1.8 seems more like a 1.7 patch with 2 major features: P2P teleportation and water rippling, course the LSL stuff doens't mean much to me.
I thought they were calling SL 1.8, SL 2.0 and were going to put in that huge engine that eliminates fog. That'd be so cool. This P2P stuff is going to make all the SL combat groups and paranoid clubber people interesting. Since the mafia people tend to group around telehubs to watch incoming people and paranoid clubbers guard the backrooms religiously and all that. _____________________

We are so going to need some more efficient security protocols buit-in to SL as well as scripted. It wouldn't take much to stage a raid now.
Whoops, spoke too soon... Scripting Changes: * New LSL functions: o llMapDestination(string simname, vector position, vector lookat) + Shows a given location on the map. + Works in attachments, or during touch events. + The "lookat" value is currently not in use, but will be in a later version o llAddToLandBanList(key avatar, float hours) + Add an avatar to the parcel ban list for the given duration. o llRemoveFromLandPassList(key avatar) + Remove an avatar from the parcel pass list for the given duration. o llRemoveFromLandBanList(key avatar) + Remove an avatar from the parcel ban list for the given duration. * Changed LSL functions: o llAddToLandPassList(key avatar, float hours) + Avatars can now be added to the parcel pass list with no time limit by passing 0 as the hours parameter. Yeah. I can live with that. |

Future LSL functions: llTeleportAgent(key avatar, string simname, vector position, vector lookat) (?) Teleport an avatar at a location (requires agent permission) Looks like it's almost time to get my Stargate working! _____________________

P2P seems fun so far.
Now we need a "Port Here" option added to the pie menu instead of "Go Here". I ported out of a room, took a try or two, landed in the wall structure one time. Ported into a house. _____________________

I'm pretty happy about llAddToLandBanList, although the 'float hours' confuses me a little (There is no duration today, and I don't see it added to the GUI).
This will definately help some of my concerns over griefing & P2P. Its not perfect, but its a start. _____________________

Yes. And have a look at the impressive feature list.
Looks like LL is not trying to overextend its resources with this release. |

Yes, with these additions to LSL one could build finally build some of those Hyperion-style (the novels by Dan Simons) mansions, that were discussed sometimes on the forums already. Whats needed to perfect this a little might be a way to capture a snapshot at some other point in the Second Life world more easily; scripted. Something like key llMakeSnapshot(key avatar, string simname, vector position, vector lookat) (?) ... which would make a perfect spying device of course. Maybe it was a bad idea. Forgive me, my fellow residents. It's early morning for me and I only just now had my first coffee - renders a snapshop as if the avatar was standing at the described position and looking at "lookat" (requires permission for the avatar to "be there"; no protected parcels) - returns the key of the generated texture |

Yaaayyy!
I love the new water ripple, it looks great. Although it seems to varry how it looks from card to card? My ripple doesn't really look much like Toast's ripple. It's a great improvement overall, awsome work to whichever Linden is responsible. Can't wait for llTeleportAgent. *In before the dramah* _____________________

Yes of course, because LL had nothing else to do since 1.7 is now completely bug free and running flawlessly.

Yeh, though I'd like to be able to adjust three parameters: speed of ripples, size (wavelength) of ripples, and height (amplitude) of ripples. Because on my video card they look like I'm wading through jello. ::  igh::: with my ATI Radeon 9600 card, when I turn ripples on, the $%^#! water disappears entirely. P2 _____________________

How to get rid of pesky, unsovled 1.7 bugs
12-03-2005 01:59
Release version 1.8 and declare all 1.7 bugs closed after months of telling people "submit your bug reports". Might I suggest that this next release be called Second Life 98®?
Well, at time of historic low load (1900 on main grid, 3 on preview grid) slow-rez is as good as ever (see attached) although P2P teleport is nice. As for the shiny water, talk about Groenigesque misdirection - ooh shiny! Must have taken a whole screen of code to ask the GPU to do a plasma-oid unrealistic, non-reflective, waterish effect. Kudos, LL! Everybody please be sure to test 1.8 extensively so that your feedback can be summarily ignored. To infinity.... and beyond! _____________________

Yep and the Star Chamber is already complaining. as a member of the Star Chamber (TM) I find your post offensive and I demand you be banned! _____________________
