llTeleportAgent() and llTeleportAgentGlobalCoords() functions use runtime permissions for now and will use the experience tools permission system when that rolls out.

llTeleportAgent() can teleport to a local region-coord or a landmark. The landmark must be in the inventory of the object with the script calling the function. The script uses the LM’s inventory name to use it. It can be a landmark to anywhere on the grid.

llTeleportAgent( <x, y, z> ) will teleport you within the same region. But the LM can be anywhere in the grid.

Hueby says, “We created llTeleportAgentGlobalCoords to solve the problem of managing a bunch of landmarks. llTeleportAgentGlobalCoords is a little more complicated. Because our coordinate system is wonky.We have global coords for Regions and region coords within them.

To use llTeleportAgentGlobalCoords you first have to query for the global coordinates of a region…specifying the region by name.  Then the values that are returned can be passed into the function along with the region-local cords.

Mæstro says there was a ‘bug’ that you can’t use the landmark’s AssetID, but that really is out of spec.

Oskar says this package is not likely to promote to the main grid. I suspect it will be in RC for at least a couple of weeks if not longer. But, the package with the Object Rezzing Bug should move to a release channel next week.

Beta Server Meeting

STORM-1840

Baker Linden managed to ‘HALF’ fix STORM-1840 – Searching legacy names in the “Choose Resident” floater with a period returns no result. In various tasks in Second Life one needs to select or search for names in various lists. If those names have a period, the task fails. So, a name like nalates.urriah won’t work.

There are also case issues. Searching for a.last, a.Resident, a.RESIDENT, etc. should work now.

VWR-28027 – an attempt to ban an FAILED due to SL’s FAILURE to link to avatar name is a related issue.

Baker says, “it’s not really a bug. If you supply two names, the query selects on a first and last name. If you supply only one name, it selects only on a single name.” I suppose a DOT name is one name.

It seems this fix is somewhat stalled as the fix has to be on the web services side of things.

VWR-14674 is now SVC-7813

SVC-7813 – Object Return Function of Region/Estate Menu does not work.

Blurry Textures

Merov Linden was showing a fix around the Lab for those blurry textures one has to zoom in on to force rezzing to complete. Expect that to make it through QA in a few weeks. Turns out if the texture was scaled very asymmetrically (much wider than tall for example) then it would typically not reach full clarity.

SVC-4444

SVC-4444 – Objects become fully permissive when rezzed under certain conditions. Baker is working on this one.
