Second Life and Virtual Worlds
I found some things I didn’t know… If these are new to you, the tips should make it easier to find things. Now… if they just worked on SL searches… (the site: trick does, but not as handy as I would like.)
I am using Medhue’s video for my index. He has one of the new 21:9 ratio screens. So, you’ll likely see a big letterbox display like I see on my 16:9 screen. Medhue streams the meeting live. The resulting video gets saved as 720p video, which is fuzzy if you take it full screen.
00:00 – Medhue setting up and getting the stream going.
03:30 – Vir Linden says they are submitting a project viewer to QA soon. Provided they do not find something horribly wrong, we will soon have a project viewer. I think there is a good possibility we will see a viewer in October… if things go well.
04:00 – Vir is working on transform matrices for attached animesh. He feels he has it to the place users can start helping with the testing. So, a project viewer will soon release.
Transform matrices are about how the animesh’s vertices get moved as the avatar moves and the animesh animates.
The main channel is being restarted and updated with version #17.09.14.508549. The updated is described in the release notes as; Improvements to address some problems that could degrade simulator performance in rare cases. I think these are the fixes for some of the recovery problems we see after the SL system goes down. Users attempting to login in mass after an outage create a rare and unique set of problems for the system.
Blue Steel and Le Tigre are possibly going to update, but maybe not. As of this morning as I write the Lindens have not decided.
Magnum is getting #17.09.22.508905. This is an update described as; Improvements to email verification logic. My understanding is a hand comes out of the screen, grabs you by the neck and shakes you, then compares your face to the one DMV has on file… The improvement is in the system response message being updated from ‘Yeah, it’s them’ to a stately ‘Verified’.
…Actually… I have no clue… But, from the Server-Scripting meeting today the word is this is part of the change that will eventually refuse to send email to unverified email addresses. For now, they are still sending. But, someday.
There also have been some glitches with the Glytch creatures. I suspect lots of people are playing the new game. So, this may be an overload thing.
It will be interesting to see if stores start adding Glytches to their regions to attract people.
The Persian Lesbian Club is changing. They are going straight… NOT. Don’t be gullible. But, they are changing membership control and access to the club. So, if you are a member or just a HAWT female and are curious, you better join now. Dear Club Members, Persian Lesbian Palace Club has changed a lot lately. … Read more
Another RC release is out. This one fixes a couple of bugs. I just barely got RC-14 installed. I have yet to get to play with it. Check your Products Page to download a copy.
