Second Life and Virtual Worlds
People are losing inventory. In most cases restarts or inventory list cache clears resolve the problem. But…
A couple of weeks ago the Lab asked for people to report their issues with inventory loss. They got good feedback. Now they are working to fix the problems they found via the feedback.
Slink hands and feet got a new update. This update changes how various appliers work with the hands and feet. This is the announcement:
-{ZOZ}- IMPORTANT UPDATE
Monday,02 Mar 2015 15:38:00 GMT
As some may know, Slink released a big update to their hands and feet. This also means that designers have also had an update. In order to use the NEW POLISH HUDS you must UPDATE YOUR HANDS AND FEET. If you have hands or feet older then this last weekend, be sure to go in and have them redelivered to you so the new polish appliers for slink hands and feet work. Yes old huds will work with the new hands. But new huds will not work with old hands. ~Zoz
Shug Maitland wrote What Does Second Life Need? I like that she thinks. Now she has me thinking.
A recent article of Inara’s got Shug thinking. All signs are that SL1, our current Second Life, and what I call SL2, the new virtual world Linden Lab is building, will run simultaneously. Shug’s question is can SL1 compete with SL2? Good question.
I’ve heard and read lots of opinions. But, few include why they hold their opinion.
Shug and many of the rest of us agree we need a better avatar, Avatar 2.0. The starter avatars we have now are probably the direction the Lab will go with SL2. The skeleton, skin, and animation will likely all get better.
Second Life Wiki is editable now. That changed a week or so ago. But, in the process we lost a lot of newer wiki pages. Plus lots of people were waiting to update information on various subjects in the wiki. So, far the last few days I’ve seen a lot of activity in the wiki. In the last 24 hours about 600 pages have been added or edited.
Release Notes for the Experience Tools Viewer (3.8.0-298001) popped back up today. The page includes a link for the viewer.
In progress for over a year the Experience Tools are nearing a first release. The Lab has now made an announcement: Manage Experiences with a New Release Candidate Viewer.
The video is from 6 months ago. There are live ‘Experiences’ you can visit. (Experiences) The announcement moves thing into the Beta stage.
You need to be able to explain what you plan to do with an Experience Key to get one.
There is also a Project Viewer that goes along with the Beta: Experience Viewer version 3.7.23.297364. Download
For more information from the user side see Inara’s article: Lab issues Experience Keys release candidate viewer.
I have a bit of time to write today. RL is still busy with work and holiday related stuff. I can confirm that Adobe’s latest release of Dreamweaver is way buggy when one tries to use their new fluid ‘LIVE’ design features. It appears Adobe is moving away from Dreamweaver and toward their new Adobe Edge.
I’m not sure how many of my readers use the SL Wiki. I suspect even fewer add to its content. Those of us that do contribute to the wiki content have been blocked for some time. The SL Wiki is no longer user editable. Few Lindens can edit it.
Months ago some socially dysfunctional people started vandalizing the wiki. The Lindens locked it down to stop the vandalism.
