STEP. 6

Toolbar Buttons

This is how you change toolbar buttons. The one i have made a ring around is the most useful ones. I will show you under here what most of the buttons do.

This is my Toolbar buttons Map of Doom!

The Camera controls are really useful to move around the cam to see the front of your avatar specially when you are matching your outfit.

When you have Made a nice outfit you probably wanna save it so you won't loose it.. 

Here is how to do it:

1. Find the button with a shirt on.CLICK IT!!

2. On the window that pops up click Save as..

3. In the little window that pops up, write in a name for your outfit.

4. Then click OK.

You will then have the outfit saved in this window and in the folder in your inventory called Outfits. 

If you ever want to wear the same outfit again you can go back and rightclick the folder with the outfit and click Replace Outfit.

TADAA!!

STEP 5.

How To change your Display Name

1. Open up your profile!!

To open your profile rightclick you name above your head and click PROFILE. OR Click AVATAR at the left upper corner then click PROFILE!!

2. Find the button with a symbol on it looking like a wrench. And another window will pop up!

3. Type in the new name you want for DISPLAYNAME. Then copy it and paste it in the field under it.

4. Then you click Save!! 

It will pop up another window, just click OK on that one and when you look on your name above your head it will be changed.

There ya go!!

Now remember!! You will have to use the old name when you log into the game still.. This is just a DISPLAY name.

STEP 4.

How to unpack

It's pretty easy.. Follow my instructions:

not that hard eh.. :D

Make sure you pick up the things after you. To do that you:

1. Rightclick your item

2. Than click TAKE

You probably need to know how to chat with people.. You know how to write in local..

To IM someone, you either rightclick the avatar or their name in local chat then click IM. Another box will pop up by your chat window and you will now be able to IM people. :)

Add friends are as easy as Open a IM box..

Rightclick the person or their name in chat and Click Add as Friend.

if you're in an IM box all ready, click the little symbol of two people holding hands..

The contact lists you will find your friends and the groups you have joined..

See the little button beside the button with people holding hands.. Looks like a teapot or a oil lamp of some kind, ya know aladdin and stuff.. ANYWAYS!!! That button will send your friend a Teleport and they can teleport to you. :)

Then click Landmark this Place

A window will pop up, click close, then exit the window!

 There we go!!

If someone sends you an ITEM it will most likely end up in the OBJECTS folder

If they send a FOLDER it will end up beneath the TRASH folder

Skins, shapes and eyes goes to the BODY PARTS folder

Clothes goes to the CLOTHING folder

NEXT STEP!!
Log into SL Marketplace! click ->HERE<-
Type in your name and your password of course!!
You will come to a page the looks like this

SOOOO!!!
What you will need for an entire new look iiis:
1. Shape
2. Skin
3. Eyes
4. Hair
5. Shirt, Pants/Skirt and Shoes
6. AO (Animation override)

So what you start with is to type in the search field:
Female skin... or Male skin..
It will pop up a lot of option but they all cost lindens right.
So look to the left scroll down a bit and you'll see lots sums and stuff..
Like this:

Type in 0 at the highest amount you can afford then click search and a new search result will pop up!!
NOW!!
What you have to look for is Gifts and Promos!! look at the pictures and the reviews of the skins to see if they are any good.. But then again they're free so you can try them anyways.
Want the skin/items?? Look to the right of the picture find a orange button that say [ADD TO CART]

!!!ALSO!!!! The ones that say DEMO are only demonstrations on how the actual product will look like.. so if you buy a skin that say demo you will end up having a skin saying DEMO all over the body!!!!

Try the gift pack people make there can be some usable things in them! Like THIS one!!
Some group gifts needs to be claimed InWorld Like this one ->HERE<- Click the little link saying
SEE ITEM IN SECOND LIFE
There will pop up a map and you will need to click teleport to location, and you need to be logged onto your viewer as you do. A window will pop up InWorld and you need to click the teleport button and you will teleported to the item in world. Some times you will have to join a group to get the gifts.

 both these places send you folder with the items so it's only for you to open the folder and attach the thingies.

Too lazy to go tp around in InWorld again, i recomend to look at Panda punx gifts at marketplace, THOUGH they do cost 1L but they're really good :)

AWESOMEST THING IS WE HAVENT SPENT EVEN 1 LINDEN!!

