Objects that interact with SL water - Broken since H4??

I'm shocked to see more people not mentioning this. Since havoc 4, none of my objects that interact with SL or Prim water are working.

I did see a post about WaterWorks Swimmer being borked...but not much else...

I have the Swimmer (which doesnt work at all anywhere)

These other devices just sink into the water below where they should be.....
A Pontoon Boat from RW Designs
Water Copter
Various WaveRunners

Everything I own.. I have contacted some of the vendors and they initially discount that they are aware of a problem until I ask them to show me how their object floats on their land.. Then they see the same results.. and seem shocked.

I see nothing from LL about this. I guess I am to assume that this is another God Complex move by LL... and that all vendors will have to re-do their scripts to map to Havoc 4 engine physics.

Have others even noticed this behavior? Very frustrated.

My sailboat no longer works.

As the owner of about 20 bikes and a 1/2 region motorcycle track I'm obsolete. Welcome to obsolescence.

File support tickets, find the bugs and vote to fix them ... be vocal.

My boats all still work as does my SLwim device, motorcycle, VW beetle and my freebie Jetski - or at least they did straight after the upgrade because I tested them. There have been some sims I cannot sail into but I think that is something else as the sim version does not appear to be different.

Perhaps your problems stem from some other cause?

The physics in H4 are all different it depends on the scripts.

Bikes work to a point but not the same as they did before H4.

I have jetskis, surfboards, and windsurfboards that I bought just before H4 dropped, and they all work.

My bike does, a really nice Viper from lil' sturgis.

The canoe my friend made still works fine; actually, it's riding a little high now. The swim attachment I sell is suffering from a bug in the new physics, but this bug has nothing to do with water (it's a bug with the llSetForce command.)

Slwim works, but not RIGHT. It's very very slow. :C
I hope this can all be fixed.

Thats odd, I have the latest SLwim and it works fine for me - just the same as it always did. v2.1 is what I have I think.

I find it annoying that my avatar can't be right at the water surface, presumably because they don't want to render the above water and below water view at the same time.

Yeah I realized my swimmer doesn't work, but hoping the next update fixes it.


I can't complain about EVERYTHING! Jeez.

My swimmer (version 1.1) seems totally borked -- but I saw another avvie using 1.1 yestersay with no troubles. Curious.

My swimmer doesn't work either, bummer. And I have a free 90 sec hug that makes me hump like a rabbit. Strange thing is: my sl partner has the exact same hug and when she hugs me I don't hump at all

Diffeerent height avvies?

There's stuff about th' huggers of the JIRA. I also demonstrated the trouble to Sidewinder last Friday, so I know he's aware of H4 hugging trouble.

I have a few and they ALL work just fine. Could it be that the scripts are pretty much hacked up to make the behave the way they use to and now the new physics engine is better in areas causing certian things to be way over compensated by ugly, crappy code?

I installed a freebie script I acquired Pre-Havok 4 Beta! into a boat I was building. Works just fine after the necessary adjustments. My Anticepter flys great, as I am sure just about every other vehicle in my arsenal.

Yes, I have the SLwim 2.1, but it's being so laggy that I almost hate to swim anymore. :C

Ahh its the lag you were referring to, yes recently that has been extreme even at off peek hours. That is affecting everything though, I do believe the device is functioning OK though considering.

could different viewers effect that some scripts work for some and not for others?

The other day, I was in my garage, minding my business, when someone approached me, and said "Hai". I said hi back, and then that person started humping poor Teeny like a rabbit. Teeny booted and banned that person. Said person was taller. Maybe I misunderstood that poor av...

Yep, most vehicle scripts just perform badly in quirky ways now in havoc 4. I've updated all my drivable boats, jetskiis, yachts, etc. to work properly now and will exchange the new updated version for my previous customers at no charge. I've always given Lindens some slack with their messed up releases, but this one takes the prize for pissing off creators in sl.

I see at least one owner of Siggy's Swimmer in this thread can't have known about the Jira issue, so if you would kindly take your voting fingers over here...

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1281

..that would be great. Thank-you.

Will do...Maureen and I went swimming the other night, and using the swimmer went from funny to irritating to funny to just forget about it...

Yeah. I just appear to be falling when I try to use it.

If we can just get more votes, somebody on Battery Street will hopefully sit up and take notice.

They know about the swimmer issue. I think they're hammering on target omega and huggers first. An here with swimsuit season comin!

Snaptick Laxness has revised his kayak. It works great again! Also, a Linden bought one of the new ones form him, trying to learn his secrets. Might've gotten them, too.
