Geneko Nemeth,

  • also as known as Kakurady Drakenar outside Second Life,
  • real name withheld, (not that it would be hard to found out),

doesn't has anything to write here. Other than that Dazzle Silver is cool, ... but it also makes many residents yell, “The googles! They do nothing!” However, with the last RC about to become the final viewer, the ability to switch between “classic” and “Silver” interface have been added. Though it's only a hack, it does look very promising. Now if only I can get the viewer to build and run...

When I was bored I used to translate Second Life's interface into Simplified Chinese. I use a personal PHP script to remove elements in the UI definition that doesn't need localization. Windows Vista's file virtualization hack is very useful here.

I also am okay with basic MediaWiki editing. If you need any help just ask me.

Joystick Settings and Mapping Explained

Second Life 1.20 has added support for extended input devices. However, the default setting is tailored to a special device called SpaceNavigator, and it's more likely that you have a normal game controller than something exotic like that. So here, I'd like to share my joystick configurations.

A game controller with some arrows on each side of it.

Left thumbstick to walk (Z) / turn around(yaw)
Right thumbstick to fly (Y) / strafe (X).

Or, in the order on the configuration window: X:2 Y:5 Z:1 P:-1 Y:0 R:-1 Zoom:-1

You may have noticed that these doesn't seem to match the world coordinates. Yes, it's based on flight dynamics.
