Re: [opensource-dev] Message Reception

2010-12-04 Thread Dale Innis
Random thoughts:

I'm pretty sure there is no viewer setting to do this (I would imagine
that the data isn't even sent to the viewer if you're out of range, so
it would require server cooperation to raise the chat-hearing limit,
and the server doesn't have such a function afaik).

It would be simple enough for security to place little chat-relay
objects around the club, that would listen to open chat and
rebroadcast it using llShout() or llRegionSay() or other applicable
methods on a different channel, and then security could listen to it
with a receiver that listens on that channel.

To avoid ToS violation ("without consent") there should be clearly
visible signage saying "by being in this club you consent to having
security monitor whatever you say in open chat"; I'm not a Linden, but
I would expect that would be sufficient.

If someone's plotting to cause trouble, they'll be doing it in IM
anyway :) and you definitely can't monitor that.  I guess you might be
able to get early warning of trouble if Resi A starts cursing out Resi
B in open chat, out of normal chat distance of security.  Dunno if
that happens often enough to make a system of chat relays and
ToS-covering signage worth the trouble...

Re: [opensource-dev] Draw Distance - TPV Solution Example

I do, too.  In general I miss various of Emerald's chatbar commands
when I use V2.

Draw-distance, and gth (Go To Height) and flr ("floor"; go to ground
height) the most.

fwiw,

Yet another plea to move the endless offtopic Emerald discussions

You have th' patience of a saint.  :)

I think the script or whatever that generates the transcripts has a
bug or two.  Note in the attendee list such amusing names as:

3 Person
Bring back
CloseChatOnReturn fails
Leave LOCATION

fwiw,

These will be major, and very welcome, changes to the SL experience!

Imprudence is no less stable than any other viewer (TP or LL).   Every
viewer has its fans and its detractors, based I think mostly on what
happens to work best on the individual machine.  (For instance I have
had zero stability problems with Imprudence, including for building,
but have never been able to get Kirsten's to work for me usably at
all; I imagine there are others with just the opposite experience.)

Re: [opensource-dev] On Live, SL via Cloud Computing

2010-10-28 Thread Dale Innis
Has anyone on this list actually tried OnLive?  What's the ping time
and the general responsiveness like?

People are always hyping these server-side-rendering solutions as the
Next Big Thing, but so far I don't see it...
