SL BUG-204

by

BUG-204 – Detaching animated object stops sit animation and throws the avi into the air.

Example of Problem from SL JIRA
Example of Problem from SL JIRA

Description – Using the same scripts I have used in many other dining sets over almost 5 years, now when I detach a glass or fork containing an eating animation, the sit animation not only stops, but the avi suddenly pops up above the chair, in a seated position.

According to Monty Linden (reference) this and related bugs are being worked on.

Quote: There is work underway on animations and avatars so if anything anomalous is happening; it’s in your best interest to report a bug via Jira.  Gather up as much supporting information as you can and follow the outline here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Bug_Tracker

So, if you are seeing problems and have more information, file a JIRA report.

We have new Beta and Development Viewer releases out.

The current beta viewer is: 3.5.1 (274264) Beta. This one has some changes;

  • Merge Sunshine Beta 2 crash fixes
  • Bulk Delete on Unassociated Inventory results in Error message
  • Bulk Delete does not work on Unassociated Inventory if listing exists
  • Crash on shutdown in logMetricsTimerRecord()
  • CLONE – [crashhunters] crash in LLViewerObject::processTaskInvFile
  • SH-4063 User does not see their update to hover state, but other users do
  • SH-4056 Changes to hover state show before saving shape but then not after while still in editing mode
  • SH-4060 Setting hover to a low value causes it to be set to an even lower value.
  • SH-3331 LLCore::HttpOpRequest::readCallback warning in secondlife.log after ViewerAssetMetrics sent
  • SUN-63 Avatar sits in the air if set “Hover 100” and click “Sit here” on the ground
  • CHUI-872 [CHUIBUG]Torn off chats with message panel hidden sometimes disappear after entering and exiting mouselook
  • SH-4099 Avatar sits in the air if set “Hover 100” and click “Sit here” on the ground

The Development Viewer is: 3.5.2 (274345) Development. There are no published release notes, as it really hasn’t been released.

The Materials Viewer is still build: 274082. Be careful with this viewer. It can possibly mess up existing content. Users have reported it is reasonably reliable and usable. A couple of people use it as their everyday viewer. But, that does not mean they have done everything you may try to do.

As always use these at your own risk. If you have a problem that is unbearable, one of these viewers may have the fix for it.

CHUIBUG-191 – This JIRA item is about problems entering Japanese characters in the new CHUI input field. That is being worked on. Oz Linden thinks the team may need some help with testing the fixes. If you use Japanese and would like to help, file a bug report in the CHUIBUG part of the JIRA.

Materials Project Viewer

We are getting more releases of the Project’s viewer. There are more releases than what one sees on the Wiki page. Oz tells us that the other releases found via the latest.html page may not be a good choice for users. These may be copies of a viewer that has not yet made it through the QA process. Once the viewer passes QA Oz posts a link to it on Alternate Viewers. This should be the viewer you use for testing. I have links to both channels in the left column here. The untested version may be a problem for you, the user.

If you have not read my article Oculus Rift in Second Life, check it out, these tie together. Drax has a new episode of his World Builders series out: Fantasy Faire/RFL. (5 minutes).

Zander Green is talking in most of this video. This is about Fantasy Fair and Relay for Life fund raising. Zander sees SL as a fund rasier’s dream come true. I am waiting for someone to figure out how to combine SL and a some form of a Kickstarter system.

I think the first three have been inspirational. This one knocks it up a notch. If you think so, visit YouTube and LIKE the video. If you are on Facebook, SHARE the video. Give him a hand.
