  • [15:04] Eddi Decosta: hello Caleb :)
  • [15:04] MartinRJ Fayray: "We're sorry but something went wrong"
  • [15:04] Oskar Linden: I assume that you all saw the Penny Arcade comic about Sl from yesterday: http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2012/03/28

  • [15:05] SonicAnd Miles: click
  • [15:05] Fancy Greeter: Maestro Linden has arrived!
  • [15:05] Ash Qin: That's because session login credentials don't work with agni profiles
  • [15:05] Homeless: we're sorry something went wrong
  • [15:05] Homeless: can't load profiles
  • [15:05] Ash Qin: And you're accessing agni profiles with aditi session logins
  • [15:05] Eddi Decosta: for me its ok ..
  • [15:05] MartinRJ Fayray: I've never noticed before
  • [15:05] Larre Leborski: Hi Maestro :-)

  • [15:06] SonicAnd Miles: lol
  • [15:06] Oskar Linden: alright
  • [15:06] Eddi Decosta: Oskar, lol i give you a coffee cup? :)
  • [15:06] Oskar Linden: here is the agenda
  • [15:06] SonicAnd Miles: sup Maestro
  • [15:06] FadeOut Razorfen: LOL@comic
  • [15:06] Oskar Linden: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Server_Beta_User_Group
  • [15:06] Oskar Linden: let's get this party started
  • [15:07] Oskar Linden: yet again we did not have a promotion to main channel
  • [15:07] SonicAnd Miles: Magnum gets a promotion "ext week" -LOL
  • [15:07] Oskar Linden: we did however institute a rolling restart for the main channel sims
  • [15:07] Ash Qin: Magnum sims did restart though.
  • [15:08] Oskar Linden: that was wednesday
  • [15:08] Oskar Linden: I'm still tlaking about Tuesday
  • [15:08] Motor Loon: the weekly sim-wakeup-call °͜°
  • [15:08] Oskar Linden: the threaded region crossing code is worrisome
  • [15:08] Oskar Linden: we wanted to give it as much soak time as possible
  • [15:08] Motor Loon: worrisome? nooo
  • [15:08] Oskar Linden: we fixed a few crashers and are letting it soak this week
  • [15:08] Oskar Linden: it meant no main channel roll though
  • [15:08] Flip Idlemind: Im glad the RC process seems to be back on track, because Kelly says that the next next next maint-server will have llGetAgentList
  • [15:09] NeoBokrug Elytis: Do want.
  • [15:09] Lucia Nightfire: is llGetAgentList active on any aditi region atm?
  • [15:09] Oskar Linden: we've intentionally not given the grid a rolling restart in a few weeks now
  • [15:09] Oskar Linden: we've used that rare opportunity to monitor performance over time
  • [15:09] Oskar Linden: the grid has performed far better than it has in the past
  • [15:10] Oskar Linden: BlueSteel and LeTigre got some new code
  • [15:10] Oskar Linden: a maint-server
  • [15:10] Oskar Linden: no new features
  • [15:10] Oskar Linden: it mostly dealt with stability with networking code
  • [15:11] Oskar Linden: no real areas I can guide you to poke at
  • [15:11] Oskar Linden: hopefully it will help take care of SVC-7713
  • [15:11] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7713] sim crashes all avatars on sim (dosent restart but crash all viewers) multiple times a day https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7713
  • [15:11] Maestro Linden: "is llGetAgentList active on any aditi region atm?" << caleb, do you know?
  • [15:11] Rex Cronon: AFK...............................
  • [15:11] Rex Cronon: afk
  • [15:11] NeoBokrug Elytis: Now that direct delivery is live, are the LL backbones doing any better?
  • [15:11] Caleb Linden: nope , maestro
  • [15:11] Oskar Linden: some weren't so happy with the increased load
  • [15:11] SonicAnd Miles: good goin with the distractions fuse lol
  • [15:11] Flip Idlemind: So, curious: Are maint-servers that are a few weeks out set in stone? Or might they still have bug fixes added before they get RC'd?
  • [15:12] Oskar Linden: ok fuse we see your glowing green noisy orb
  • [15:12] Homeless: direct delivery increases load?
  • [15:12] Oskar Linden: on certain areas
  • [15:12] Theresa Tennyson: Oskar, do you run the inventory servers too?
  • [15:12] Maestro Linden: okay, llGetAgentList() is part of DRTSIM-141.. which doesn't appear to be on aditi, yet
  • [15:12] Oskar Linden: everything creates load when you have a world as large as SL
  • [15:13] Oskar Linden: do I run them?
