Logged on with the previous RC - mandatory to update to the new RC.

It sucks - Despite our best effort blah blah blah - can't log in.

Is it just me?

Meh..going to bed now.

Sculpties are FIXED!

Don't have to re-upload either it seems. My sculpts that were uploaded losslessly before and stopped working right look fine now, the downloading is fixed.

Mmm..mm...and skirts are fixed too!

Happened to me, on the first attempt, both times I've logged in with the new RC tonight.

It's crashin' on log-in for a lotta people, just read the comments on the Blog, but I hope I get in with it pretty soon...I can't wait to see what they call the "voice lip-sync"...should be comedy gold.

I had to enable it, but it's just a babble mouth motion loop. Only active when it notices sound coming through your mic though. Even quiet does it though.

To enable, I went to debug settings and found 'LipSyncEnabled' and changed it to TRUE. Dunno if there's a menu setting, haven't looked very hard.

Sculpts are confirmed fixed. I throw the most convoluted stuff that is very hard to compress and formerly required 256x256 lossless images. They work fine at 64x64.
Finally a resolution to this bug, two days short of the 1 year anniversary of sculpts!

My security software is trying to block this viewer like crazy, which it has never done to this extent before. Is it possible that is creating some of the log in problems for people? I've had to manually ok the viewer connection several times.

Hmm. Well at least it's a start I guess.

I'm in now w/ the RC, but if I try to apply skins, it crashes, so I'm stuck with the default blinding ice-blue interface, oh well. I prefer the black or the classic ones, but my eyes will just have to get used to it for now.

For anybody who doesn't know what I'm talkin' about, it's these skins that I've been using:

After playin The Sims 2 years ago...I never understood why they couldn't give the user the option to pick between our "typing/piano" movement, and a simulated random speech animation, like Maxis uses for The Sims.

I gotta find somebody who uses Voice when I wake up tommorrow, heh. (It's almost 1AM here)

What is the point of Lip Synch? When is it supposed to work and how exactly? I must have missed that somewhere... TIA

When you use voice, if any sound is coming from your mic, your av's lips move. Though not at all in time with the sound, just a babble-mouth movement looped until no sound is coming from your mic.

This is a known bug and is mentioned on the blog post about RC 7.

"In RC7, the Hover Tips on objects inworld show a single garbage character for the ‘For Sale:’ Amount. This will be fixed in an upcoming version of the Release Candidate."

Yay for the fixed sculpty loading!

I haven't tried the latest RC yet - having some network trouble and haven't been able to download it - but there are a couple features that look great, like this one:

From: someone

Resident names are interactive in Chat/IM:

* [EDITED 2008-05-21 18:41] Clicking on resident names in Local Chat or a Group IM will open their Profile page


Looking forward to using that. Especially in crowded places where my frame rate drops to a crawl, it can be hard to find people to click on when I want to see their profiles. This will save a lot of time.

This one sounds bizarre and interesting:

From: someone

Newly created avatars without a gender, or any avatar where “clothing is still downloading” are rendered as a cloud rather than naked/wrong body shape


Is that the end of Ruth, or am I misunderstanding? What will that "cloud" look like?

From: someone
Directly interacting with a muted resident will unmute them, with a note logged in the Chat history (VWR-1735)

This sounds useful, for people who accidentally mute shopkeepers and then yell at them for not responding to IMs. :rolleyes:

From: someone

* Fixed: VWR-2778: System skirt textures turn invisible on wearing


really? really??? *happy happy joy joy snoopy dance*

New search or not, I'm giving this RC a pass too. They didn't fix the flexi-prim bug, so it's pretty much unusable for me.

And here I was wanting to TRY the new search and voice piece.

Is the flexi prim bug in the current 'stable' client as well?

If so, why not give it a whirl? Or at least download it and just try it, not like it replaces your old SL directory.

I don't understand why people 'pass on the RC' honestly, when they can help get some bugs fixed, and then get right back to their 'stable' client and be fine, no worse for wear.

EDIT:: Found the JIRA for the flexies.. you mean twist isn't supposed to do that to flexies!? Damn... I like it like that, makes better tails XD
