Things about SL
Getting this update out is proving to be a problem. Not so much the large group editing as the things it is packed with. You know, everyone bundles…
Oskar Linden posted in the SL Forum about the problems with the roll out to the Magnum Release Candidate Channel. See: Large Groups Fixes LIVE on AGNI.
The short story is the roll out was rolled back Wednesday due to issues in the llSensor() function.
The Zindra Expo group carried an announcement today: NEW EVENT IF YOU OWN LAND OR BUSINESS ON ZINDRA Attention all Zindran landowners and business owners…….if you own land / business on the adult mainland, whether its a club, store, role-playing sim, etc, anything…..Zindra Expo group is planning a very special event that can benefit your … Read more
This is my first experience with the new Second Life(TM) Prohect Viewer: New #SL Project Viewer. Its just a quick look.
The CHUI Project Viewer is the standard download. The file is about 29mb.
The install places the viewer in its own program folder. The viewer has its own settings. So, you will have to run through the settings to get it the way you want.
However, my menu buttons came up just as my main SL Viewer. Which is kinda cool.
The first thing I noticed is this viewer has the problem that first clicks on doors do not appear to open the door. It opens you just don’t see it open. You can see it the second time the door opens or closes.
This change could be a problem. Kelly Linden tells us that cURL has changed and that is going to affect HTTPRequest calls coming from Linden Scripting Language (LSL).
Here is the deal. cURL is a communications and security process used by Second Life™. The cURL process has always added a no-cache parameter to all HTTP requests passing through it. In a recent update, which is now on Le Tigre, that changed. A no-cache parameter is not added. This means those using 3rd party servers to implement their breedables and other tasks may run into problems. They will have to change their queries to use HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADER in their requests.
If you have breedables or frinds that do, contact the maker or your friends and send them to this post.
There is a new blog post up announcing a new Project Viewer: 3.4.1-266120 Project Viewer CHUI. See: The Second Life Communications Hub User Interface (CHUI) Launches Today. This viewer has some new features. I suspect these are some of the features that were being held up by the 3.4.x memory leak problem, which apparently is not completely solved… and thus resulting a 14±% crash rate, which is still way down from what it was.
Pictures to follow… Look here for pictures: #SL CHUI Quick Review
This is a feature in CHUI that shows you all the conversations you have had in the last 30 days.
You probably know you can already select multiple people in your friends list and open a conference chat. A new feature now allows you to add people to the conference after it is opened.
Andrew Linden is still working on rewriting the interest list code. He says he is seeing light and should have working code soon. He hopes to have it done this week (43).
Andrew told us, “…Dan Linden noticed that the “number of objects in view” right after the login curtain comes up, in a busy region, is less in my code than server-trunk, which means that my interest list wasn’t doing as good of a job of loading initial content. But I think I’ve got that fixed, and am planning on implementing the “gradually increase camera far clip on login” behavior that some 3rd party viewers have already hacked on their end, which should help the initial login sorting.”
