Vehicle problems since last upgrade...

Is there any word on repairing the Animation permissions that the new version messed up? Vehicles I created the day beforehand that worked are now having problems saying permissions not ganted when they are in the script. If there is a change that needs to be implemented FULL instructions on how to do so would be appreciated, since some of us only alter scripts and are not programmers ourselves. An answer would be nice to this as it takes out most of my store stock and most of that of my competitors as well. I ahve yet to find a motorcycle from any bike maker in SL that is not sufferring from the same effects. Also my map always shows anyone as off the grid and I still cannot message groups or receive any group IM's. This is all since the advent of the first Patch of 1.9. Prior to that first patch I had no issues with such.

Let's take some simple steps here towards making this better, Dmitri.

First, this permissions problem you describe... please have a look at several past SL Answers postings, including my own reply here:

First, pardon for the replicated post--didn't want to narrow our communication range here.

These recent postings all detail related experiences, so to connect them:
/139/b0/97398/1.html
/139/d2/97502/1.html
/139/ee/97281/1.html
/139/ae/97520/1.html
/54/f2/97438/1.html

Second, I'd like to apologize for the sheer frustration this has caused. As we have a history of doing--see Known Issues--we like to fix something like this agilely, sometimes quicker than a timeframe can be discussed, as was the case just the other day with the llXorBase64Strings problem.

To confirm, "llReleaseControls should fail silently if you do not have permissions", allowing for automatic revocation of permissions for animations and soforth, has JUST been fixed internally. Which means, pending verification, should be addressed in the next version of Second Life ASAP.

I witnessed amazing teamwork today in coordinating everything together.

Help is on the way, please be assured we very much care about things like this! :)

One thing to test is to TP to different estates (private islands), relog each time, and keep on attempting to do group chats and map-track others. Test closely with a friend, ask them to do the same. Experiment greatly and compare the results. If you have a solid repro, please send a bug report from HELP menu ---> REPORT BUG. I've had some sporadic problems like this; it's cleared up greatly since 1.9.0 (18), but by all means, we wouldn't want to miss if you have a firm case we can check out further. I'd also recommend contacting support for more help. :)