  • [15:13] Theresa Tennyson: Is their maintenance your department, that is.
  • [15:13] Maestro Linden: I would guess that direct delivery creates less load than magic boxes
  • [15:13] Oskar Linden: not exactly Theresa
  • [15:13] Homeless: will the load balance out when magic boxes are gone?
  • [15:13] fuse McGinnis: sorry not intentional
  • [15:13] Oskar Linden: there were some inv related hiccups last week
  • [15:13] Tonya Souther: I would think different load, Maestro...
  • [15:14] NeoBokrug Elytis: And do the llGiveInventory throttle help?
  • [15:14] Oskar Linden: it will just be different loads Homeless
  • [15:14] Theresa Tennyson: I think it's taking the load off the regions and putting it on the inventory servers.
  • [15:14] NeoBokrug Elytis: me am tipe gud 2day
  • [15:14] Maestro Linden: well, the inventory server load was there with magic boxes, too. llGiveInventory() still inserts the object into your avatar's inventory..
  • [15:15] Flip Idlemind: D.D. probably has less load than magic boxes, on the simulators at least. (I'm guessing)
  • [15:15] NeoBokrug Elytis: In theory it should be one less step, because you don't need to trigger LSL events -- so a lighter load yeah?
  • [15:15] Oskar Linden: so yeah that's BlueSteel and LeTigre
  • [15:15] Oskar Linden: Magnum has the Threaded Region Crossing code again
  • [15:16] Oskar Linden: now with some crashing fixes
  • [15:16] Oskar Linden: yay
  • [15:16] Draconis Neurocam: i wonder if the xmlrpc server will work better with less load now
  • [15:16] Oskar Linden: how many of you have been messing with pathfinding on ADITI?
  • [15:16] Kris Spade: Sorry I'm late was playing with Experience Tools :D
  • [15:16] Kaluura Boa: Shhhh!
  • [15:16] NeoBokrug Elytis: I've got a region on the main grid.
  • [15:16] Flip Idlemind: Can you legally say that?
  • [15:17] Oskar Linden: cool
  • [15:17] Oskar Linden: we've opened the alpha into a public beta
  • [15:17] Oskar Linden: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Pathfinding_Public_Beta
  • [15:17] Kris Spade: Awesome!
  • [15:17] NeoBokrug Elytis: Was going to have two -- but dynamic objects seem to MURDER performance. I had 4 objects bring the region to it's knees.
  • [15:17] Larre Leborski: Indeed :-)
  • [15:17] Oskar Linden: there are a lot of sandboxes on AGNI you can test on now
  • [15:18] Oskar Linden: we'll be putting new info on that page and the pages linked at the bottom
  • [15:18] Oskar Linden: pass this page to anyone you think might be interested in checking out this feature: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Pathfinding_Public_Beta
  • [15:18] Homeless: the premium sandboxes have pathfinding. nice!
  • [15:18] MartinRJ Fayray: Hi Whirly!
  • [15:18] Kris Spade: That is very helpful. Will do
  • [15:18] Oskar Linden: Maestro. any details for the good resis?
  • [15:18] Maestro Linden: Hm, there's a lot to pathfinding
  • [15:18] Oskar Linden: hey Whirly
  • [15:18] Maestro Linden: There's nothing too new about this agni beta
  • [15:19] Oskar Linden: there's room on the cat next to me Ms Fizzle
  • [15:19] Maestro Linden: well, except that we redid terrain collisions yesterday
  • [15:19] Maestro Linden: so those will be different
  • [15:19] Maestro Linden: Hopefully 'fixed'
  • [15:19] Oskar Linden: or the duck
  • [15:19] Maestro Linden: anybody with a pathfinding viewer can add objects to the nav mesh..
  • [15:20] Maestro Linden: I think anybody can fetch a bleeding-edge pathfinding viewer here: http://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repo/stinson_viewer-pathfinding/rev/252439/index.html
  • [15:20] Oskar Linden: nice
  • [15:20] Kris Spade: Nice :D
  • [15:20] Kris Spade: I'll grab that now
  • [15:20] Oskar Linden: maestro can you add that link to the wiki page pleaze!
