UnityCore RP/Combat Meter Coming to #SL

…o regions, it’s not part of your IC RP story and the testing is considered OOC. That allows players to easily talk about the meter. Getting the Meter Use the World Map to teleport to Remembrance to get a meter. This one is free. You will see the blue and gray dispensers. Click and wait for delivery.

Hogwarts Comes to Second Life

…ry is more like acting in a movie and the cooperative script is written in OOC sessions. Players agree on the outcome of combat before the IC play. Metered RP uses a meter and magic system or combat system to decide the outcome of spells or combat. The outcome has a skill or strategy component and the outcome is decided during IC play. In this later case the IC story is more like impromptu acting. As I understand Hogwarts:Your Story has decided th… Continue reading

Gemini Viewer Review – Second Life

…one does not miss it. Shift-Enter in chat does a whisper. Alt-Enter does ((OOC chat style)). But be careful, Ctrl-Alt-Enter changes the screen resolution. The first time you mess that up you will likely think you crashed. The Gemini Viewer also shows you who is using Emerald or Gemini. The viewer seems at bit faster and gives a tiny bit better FPS results. But, that could just be SL at the particular times I have been looking. I’ve had Emerald cra… Continue reading

Singularity 1.5.3 Viewer Review

…rences… guess I need to go read. Chat has vertical tabs, which I like. The OOC stuff is a bit odd. Smilies trigger it… but I guess that is to be expected. Summary I played with this viewer most of Saturday. I visited Dance Island and Fermi sandboxes. If the viewer was going to leak memory and/or crash these two locations would push it over the edge. I survived and good FPS even when Fermi was lagging 0.3 Sim FPS. I looked like I was in slow motion… Continue reading

Experience I don’t have time to use the viewer much right now. The little bit I have gotten to use it, it seems fine. I’ll add more here after I get to use it m… Continue reading

Emerald Viewer 1.4.0.2439 Released – Review

…owned on. Another feature that has been around for awhile is Auto complete OOC comments. In role play one uses text surrounded by (( and )) to indicate it is ‘real’ chat and not the role play character speaking. [Misc] A new one you may not notice, but one that could be a big hit, Mute Gestures. The idea is it mutes other people’s gestures so you can avoid the chat spam. Another handy feature that has been around is: Always rez objects under the l… Continue reading
