Re: [opensource-dev] An Idea
Yeah, I had the same thoughts on the TP history, that property would make it a pretty good proposal. Aren't TPs already tracked via local chat log? If so, then the puzzle pieces are available to put a prototype. - Nexii Malthus On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 7:38 AM, Lance Corrimal wrote: > Am Sonntag 23 Oktober 2011 schrieb a...@skyhighway.com: > > Hey Everybody, > > > > i had an idea.

The only issue I can see is commenting to why it's limited to 1 degree off the pure limit, so as to prevent this kind of confusion again. My guess is to prevent gimbal lock - which could then be rectified a different way later in the future, for instance by eliminating the limits and using non-Euler angles to control the rotation allowing the user to rotate continuously in vertical direction like is done in the horizontal. - Cron On Oct. 23, 2011, 6:44 a.m., Oz Linden wrote: > > --- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.

Re: [opensource-dev] An Idea
Y'all, i hadn't thought about how much of SL is someplace that would be pretty boring to tp to. i don't know what tp'ing within range of a security orb would be like, but i'll trust you if you say it it wouldn't be fun. It doesn't sound like fun, anyway. i think the things that made me think the most were the way i've looked for things to do sometimes by zooming around on the map & picking someplace with lots of avis for a place to go. About half the time that's not very exciting, but the other half has made SL worth the time! i just found out about Zindra a couple of days ago. Someone on the NCI chat told me about it. You're right. i *definitely* wouldn't want to tp there. In fact, if there was some setting i could adjust in my viewer to make sure i never went there by trick or by accident, i would use the setting *for sure*! i think i can deal with random kinda "adult content" places sort of like, "generally," but if Zindra is what i was told it was, i'd even be happier if it showed up on my map as a black hole with that red circle bar on it. The other thing about random tp'ing is the lists of places that the search gives up. It seems like there should be some easy way to keep all that stuff indexed and sorted so that a random tp could access it in several different ways. The point is, tp'ing to a place i've been before or that got randomly selected from the 3 or 4 thousand LMs i have would be a little interesting, but it would be primo if the random loc was picked from places i've never been, or at least officially "really cool" sites. i've never done the Google, "I'm feeling lucky" thing, but i think i get the idea. It's like, yeah, like that, only like, *interesting*, you know? Not just some webpage. There's billions of those and if the random coords in SL are boring and maybe dangerous, picking a random page off the Internet sounds like some wierd kind of Russian Roulette with 1 real bullet in the gun, 1 that squirts lemonade, and 4 filled with sleeping gas. i dunno. If somebody came up with a "Random TP" button, i'm sure i'd press it several times every time i went in-world, even if most of the tps were boring, gave me some hazard i had to avoid immediately, or had me tp'ing out like it couldn't happen fast enough and wishing i'd thought of wearing a biohazard space suit before i pushed the button. My curiosity has got me in trouble way more times than i like to think about! Maybe it's crazy to want to amp it out in SL, but i'll bet i'm way not the only one who'd be thumpin' that button almost by reflex. Thx, ppl!! - AK Yeah, I had the same thoughts on the TP history, that property would make it a pretty good proposal. Aren't TPs already tracked via local chat log?

Well, as soon as i get my computer fixed, > anyway. Hum... Kinda like the "I'm feeling lucky!" button on google? Not a good idea in SL in my opinion. A random Tp to some random grid coords will take you: - underwater - to someone's private parcel - on top of someone's banline - in range of someone's security orb - on some abandoned land - on some unused mainland most of the time. not to mention the chance to get a "You have no access to that teleport destionation" without even knowing what destinaion it was would be pretty frustrating. And then there's zindra. do you really want to randomly land in zindra? now, "take me to a random showcase destination with the same maturity rating as the parcel i'm on" would be kinda cool. "take me to a random showcase destination with the same rating, that is not yet in my tp history" would be cooler. bye, LC ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com
Re: [opensource-dev] An Idea
1) open map 2) zoom out all the way 3) double click somewhere works for me :) On Sat, Oct 22, 2011 at 4:51 PM, wrote: > Hey Everybody, > > i had an idea.
