llSetPrimitiveParams bug?

I'm trying to call llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_FULLBRIGHT, ALL_SIDES, TRUE]); but LSL throws an error on PRIM_FULLBRIGHT, saying that it's not declared. This is strange, since it's shown on the wiki for all to see as being legitimate. http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llSetPrimitiveParams

So the question is: If PRIM_FULLBRIGHT isn't the proper constant, what is?

You can test PRIM_FULLBRIGHT in the 1.7 preview. This is a new parameter in 1.7 which is not available in 1.6.x

For the same effect in 1.6 (with the nasty side effect of additional client side processing) set PRIM_MATERIAL to PRIM_MATERIAL_LIGHT.

I have been considering the use of this parameter to assist in the removal of seams between prims.

But afraid to do so, as scripts seem to have serious impact on the speed of a sim.

So on balance, does anyone have any idea which would cause more lag in a sim:
- 100 prims with a simple face brightness control script, or say,
- 200 prims with no scripts at all?

I am hesitant to do the experiment because it would not be kind to my neighbours.

It's not scripts, so much as *active* scripts. A well-designed one should be fine even so.

Also, in 1.7, the script scheduler will eliminate many script-lag issues.

Ahh I see! I kinda wish it said it was ONLY usable on the test grid right now hehe. Thanks very much :)

Ah, so I could presume that a "run once on rez" script would result in only negligible lag merely by being present, so long as I didn't 'spike' server demand by launching 100 at once?

Or perhaps - a script that modified a prim and then removed itself from said prim. This is good food for thought, thank you :)

Indeed. actually, in 1.7 there's not even a need for the script - you can can select fullbright as a texture option in the Edit box.
