FINDING SCRIPT ATTACHMENTS

How to quickly find what scripted attachments you are wearing, and where they are attached.

So you've been asked to remove some scripts at a venue to reduce lag, or you just want to keep your script count as low as possible. How do you find what exactly you have on that is heavily scripted?

Sure you could right click and choose script info on each attachment you're wearing but that can be a little slow and some attachments are hidden.

There is a quick and easy way to find out right in your viewer that a lot of people don't know about.


SCRIPT 1A
Start by opening about land. You can do this a few ways depending on what options you have enabled in the viewer. If uoi have the Navigation Bar enabled you can click on the land button.

If you have the Location showing in the Menu Bar you can click on that.
Regardless of your settings you can open it through the World Menu by clicking on Parcel Details.


SCRIPT2A
Once you have About Land open be sure you are on the General tab you'll see a Script Info button on the bottom left.

Clicking on that will open the Script Information window. It will open on the Region Memory tab which can be handy for land owners or those with land rights.

The information you see depends on your rights to the parcel you're inspecting:

If you are the estate owner or an estate manager, each individual object in the region is listed:

Total memory used for the entire region.
Total number of URLs used and available for the entire region.

If you are the parcel owner, or have object return powers for the parcel through a group, individual objects on all parcels in the region owned by the owner of the parcel being inspected are listed:

Total memory used for all objects on all parcels in the region that are owned by the owner of the parcel.
Total URLs used and available for all objects on all parcels in the region owned by the owner of the parcel.

Otherwise, no individual objects are listed:

The top gives some basic information about the region and script usage in it:

Number of parcels
Total memory used
Number of URLs used (the term URL here does not just refer to streaming video like YouTube, but also to scripts that use HTTP to communicate with other objects, such as, for example, some scripted vending systems.)

You can click on any column header to sort the list.

Size (kb): Indicates how much memory is used by the script(s) in the object.
URLs: Indicates how many URL(s) the object is using.
Object Name: Name of the scripted object.
Object Owner: Name of the object's owner.
Parcel: Name of the parcel on which the object is located.

Refresh List: Self explanatory.
Return: Immediately return the selected object to its owner; there is no confirmation request, so be careful!
Highlight: Displays a beacon showing the location of the selected object.


SCRIPT3A
Click on the Avatar tab and you'll will see a list of all scripted attachments that you are wearing, along with the size of the scripts in them and where they are attached to your avatar.

Size (kb): Indicates how much memory is used by the script(s) in the object.
URLs: Indicates how many URL(s) the object is using.
Object Name: Name of the scripted object.
Location: Name of the object's attachment point.

From there simply open your inventory to the worn tab and take the offending object(s) off.
Alternatively if the object is copy and mod you can make a copy of it, then working on the copy not the original, remove the scripts from it (Build Menu, Scripts sub-menu, Remove scripts from selection)
