this script will make it easier to find them.
string hintGiverStr = "Hintgiver";
string hintOwner = "Ben Linden";
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Looking for SL 2.0 screenshot hints that are probably an April Fool's joke anyway");
llSensorRepeat(hintGiverStr, NULL_KEY, AGENT | ACTIVE | PASSIVE | SCRIPTED, 96.0, TWO_PI, 5);
}
on_rez(integer something)
{
llResetScript();
}
sensor(integer total_number)
{
integer i = 0;
llSay(0, "detected " + (string)total_number + " hint givers. ");
for(i = 0; i < total_number; i++)
{
llSay(0, " object at " + (string)llDetectedGrab(i));
llSay(0, " its key is " + (string)llDetectedKey(i));
llSay(0, " its detected position is " + (string)llDetectedPos(i));
llSay(0, " its detected owner is " + (string)llDetectedOwner(i));
llSay(0, " ");
}
}
no_sensor()
{
}
}

Some are just "Hint"

those coordinates Ben gave on the snapzilla pic are in Balance. Its a real coordinates. But when I clicked on the hint it didn't take me anywhere. Perhaps we are just to fast for him in his dropping of the hints. You can easily get the coordinates by looking in Help> About Second Life.
Second Life 1.6.0 (15) Mar 31 2005 07:20:58
You are at 255414.4, 255773.1, 28.9 in Balance located at

Yeah it looks more like the unfilled part of a repeating pattern of letters/signs... so that means nothing  |

Can people please post the BITMAP version, not the jpeg version... we won't get a good picture if we're overlaying 8 lossy layers with compression.

If it is an April Fools prank, then where does the line start to kick Ben in the ass?

I got TGAs and a better picture...
... honestly, though, if LL wants to show off how great the new 2.0 render engine is, then Ben needs to go back and use NON-ANTI-ALIASING on his masks... right now the anti-aliasing is causing picture loss = we'll never see how cool the engine is. =(

From: Postmark Jensen If it is an April Fools prank, then where does the line start to kick Ben in the ass? It may well be. LL is supposed to be working on Havok 2.0 for 1.7, and the new rendering engine is due for 1.8 aka 2.0. I was under the impression that it was still in the early development stages... besides... aside from having a crazy draw distance, that pic looks just like the normal SL. |

probably a hoax
04-01-2005 08:07
here's a pic of it 'grey spaced' so the empty/missing parts of the image are abit more natural to the eye, looks like an existing city build in SL, at least, nothing fancy, the 'b3n 15 1337 is a pretty good giveaway too heh

That's a picture of Nova Albion (the double prim city sims), taken facing the SE (where Gibson is). From the poor quality of the pictures, the only thing I can see is a ridiculous draw distance.

Speaking of clues, did anybody else notice that Magellan and Marcos Fonzarelli look like they were separated at birth? Go flip the front pages of this website. Marcos...Magellan...Marcos....Magellan....
People think I make this stuff up. Go look.
