Release Notes/Second Life RC BlueSteel/12

12.08.03.263047

12.07.27.262679

• This is an infrastructure project.
• Scheduled 2012-08-01
  • There are no intentional changes to existing behaviour.
• Also on LeTigre: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_RC_LeTigre/12#12.07.27.262679

12.07.24.262437

• This is the Creator Tools project.
  • We are enabling these functions in this channel.
• Scheduled 2012-07-25
• Added three new LSL functions:
  • llAttachToAvatarTemp(integer attach_point) -- Follows the same convention as llAttachToAvatar, with the exception that the object will not create inventory for the user, and will disappear on detach, or disconnect. It should be noted that when an object is attached temporarily, a user cannot 'take' or 'drop' the object that is attached to them. The user is 'automatically' made the owner of the object. Temporary attached items cannot use the llTeleportAgent or llTeleportAgentGlobalCoords LSL functions.
  • llTeleportAgent(key agent_uuid, string lm_name, vector landing_point, vector look_at_point) -- Teleport Agent allows the script to teleport an agent to either a local coordinate in the current region or to a remote location specified by a landmark. If the destination is local, the lm_name argument is a blank string. The landing point and look at point are respected for this call. If the destination is remote, the object must have a landmark in its inventory with the teleport agent script. lm_name refers to the name of the landmark in inventory. This function cannot be used in a script in an object attached using llAttachToAvatarTemp.
  • llTeleportAgentGlobalCoords(key avatar, vector global_coordinates, vector region_coordinates, vector look_at) -- Teleports an agent to region_coordinates within a region at the specified global_coordinates. The agent lands facing the position defined by look_at local coordinates. A region's global coordinates can be retrieved using llRequestSimulatorData(region_name, DATA_SIM_POS). This function cannot be used in a script in an object attached using llAttachToAvatarTemp.
• NOTES:
  • The new LSL functions work with the current runtime permissions system and are precursor to future work with experience permissions. More information about the runtime permission is here: PERMISSION_TELEPORT.
  • These functions only work on the RC regions and not grid wide.
• Bug Fixes
  • SCR-342: llTeleportAgent() does not fail gracefully when specifying an invalid landmark name
  • SVC-7966: Magnum RC, llTeleportAgent gives a wrong message
  • SVC-7987: llTeleportAgent always points in the positive Y direction on teleport

12.01.13.247734

• This "maint-server" project scheduled 2012-01-18
• Features
• New LSL function integer llSetRegionPos(vector position)

  The object with the script will move the root prim position to the given location. The position is any position within the region. If the position is below ground, it will be set to the ground level at that X,Y spot. The function has no delay or throttle.

  • Returns 1 if the object is successfully placed within 0.1 m of position.
  • Returns 0 and does not move the object if position is more than 10m off region or above 4096m.
  • Returns 0 and does not move the object if the object is dynamic (has physics enabled).
  • Returns 0 and does not move the object if the object can not move to position due to object entry rules, prim limits, bans, etc.

• "frame_number" option added to llGetEnv()

  Returns an integer that represents the current 'frame' of the simulator. Generally only useful for specific debugging cases.

• Bug Fixes
  • SVC-7466 A notecard holds more data than a script can read
  • SVC-7520 Keyframe motion doesn't move towards the correct position when specified time is not an exact multiple of 1/45 seconds
  • SVC-7485 llSetKeyframedMotion cannot stop animation if none is running ... sounds less important than it is ...
