A fix has been deployed to the Beta Test Grid for testing.

After further discussion, no delay will be imposed - the previously functionality will be restored.

Your help in verifying this will be appreciated.

From others, I've heard _it is_ working under the Beta Test Grid.

Sounds good to me!

This is a relief. I guess our voices got heard. Now we don't have to find another way to do something that we could have already done.

in the meantime, I have created a simple subroutine to replace the warpPos subroutine in my teleporters. basically all I did was rename the warpPos Subroutine to "RealWarpPos()" effectively taking it out of use by the script for the interim.. and replaced it with THIS subroutine.

WarpPos(vector destpos)
{
    // Ugly hack by Winter Ventura
   while ( llVecDist(llGetPos(), destpos) > 0.001 )
   {
      llSetPos(destpos);
   }
}

Slow and steady.. but it gets the job done, retrofitting a WarpPos teleporter to the old method.. with no massive headaches. Assuming of course your Teleporter is full mod.

And removing the retrofit is as easy as removing that snippet of code, and the word "Real" from "RealWarpPos".. nice thing is.. if you forget, your teleporters will STILL FUNCTION (albeit in this slowpoke mode) once WarpPos is reenabled.

(had to do something though.. no one could get to their skyboxes!)
