#SL News 2 Week 43

by

I’ve been distracted on weekends, so I’m just getting to writing up the last of the news from last week (43). There is no great news, but there are some interesting things.

Large Group Edit

The code for this change rolled out Wednesday. It had problems and was rolled back the same day. It is however currently running on the Snack Release Candidate Channel. You can get the details of that in: Second Life Large Groups Edit Week 43.

Server Scripting Meeting Oct. 2012

Part of the reason for getting this change up and running is to get it where Third Party Viewer Developers can test their viewers against the new server code. To use the new Group Editing code on the server viewers need to change the viewer code. Getting the code on a release channels allows TPV Dev’s to get their QA people and Beta testers involved.

The Problem

The package with the Large Group Edit code had a problem with the llSenor() function. It stopped returning a sorted list of objects. The sort is on distance. Not being able to figure out what is close or far meant breedables were not able to find food or each other… you know… to breed… The lack of loving was tragic.

The problem has been fixed. So, this week (44) we should see it move into one of the main release candidate channels.

by

Getting this update out is proving to be a problem. Not so much the large group editing as the things it is packed with. You know, everyone bundles…

Oskar Linden posted in the SL Forum about the problems with the roll out to the Magnum Release Candidate Channel. See: Large Groups Fixes LIVE on AGNI.

The short story is the roll out was rolled back Wednesday due to issues in the llSensor() function.

#SL CHUI Quick Review

by

This is my first experience with the new Second Life(TM) Prohect Viewer: New #SL Project Viewer. Its just a quick look.

Download & Install

The CHUI Project Viewer is the standard download. The file is about 29mb.

The install places the viewer in its own program folder. The viewer has its own settings. So, you will have to run through the settings to get it the way you want.

However, my menu buttons came up just as my main SL Viewer. Which is kinda cool.

CHUI – Chat User Interface 10/2012 – Expanded Chat

Experience

The first thing I noticed is this viewer has the problem that first clicks on doors do not appear to open the door. It opens you just don’t see it open. You can see it the second time the door opens or closes.