  • [15:20] Maestro Linden: the viewer downloads link on the wiki page is for a build that's like a week old at this point
  • [15:20] Maestro Linden: sure
  • [15:20] Maestro Linden: well, actually it's http://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repo/viewer-pathfinding/latest.html
  • [15:20] Maestro Linden: sometimes the builds fail though
  • [15:21] Maestro Linden: so 'latest' won't always have a download link
  • [15:21] Oskar Linden: while we have the maestro's brain so readily accessible does anyone have any pathfinding questions?
  • [15:21] Motor Loon: (looks like someone's playing megasize-tennis on the next sim)
  • [15:21] Tonya Souther: no pathfinding Q, but something Maestro commented on, SVC-7759?
  • [15:21] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7759] Scheduled restart notices no longer noticeable https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7759
  • [15:22] NeoBokrug Elytis: Characters that try to move into (under) some enclosed spaces that are flagged as movable objects, cause a region to crash.
  • [15:22] Maestro Linden: oh yeah neo?
  • [15:22] SonicAnd Miles: by doing what it says on the website can we try it on a homestead on AGNI
  • [15:22] Maestro Linden: any specific times/regions where that happened?
  • [15:22] NeoBokrug Elytis: Kronbelt.
  • [15:22] Maestro Linden: we have had a few crash cases recently, but were struggling to find repro steps
  • [15:23] Rex Cronon: back
  • [15:23] NeoBokrug Elytis: About -- 2:30pm PST
  • [15:23] Maestro Linden: I see one at 14:00
  • [15:23] Maestro Linden: and it's.. the same crash mode I was looking into
  • [15:23] NeoBokrug Elytis: There's a tent without being assigned walls or floors on the land mesh, if you go inside it while something is following you, region dies.
  • [15:24] Maestro Linden: I'll try to get some characters to move under movable objects..
  • [15:24] Maestro Linden: Cool, that's good info
  • [15:24] NeoBokrug Elytis: I think it's 'moveable objects', whatever the default is.
  • [15:24] Maestro Linden: yeah, movable obstacle
  • [15:25] NeoBokrug Elytis: This happened way back when I was testing when pathfinding was on the beta grid too.
  • [15:25] Free Radar HUDFree Radar HUD v1.1 by Crystal Gadgets
  • [15:25] Maestro Linden: can you send me a SLURL later? I'll try running that region oin aditi and see if I can get the crash consistently
  • [15:25] NeoBokrug Elytis: Except the region would slow down to 1fps
  • [15:25] NeoBokrug Elytis: Sure.
  • [15:25] Maestro Linden: Cheers, thanks
  • [15:25] SonicAnd Miles: b&
  • [15:26] Oskar Linden: Maestro, during the public beta where should people focus their efforts?
  • [15:26] Oskar Linden: TEST ALL THE THINGS!!
  • [15:26] Tonya SoutherTonya Souther giggles.
  • [15:26] Maestro Linden: yes basically
  • [15:26] Maestro Linden: collisions are probably a good focus area
  • [15:27] SonicAnd Miles: can we have pathfinding added on a homestead on AGNI by following the procedure on the website?
  • [15:27] Maestro Linden: since any important bugs there will have a bigger impact than bugs that only affect pathfinding behavior
  • [15:27] Oskar Linden: probably sonic
  • [15:27] Oskar Linden: and miles
  • [15:27] SonicAnd Miles: cool :)
  • [15:27] Oskar Linden: depends on resources
  • [15:27] NeoBokrug Elytis: Kronbelt is a homestead. :)
  • [15:28] Maestro Linden: yes, there are a few homesteads in the beta already
  • [15:28] Oskar Linden: perfect
  • [15:28] SonicAnd Miles: sounds awesome
  • [15:28] Oskar Linden: alrighty then let's see what Caleb has for us
  • [15:28] Oskar Linden: Mr Caleb
  • [15:28] Caleb Linden: howdy
  • [15:28] Oskar Linden: what is upcoming in Serverlandia?
  • [15:29] Oskar Linden: what awesome magic of development wonder can you share with us today?
  • [15:29] Oskar LindenOskar Linden waits with bated breath
  • [15:29] FadeOut Razorfen: i've just found a couple of bugs on pathfinding... if you run around llPursue cube on distance - it just stands at the same place rotating without moving, and also climbing speed is ridiculusly slow...
  • [15:29] Caleb Linden: There is more organic server fixes. Highlights to me are the throttles to IM and inventory shares, that have brought down sims before
  • [15:29] Oskar Linden: file them fadeout
  • [15:30] FadeOut Razorfen: yep, will do when my internet is gonna fix itself lol
  • [15:30] Maestro Linden: oh yes, if you see any pathfinding bugs, please file in a PATHBUG Jira rather than generic SVC
  • [15:30] Oskar Linden: pelase please please!