NEEEXT!!

Shapes you can easily do yourself in appearence... But I say easy cause i've done it maaaany times before.. it's easier for you to find one you can get for free.. Preferably Modify so you can tweak it yourself as you want it but atleast you will have a base..

I'll try ths one even if it's not modify but i can always make my own later.. Just so you can see how it will look for now :3

->HERE<-

Marketplace again!! and it's time for check out as i have found all i need and my cart is Full!!

TO TAKE IT OFF??

Okay, you either find the item on your avatar, rightclick it ON YOUR AVATAR and then click DETACH on the menu that pops up.

IF it's a clithinglayer that isn't a prim... like socks or something... Rightclick your name that's floating above your head.. Click TAKE OFF> then click CLOTHES and choose what you want to take off and just click it..

OR you go to your inventory, find the item you want to take off and rightclick it there and click DETACH.

OR you find the little button on the bottom of your screen with a symbol on it that looks like a T-Shirt. Click it and a window will pop up. Click the tab saying WEARING, and you will find a list of things that you currently are wearing, rightclick and detach or take off.

STEP 2.

Yea you have now managed to log in for the first time!!

You will be totally confused the first few days, cause GOSH so many controls!!

This is probably where you will end up first time!

It changes alot so might not be here either but anyways..

Yea... That's me!!

You will walk funny.. look funny but we will fix it eventually..

ANYWAYS!! See the arrows?? follow them!!

Use your arrowkeys to move forward! Doubletap and hold the up arrow to run.

okay and here some basic knowledge

AS you also can see on this pic is that the bridge you about to walk on is broken and you will have to fly..

Hold down Page Up  on your keyboard for a few seconds to fly up then use the arrow keys to fly forward.

To land again hold down the Page Down key until you stand safely on the ground again.

At the END of the trail!

 Go through the portal!!

you will end up here!!

YAY!!

People will probably start talking to you and greeting you here.. :)

Here you can also get help if needed!

Ask the people who sit on the walls and looks really pretty or advanced. XD

Allright Turn around to your left to get this view!!

Just start walking up the hill to that arena thingy

Choose one of the portals if you wanna explore a little. :)

I chose the editors picks!

NEXT STEP!!

OKAY!! We need to go to a sandbox!!

1. So click the magnifying glass!!

2. Click websearch

3. Type in sandbox in the field and click search. (i unchecked the general and adult option to get to a decent sim!) Just choose whatever you want.

3. click the button saying TELEPORT!

TADAA!!

4. Walk away a bit from where you landed so people won't land on you.

What we gonna do next will be in the next POST!!!!

STEP 1.

So the beginning of your Second Life journey starts here!

OBVIOUSLY you will have to create an account. Click ->HERE<-

That will take you to a page that looks something like this : 

Click the orange button that says [JOIN NOW FOR FREE]

You will come to a side where you can choose your first avatar

It's pretty easy, don't put too much thought into this cause we will get your avatar to look awesome once you're in the game!

NEXT STEP!! 

Choose Name!!

1: Enter a name you want

2. Click blue button to check if it's available

3. If it IS available click the orangebutton that pops up to jump to NEXT STEP!!

(if the name isn't available you will have to keep trying)

1. Enter an email adress you can remember password to, cause if you loose your password for SL they send a mail to that adress for confirmation.

2. MAKE SURE you are truthful with your birthdate, if you write in wrong there are places you will not be able to go to!! Because of age verifications and stuff!!

3. Make sure you create a password that is tricky to figure out, and don't use a password you use for everything else.. if people figure out this password they can then access everything else if they're the same passwords!!

4. Choose a question you know you will remember the answer to if you ever lose your password or anything. It is important.

NEXT STEP!!

Here you will have to verify that you're a human!!

There will pop two words like this or differently.. Type it in EXACTLY how it's showing!!

Then Click the orange button to finish creating your account!!

You will come to a page telling you to log into your E-Mail account that you had put in..

Open the Mail and click the provided link and it will take you to this page!!

Click the orange button saying [SELECT] under the Free account, if you don't want to pay $6 every month!!

Last page you will see:
