MoDesign Total Submission Clit Piercing

Dear Customers,

I am happy to announce the release of the first new Total Submission product with greatly upgraged features!

Contents of this newsletter are:

• NEW: MoDesign Clit Ruby of Total Submission
• Comming Soon: Total Submission update
• BUGFIX: MoDesign Global Leash
• Fetish Hospital looking for staff

Yours, Mo

MoDesign Clit Ruby of Total Submission

Control your sub from the point where she hosts her mind. Leash her if needed.

Attach a ruby piercing at your subs clit to control her body & mind.
The piercing comes in 2 version, one with but a clit ring, and a
Plus-Version with 2 additional labia rings.

The color of the ruby can be changed and you can attach various sets of decorating chains to the piercings in various colors.


This is the first product with new Total Submission scripts. Script count and memory usage is cut in half, features are doubled!

The MoDesign Total Submission items give you most detailed control about RLV features, and even more! They are not RLV relays. They are native RLV controls! All settings are relog secure. No way for the sub to get rid of restrictions.


Your present Total Submission items cant be updated to the new features, at this point, but I am eager to offer an update, that will give you most of the new features.

Coming Soon

I am working on the release of a major update of the total Submission scripts.
It will just use about half of the original memory footprint, but supply about twice
the features. So stay tuned ;)

Bugfix: Global Leash

The Global Leash is a leash that will make your sub follow you, even when you use teleporters or when you teleport to an other sim. This is most convenient for your shopping tours or any other grand day out. :)

I released a bugfix for all MoDesign products that come with a (Global) Leash. At present, this are:
- MoDesign Cuffs
- MoDesign Armbinder
- MoDesign Clit Ruby of Total Submission

The present leash has an issue with teleporting the sub to former locations, if you have ever used the global leash. Thank you Urd for the heads up and reporting this issue.

The update should fix it and the leash should work perfectly well again. If you still find any issue, please let me know, wo I can take care. :)

Restrained Love Viewer 1.23.0 for the Mac

RLV 1.23 for Mac is available.

RestrainedLife is now called Restrained Love. This is due to new rules introduced by Linden Labs. The old RestrainedLife viewer will no longer work, as LL will block it at April 30th.

Download at eRestaint
Download at Rapidshare (backup)

This version is a universal binary and should work with ppc and intel

Changes:
Compliant to the new LL viewer rules.

Update: Total Submission

A minor major update of the Total Submission scripts is available.
New with this update:

• Compatible with additional attachment points
  (e.g. supported by the Emerald viewer)
  This is the most compelling part of the updade.
  The Attachment Lock plugin now supports all new attachment points that come with the Emerald viewer. To be able to still handle the number of 70 attachment points, the user interface was redesigned to give you fast and easy access.
  
• Attachment Lock: Lock-Groups
  - lock groups of attachments with one click
  - change attachments (and clothing) with #RLV Folders, even if the attachments are locked
• Improved user interface of #RLv Folders and Attachment Lock
• Integration of Web Help to many plugins
  The in world help will open the help web page. The web tutorials are easier to read and understand, as it is possible to add pictures and screen shots.
  
• Improved compatibility with RLv Wear command option (reattach on detach of locked items)
  

Get your update at the MoDesign shop.

What viewer do you use?

Yea. I was beginning to wonder what viewer you use. There are so many options:
- Standard viewer
- CoolViewer
- Emerald
- or others
All with or without RLv enabeled..

I opened a poll at my Tutorials page. Please feel so inclined to take a minute to give your vote.

- a no-mod object which name contains the name of an attach pt would use it prior to its parent folder one

RestrainedLife - How to install

[This information is for Mac users only!]

The latest viewer is available at Rapidshare [download].
Learn more about RestrainedLife (including Troubleshooting FAQ)


How to install the viewer:
The viewer is as easy to install as the original viewer:

1. Download the latest version
2. Unpack it / unzip it
3. Click the RestrainedLife viewer icon to launch
   You may want to drag the icon to your Applications folder and / or the Dock, though.
   

How to improve the graphic performance:
To improve graphics you should use the commercial graphics library libllkdu.dylib. (You might remember my old blog article about that.)

1. Download the RestrainedLive viewer [download] and install it.
   
2. Download the corresponding official SecondLife viewer (same SL release number) and install it. [download]
   
3. Open the content of the official viewer application and browse for Contents/Resources/libllkdu.dylib
   
4. Copy that libllkdu.dylib to the same location into your RestrainedLife application.

Your RestrainedLife viewer should now use the commercial library.


Crashes during log in
If you crash when you try to log in, please set the viewer to English language:

1. Launch RestrainedLife viewer
2. Press CMD-P to open the Properties menu
3. Set language to English
4. Apply
5. Quit the viewer and restart it.
   

What about PPC Versions?
Unfortunately, since SL v1.21 I sometimes have problems to compile the viewer as universal binary or PPC. Please refer the download links about PPC versions.


How to set the viewer to RestrainedLife mode:
If you don't use the original RestrainedLife viewer but the Cool viewer, it is possible that the viewer is not set to RestrainedLife mode when you launch it for the first time. If this is the case:

1. Go to Preferences
2. Choose the Cool features tab
3. Check RestrainedLife mode
   
4. Restart the viewer
   → it will now launch in RestrainedLife mode

If your RestrainedLife viewer does not show the Cool features tab, you can skip these steps, for you don't use the Cool viewer.

The Cool viewer for the Mac is provided by Hyang.

It is in an experimental state, but seems to work.
You can download it at Rapidshare.

Restraint Life Logo

Lyssa Daehlie contacted me about the usage of the RestraintLife logo - especially about the usage of the SL-hand.

- And she is right.

After a short research I found the Trademark FAQ in the SL Knowlegdebase.

Refering to that, #16 is the kind of critical issue.:

16. May I use the Second Life Hand Logo to identify my inworld products and/or services?
Only after getting specific authorization from Linden Research. Such authorization may be requested by emailing our licensing inquiry department. Any use after such authorization will be subject to the License available here.

So. It seems but ok to use the logo for the free viewer, but we have no approval to use that logo with in world products.

I took the SL-hand for the logo from the GPL sources, thinking it is open source / common license. Which it is not, as it seems to turn out (referring to #12 of the FAQ).

So, what can be done?
1. I wrote an email to Linden Lab, asking for permission to use that logo.
2. If they disagree, we are in need of an other logo that does not use any SL symbols

Email to Linden Labs:

From: Mo.Noel

Subj.: To: licensing inquiry department - Subject: Usage of Linden Lab Logo
Datum: Wed, 26. Mar 2008 10:22:09 +0100

Dear Madam or Sir,

I am participating in maintaining the Alternate Viewer 'Marine Edition' (http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Alternate_viewers#Marine_Edition) more known as 'RestrainedLife viewer'.

It is used by residents that enjoy a more 'real' BDSM experience in their Second Life and is very popular in this community. (http://modesign-faq.blogspot.com/search/label/Topic%3A%20Restrained%20Life)

I have created a icon/logo for that viewer so residents can easily determine RestraintLife compatible in world products. It has already spread by itself and is used by many people in world.

The logo is made of a padlock and the Second Life hand logo - as a symbol for a more locked up second life.
The Secondlife Logo itself is not altered. It is but layed on the padlock symbol, so it will not violate the terms of your Trademark FAQ.
The usage should be free of any charge, for the viewer is open source and free as well.
Nevertheless I noticed, the community still needs approval about "May I use the Second Life Hand Logo to identify my inworld products and/or services?"

Therefore I would like to ask your specific authorization if it is ok to use the SL-logo for that purpose.
A: Usage to identify the Alternate viewer.
B: Usage to identify compatible products (whether they are freebies or not)

(It only makes sense if A and B is granted - if that is not possible, we will use an other logo)

If you disagree, I will spread word about that and stop using that logo. - But I would also know why you disagree. It was never my intention to violate any of your terms and copyrights. I made the logo but out of pure enthusiasm about Second Life and it's possibilities.

I have attached a zip file showing the logo.


If you have more questions about that, please don't hesitate to ask.

I am looking forward for your answer, hoping it is a positive one.



With kind regards,

Mo Noel.



PS: If you disagree, please don't punish me for my favor about Second Life.

Trademark FAQ

The following are some frequently asked questions about Linden Lab trademarks and their usage, including answers.

1. What's the purpose of these FAQs?
This document sets out to answer the common questions which arise about the use of the Linden Trademarks and Logos. While we have made certain code to the Second Life virtual world available at no charge, we strictly enforce our trademark rights. Because of the nature of trademarks, we must enforce our rights in order to keep them valid. This means that, while you have considerable freedom to redistribute and modify elements of our software, there are tight restrictions on your ability to use the Linden and Second Life names and logos, even when built into binaries that we provide.

2. What are the Linden Trademarks and Logos?
The Linden trademarks include, among others, the names Linden, Linden Lab, Linden Research, and Second Life, as well as the Linden Lab Hexagon Design and the Second Life Hand Design logos.

3. Can I distribute any of the Linden viewer software from my website, by CD, or to my friends, employees or students?
Yes.

4. May I download one copy and install the viewer software on lots of machines in my company, school, etc.?
Sure. The Second Life virtual world viewer software is free and open, and there are no fees or notification requirements other than those contained in the GPL.

5. Can I use screenshots of Second Life in my materials?
Yes.

6. May I have high-resolution copies of the logos?
Yes, you can find hi-rez logos here: http://static.secondlife.com/downloads/logos.zip. These logos may not be altered in any way.

7. May I make products like t-shirts or computer wallpaper with the logo on?
Sure, if it's just for you, or if it's for others and no money or other consideration changes hands (although see the question about high-res versions). If you plan to sell merchandise for money or other consideration of value, you must first receive permission from Linden Lab.

8. May I alter the Second Life Hand Logo in some way and use the new logo to identify my inworld products and/or services?
No -- such alteration would violate the copyright in the logo, and its use would violate the trademark rights if the altered mark were confusingly similar to the original logo.

9. May I alter the Second Life Hand Logo in some way and use the new logo to identify my products and/or services that are related to the Second Life world?
No -- again, such alteration would violate the copyright in the logo, and its use would violate the trademark rights if the altered mark were confusingly similar to the original logo.

10. The logos themselves are the trademark, but the actual logo files are in the domain of copyright. You could release the files under an open source license while maintaining trademark rights. Why don't you do that?
Because it would gain nothing, and lead to far more infringing uses of our marks. In practice, there is no use for the files except as expressions of our trademarks, so the rights associated with an open source license don't add anything.

11. Doesn't having trademark restrictions contravene the principles of free software?
No. Many free software licenses explicitly exclude rights to trademarks, and so trademark restrictions on otherwise free software are accepted by the community. We are using our trademarks as a mark of quality to protect consumers -- we think this is very much within the principles of free software.

12. Isn't having the logo files under a different license incompatible with the GPL?
No -- because the logo files are not part of the program itself (e.g., the Second Life virtual world), they are simply data used by that program, and changing the logo data has absolutely no effect on the functional use of the program. We therefore believe that licensing of the logo files themselves is outside the scope of any GPL terms that might be applied to other Linden source files.

13. May I use the term SECOND LIFE to identify my inworld products and/or services?
Yes, subject to the License available here.

14. Can I use "secondlife" in a url describing my business or project?
If you want to include all or part of a Linden trademark in a domain name, you have to receive written permission from Linden. People naturally associate domain names with organizations whose names sound similar. Almost any use of a Linden trademark in a domain name is likely to confuse consumers, thus running afoul of the overarching requirement that any use of a Linden trademark be non-confusing.

15. May I use the term SECOND LIFE to identify my products and/or services that are not offered inworld, but that relate to the Second Life world, such as fan-sites, blogs, etc.?
Yes, subject to the License available by writing licensing at lindenlab.com

16. May I use the Second Life Hand Logo to identify my inworld products and/or services?
Only after getting specific authorization from Linden Research. Such authorization may be requested by emailing our licensing inquiry department. Any use after such authorization will be subject to the License available here.

17. May I use the Second Life Hand Logo to identify products and/or services that are not offered inworld, but that relate to the Second Life world, such as fan-sites, blogs, etc.?
Only after getting specific authorization from Linden Research. Such authorization may be requested by emailing our licensing inquiry department. Any use after such authorization will be subject to the License available here.

Restrained Life: 1st Anniversary

Restrained Life FAQ

I added a short Restrained Life FAQ at my MoDesign FAQ Blog.

New Product: AttachOnRez

UPDATE:
This product is no longer available and no longer needed.
See also RestrainedLife Troubleshooting the section about wearing attachments.
--
Are you using the Restrained Life viewer?
Have you ever had issues, not knowing where to attach your attachments?
Have you ever had trouble when you chose the wrong attachment point?
Have you ever messed up your well adjusted attachments with that?

Not any more.

Attachments with AttachOnRez installed will attach themselves to
the last attachment point used with that particular attachment.
AttachOnRez is Restrained Life compatible.
Restrained Life locked attachments will not get detached.

But of course this tool is handy with but any attachment, not only cuffs,
so use it with your jewellery, your clothing, any attachemt you have.

To learn more about, have a look at the detailed instructions.
