Second Life News 2016 w46

2016/11/15 by Nalates Urriah

The main channel of servers updated today, starting at 3AM SL Time, according to the grid status notices. That is the time of day with the fewest users. My tracker shows the minimum number of concurrent users is between 2 and 4 AM each day, about 19,000 to 25,000 this year. Peak use is about 2 to 3 PM and 2 to 3 times as many people, averaging about 55,000 in 2016 and peaking at 58,153.

This update ran on the RC channels last week. It contains some changes to the scripting language, a bug fix, and minor internal changes.

There is no new update for the RC channels, probably next week.

Second Life Changes

This past few days playing in Second Life™ I’ve been exploring. The LEA regions are impressive. Of course, the Halloween regions have been fun.

Second Life: Strange Windlight Setting

Kitsune Shan has an interesting video on Facebook. LINK – WordPress doesn’t know what to do with Facebook video… there is probably a plugin… But… I’m not into that today. I found it was hard to see the Windlight settings in Kitsume’s video. I had to do some clicking to get to where I could read … Read more

Second Life: Third Party Viewers and Project Bento

2016/11/09 by Nalates Urriah

I don’t cover the Third-Party Viewers as much as I used to. I think Project Bento is a change that will make any viewer without Bento capability obsolete. Some Third Party Viewers are already Bento capable. Here is what I have found.

…and I may have made mistakes about which viewer does and doesn’t have Bento capability. If you see one please correct me.

The Deploys thread did not update until late Tuesday. It usually updates late Monday or early Tuesday. Caleb Linden has been writing the updates for the last few months. I would guess this is not his favorite task.

So, the late posting and the election results diverted me away from getting my Tuesday SL News article published.

Servers

The main channel did not get an update. Today, Wednesday, we are getting an update to the RC channels. So, for the last week all channels have run the same package.
