…periencing, which seems to have started in December or January. Some think EEP is causing the disconnects. EEP is coincidental with the disconnects. The current analysis of the problem suggests it is in the TCP communication between the viewers and servers. In the March 29, Third-Party Dev UG meeting Oz talks about the problem and why it took the Lindens so long to notice. Video Basically, the problem is not showing in the performance stats the Li… Continue reading
…that fixing the backend blocker is a high priority for reasons beyond just EEP. The EEP code is available to Third-Party devs. Presumably that are looking at the code and thinking about implementing it. Oz Linden said, “… once we’ve gotten that fixed, we’ll deploy the backends that it depends on (simulator and inventory at least), and then put out a Project Viewer. My hope/expectation is that the Project stage will go well and we’ll get feedback q… Continue reading
Penny Patton has a new written EEP tutorial out about how to use the Enhanced Environment Project, the Windlight update, on your land. She uses the Black Dragon viewer in her tutorial for the source of the illustrations. Most viewers have the exact same panels for setting up the environment. So, the only problem for Firestorm and other viewer users is getting the initial About Land panel open. About Land allows you to edit the parcel’s environmen… Continue reading
…n any of the Deploy posts. Improvements to region operations Complementary EEP fixes (Requires latest EEP Viewer) 2019-09-06T18:49:52.530700Sep 10 – This version still appears on the release notes page. It was intended for rollout last week. Viewers This week we get a surprise RC viewer, Ordered Shutdown, to reduce crashes on exit. If you have problems getting Preference settings to stick, you may be crashing on exit. To know, start the viewer, ma… Continue reading
…Inara’s ‘Paving the Way’ is acknowledgment this version has adaptions for EEP & BoM. The Firestorm testing peeps will know. I am guessing this 6.2.4 version runs with EEP & BoM but has those features disabled. Once EEP and/or BoM release I expect a quick release of a FS Viewer with those features. I am in the process of deciding if the change in FS render of Windlight™ is me and my Win-10 update to 1903 or the change to 6.2.4. Whichever, somethin… Continue reading
…s and ONLY this channel. This adds a considerable number of regions to the EEP version. Previously only the Snack or Cake channels ran EEP, a few regions. So, way more testing now. I think this update has the fix for legacy viewers, as in non-EEP capable viewers, being stuck at noon when in Blue Steel regions. Now the day should progress. Le Tigre and Magnum are running version #19.02.01.523959. This package is listed as Internal Changes… Seems Ca… Continue reading
…ng back. EEP is not changing wind or the effect of wind on flexi-prims. No EEP settings for wind. 23:30 – General EEP status update. Rider says things moving well. There is a ‘blocker’ on the backend. Working to clear. Once cleared Rider will have the server changes in QA within hours. Once QA clears the server we will get a Project Viewer. 26:10 – Size limits… prom sizes, animesh, and mesh sizes… Vir says the 64m size limit is not changing. Vir a… Continue reading
…of the main grid servers, something near 20% of the grid. See my Using the EEP Viewer – Second Life. The lindens are sounding anxious to get EEP and BoM out. Both are still in project status. We will hopefully see these move to RC status sooooon. A maintenance viewer is in QA. We are likely to see it next week. Oz Linden is expecting one of the viewers, maybe BugSplat, to become the default viewer next week. The move to Visual Studio 2017 is proce… Continue reading