  • [15:30] Oskar Linden: Caleb, what are organic server fixes?
  • [15:30] Caleb Linden: you mentioned serverlandia
  • [15:31] Caleb Linden: and it made me think of Portlandia
  • [15:31] Oskar Linden: and portland makes you think of hippies
  • [15:31] Caleb Linden: as per Fred Armissen
  • [15:31] Oskar Linden: which makes you think of free range organic ovo lacto free code fixes?
  • [15:31] Oskar Linden: and double decker bicycles
  • [15:31] Caleb Linden: fixies
  • [15:32] Oskar Linden: The dream of the metaverse is alive in Serverlandia
  • [15:32] Caleb Linden: ok, a lot fixes have been revolving around IM floods
  • [15:32] Oskar Linden: I hope everyone is familiar with Portlandia and gets that humor
  • [15:32] Oskar Linden: if not... To The Webz!
  • [15:32] Homeless: I can guess but not sure specifically
  • [15:33] Homeless: Google to the rescue then...
  • [15:33] Oskar LindenOskar Linden looks at his agenda
  • [15:33] Lucia Nightfire: speaking of IM floods, hopefully SVC-7760 gets fixed soon
  • [15:33] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7760] Large object instant messages can corrupt returned object location URL making it impossible to determine the object's location. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7760
  • [15:33] Maestro Linden: brb, need to ask somebody a question
  • [15:34] Oskar Linden: is that everything Caleb?
  • [15:35] Oskar Linden: perhaps it is
  • [15:35] Oskar Linden: maybe I should type slower to make these meetings last longer
  • [15:35] Caleb Linden: pretty much what made sense to mention. the rest goes deeper into simulator config files and removal of obsolete code
  • [15:35] Oskar Linden: removing obsolete code is a good idea
  • [15:36] Oskar Linden: removing it is the best way to find out if anyone is using it
  • [15:36] Rex Cronon: next thing we know mesh stops working;)
  • [15:36] Oskar Linden: remove code, ship it, wait for the screams
  • [15:36] NeoBokrug Elytis: :(
  • [15:36] Caleb Linden: if you guys wanna hack on that maint release, i would focus on IM, group notices for sure
  • [15:36] Lucia Nightfire: can I frame that
  • [15:36] Homeless: Sounds like a torture chamber
  • [15:36] Oskar Linden: that's on BlueSteel and LeTigre right Caleb?
  • [15:37] Caleb Linden: for those who have large groups to send IM. it will be out next week prospectively
  • [15:37] Oskar Linden: kk
  • [15:37] Tonya Souther: that's individual IM, not group chat, right?
  • [15:38] Caleb Linden: yes
  • [15:38] Draconis Neurocam: what about conferences not related to groups?
  • [15:39] Caleb Linden: i don't know, but you may try
  • [15:39] Motor Loon: Could we have some focus on https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-14674 we're alot of estateowners/managers who (for years) would have found great benefit from this function in regards to greifing and such, but it only very rarely works - mostly it has zero effect...
  • [15:39] Flame of Jira: [#VWR-14674] Object Return Function of Region/Estate Menu does not work https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-14674
  • [15:40] Oskar Linden: it doesn't work?
  • [15:40] Motor Loon: it sometimes work
  • [15:40] Motor Loon: but rarely
  • [15:40] NeoBokrug Elytis: Yes THAT. WHAT MOTOR SAID.
  • [15:41] Motor Loon: the senario being: returned all object owned by a certain person across all regions in the estate and on all parcels regardless of owner of those.
  • [15:41] Oskar Linden: oh it's for all regions in the estate
  • [15:41] NeoBokrug Elytis: As an estate owner that's my BIGGEST wish to be fixed.
  • [15:41] Motor Loon: its a god function ... when it works
  • [15:41] NeoBokrug Elytis: Makes cleanup of griefing take 15 seconds.
