

Updated: 18 May 2025 Most regions in Second Life are still using the old legacy windlight by default. This means that even if someone is using a PBR viewer with shared environment enabled, they’ll still see a blue tint. This causes confusion, assumed it's a graphics card issue not being able to handle PBR. I really want to see LL fix this by creating a new default windlight that works with both Legacy and PBR viewers. If you're unsure how, I made a full perm windlight that looks good on both viewers that you can use as a template: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Mysterious-Designs-Windlight-Pack-Creator-Edition-PBR-Legacy-Combined/27059085 This matters to me because I create a lot of glass products and as you can see the difference between them both: https://gyazo.com/345080efe6aadb683abebc611e6f9693 I'm currently landscaping for a client on a community estate, and used my glass in many areas, but all their regions are using the default Legacy day cycle Windlight. When residents of this estate drive around using shared environment, they will see my glass like this: https://gyazo.com/7553103b21e27e2d07165b3eda30cb47 This issue has been brought up many times before, but many of us couldn't create a Windlight suitable for both viewers until now. You can upload a new default + day cycle on Marketplace, include it in our inventories, and send out an email to all region owners on how to set this up.

When terraforming land, we currently have a squared target area and at nearly 20 years on the grid, it's the only one I recall having. Is it possible to have a circular option for softer land sculpting in addition to the harder lines we have now?

Can you add country flags as emojis please.

If you look at the people in your SL friends list, do you recall who they are or where you met? If we had hints or notes about this, it would be better than real life. When adding a friend, adds any helpful information that will help me recall them later. "Where and when did we meet?" Perhaps have a field for free text notes I may want to add when accepting their friend request. Any other details we could add? Their current user name / display name? This information could be saved into the My Notes tab that already exists in Profiles.

Second Life Residents come from all parts of the world, however something that divides us is timezones. I propose a feature that will help unify us in that regard, and that feature being a Timestamp URI extension. The proposed implementation would allow for URIs such as secondlife:///app/timestamp/<unix timestamp>?timezone=SLT&format=H:m:s . Where <unix timestamp> is the standardized Unix Timestamp integer, which is based off GMT. (LSL has the ability to fetch the Unix Timestamp) By default, it will display SLT time, but timezone can be specified to show local or other timezones, such as GMT . The viewer already has timezone capabilities in it. Format can be a constant of full , short , time , or date , or a custom formatting such as H:m:S following a specification such as that laid out by python's strftime , which I believe is also the same used by PHP and Perl. This would allow us to share time and dates, while ensuring Residents' privacy is respected, as we do not have to request a user's timezone information. Notably, Discord has this feature, and it is used extensively by users to coordinate meetings, online times, and other information. (See this gist for examples) For example, a user may put a timestamp in their profile to show that "I am online between <timestamp a> and <timestamp b>" which shows local time. Residents on Second Life would be able to do the same thing by using this URI Extension. Some example use cases: * Specifying the start of an event, such as SLB or a shopping event. * Specifying online times. * Specifying event log times in local time.
