Today word came that the central region of NoR named Remembrance came back on line. It isn’t the same build. But, it has the same name.
More to come… but not tonight.

AvaStar News Week 39
Gaia Clary is working to release an improved AvaStar 1.6 in October of this year. (Reference) An ‘Alpha’ version has been available since June. (Ref) But, it is not recommended for production or new users. The change is Gaia trying to get a better work flow for fitted mesh creation.
People are becoming more interested in working with the various mesh bodies. I’m doubting Gaia can do much that is specific to any private brand of mesh body or would want to. I don’t see a necessity to try. We are building better polygon layouts than the classic avatar’s. So, our weighting will be better and likely unique. Plus we will have polygon layouts that vary from the various mesh bodies as the bodies use different layouts. But, if we have good layout and weights, our stuff is going to work well with most bodies mesh or classic.
nPose V2 RC1 Available
According to a chat group announcement, the nPose-V2 RC1 and demos are available at nPose HQ (map URL).

It is a nice sunny day so everything is outside.
You gotta try out that piano, remember the sound clips are only 10 seconds long and doesn’t miss a beat.
All plugins have been tested and are up to their jobs. Props and TempAttach plugins have changed.

Second Life Servers Week 39
Frustrating but, I don’t know what the roll back last week was about. That we have a roll out to the main channel this week is surprising. But, we do.
The main channel is to get a new package. This has:
- BUG-9683 “Feature Request: llGetAttachedList() – returns a list of root keys of all visible attachments worn by an agent.”
- BUG-9891 “[Feature Request] – llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_CLICK_ACTION”
Neither of these functions are appearing in the wiki yet.
RC Channels
Blue Steel, La Tigre, and Magnum are to get the same new package. This will apparently be the package that retries the internal fixes to improve inventory performance.
NoR Drama Continues
Civil people often forget how many abusive and sick people there are in the world. Haters, liars, and schemers are everywhere. We see them in Second LifeTM. It appears they have struck at the NoR team. But, it is hard to sort out drama. Amid the memorials for NoR players passing in RL and the confusion over the loss of 9 regions we hear:
Update…

We lost Candygurl Bing… Apparently a LL ticket was submitted Against Candy in regards of fraud and LL blocked her account. Though this is easily debunked, With the constant BS being spread on every possible occasion of staff being corrupt she decided this was the last drop, resigned and will not fight her LL block.
We however, will continue with the procedure to transfer Remembrance to me, with the odd chance LL will block me as well. Donations so far have been transferred to NoRBank just in case.
Bizarre Obscure
We don’t have trials in Second Life or rules of evidence. The Lab looks at complaints and makes the best call they can with the limited time and information they have. It isn’t life or death… so, support people can lose touch with the individual emotional impact on players. It is another example why many of us believe small communities are better. Large government and other bureaucracies are insensitive to individual situations and needs.
Unless you know the people, you have little chance of knowing who is telling the truth. What we decide to do with what we hear reveals our nature. Pick a side? Judge? Give up and ignore it all…
Finding a positive and caring position is often challenging. Not so much because it is difficult. But, our personalities, ego’s, biases, and prejudices get in our way and we jump to conclusions rather than think or search for the truth.