  • [15:41] Motor Loon: and thats incl. filing an AR
  • [15:41] Motor Loon: °͜°
  • [15:42] NeoBokrug Elytis: Instead of region -> teleport -> cleam -> repeat 20 times
  • [15:42] Motor Loon: aka doing it manually °͜°
  • [15:43] Motor Loon: or - waiting for a linden to come and clean up the mess
  • [15:43] Flip Idlemind: So, here's a list of JIRAs that currently interest me:
  • [15:43] Oskar Linden: I'll make sure that issues gets some attention
  • [15:43] Flip Idlemind: SVC-7790, SVC-7792, SVC-7743, SVC-3811
  • [15:43] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7790] "Avatar Sounds" feature fails to disable all scripted sounds https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3811
  • [15:43] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7792] HUD Attachments Receive Infrequent Updates when Camera is Zoomed Out https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3811
  • [15:43] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7743] Better Administrative Control over who can Speak on Voice https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3811
  • [15:43] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-3811] Sit disabled on prims that are: inside a prim's bounding box (eg, phantom prim). https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3811
  • [15:43] NeoBokrug Elytis: If you can get concierge to help.
  • [15:45] Draconis Neurocam: that last one flip is very old an annoying
  • [15:45] Draconis Neurocam: and*
  • [15:45] Flip Idlemind: Yes, and, hold on...
  • [15:46] Flip Idlemind: I made the comment...
  • [15:46] Flip Idlemind: While we're at it, could we get rid of the whole "No room to sit here" thing all together? What purpose does that serve really?
  • [15:46] MartinRJ Fayray: SVC-7790
  • [15:46] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7790] "Avatar Sounds" feature fails to disable all scripted sounds https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7790
  • [15:46] Tonya Souther: feedback when no sit target is set.
  • [15:46] Oskar Linden: I should create a monthly top 10 unfixed jiras list
  • [15:46] Motor Loon: Not a bad idea
  • [15:47] Motor Loon: - or - just get some dev's on fixing them °͜°
  • [15:47] Oskar Linden: devs fix a lot
  • [15:47] Motor Loon: I know °͜°
  • [15:47] Motor Loon: just not always the really really important stuff
  • [15:48] Tonya Souther: Oskar, can we get someone to look at SVC-7759? That's causing a lot of user unhappiness, and should be a simple fix, server-side...
  • [15:48] Flip Idlemind: So does anyone agree with my comment? Is there any real purpose for there ever being "no room" to sit on a prim?
  • [15:48] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7759] Scheduled restart notices no longer noticeable https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7759
  • [15:48] NeoBokrug Elytis: Flip: if your hip slider is set to 100?
  • [15:48] Oskar Linden: I know Tonya
  • [15:48] Draconis Neurocam: i agree flip
  • [15:48] Oskar Linden: I have communicated that to the team
  • [15:49] Tonya Souther: yeah...basically, the rolling restart message sent to the viewer should be the same as the manually initiated restart message...but out users scream because they never see the rolling restart warning.
  • [15:49] Oskar Linden: I get it
  • [15:49] Oskar Linden: I understand the issue
  • [15:49] Tonya Souther: Thanks.
  • [15:49] Flip Idlemind: My personal viewer has a region restart countdown timer
  • [15:50] Oskar Linden: nice
  • [15:50] Oskar Linden: tik tok
  • [15:50] Draconis Neurocam: what would be nicer is a way to reliably animate a group of avatars without a single script per
  • [15:50] Ash Qin: Mine makes the viewer's UI go red and does a star trek 'red alert' type sound
  • [15:50] Oskar Linden: needs klaxon sirens
  • [15:50] Ash Qin: I tend to miss the fact it's going down otherwise
  • [15:50] Rex Cronon: how can u animate avatars without scripts?
  • [15:50] SonicAnd Miles: I like that timer idea FLIP
  • [15:50] MartinRJ Fayray: mine makes the viewer disconnect after 5 minutes : )
  • [15:51] Motor Loon: "I'm Giving Her All She's Got Captain"
  • [15:51] Ash Qin: Rex, you could play the animations from your inventory.
  • [15:51] Tonya Souther: me too, Flip.
  • [15:51] Flip Idlemind: SVC-7743 I think would be nice for classes and whatnot
  • [15:51] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7743] Better Administrative Control over who can Speak on Voice https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7743
  • [15:51] Tonya Souther: Mind if I steal the idea?
