Vendor Gifting

Lulu-at-deskIf you’ve experienced issues recently trying to gift LULU gear to someone, and the vendor didn’t recognize the avie…

Good news!

I’ve just fixed it. Gift away!

Tip: Did you know that if you gifted something to someone, and that someone is unowned (or new to LULU gear), you will automatically be assigned as that person’s Owner? You know, just to get everyone started and into the mood…

Congrats Natsuki260, our latest First-Slave x6

Natsuki260, LULU First Slave x6 (Click to enlarge)

Congrats to Natsuki260 (aka Ysabeau) on becoming the latest First Slave x6 by completing the full Trials of Silence on all six Signature Gags.

Every LULU has a story. This is hers:

So, I finally completed my final gag trial. When I first started these gag trials, I wasn’t exactly enthusiastic, but my Domme wished me to at least get one of them done.

After the first one was completed, she said, “Good, now we can do the other 5.” as a joke, to which I decided “Not a joke any more, Lets do this!” As an odd form of minor rebellion.

“After trials 2 and 3, I found myself slowly getting addicted, and it was a nice tiny break from writing college papers and getting labs done.

Once I hit my final gag, I knew I was almost done, and I was excited to be able to say I’ve done them all, though now that it’s over I feel like “Now what?” Like I’ve just completed a game.

All in all, the challenge of the trials was rather enjoyable, and the fact that I had people to support me through this made a world of difference, otherwise, it never would have happened.

Thanks to all who helped, especially My Mistress Rayne!”

Are you a First Slave x6 too? Do you have a story to tell? IM me inworld.

Coming in HUD7 ARIA: Wearing SigGear on no-rez land

Whoa. That took a lot longer than expected.

See, I was minding my own business, coding stuff, rewriting old code in the new Quantum Engine framework, when a thought struck me. What a wonderful opportunity to insert some new features that I’d always wanted to see, but simply didn’t have time to make happen.

Currently, if you wanted to lob some Cuffs on the sub and she happens to be on no-rez land, she has to manually dig into her inventory to wear her Used Cuffs (she didn’t delete all of them, right?).

Well, not any more.

With HUD7, on command, the HUD will automatically wear the gear using RLVa. No Air-Rez of course, as that still requires land rights.

So, if you’re not already on an RLVa-enabled viewer like Firestorm, this is a good time to try them out.

More to come. Stay tuned.

Blog makeover!

Lulu-at-deskThis weekend something happened. Well, the blog went down. Turns out it was due to one of the plugins. A bit of panic, research and debugging later, I managed to fix it.

But the blog now gave up a blank screen instead of the error message. So I upgraded to the latest WordPress version (which I haven’t done for a bit).

After a bit of prodding and coddling, the blog finally whirred back to life. Since I had already been sidetracked from my coding project for the day, I decided to go down the ‘blog’ path and explore what I’d always wanted to do but didn’t have time to get started: give the site a makeover.

So what was initially a one hour detour quickly slid down a slippery slope into hours as I tweaked this and that. And that and this. And…

Voilà. Hope you like it!

PS. I’m sure I’ll find something else to tweak tomorrow.

New Quantum Engine

Just a quick update. The re-write is going very well.

The LULU system needs to keep track of a lot of user stats, and requires a lot of code to do its magic. A lot of code is also needed to present unique experiences, depending on whether Owners or the sub is using the gear.

Since the launch of the Collar, I’ve been busy developing a new framework called the Quantum Engine. As the name implies, it is tiny, but very powerful. It uses a quite a few original tricks to squeeze all the current capabilities (and then some!) into a much smaller memory area.

The result is that you should be able to use your LULU gear in crowded sims now. With all 8 Cuffs plus Collar and Gag, you might have to be stingy with other worn scripts. But with say 4 Cuffs plus Collar, you should have room for others.

All major technical challenges of the Quantum Engine have been solved, it’s “just” re-coding everything and testing – which still takes a lot of time. But it’s all good.

Over the weeks I’ll share about other exciting improvements.
