V1.9 Leaves You In The Dark

Won't work since the light EMITS light and prims don't block light.

So how many actually use Local light in its current state, <1% ?, cause you sure cant use it now without dropping considerably in performance.

yes this means work for people who use light with their objects, expected to get a few im's myself, as the builds i have are made for local light (when i could acutally USE it without chocking).

Theres millions of prims out there that been set light that dont need it, reverting them to > Full Bright < good!, this option wasnt availible awhile ago so they had to use "light" to make it stand out in the crowd.

Changing a old object from "Full bright" to another to a light setting isnt that hard, but the new light is alot smaller radius.


Cant wait to get it on main myself \o

that's correct. Almost all existing "light" objects should be full bright objects anyway, so only the tiny fraction of real lights will need to be update.
Use the ones for changing full-bright.
If Linden Labs did what the people asking for "re-enabling" the script want, and made the old lighting calls turn on the new lighting code, lighting would be unusable again. Not because if lag, but because there would be so many competing lights you'd never notive the actual new lighted prims in all the glare.
