Second Life Servers Week 39

by

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

by

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…

Monday,21 Sep 2015 16:28:13 GMT

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.

nPose News

by

In Second Life we need poses and animations for furniture, vehicles, and on and on. The program nPose is one of the more popular tools for loading poses into things without having to use pose balls. Now there is a new release of the popular nPose program coming.

The official announcement:

Special Announcement

Wednesday,16 Sep 2015 02:12:43 GMT

With all these new features to come in the next release, it just isn’t possible to offer a clean upgrade path as has always been the case before.  We have come too far to look back now so this next release will be considered the beginning of nPose-V2.

What this really means is that existing builds will need more attention if you decide to update them to nPose-V2.  All plugins will have to be verified as V2 compatible.

The Great News is the groundwork for the first nPose-V2 has already been done.

Thanks All

What is going on with NoR?

by

Yesterday I got the content of NoR Management’s main message published. There were questions asked and answered at the meeting. Since this is a free form spontaneous DARK role play (RP) game (RPG) taking place in a post apocalyptic world with combat, demons, angles, vampires, lycans, humans and more mixed together…  there is drama, in and out of character. And the meeting did devolve into drama as most RP things do. But, we did get some answers to questions.

NoR Regions 2012
NoR Regions 2012

There are always those that have an issue with a game’s moderators and managers. NoR is no exception. Plus there are those that have left a game for whatever reason with some rage quitting, that have an axe to grind. Often those, people go to other games or even start other games. Even NoR is an example of such a split. A disagreement with the makers of previous Game Meters lead to NoR being formed to use a different style and brand of meter.

NoR Meeting

by

Many of us have played in NoR over the years. If you follow me you know the 9 regions that make up the NoR world shut down. We got a little bit of the story behind the shut down. But, if you have dealt with Linden Lab you something doesn’t sound right about the explanation given. Today we got the rest of the story.

Today at noon SL Time there was a meeting for Norians. I got there early and managed not to crash. So, I got a transcript of the meeting. Voice chat is not a part of NoR role play so it is expected that the meeting would be in chat.

SL being SL the main speaker couldn’t make it into SL.

[2015/09/18 12:10]  LONBot: Biz is unable to login at the moment, seems she is “unable to connect to a simulator”  but this will do just as well.

I’m not sure who LONBot is or who was running the avatar. Whatever, LONBot has the story. I’ll clean up the chat so it is easier to read. From what is said there is the possibility this was Biz, but other comments make me think not.
