Why are doors messed up now?

Sorry if this has already been discussed in one of the many "borked" discussions, but I didn't see it.

Ever since all this 503 business started, I've also noticed that doors don't swing open anymore. You click them, there is a big long lag, and then sometime later they just appear open. It's extremely confusing, especially to visitors and explorers, because the door just seems locked. I know this sounds crazy, but I'm certain I'm losing business over this because people think they can't get into my properties.

Sliding doors are okay.

Does anyone know what the deal is? BTW, these are Paskis doors, and the setting "smooth open" (or whatever it's called) is still set to "on."

Thanks

Doors are death to businesses or shops. I never know whether I'm allowed in or not, so I most often just avoid the place altogether. Is there a way that you can edit the doors and reset the scripts? Or, for the time being, take them back into your inventory and leave just a passageway?

I use those scripts on my doors (and windows) and just built a home a few days ago. Everything's working fine for me, try resetting the scripts and see if that helps.

Thanks Oryx,

These are apartments and homes, so they really need to have doors on them. I could perhaps leave the available units' doors open.

On top of this being bad for business, it is annoying the hell out of me. Resetting the scripts, and also rezzing new doors doesn't do anything. It's on mainland and estate regions: all the same problem.

Does anyone notice this problem on a non-Paskis door? If not, maybe Paskis has an update or something.

I know they made a change to the amount of information that can be stored in name and description fields that has messed up one of the open source door scripts that uses these storing position and rotation, although I can't answer for the door script you're using.

Arcane, did you buy yours recently? My set is probably 6 months old.

Between this, and what Beezle says, maybe I just need to get an update from Paskis.

Thanks for the help, everyone.

Which version are you using? It's actually my co-builder that has the scripts, but they appear to be version 4.0.2.

Arcane,

I'll check when I get logged on again. But just to be clear, you can see your doors actually swing open? They don't just suddenly appear as open without any motion?

EDIT: Mine are version 4.2.0. Is that what you meant, Arcane?

Is not a requirement of a business or shoppe to have a SIGN out front so that the customers know he/she is at the right place? If I see a sign Im going to assume I am able to enter the property as a potential customer. A business/shoppe without a sign wont get much walk in business( if any at all) if its built low profile. You would have to know via advertisement and a teleport right to the front step that it even exists. That being said, I do indeed have door issues on occasion, especially during lag waves.

You're right, of course! I just meant that sometimes I'll TP to a shop and see a closed door, and think maybe it's closed for a reason. Maybe I'm just too worried about barging in unwanted. I didn't realize that Avion's doors were to apartments/rooms, which of course makes a big difference, in that renters would want them to open/close correctly.

Just kick the damned thing in Oryx! Whats the most that could happen, some robo-banner jumps on you and you get teleported home??? I have a sign over the front door of my house, ( my house has a name like one of those Newport estates) so folks know they are free to wander around and explore the grounds. I wont throw you out if I find you eating my porridge or sitting in my chair. Just dont break it!

Some businesses use phantom walk-through doors instead of moving scripted ones.

You're right, I thought you ment they wern't opening. I also notice a long delay now. Was working before, very wierd.

So I'm glad to know I'm not crazy, but now I'm bummed that perhaps doors are just going to be crappy from now on. I'm hoping that Paskis can adjust the script somehow to compensate for whatever is causing this, and I'm also hoping that it's going to be possible to implement the fix for some 200 custom doors without re-creating them.

I've tested an enhanced version of the "Nifty Neato Multi User Lockable Door" that I've modified for use when I need a full-perm door script, seems to work fine. It must be something that Paskis is doing differently that's the problem.

Well at about 7 pm Pacific time this problem suddenly went away for me. It was still happening when I first logged in at 6 pm. It was really embarrassing because Paskis had started diagnosing the problem, and trying to find any possible way to fix it when it just went away on its own. I'm glad Paskis is a pleasant and understanding businessman! Are yours working now, Arcane?

I revived this old thread because I'm now having nearly every sliding door in my SL universe stop working. They go phantom, but don't move.

Very annoyingly, it's not 100% reproducible, because a few of them still work. But it seems to be the ones in my higher-lag areas that are misbehaving.

Has anyone else had a problem with this and found a way to fix them? (I've reset the scripts of course). I'll get with Paskis again if no one else knows a solution

Thanks,

I have a home where the doors sense your proximity and open to let you in. Well....up until the 1.19.4 update. Now, if I am inside, I can't get out of it. I have to tp outside. My upstairs has a sliding door that I can get into and out of. I have to go up to that door if I want inside.

I did not build this house, so I don't own the script. I cannot reset it. Guess I'll have to IM the creator to see if there's a "fix". It's just odd that it affects only the swinging doors. Could it be because they are linked together on an invisible prim?

Angelina,

My problem is solved, at least temporarily, by re-rezzing the doors. Resetting the scripts didn't work. Is it possible for you to re-rezz your house?

This also fixed the problem with rotating objects, and certain animals that stopped moving. Re-rezzing got everything going again.

There's apparently a problem with things not de-selecting properly, which is affecting any of a number of things:

"Assigning this to Kelly Linden, who was working on it Friday and will hopefully finish it soon. The current theory is that this is caused by a "selection bit leak" -- objects are getting selected but not unselected. The best way to verify this is probably to pay attention to the "selected objects count" in the parcel object tallies. "

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1910

This is also possibly responsible for:

Selected / Sat Upon reports incorrectly and confuses prim count
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1996

And possibly part (but not all) of the issues associated with:

periodic failure to rez, attach, and delete in some regions
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-516

Well, I downloaded the most recent update, and thank God there was one...so to speak. The last update ate my house up, and my furnishings were just sitting there, come in mid-air. Now I have my house back, but I still can't go through that stupid swinging door, and I don't have any sound....again.

Yes, I checked my preferences. No, I can't re-rez the doors, as they are linked to the house and I got the house from the freebie store as a noob. I don't have any edit rights. *Sigh*. Is there anything I can do? I'm really beginning to get bummed out about my experience ever since 1.19....whatever.

*Sigh*
