They claim to have got a fix for the most common form of ghosting!

Party in the Preview Grid?
03-08-2005 14:07
Hmm.... Exciting :)

Correct me if I'm wrong - but I thought that the frequency of ghosting is in direct proportion to the amount of lag in the sim.

Providing that assumption is correct, maybe a scheduled "Lag Party" is in order once the preview grid comes up.

Everyone wear their hoochie hair.... max prim dresses.... scripted shoes.... Make sure we have plenty of visitor counters active :P

Once its sufficiently laggy (which wouldn't take too long).... let the rezzing/deleting commence :)

(I'm actually semi-serious here.... maybe it'd be a good ghost test?)

I'd be happy to host it in the evening sometime if someone's got the land online in the preview grid..... (or if the Lindens want to bring Isabel online for testing) :)

Whatcha think?

I'm up for it - I have lots of prim hair and can add as many attachments as needed. We need to test this after all.

We could squat in The Edge as Da Boom is on the preview grid.

Sure... sounds like a plan :) As long as building is enabled on that parcel it could be a decent test.

We'd just need about 10-15 folks hoochied up to the max.

Maybe Wed night.... 5pm-6pm-ish game time? (assuming all is up)

ok - i'll IM Jenna, unless you want to. It will be in her interest to test this as well.

Ok. The ghosting fix test will be at 5pm game time on Wednesday. Please assemble at Da Boom on the *Preview Grid* and we'll try and create as much lag as possible.

All avs who can make it will be much appreciated. The aim is a scientific recreation of lag in an event environment :)

I can safely say that this is because of my friend's work on a script that realiably creates ghosts to allow them to easily diagnose the common ghosting (not avatar or attachment though :( He gave it to the lindens to allow them to work on ghosting.

This is BTW the same person that has been treated like shit by the lindens.... banned to work on his project in the sandbox and also banned by many cowardly sim owners.

Yet he continues, dispite being treated so unfairly, to contribute to the common collective.

oh, I forgot to mention, they banned him from the preview grid, so he can't even see the result of his help!

Oh yeah, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who is totally responsible for the fixes. Apparently it's really serious. :mad:

If you want ghosting, I have a 1,500 prim build that I could rezz a few times. It never fails to ghost some of its parts on deletion.

Lock stock and Two smoking barrels.. woops wrong forum.

Note the above is a joke and is not aimed at any one but to prove a point that this thread is kicking the same dead ghost as many others do :eek:

Well we couldn't create any ghosts - even with a sim FPS of 20 and time dilation of 0.1.

Just a heads up....

The test seemed to be overwhelmingly successful...

Got Sim FPS to 4
Time Dialation to 0.05

Oz rezzed a 1500 prim object..... deleted.... no ghosties

Created tons of objects for almost an hour.... not a single ghost.


We did notice some new behavior.... some objects would "try" to ghost... then poof after about 5 seconds.

/cheer!

We had a few folks log out & back, myself included..... no Avatar ghosts

Several changed their attachments often - no attachment ghosts

Definately no object ghosts!

Just played 10 full levels of Prim Attack, and not a single ghost, either on the board or hidden transparently above the board. =D

oh man this is the best news I could have ever wanted to hear about 1.6...

The linden gods have actually heard my prayers...

When I looked at the original feature list and saw that ghosting was not addressed... I was fuming...

This is great... I am glad it's been addressed... even if it is a partial fix, I would still be glad...

I am also glad that the lindens used my friend's rezzer script to help with this... I hope they think about good things like this the next time he is up for a banning :)
