Second Life and Virtual Worlds
This release has some fixes and changes. See: Black Dragon Viewer – Update 2.4.4.5 “Going Places”. My take is lots of things added in the last release were broken but fixed in this release.
Avatar Complexity Information is working. Every developer seems to have some problems with this feature. I think the Lab’s problems were the source. But, it seems to be getting cleaned up in general and it sounds like NiranV has it cleaned up in this release.
I suspect many of us that use the Preview Grid have avoided changing passwords because changing complicates our access to the Preview Grid (ADITI). I’ve changed mine and filed a trouble ticket to get my ADITI password sync’d up with my AGNI (main grid) password.
Others are running into the problem. I guess it is enough people that the Lindens decided it was time to do something. See: Some may experience login problems to the Beta grid. We are on it. 12/15/2015.
We don’t get much scripting news in Second Life™ these days. There is Project Sansar which will use C#, which I think dampens the enthusiasm for working on LSL (Linden Scripting Language). But, this little piece of news popped up on SLUniverse: LibLSLCC – Replacement for LSL editor, lsl to C# converter.
If you’re interested drop by and say thanks. If you’ve tried it out, drop by and give it a review.
The converter is here: Github: EriHoss/LibLSLCC. Scroll down for more information. For those just wanting the executable: LibLSLCC & LSLCCEditor Build.
I’m not scripting. Nothing I’m doing needs a script just now. So, it may be some time before I get to it.
This week we saw a roll to the main channel and will see a new package go into RC channels Wednesday.
The main channel got the maintenance release with Crash Fixes and BUG-10192 – Feature Request: llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_OMEGA.
The Ghost Town is a free-to-play MadPea game. Canary Beck is writing about it. See: Merchants: A chance to get out in front of new Second Life residents, which is a comment on marketing.
MadPea needs merchants to provide prizes… gifts… for a hunt that is part of the game. For details see Canary’s article.
…and this video has nothing to do with anything, I just thought it was neat.
Canary also has an article on body shape, men’s and women’s. How men and women draw up the “perfect body” in Second Life. Interesting.
There hasn’t been much server news. Last week no updates rolled out as QA had found problems. Nor was there a roll-out to the main grids primary channel this week as the RC channel packages were having problems.
This week we did get a roll-out to the RC channels. All three channels are getting the same package. That roll-out came Wednesday.
The package is a maintenance release. The release notes tell us the package consists of crash-fixes and a fix for BUG-10192 Feature Request: llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_OMEGA.
It is hard to tell if little is actually going on or there is secret stuff going on.