  • [15:51] Flip Idlemind: No go ahead :D
  • [15:51] Draconis Neurocam: rex, something to animate multiple people with a single one i meant
  • [15:52] Maestro Linden: well, if you don't need to trigger the animations simultaneously, you can request permissions and animate them in serial
  • [15:52] Rex Cronon: if all sit on same sit, it takes just one script
  • [15:52] Maestro Linden: so you can have like a 10-seat boat with only 1 script
  • [15:52] Lucia Nightfire: group thiller dancing or river dancing comes to mind
  • [15:52] Oskar Linden: I love the group thriller
  • [15:52] Lucia Nightfire: ie in synch
  • [15:52] Draconis Neurocam: try stopping them as they stand though maestro
  • [15:52] Ash Qin: How is that possible? I thought you could only request animation permission for one avatar per script
  • [15:52] Maestro Linden: that's usually not necessary, draconis
  • [15:52] NeoBokrug Elytis: Script threading. :)
  • [15:53] Maestro Linden: the animations stop when you stand up automatically
  • [15:53] Theresa Tennyson: Dance balls usually have a separate "sync" command for avatars who are already dancing.
  • [15:53] Rex Cronon: to animate somebody that seats u don't really need their permission:)
  • [15:53] Rex Cronon: sits*
  • [15:53] Motor Loon: you do
  • [15:53] Motor Loon: but its granted auto
  • [15:54] Rex Cronon: u don't need to ask them for it:)
  • [15:54] Tonya Souther: but you still need to llRequestPermission(PERMISSION_ANIMATE).
  • [15:54] Motor Loon: you kinda do... they just dont have to answer
  • [15:54] Motor Loon: °͜°
  • [15:54] Motor Loon: so you just run a new request for each avatar in your single script... works fine
  • [15:55] Rex Cronon: u do know about the bug that allows it. right?
  • [15:55] Motor Loon: I use it on my 32 passenger boat myself
  • [15:55] Motor Loon: (with 32 sit targets though, but using the hack)
  • [15:55] Flip Idlemind: I don't, Rex, go on
  • [15:55] Motor Loon: but=not
  • [15:55] Homeless: How well do 32 passangers survive a sim crossing?
  • [15:55] Motor Loon: they often dont
  • [15:55] Motor Loon: °͜°
  • [15:55] NeoBokrug Elytis: Haha
  • [15:55] Tonya Souther: I need to experiment with multi-sit-targets soon.
  • [15:55] Homeless: lol
  • [15:56] Motor Loon: I've tried with I think 17... and half didnt make the crossing atleast
  • [15:56] NeoBokrug Elytis: Good way to test threaded crossings
  • [15:56] Lucia Nightfire: extreme sim crossing
  • [15:56] Motor Loon: but it was still fun
  • [15:56] Lucia Nightfire: who'll make it out alive and who'll end up reloagging
  • [15:57] MartinRJ Fayray: btw, alexa linden just asked you to update https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-14674
  • [15:57] Flame of Jira: [#VWR-14674] Object Return Function of Region/Estate Menu does not work https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-14674
  • [15:57] MartinRJ Fayray: it's still set as an issue for viewer 1.23
  • [15:57] Flip Idlemind: Well...I really think that, if SVC-3811 is in fact on anyone's to-do list, it should be moved way up, if not to the top
  • [15:57] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-3811] Sit disabled on prims that are: inside a prim's bounding box (eg, phantom prim). https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3811
  • [15:58] Motor Loon: nice... I might even experiment with different viewers
  • [15:58] Oskar Linden: see that's progress :-D
  • [15:58] Oskar Linden: you cry, I poke, shit gets done
  • [15:58] Motor Loon: tiny progress... but progress °͜°
  • [15:58] Flip IdlemindFlip Idlemind cries about the sit disabled bug

  • [15:59] Rex Cronon: lol. oskar. that does make a quote:)
  • [15:59] NeoBokrug Elytis: I know it affects the current viewer, just tried to return a bunch of stuff last week.
  • [15:59] Motor Loon: I'll bring it up in a few estate groups and get some people to comment on it too
  • [15:59] Motor Loon: Im usually on Firestorm myself
  • [15:59] Tonya SoutherTonya Souther purrs.

  • [15:59] Oskar Linden: tik tok
  • [15:59] Motor Loon: oh no
  • [15:59] Maestro Linden: well, for SVC-3811, if the problem is that your 'simscape' is preventing people from sitting in the sim
  • [15:59] Ash Qin: Thanks for your time, Oskar
  • [16:00] SonicAnd Miles: tik tok, i still like that timer idea for a restart
  • [16:00] Motor Loon: resident bedtime
  • [16:00] SonicAnd Miles: lol
  • [16:00] Maestro Linden: you should just set those prims to not have a physics shape
  • [16:00] Oskar Linden: thank you everyone for attending today
  • [16:00] Kris Spade: Isn't there some exit theme song that should be traditionally played at the closing of the meeting?
